Aquata. You've come back.
I've been hoping for this for so long.
It's so good to see you, sis.
Out on the reef, I saw a merman.
Did he follow you? No, I was too quick.
Is he the one? Yeah, that's Zac.
Yeah, that's the land boy that fell in here.
That new mermaid, she must be a part of their pod.
Why'd she come back? I don't know.
She could just be visiting. Yeah, but why now?
You think they've called in backup?
You only saw one, right?
Yeah, I only saw one. But there could be more.
There could be a lot more. They're after the trident.
Well, it must do something pretty powerful
if they're sending reinforcements to get it back.
I know, but what?
AQUATA: He's got it.
He unlocked the chamber.
The pod was right to flee.
The last time mermen had the trident,
they tried to take over Mako.
He can't use it if he doesn't have it.
And we're going to get it back. That's your plan?
You're going to take it off him.
We have to.
You'd be surprised what we can do.
Yeah.
We've learned to go on land.
You mean...with legs?
We learned to mix with land people.
They're actually quite bearable
once you get used to the strange smell.
Look, what we're trying to say is,
we've done a lot of things that no one thought we could.
So who's to say we can't get the trident back.
And when we do, we can match his powers.
We'll get him back to normal. And the pod can come back.
Especially now you're here to help us.
Can my sister and I please have a moment?
CAM: How many mermaids in a pod?
Hundreds maybe.
How many pods are there?
No idea. It's a big ocean.
How many mermaids could they summon in an emergency?
We might be in some trouble, mate.
That trident's mine.
I have to know what it does.
Then you better hurry up and figure it out,
because if there's enough of them, they could get it back.
Santos let slip it's connected to what happened to me.
When I fell into that pool and got transformed.
Well, maybe that's where you have to take it. To the...
What's it called?
The moon pool.
Maybe that's how I can work out what the trident does.
But we've been all over Mako. We've never found it.
Only because we don't know where to look.
And now you do?
With the help of my own personal mermaid detector.
The trident glows every time it gets close.
It's gonna lead me right to them.
Oh. Oh. Fantastic.
SIRENA: You got a new moon ring.
It took a long time to convince the mermaid council
I was worthy again.
You took such a risk for me.
I had to. You're my sister.
And now you're here to help us with Zac.
Sirena, I can't stay. I have to return to the pod.
Well, when? Tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I was given special permission to return.
But only after I pleaded your case to the council.
They've reversed the decision to banish you.
What?
You're allowed to return to the pod with me.
You did that for us?
Thank you. Nixie and Lyla will be so thrilled.
It's not that simple.
I vouched for you, Sirena.
I promised the council that I'd keep an eye on you
and keep you out of trouble.
I couldn't do that for Nixie and Lyla.
They're not allowed to return.
Aquata spoke up for you at the mermaid council?
Many times. That takes a lot of courage.
She's some sister. Yeah.
Yes, she is. Well, why are you crying?
This is good news. We can return to the pod.
No, you can't.
Aquata could only vouch for me. She couldn't vouch for you.
They didn't think she could be responsible for all of us.
I'm so sorry. This is just totally unfair.
They're right.
Yeah, it's true.
LYLA: Yeah, it wouldn't be fair on Aquata.
Who'd keep Nixie out of trouble?
Yeah. And who'd wanna be responsible for Lyla?
Besides, we have to stay here and get the trident back.
And that's what I have to do as well.
I can't leave you guys to do that by yourselves.
Yes, you are. This is your big chance and you're taking it.
We know how much the pod means to you.
And I know how much it means to you too.
What about Aquata?
She put herself on the line for you, Sirena.
LYLA: You can't let her down.
You have to do this, Sirena.
What about you?
What about dealing with Zac?
You know, there's still two against one. We'll be fine.
I mean, probably do a lot better without you.
I can't.
Yes, you can.
You have to do this, Sirena.
What about David? What am I gonna tell him?
Nothing. You just-- You go.
Exactly. Avoid any questions.
Yeah, we'll figure something out and explain it later.
I can't say goodbye. Yes, you can.
You're going to. We know how you feel about leaving us.
We'd feel the same way too.
But this is your big chance.
We're not gonna let you miss it.
[SOBS]
[♪♪♪]
Yes!
[POP MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY OVER SPEAKERS]
Hey.
Great news. I got you some lights for tomorrow night's gig.
A couple of spotlights from a friend. It'll be cool.
I don't think I can do it.
Hey, don't worry. They're only small.
Just for a bit of atmosphere.
I don't mean the lights, I mean the gig.
Something's come up.
My sister's visiting.
Great. Bring her along.
It's not really her kind of thing.
Do you think you could make it for a couple of hours or so?
I've really been looking forward to it.
Yeah. I'll try.
Cool.
I'll see you then.
Hey, David.
Thank you.
What for?
Believing in me.
Well, of course.
♪ She is all ♪
♪ He ever wanted ♪
ZAC: There you are. Zac?
What are you doing here? How did you get in?
Same way you did.
I've been expecting you.
Handy thing, this.
Uh-uh. I wouldn't do that.
Ah. Nice place.
So this is where I got transformed.
This is our place. Get out.
Not until I get answers.
I know this is connected to here somehow.
What?
We don't know what you're talking about.
Yes, you do. Why else would you and your friends
be ganging up on me to get this back?
What other friends? I know about your plan.
I saw your reinforcements.
Do you mean Aquata? She's just Sirena's sister.
She's here to take her back to the pod.
Now you know, you can get out.
Not until you level with me.
Santos told me there's a connection.
She what? She wouldn't.
So you do know more.
Get out, right now.
Not until you tell me everything.
It's not going to happen.
Then I'm taking over the moon pool.
I'll figure it out for myself.
This place is ours. We're not going anywhere.
You better be gone by the time I get back tomorrow.
CAM: Oh, you did the right thing, man.
You drew a line in the sand.
There could've been hundreds here.
Yeah.
The whole pod could've come back.
Mako's about to become a mermaid-free zone.
Oh, man, I hope they are still there when we get there.
Oh, I can't wait.
I can't believe we've got our own island.
SIRENA: We've got no choice.
Nixie and Lyla have to come with us now.
The council won't allow it.
Can't you make them listen, like you did for me?
It won't work, Sirena.
What are they gonna do? Where are they gonna go?
We'll be fine.
Lyla's right. We'll manage.
But you can't stay here.
Not now a merman has invaded the moon pool with the trident.
We'll stay at Rita's.
You mean live on land?
It works for her. She won't mind.
Who's this Rita?
A mermaid who was forced to leave the pod.
You've been associating with her?
She helped us.
We wouldn't have coped on land without her.
I think that's one more good reason that you're leaving.
I'm not going. Yes, you are.
We'll be fine at Rita's.
NIXIE: We will find our way back to the pod someday.
This is your chance to be with your sister.
We want you to take it.
We'll leave at first light tomorrow.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE: Say hi to everyone for us.
SIRENA: I will.
Take care of yourself. You too.
And don't fight.
Then you're just taking the fun out of it.
[♪♪♪]
I don't wanna go.
I don't wanna leave you. It'll be okay.
SIRENA: How will I know?
We'll be able to get messages to each other, won't we?
I'll find a way. We know you will.
Sirena, we have to go.
[SOBS]
[SNIFFLES]
[♪♪♪]
Let's just get started.
I'm not staying at Rita's.
We don't have a choice. I don't care.
This is the most sacred place there is for mermaids.
I'm not abandoning it.
Zac knows about it now. It's not safe anymore.
If he brought the trident here on a full moon--
He's not going to.
We can't let him.
[♪♪♪]
You're right.
So right.
We're not going anywhere without a fight.
Come on.
Time to take over Mako.
I'll go scope it out.
Oh, they won't still be there.
Not after yesterday. They won't have the guts to face us.
[♪♪♪]
LYLA: Zac. Get out here.
Morning.
I hear you're moving out today.
We'd love to help, but we're too busy taking over Mako.
We're not here to talk to you. Where is he?
What do you want?
We're not giving up the moon pool.
It belongs to us.
Really? Yeah, really.
We're not gonna get bullied, not by you, not by anyone.
You're doing the right thing.
It doesn't feel like it.
Just wait until you get to your new home in the South Pacific.
The water over there is always so warm,
and it's filled with wonderful sea creatures.
Doesn't the pod ever miss Mako?
We did at first.
But the mermaids there welcomed us and made us feel at home.
They know the most amazing songs.
I can't wait to sing them with you.
I have missed that.
Come on. We've got a long way to go.
[♪♪♪]
This is your last chance to tell me the truth about this.
[♪♪♪]
Go on, Zac.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE: It's too strong. LYLA: Keep going.
[♪♪♪]
You've got them.
You're wasting your time. Mako belongs to me now,
and there's nothing the two of you can do about it.
There are three of us, remember?
Sirena.
[♪♪♪]
Uh, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, nice timing.
I wasn't gonna let you guys have all the fun.
[♪♪♪]
Okay, we need a plan.
We had one and I blew it. So we come up with a new one.
Get the trident back and try again.
Just like that?
You know their secret place now. Just go get it.
As if they'd keep it in the moon pool.
Lyla's too smart for that.
Forget it.
[SIGHS]
[GASPS]
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm all right.
Where's the trident? It's hidden.
Where Zac won't find it.
Now the trident's safe, you're fine to go back with Aquata.
You're not coming with me, are you?
No, I'm not.
Sirena. This is your chance to go home.
No, it's not. I am home.
I appreciate what you did,
standing up for me with the mermaid council.
But it's our fault the pod had to leave.
We have to make this right.
We have to make it safe for mermaids
and prove we're worthy of our moon rings.
You don't need to prove anything, any of you.
My little sister's a grown-up mermaid, and I'm very proud.
I'm gonna miss you again.
I'm gonna miss you too.
But we'll get to sing together again someday.
I'm going to make sure the whole pod knows
that Mako isn't lost forever.
Because there are three brave mermaids
who will never let the moon pool go.
[♪♪♪]
LYLA: You're gonna be okay.
So you were right about not telling David you were going.
He's probably wondering where you are.
[TUNING]
You made it.
I said I'd try.
What about your sister?
She had to go.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Look, if you don't wanna sing, I'd totally understand.
No, I really want to.
Okay.
