Obviously if we put live electricity in the sea, the whole ocean wouldn’t then become dangerous with it. At what point does the electricity stop? What stops it?

Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons want to be in balance with protons. Electricity flows because the electrons are trying to get in balance and it stops once they are. Lightning occurs because a cloud accumulates too many electrons. Air is mostly empty space. Water and earth are dense and contain many protons (and electrons). After the lightning (electrons) jumps to the ground, they spread out among all those protons.
