She faces her next challenge in living life without the family she imagined. At this point Dory believes her parents may be dead, a nadir in her search for a sense of family, which establishes an internal conflict over what she should do next, how she handles this information, and what family is without her parents.

Meanwhile aimlessly swimming in thought, Dory actually stumbles across her parents who have unceasingly sought after her by laying shells out to guide her to their new home. Dory’s exuberance and short attention span lead her to her next challenge of now reuniting with her friends who helped her along this
