Welcome back to Good Morning Oceana.
Today, we're celebrating the one-year anniversary
of Princess Merliah's arrival to our underwater world.
Merliah rocks.
Oh, and she's so beautiful.
[Host] Merliah was the daughter of our own Queen Calissa
but since the poor girl was born with legs
Calissa gave Merliah to her human grandfather, Break.
And not a moment too soon.
Calissa herself was soon imprisoned
by her wicked sister, Eris,
a tyrant who ruled over us all for years with an iron fin.
(screaming)
[Both] She's so evil.
But brave Merliah came to Oceana's rescue,
diving down to our world, where she accepted her true self.
I am Merliah, half-mermaid princess of Oceana
and it is my duty to protect my subjects.
(both gasping)
(enchanting music)
(gasps)
Merliah became a real mermaid
and gained the strength to defeat Eris
who wound up caught in her own whirlpool
and vanished to the deepest trench in the ocean.
[Eris] I don't deserve this!
[Both] Yes you do. (crowd cheering)
With Eris gone, Merliah released Calissa
who again ruled us with love,
while spinning Merillia which gives life to the sea.
In return, Calissa gave Merliah a magic necklace
that enabled her to become a human or a mermaid
any time she wished.
And since then our princess has been a superstar
in both the human and mer-worlds.
Why, this very day, sources tell me she's up on the surface
competing in the biggest surf meet of her life.
So happy anniversary, Princess Merliah,
and may the happy times continue for all of Oceana.
[Both] She's the queen of the waves!
♪ Check it out, she's spinnin' that board around ♪
♪ Queen of the waves ♪
♪ No one's gonna take away her crown ♪
We got a great day here at Laguna Beach
for this year's Surf Invitational.
These riders have been heating up the waves,
including our current contestant
and Malibu crowd favorite, Merliah Summers.
(crowd cheering)
- Way to go, Merliah. - Let's go, Merliah.
[Kylie] Whoo!
What?
Hey.
Mind if I drop in?
[Announcer] Looks like Merliah's biggest competition
out there this year is Kylie Morgan.
She's really giving Merliah a run for her money.
This is my wave, Kylie.
Oh, we'll see about that.
Coming through.
Beat that.
Huh, I could do better with my eyes closed.
Oh, yeah.
Let me show you how it's done.
You call that style?
Huh?
Yes.
[Announcer] Whoa!
Merliah Summers busted out a new trick.
Way to go, Merliah, way to go.
All right.
(crowd cheering)
I got one thing to say to you, Liah.
Let me guess: Whoa?
Whoa!
Thanks, Grandpa.
You thrashed it, Merliah.
You're taking this meet.
Your run was great too, Fallon.
Wait, I'm seeing a vision.
The two of you, holding surfboards,
cuddling koalas in Australia.
(upbeat music) (girls exclaiming)
Oh sorry, did I get you?
My bad.
Aggro much?
Come on, Fallon.
I thought it was a nice carve.
If she'd had more of those on the waves today
she might even have a shot at beating me.
You mean the way I whooped you last week in La Jolla?
Actually, I was thinking more about
the way I beat you the week before in Redondo.
(scoffs)
In your dreams.
Listen up, dudes and dudettes,
our panel of judges have chosen our winners.
Third place, Fallon Casey.
- (crowd cheering) - Yes.
You did it!
Yeah, Fallon!
That's amazing.
First and second place are up next.
Now, that's gotta be you two.
It almost doesn't matter who's first.
Oh, it matters.
And second place, Kylie Morgan.
(growls)
Second?
And in first place, queen of the waves, Merliah Summer.
- Yes. - Oh, way to go.
Nice work, baby girl.
(crowd cheers) (Kylie groans)
[Announcer] These surfers advance
to the World Championship Surf Invitational in Australia.
Group hug.
Oh, my, this is huge.
You too, Kylie, come on.
You were lucky, mate,
but your luck's gonna run out down under.
That's my turf.
She's just a little old ray of sunshine.
Isn't she?
(seal barking)
Snouts!
Hey, what'd you think?
(laughing)
I know someone else who'll be stoked for you.
(gasps) My mom.
I'm gonna go tell her.
See you later.
- See you later, Merliah. - Bye Liah!
Catch you later.
Have fun.
(mystical music)
I wish to become a mermaid
(gentle music)
(laughs)
Race you to Oceana.

(mermaids chattering happily)
Hi, nice to see you again.
Hello.
Hi.
(screaming and giggling)
Hi, nice to see you.
[Merman] Merliah! Happy Anniversary.
Oh, thanks.
Oh, Princess Merliah.
We're all wondering
how did you do at the big surf meet today?
I'd be happy to tell you all about it
but first I wanna tell my mom.
Snouts can fill you in on the highlights, though.
Thanks so much.
Goodbye.
(barks)
I see.
Is that "arf" with one F or two?
(mystical music)
[Calissa] Thank you.
I remember my mother gave me this
before my first Changing of the Tides Ceremony.
[Merliah] It's beautiful, Mom.
Merliah!
(happy music)
Welcome back, Merliah.
So?
How did it go?
Did you win?
Well, I won.
Wonderful.
Congratulations, Merliah.
Thanks, Zuma.
I've been pulling out some special things
to pack for the trip.
(mysterious music)
What is it?
It's a see shell.
You can see its owner's memories.
Show me the last Changing of the Tides Ceremony.
[Merliah] So that's Aquellia.
Yes, the city where merfolk history began,
deep in the waters off New Zealand.
Every 20 years, a member of the royal family
must return to Aquellia, sit atop the ancient throne
and regain the power to make Merillia.
That's you?
I was so nervous.
Still, I took my place on the throne
and spoke the ancient rite.
With the Changing of the Tides
Merillia power will arise.
The royal mermaid on the throne.
Her fullest mer-self now is known.
And then, at exactly midday, it happened.
(mystical music)
Wow.
[Calissa] When it was all over, I had the power
to make Merillia and give life to the sea.
That's amazing.
You must be so excited to do it again.
I wish you could have the honor.
But the magic was so powerful,
it transformed my tail forever.
I fear it would transform yours too
and you would be unable to use your legs again.
I can't even imagine.
And I would never ask you to do it.
I'm just thrilled you'll be there to watch.
Well, actually,
the ceremony's the same day as the invitational.
And?
Um... And so I can't make it.
You what?
Uh-oh.
(sighs)
You'll just have to miss this one surf meet.
You are the princess of Oceana, Merliah.
You must be at the ceremony.
- Uh- - Hey, Merliah,
you wanna catch a movie?
"Karate Squid"?
"Raiders of the Lost Carp"?
"Starfish Wars"? Kylie Morgan will be there.
This'll be my chance, once and for all,
to prove I'm better than she is
in front of the whole surfing world.
True worth isn't measured in comparison to others.
Life isn't a competition.
Let's make the funniest faces we can think of.
Mom, please listen to me.
I know you want me to see the ceremony but I have to go.
Hey, anyone ever seen a dolphin juggle?
Merliah, it's important to the mer-people of Oceana
that their princess takes an interest
in the future of the ocean.
But what about what's important to me?
Don't you even care?
Of course I do, but you're being unreasonable.
Mom, don't you see,
I've been working for this my whole life.
If you really care,
you'll understand that and be happy for me.
Merliah, come back.
(groans)
So that went well.
(tense music)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat music)
What a capper to an incredible day on the waves.
This final qualifying heat
of the World Championship Surf Invitational
has been brutal, but it's not over yet.
You're in for a real treat now.
We're seeing two of this year's key riders
going head to head.
Merliah Summers and her rival, Kylie Morgan.
This should prove to be an exciting matchup.
- Yes! - Whoo hoo!
Go, Merliah!
(upbeat music)
Merliah Summers shows us all how it's done
with her signature style and grace
while pulling an amazing backside reverse kerrupt flip.
Whoa!
Monster backside air reverse by Kylie Morgan.
Can anyone challenge those skills?
Oo, Merliah Summers answers with a 360 rocket grab.
It's a grudge match on the waves.
Say goodbye to first place, Merliah Summers.
Wow, a wicked kick flip on a board from Kylie Morgan.
(both gasp)
(exclaims)
Oh, I can't believe it.
Merliah Summers shoots the tube on her hands.
(whimpering)
Wild wipeout after a beautiful ride.
But Kylie Morgan's riding strong.
She aces the tube and comes out with a backside air 720.
Whoo! (air horn blares)
(laughs) All right.
[Announcer] Right on, then.
That's the heat.
Come on in.
Do you think she'll still move on after that wipeout?
Not sure.
She has to get into the top three
to move on like I did in my heat.
Think good thoughts.
(sighs) Good thoughts.
Kittens, ponies, sardine and jam.
It's an acquired taste.
Fuzzy pink slippers.
Merliah, wait up.
You got something on your back.
Oh, wait, that's just my footprints
'cause I stomped all over ya.
Very funny.
We'll see what happens tomorrow at the finals.
Mm-hmm.
If you qualify.
(reporters clamoring)
Excuse me.
I'm guessing they just wanna talk to me
about my killer technique.
- Merliah! - Merliah, over here.
Just one more picture please.
How long did you have to train for that move?
(all exclaiming)
It was amazing.
And then when you wiped out, are you okay?
'Cause you look good.
[Announcer] And the scores are in.
Cinnamon bunny ears.
Sugar-coated surfboards.
Marshmallow pillows.
Moving on from this heat to tomorrow's finals:
third place, Allie Mahoney.
Second place, Merliah Summers.
And in first place, Kylie Morgan.
Congratulations, surfers.
Wow, I can't believe I won first place.
Me.
Kylie.
The winner.
Merliah, what do you call that handstand move?
It's called the Summers Switcheroo, of course.
And we'll be featuring it in our new ad campaign
for Wavecrest Surf Gear.
Ugh!
What?
That is, if you're interested
in being our new spokesperson.
But you.
You're Georgie Majors.
You created Wavecrest.
I wear your clothes all the time.
I love them.
(laughs) And I love your spirit.
So, what do you say?
We can do our first photo shoot at tonight's luau.
Are you kidding?
Yes.
Dazzling.
I'll see you then.
I can't wait.
Ms. Majors?
Ms. Majors.
I wanted to introduce myself.
Uh, Kylie Morgan.
I won the last heat.
You know, me.
Not Merliah. Me.
Ah, I see.
Congratulations.
I'm just saying, in case you wanted another spokesperson
or a different one.
I can do handstands too.
(grunts)
See?
One-handed even.
Yeah. Impressive.
See you at the luau.
But I won the last heat.
I won.
Whoa!
(growling)
(unsettling music)
(enchanting music)
[Zuma] Whoa.
The Mercropolis is stunning.
[Calissa] Mm-hm.
It's an honor to be here with you.
Mm.
I'm glad you see it that way.
You can go talk to her, you know.
We're not far from the Australian coast.
[Mermaid] Calissa.
(gasps)
[Calissa] Ambassadors.
Calissa, we're so glad you're here.
It's been forever.
And this must be Zuma.
It's a pleasure.
Oo, nice meeting you.
Kattrin.
Still the fastest mermaid in the ocean, I see.
Isn't it glorious here at the Mercropolis?
So open and beautiful and free?
It has the perfect energy
for the Changing of the Tides Ceremony.
It does, Mirabella.
It's wonderful to see you.
Oh, Calissa, you look stunning.
Never as stunning as you, Selena.
Your tail is breathtaking.
(sighs) I know.
Look, the light dances off it when I swim.
(chuckles)
Enchanting.
Renata.
Always a pleasure.
Your highness.
We need to catch up.
There's a blissful spot at the top of the Mercropolis.
We can see for miles.
That sounds perfect.
Meet you in two shakes of a mer-tail.
Last one there's a rotten fish egg.
(energetic music)
Uh, weren't we gonna go somewhere, Your Majesty?
No, Zuma.
Merliah knows where to find me if she really wants to.
(sighs)
(unsettling music)
(exciting music)
Hey, look.
A sea lion.
(barks)
[Woman] (chuckles) He's so cute.
(barking)
(applauding)
What's that?
I think it's looking at me.
Well, that's pickled beetroot and poi, mate.
They're delicacies of Australia and Hawaii.
We should try some.
A big helping for me, please.
Ew.
[Photographer] Yeah, that's it.
Let's try surprised.
All right, fierce.
Yeah, that's it, that's it.
Beautiful.
Loving it.
Oh, that's it.
[Georgie] I love your necklace.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, it's a little too distracting.
Draws attention away from the marvelous
Wavecrest suit you're wearing.
You'll have to lose it.
I want everything you're wearing to be Wavecrest's
latest and greatest.
Try this on instead.
Would you mind if I keep it on?
It's very important to me.
I never take it off.
That's lovely.
And thank you for asking so nicely.
You're welcome.
But the answer's no.
You're a Wavecrest Surf Gear girl,
you wear Wavecrest Surf Gear and accessories.
You do want to be a Wavecrest Surf Gear girl, right?
I do.
It's a huge opportunity.
Yes, it is.
Hmm.
Oo, yuck!
Mm.
- (laughing) - Ugh!
How can you eat that?
It's a local delicacy.
You were the one who told me to try it.
That was before I tasted it.
Blech!
Ha! Does that mean I can have yours?
Are you serious?
Here.
Yes.
Water.
Hey, Hadley.
Do you mind holding my stuff while I do the shoot?
It'll just be a few minutes.
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
Cool.
My watch and necklace are in the pocket
so please be careful they don't fall out.
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
Enjoy your, um, sludge.
Mm-hmm!
(giggling)
(suspenseful music)
[Photographer] Oh, lovely.
Oh, give me more of that.
Give me more of that, Merliah.
- Like this? - Okay, now turn your head
up a little?
That is so cute.
Okay.
Beautiful.
(mysterious music)
[Fish] My, aren't we the life of the party?
Huh?
[Fish] Observant too.
Where are ya?
Tish, tosh.
Must I spell everything out for you?
Look down.
Like the ends of your frowny little mouth.
(screams)
Ugh, brilliant.
Scream and get everyone's attention before I can tell you
how to beat Merliah Summers in the tournament.
No wonder you're not getting endorsements.
You're a common-sense nightmare.
Wait, uh, Mr. Fish?
What did you say?
You're a common-sense nightmare?
Uh, before that.
About Merliah.
Oh, well, the girl has a magical advantage.
I'm surprised you haven't figured that out for yourself.
She has a necklace that gives her special powers.
You take that necklace, you take her powers.
A magic necklace?
You're bonkers.
Am I?
You're the one talking to a fish.
Fair enough. Go on.
If you want to win, you'll get that necklace
and bring it back here.
How? I can't just pull it off her neck.
Ugh!
It's a crime I'm lower on the food chain than you.
The necklace isn't on Merliah's neck,
it's in the pocket of her hoodie
which is being held by her goop-devouring friend.
So you want me to just take it?
Oh, forget it.
I clearly mistook for you someone
who actually wanted to win.
Ta-ta.
Wait.
Mm-hmm.
Yes?
I'll get the necklace.
(chuckles)
[Photograper] Right there, oh that's the one.
Dazzling.
Now do one with the Summers Switcheroo.
(crowd exclaims)
[Photograper] Yeah, that's it.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Hold it. Hold it.
Right there. Oh, that's the one.
Very good, very good.
Thank you, Merliah.
Mm, mm!
(chuckling)
(ominous music)
(groans)
Please tell me I'm not too late
for more pickled beetroot and poi.
Are you kidding?
I'm swimming in the stuff.
You can have as much as you want, love.
Yes.
Load me up, please.
(playful music)
More?
(exclaiming)
Hey, Hadley, let me give you a hand.
I'll hold the hoodie while you take
your tasty-looking meal to your seat.
Thanks, Kylie.
That's the great thing about sports, you know?
On the waves you and Merliah
are all in each other's face and "I'll get you"
and splashing each other and salt water everywhere.
But, you know, in real life you're not about that at all.
Nope.
Not like that at all.
Enjoy your grub.
It's really good.
Here, try some.
Good luck at the meet tomorrow.
If you get nervous,
they say you should imagine everyone in their underwear.
Except at a surf meet everyone's in their bathing suits
and that's a lot like underwear.
Uh, thanks for the tip.
But you know what?
All of a sudden, I'm feeling really good about tomorrow.
Mm! (giggling)
Mm, mm.
(ominous music)
Here it is.
Look, I just don't know about all this.
Fine, fine.
Now put on the necklace and jump in the water.
Jump in the water?
- But- - Do you know
a better way to swim?
Look, if you want my help, you'll do what I say.
In. Now.
Now repeat after me.
I wish to become a mermaid.
I wish to become a mermaid?
(gasping)
(enchanting music)
(gasps)
(barking)
What's happening to me?
(all groaning)
Bye, little guy.
Follow me.
All the way under.
Wait.
(gasping)
Yes, congratulations, now you're a mermaid.
You look like a greedy little chipmunk.
You can breathe underwater, you know.
I can breathe?
(exhales)
(groans) Pickled beetroot and poi.
(exclaims)
(gasps) I can breathe underwater.
And I have a tail.
How is it possible?
Same way it's possible for Merliah.
That's the first part of the secret to her success.
There's more?
You think just being a mermaid makes you a better surfer?
You really think you can lug that thing
onto a board and hang one?
- No, but- - You'll get all the answers
you want but only if you stop asking questions
and follow me.
(bouncy music)
(gentle music)
[Merliah] My necklace has to be here.
We've looked everywhere.
I just don't get it.
How did it fall out of my pocket?
I don't know.
Merliah, I'm so sorry.
I'm not blaming you.
I just need to find it.
You do, but we can't look anymore tonight.
The necklace could be right in front of us
and we wouldn't see it.
We'll see better in the morning.
But I have to find it.
Let's keep looking.
(suspenseful music)
(gasps)
Your Majesty, I've brought you the girl.
She'd like your help with her surfing.
[Eris] Why I'd be happy to help.
Come close, my dear, so I can hear you.
I wanna be able to surf better than-
[Eris] I can't hear you, my dear.
Lean closer.
I wanna be able to surf...
You know what?
I really just wanna go-
(fish grunts)
Whoa!
(exclaims) Freedom.
Well done, Alistair.
Still, you could have been speedier about it.
But you said the Changing of the Tides ceremony
isn't until noon tomorrow.
I think I carried out your orders quite swiftly,
all things considered.
Would you like to know how it feels
inside one of those whirlpools?
Uh, no.
Then don't try to tell me how swiftly you got me out.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I mean, no.
I mean, I won't.
Good.
Now come.
We have to make sure
I'm on the throne of Aquellia at midday.
And then I'll have the power to make Merillia,
and the ocean will be mine.
(laughing)
"Then I'll have the power to make Merillia,
"and the ocean will be mine."
(giggles) Hmph.
Not that you could have done any of it without my help.
What did you say?
Uh... Kelp.
I can't do anything without my kelp.
Mm.
Yum.
Wise choice.
Stick with that.
(exclaiming)
"Wise choice. Stick with that."
I'll stick with what I like, thank you very much.
(barking)
Is someone there?
Please, help me outta here.
(barking)
Wait.
Where are you going?
Come back.
(barking)
It's nowhere.
And it wasn't on the beach, either.
Okay, we just need to think clearly.
(Hadley yawns)
I think it's too early to think.
Hmm.
(enchanting music)
Liah?
It's the ocean.
It feels wrong, somehow.
There's a bad energy.
(barking)
Snouts!
Something's going on down there, isn't it?
(barking)
Here too.
My necklace is gone.
It disappeared last night.
(barking)
It's all connected, isn't it?
What happened?
(barking)
(laughing)
Girl, if I didn't know better,
I'd think that sea lion was pretending to be-
Kylie!
Snouts, are you saying
Kylie has something to do with my necklace?
(barking)
(Hadley laughs)
That's so funny.
I was with Kylie last night while I was holding your hoodie.
Wait. You were with Kylie?
She only held the hoodie for a second
so I could balance all my plates.
She held the hoodie?
You keep repeating what I say.
Did you get water in your ears yesterday?
I have to go down there.
How?
If Kylie has the necklace, you can't become a mermaid.
No.
But I can still breathe underwater.
I just won't have a tail.
Wish me luck.
If everything goes well,
I'll be back for the final heat this afternoon.
Be careful down there.
Good luck, Liah.
Let's go.
(barking)
(dark music)
(Alistair panting)
I wonder if I could trouble Your Majesty
to slow down just a tad.
Flapping my fins like this all night, I'm starting to chafe.
(growls)
It's nothing, Alistair.
You're seeing things.
There's nothing to be frightened of at all.
You'll see.
(exclaims)
Don't panic, Alistair.
Do not panic.
Eris!
Honestly, Alistair, what is it this ti-?
Oh, well, what have we here.
Terror.
Sheer, utter terror, Your Majesty.
I can see why.
That is impressive.
Tell me, which one of you is in charge?
I am, and I don't like intruders.
You and your pet will turn back immediately.
Her pet?
Well, I never.
(barking)
Look, I'm rolling over.
I'm afraid this is the fastest way to where I need to go.
You allow me and my pet to pass
and I'll allow you to become my loyal servants
and carry out my bidding.
(laughs)
And why would we do that?
Oh, I was hoping you'd ask that.
From your deepest, darkest fears
your nightmare terror now appears!
(gasps)
Hey.
Hey, what's going on?
What happened to me?
You, my friend, have just had the honor
of being the first to experience my newest magic blast
which makes your greatest fear come true.
No!
Turn me back to normal.
You've got to.
Oh, ho.
I don't got to.
But I do have plenty of nightmares to go around
and I'm very eager to see them in action.
So what do you think?
Would you care to join your leader,
or would you rather follow me?
(fish grumble)
Wise choice.
Come then, Aquellia awaits.
Hey.
Hey, you can't leave me like this.
Come back.
(mysterious music)
(barking)
[Kylie] Help.
Help me.
Please.
Oh, no. No!
Kylie?
Merliah?
Is that you?
Yes, it's me.
Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of there.
A leash.
(suspenseful music)
Okay, Snouts, keep an eye on the leash.
(barking)
Okay, Kylie, I'm coming in.
(whimpers)
(shouting)
Yes.
Merliah.
(exclaims)
The current's even stronger than I remember.
I can't climb out.
(barking)
Oh, no.
(barking) (grunting)
What's happening?
It's okay.
I've got ya.
Try and climb.
I'll pull.
(barking)
We'll pull.
(grunting)
I can't.
What?
Since when does the queen of the waves give up?
Climb.
(tense music)
(Merliah exclaims)
Swim away!
(yelping)
(thunder crashes)
(barking)
(both panting)
Wow.
Yeah.
I'm kinda feeling the same thing.
Did you know?
Is that why you took the necklace?
No, I had no idea.
It was the fish.
The talking fish.
How could there be a talking fish?
What am I saying?
I look like a talking fish.
What happened with the talking fish?
He pushed me.
And when I fell inside, this mermaid burst out.
But an evil-looking mermaid.
Eris.
I never should have taken your necklace.
I just wanna go home and forget this ever happened.
Here.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
(gasping)
Oh, no.
You have to say, "I wish to become a mermaid."
I wish to become a mermaid.
(gasping)
Are you okay?
I wasn't even thinking.
Me neither.
Maybe I'll just hold on to the necklace until we get back.
Good idea.
Snouts will take you.
I have to stay down here.
Why?
The mermaid from the whirlpool is Eris, my aunt.
Your aunt?
If she's free, she'll try to control the entire ocean
and enslave every living thing in it.
Then I'm going with you.
Kylie, we're thousands of feet underwater.
This isn't exactly your element.
My element?
I'm a surfer.
The ocean is my life.
If your aunt is gonna hurt it, I want to help stop her.
Besides, I think you saved my life twice
in the last five minutes.
I owe you.
I can't let you do it.
It's too dangerous.
Didn't you say we only have 'til noon?
We're wasting time talking.
Okay. You're right.
We have to hurry.
Let's go.
(energetic music)
Um, Kylie.
Do you think maybe, uh...
Oh, sorry.
I'll drive, you navigate.
Perfect.
(vibrant music)
I thank you, ambassadors.
As we await the midday sun,
let us enjoy together a ceremonial tea.
You're not setting a place for me?
Eris!
And I brought guests.
(fish growling)
I don't know how you escaped, Eris,
but you will not interfere
with the Changing of the Tides ceremony.
I wonder, if I did, would it be your worst nightmare?
You have one chance to end this peacefully, sister.
Turn back and leave us, now.
Mm, let me think about that one.
No.
(fish growling)
(tense music)
Whoa!
I was always faster than you, sister.
Unfortunately, not smarter, sister.
You don't enjoy a fight like I do.
That's your problem.
I don't try to fight, but I will to defend the ocean.
(Renata grunting)
(Renata exclaims)
Renata?
Oh, tsk, tsk.
Compassion's your downfall, sister.
(Calissa exclaims)
(grunts) No.
I can't swim.
My tail, it's so heavy.
No!
Your nightmare, come true.
Eris!
(gasps) Calissa.
(tense music)
[Kattrin] Get her.
Oh.
Your turn?
(fish growling) (gasping)
Welcome to your worst nightmares, ambassadors.
Oh, let's see.
What frightens you the most?
What have you done?
Taken your speed, apparently.
(sobbing)
And you've lost all your confidence and bravery.
Boo!
(screams)
(laughing)
(tense music)
Need a visual?
No.
(gasps) No!
Well, look at this.
Get me out of here.
I can't stand being closed in.
Oh?
I think I'd much rather enhance the experience.
(fish growling) (electricity crackling)
And just like that, Eris has defeated you all.
You might say it's shocking.
(laughing)
What?
Don't you think that's something
I would have wanted to say?
Sorry.
I'll just go and tidy up that throne for you.
It's a little bit messy.
(unsettling music)
(Calissa grunts)
[Zuma] Calissa.
Zuma.
Oh, thank goodness.
What did Eris do to you?
It's my tail.
(exclaims)
I can't move.
Which means I can't get to the throne, and Eris will.
She'll have the power to make Merillia.
I need your help to get back to the throne.
[Zuma] Grab on.
Swim.
Swim with all your might.
(groaning)
I'm so sorry.
I can't.
Hurry.
Get more help.
Enough that you can lift me to the throne.
We can't let Eris take over.
Perhaps if I could find Merliah?
Yes.
Find her.
Find her and bring her here.
And quickly.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(tense music)
[Kylie] Now that Eris is out, what's gonna happen?
[Merliah] She'll try to stop my mom
from recharging her power
to make Merillia in the Changing of the Tides ceremony.
I have absolutely no idea what you just said.
Merillia is the life force of the sea.
(gasping)
What is it?
My mom.
She's in trouble.
I can feel it.
Hurry.
That way.
And deep.
(frenzied music)
Merliah.
There you are.
Zuma.
And you.
Aren't you-?
Pleased to meet you, talking, pink,
sparkly, dolphin-creature.
Merliah, your mother, she's in terrible danger.
Eris has sunk her to the bottom of the ocean
with a nightmare spell and she's stuck there.
Can you take us to her?
Yes.
Hurry!
Think she's so powerful?
Wait 'til I get my fins on her.
Oh, she'll be sorry.
(grunting)
Can't these things go any faster?
(grunting)
(gasps)
Who's there?
Mom?
Merliah.
Where's your tail?
It's a long story.
Are you okay?
I will be, once we get me off the ocean floor.
I'm sorry.
I never should have gone to the Invitational.
I'm sorry too.
After all, you're not only a mer-princess.
I should have realized
how important your human life is to you too.
Including your love of surfing.
This is all my fault.
I'm Kylie, the one who stole Merliah's necklace.
Blame me.
None of that matters right now.
There's four of you.
If you all work together you can pull me up
and place me on the throne in time for the ceremony.
But what about Eris and the stargazers?
We'll find a way past them.
The most important thing is getting me on that throne.
Are you ready?
Okay, here we go.
One, two, three, swim.
(all grunting)
It's not working.
It has to work.
Try again.
One, two, three.
(all grunting)
Mom.
No. We can't give up.
We can't let Eris sit on that throne
and gain the power of Merillia.
We can't let her take over the ocean.
No. We can't.
So try again.
Everyone, get ready.
Mom, this isn't going to work.
Yes, it will.
It has to.
No, Mom.
The only way to stop Eris from taking over
is if another member of the royal family does the ceremony.
Merliah.
I have to do it.
It has to be me.
If you do it, your legs will become a tail, forever.
You will never walk or surf again.
I know.
But I'm the princess of Oceana.
It's my duty.
And it's my choice.
Merliah.
It's okay, Mom.
I can do this.
But I'll need your help.
You're really gonna do this, Liah?
You're risking everything to do what's right.
You really think I'm gonna let you one-up me?
Good on ya.
I've got your back.
I do too.
(barking)
Don't worry.
We'll be back soon.
Good luck.
(tense music)
So, what's the plan?
Um, trust my instincts.
Beyond that, I have no idea.
(mystical music)
(stargazer growling)
(tense music)
(startling tone)
[Eris] How do I look, Alistair?
Oh, Your Majesty, that throne fits you perfectly.
I know.
It's like it was made just for me.
(stargazer growling)
So let me get this straight.
It's the four of us against a gang of electric fish
with super-sharp teeth, plus your aunt who can point to us
and make our worst nightmares come true.
- Uh-oh. - Pretty much, yeah.
(laughs) That's not even a fair fight.
We should use this kelp to tie our arms behind our backs.
Give 'em a sporting chance.
(gasps) Kylie, you're a genius.
What?
Merliah, that was a joke.
The most brilliant joke ever.
That gives me an idea.
Two words: surf's up.
(barking)
Remember, the stargazers' eyes are on top of their heads.
Stay below them and you'll stay hidden.
(suspenseful music)
(snoring)
(mystical music)
It's time.
(electricity crackling) (growling)
Look, it's Princess Merliah.
(cheering)
What's going on?
Yeah.
- Whoo hoo! - All right.
Yeah.
(gasps) Merliah?
(grunting)
It's Princess Merliah.
Don't just float there like a jellyfish.
Alistair, get her.
Rally the stargazers.
I need to stay on this throne.
Of course, Your Highness.
♪ She's the queen of the waves. ♪
The cage.
Everyone work together.
Push.
(all grunting)
(energetic music)
Work the reins, Kylie.
Hey.
Ah, ah, ah.
You need to listen to me.
(mystical music)
Just a few minutes now.
[Kylie] All right!
Whoo-hoo!
What are you waiting for, you overgrown anchovy?
A written invitation?
Get Merliah and her friend.
Now!
(shouting)
Yeah.
(ambassadors grunting)
[Mirabella] Almost.
Thank you, Zuma.
Thank you, Snouts.
Ambassador Selena?
Ugh.
Long story.
Come.
We must stop Eris.
(growling)
Change of plans.
We split up.
Everyone, keep the stargazers busy.
(grunting)
Boo!
(shouting)
Time to meet your worst nightmare, Merliah.
Don't do this, Eris.
And who's going to stop me?
(Merliah gasps)
Gotcha. (electricity crackles)
Yes.
(tense music)
[Mirabella] Oh, no, you don't.
(yelling)
Thank you.
At your service, Your Highness.
(regal music)
You again, huh?
Catch me if you can.
(growling)
(groans)
(gasps)
No!
(growls)
(gasps)
(yelling)
(grunts)
Huh?
(gasps) Kylie!
Get off that throne.
Not a chance.
You. Huh?
(growling)
(Eris exclaims)
(twinkling)
(exclaiming)
With the Changing of the Tides
Merillia power will arise.
The royal mermaid on the throne,
her fullest mer-self now is known.
Why isn't it working?
Oh, man.
Not again.
(laughs) You have no tail.
(groans)
You can't activate the throne.
No transformation, no Merillia.
I'm the only royal family member who can do it,
so get out of my way.
Or no one gets Merillia.
[Kylie] Don't do it, Merliah.
[Both] Huh?
(upbeat music)
(grunting)
(gasps)
I wish to become a mermaid.
(enchanting music)
(exclaims) No!
(Eris screams)
(Eris sobs)
(Alistair groaning)
(exclaims)
(gasping)
(sobbing)
(gasps)
(sighs)
(growling)
That's enough.
(growling)
You know what?
This is a good look for me.
Oh, well.
(gasps) Kylie.
(tense music)
I wish to become a mermaid.
(gasping)
How'd we do?
It was a perfect 10.
It was better than that.
You saved us all.
[Merlia] Mom.
I'm so proud of you.
Both of you.
I am too actually.
Was on your side all the time, really.
Double agent, you could call me.
Working the angles,
waiting for the moment I could help the cause most.
Selena, would you care to handle this?
(gulps)
Hmm.
You are beautiful.
If you're lucky, I'll make you a pet.
I can do pets.
(barking and panting)
(groaning)
(yells)
Wait, my magic.
(exclaims)
(all gasp)
Eris, you have legs.
(exclaiming)
How fitting.
You're now trapped in your own worst nightmare.
My spell.
But then I'm like this forever?
No.
It's impossible.
No, no, no.
No!
I trust you'll take care of her?
It will be our pleasure.
We'll find a place for her
even more secure than a whirlpool.
Congratulations, Princess Merliah.
Your Highnesses.
I don't even own any shoes.
(Eris crying)
You look amazing.
Thanks.
But I guess I won't be able to surf anymore.
I'm so sorry, Merliah.
I never wanted this to happen.
I know.
But I guess you'll be the one winning the Invitational.
Merliah, come on.
I don't even wanna think about the Invitational.
It wouldn't be right.
Are you kidding?
It's exactly right.
I chose to give up my legs.
But that means it's even more important
for you to go out there and surf.
You're doing it for both of us.
You're sure?
Do we even have enough time to get there?
Count on it.
[Kylie] Let's go.
(happy music)
(crowd cheering and applauding)
Things are heating up in the finals
of the World Championship Surfing Invitational.
Time for the final heat, where we should be seeing
Kylie Morgan and Merliah Summers but the VIPs are MIA.
Unless they show up ASAP, they'll get the big DNF.
Guess I'd better go.
I wish to be human.
(enchanting music)
Here.
No.
The necklace is yours now.
Mine?
Your motives might not have been pure then
but you've proven where your heart truly lies.
We never could have saved the ocean without you, Kylie.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
[Announcer] Surfers, hit the waves.
Better run.
Are you okay?
Totally.
It's a shame, though.
I had a sweet new trick planned for today's run.
I wish I could still change back
so I could show it to Kylie.
(gasps)
Wow. (laughs)
(exciting music)
(gasps)
Mom.
Kylie, my legs.
Amazing.
I can't believe it.
But the ritual?
It did transform you into your fullest self
and I can see now that your fullest self
is both a mermaid and a human.
I can surf.
You can surf in the meet.
Come on.
Good luck.
(crowd cheering) (upbeat music)
(Hadley cheers)
[Hadley] Awesome.
She said she'd be back for the finals.
Sorry, I know you wanted to see this.
No sweat, surfette.
If she's not there, it's because Calissa needs her.
(pensive music)
[Announcer] I can't believe it.
Merliah Summers and Kylie Morgan
have just appeared on the waves.
Yes.
Oh, right on.
I knew she'd make it.
[Announcer] And don't look now,
but they're about to face one beast of a wave.
[Girls] Whoa.
Whoever tames this one's taking the meet.
You want it?
Oh, yeah.
You?
Better believe it.
May the best surfer win.
Thanks.
I will.
Yeah, good luck with that.
This is one monster wave and Summers and Morgan
both wanna wrestle it into submission.
Beautiful drop-ins by both surfers.
Merliah executes an awesome aerial barrel roll
while Kylie nails the perfect inverted backside air reverse.
(twinkling)
Whoa.
Merliah.
Wow, it's beautiful.
I'm making Merillia.
But the finals?
This is better.
I'm loving this.
Cool.
Then I'm gonna take it home.
Go for it.
But what's happening with Merliah Summers?
It's almost like she's playing in the waves.
I've never seen anything like it.
But Kylie Morgan's grabbing this heat and holding it tight.
Wait, what was that?
Wow, a wicked barrel-to-kick-flip from Kylie Morgan.
I've never seen that in competition.
- Yeah! - She's unstoppable.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we might have a new queen of the waves.
Ouch.
Liah's gotta hate that.
(laughing)
Look at her, man.
Does she look like she hates it?
(air horn blows)
And that's the heat.
Surfers, come on in.
(crowd cheering) (reporters clamoring)
Fabulous run, Kylie.
How would you like to join us
as a Wavecrest Surf Gear spokesperson?
You and Merliah would make a great team
but I'll let you enjoy your moment.
We'll talk later.
(crowd cheering)
- Yeah for Liah. - Yes!
All right.
Everything go okay, little grommet?
Better than okay.
The judges needed exactly zero seconds to call that one.
First place of the World Championship Surfing Invitational:
Kylie Morgan.
(crowd cheering)
Come get your trophy, Kylie.
Congratulations.
What are you doing?
This is your moment.
I already had my moment, when I helped you save the ocean.
It's really special being a part
of something bigger, you know?
Thank you for helping me see it.
No.
Thank you.

It might look like something
your dog threw up but it's delicious.
It's also a gentle-action jewel cleaner,
a high-performance surfboard wax
and makes a terrific facial cream.
