ZAC:



You got the gear?

CAM:

Why'd you think

I'd meet you here?

It's not for a picnic.

You sure this is gonna work?

Trust me.

It's a full moon tonight.

CAM:

You know what the full moon

does to you, you lose the plot.

How's this gonna work

if you're out of it?

I almost handled it last time.

Oh, really?

Yeah. I'm getting better

with it every full moon.

It won't be a problem tonight.

That's good to hear,

man.

If you blow it, you know

who's gonna get the trident.

You seriously think I'd let

three mermaids beat me to it?

The more they try to stop me

getting it,

the more I'm gonna make sure

they can't.

Makes you wonder

what's so special about it.

They're so desperate

to keep you away.

That's exactly why I'm going

to find out what it does.

And tonight,

I'm going to.

Wow.

I don't actually think

that's gonna stop Zac

from getting

the trident though.

You're just throwing him around

in the air like some wet kelp.

Hey,

it's harder than it looks.

NIXIE:

If we let him get close

to the trident

and he actually gets

it this time

then we could seriously

be in so much trouble.

I know, I know.

Rita's given us

all these warnings.

Anything could happen.

Maybe it'll be easier

to stop him than we think.

How do you figure that?

Well,

he'll be under the moon spell.

He won't be in control

of what he's doing.

LYLA:

He's still gonna be

after the trident.

He almost got it last time.

I don't think he's gonna be

so easy to stop this time.

[♪♪♪]

I thought we were worried

about the trident killing Zac,

not you.

I'll tone that down.

At least I know

I can stop him now.

I hope.

Two honey and ginseng shakes,

with triple protein booster.

You guys getting ready

for a marathon or something?

ZAC:

Kind of, yeah.

I reckon it's gonna be

a big night.

You bet. The Halloween party

tonight is going to be wild.

Wait until you see my costume.

You have remembered to get one,

haven't you?

It's fancy dress,

remember?

Don't worry,

it's all taken care of.

Okay.

Except how you're going to be

in two places at once.

Or is that some sort of

mer-dude trick?

I promised Evie I'd go

to the party.

I can't let her down.

So why'd we waste all

that time on Mako

if you can't

even get there tonight?

I figured out a way

to do both.

At least I hope I have.

She's been looking forward

to this night for weeks.

You slip away,

how is she not gonna notice?

If I'm fast enough,

it's possible.

Just.

LYLA:

What are they doing

to the place?

Oh, it's the Halloween party,

remember?

I told you.

David wanted me to sing for it.

Wait,

what's Halloween?

It's got something

to do with trick or treat.

They wear scary costumes

and eat candy.

It's supposed to be fun.

Trick or treat!

[ALL GASP]

Hey, it's only me.

I don't suppose you've changed

your mind about tonight?

No. Sorry,

I'm still busy.

ZAC:

You coming tonight?

I didn't think Halloween

would be your thing.

Oh, I didn't think

it'd be yours, either.

Don't you have another party

to go to? On Mako?

I didn't know there was one

out there.

You heard about that?

No.

I think you've got

that wrong.

Come on, Zac,

it's a full moon.

We know exactly

what you're going to do.

Yeah,

I'm gonna be here partying

with all the other witches

and ghosts.

Boo!

[LAUGHS]

Whatever you're planning,

it's not gonna work.

I'm just gonna have the best

night of my life, that's all.

CAM:

Okay,

I still don't get this.

Even if you slip off to Mako

without Evie noticing,

your fishy friends will.

They're gonna have eyes

on you the whole time.

Good.

I want them to.

He's up to something.

Well, yeah,

but what?

He can't really be going

to this party, can he?

It doesn't make any sense.

We better check it out

just in case he is.

SIRENA:

I know it's late notice,

and you've probably arranged

something else,

but the thing is,

what we were gonna do

tonight has changed and--

What she's trying to say is that

she can sing for you after all.

That's fantastic.

I hired a band,

but they'll sound great

backing you.

Don't worry about the songs,

you'll learn them in no time,

I know you will.

Carly, can you cover here?

I have to rehearse with Sirena.

So now I have to wait tables

all day as well as tonight?

NIXIE:

No, we can.

Yeah, we can do your job

for you tonight.

We will?

You'd do that for me?

That's so sweet.

Well, yeah, sure.

I mean, Sirena's singing

so we should

probably help out too.

Well,

sounds good to me.

Awesome, thanks.

Um, are you crazy?

Um, no. Have you got a better

plan to stick close to Zac?

What? It's not like he's gonna

be dancing with us all night.

Now we can stick

with him the whole time

and he can't do anything

about it.

When those moon rays hit him,

he's gonna head straight

to Mako.

We should be staking

out his place, not the party.

Lyla, he has a plan

to stop us from following him

and the only way to find out

what that is is to go

to the party.

Okay,

so we stake out both places.

Then whatever happens,

we'll be ready.

Yep.

I can't see Zac.

No, he'll be here soon.

And you watch Zac.

As soon as he leaves, we follow.

If he hasn't shown up

by moonrise,

just bail and then

go straight to Mako.

Nixie,

I really appreciate this.

If you need to know

where anything is...

I will let you know

as soon as possible.

What are you?

A pumpkin, of course.

Evie, where's Zac?

He's meeting me here.

Why?

I...

Just I know how much

he loves these,

didn't want him to miss out.

You'll need to pass serviettes

around with those.

And don't forget

the dipping sauce.

It's starting to get busy.

Okay, Nixie,

hit them with the punch.

Okay.

It's not a problem.

DAVID:

Are you sure you're gonna

be okay with this?

Yeah, yeah, David.

I'm fine. Obviously.

ZAC:

What can you see?

CAM:

The moon still isn't up yet.

Thirty seconds till it rises.

[♪♪♪]

You sure you don't want

to shut these blinds?

I'm cool. I can handle it

this time, I told you.

Okay.

But if you do go wacko again,

I'm not sure I can pull off

the rest of this plan by myself.

Look,

I'll be fine, don't worry.

I still don't know

if you can pull this off.

I have to.

[SIGHS]

How long now?

CAM:

Ten seconds.

[♪♪♪]

Any second.

Now.

[♪♪♪]

Zac?

Zac?

[♪♪♪]

Zac?

Zac? Zac?

Oh, no, I knew it.

Zac?

You okay, mate?

Zac?

Stop with the hand signals,

all right? I'm okay.

I told you.

I've learned how to deal with

the full moon by now, didn't I?

[SIGHS]

Time to go.

We've got

a party to get to.

Don't want to be late.

[POP MUSIC

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[ALL CHATTERING]

I still

haven't seen Zac.

Neither have I.

I hardly get a chance to look.

I take two steps

and all the food is gone.

The moon's up. Maybe he's gone

straight to Mako.

I'm bailing.

CAM & ZAC:

Trick or treat! Ha-ha-ha!

Okay, you were right,

he showed up.

He's not under

a moon spell, either.

He's getting better at this.

Now I am really worried

what his plan is.

So we just don't leave

his side.

Waitressing, huh?

Two glasses of punch, thanks.

Oh, sure,

I'll bring them to you.

Where are you gonna be?

Oh, uh, not sure.

I could be anywhere.

I love your costume.

Nice trident.

Yeah, why would I want yours

when I already have one?

And I'm not sure if your

costume actually suits you.

I never really picked you

as the waitressing type.

Let me know

if you need anything.

I'll be keeping a look out

for you.

And a smile would be nice.

I'd hate to have

[ALL CHEERING]

All right, everybody, let's hear

it for Sirena. Give it up.

[ALL CHEER]

What's happening?

Why hasn't he left?

LYLA:

He's up to something.

I just don't buy

that he won't go to Mako.

He's leaving it late.

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

This is it.

He's going now.

Hey.

Feel like a little bit

of a night stroll, huh?

Mind if I go to the bathroom?

[♪♪♪]

[DANCE MUSIC

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

This isn't waitressing,

this is stalking.

Well, I told you

I'd keep a look out for you.

So have you got everything

you want for tonight?

Come to think of it, no,

not really.

Oh.

We could do with

more soap in there, thanks.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

LYLA:

Where is he?

Can you see him?

NIXIE: He's gone.

[COUGHING]

DAVID:

What's happening?

Are you okay, Sirena?

I'm sorry, my throat's sore.

I just need some air.

SIRENA:

Let's get him.

[♪♪♪]

NIXIE:

He scammed us.

Not yet he hasn't.

[♪♪♪]

NIXIE: There he is!

SIRENA: Stop him!

What's he doing?

The land entrance is that way.

Who cares?

Just don't lose him.

[DANCE MUSIC

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Have you seen Zac?

No. Have you seen Sirena?

Or her friends?

So much for helping out.

She went outside

for some fresh air,

but I can't find her anywhere.

I hope she's all right.

[♪♪♪]

I can see him!

Stop him!

NIXIE: Sirena, stop!

[GASPS]

Very funny,

Zac.

Go on.

Seriously,

go after him.

NIXIE:

There he is.

LYLA:

Come on, let's get him.

Don't kill him,

just stop him.

Ow!

[LAUGHS]

Trick or treat.

[LAUGHING]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Quick.

Hurry!

No!

We're too late.

[DANCE MUSIC

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

NIXIE:

How did he get here?

SIRENA:

It's like he never left.

Why would Cam go through

all that trouble

just to trick us on Mako?

Well, maybe Zac didn't get

the trident.

Maybe he was too late,

like us.

I wish I could

believe that.

Sirena,

are you okay?

I've been looking

everywhere for you.

Yeah,

a bit better.

Feeling up to singing

another song?

Sure.

Of course.

I know what you've done.

What are you

talking about?

Your little nighttime dip

in the ocean.

I haven't been swimming,

I haven't been anywhere.

Yeah, except to help

pick up the desserts.

Which was meant

to be your job.

Where's Cam?

He went home sick.

He ate too much.

Maybe you shouldn't have kept

giving him all that greasy food.

I know you're lying.

It doesn't end here,

Zac.

Of course it does.

After tonight,

no one's gonna hire you

as waitresses ever again.

CARLY:

Good. You're

finally here.

All yours.

Hey, Cam, it's me.

How'd you go?

Relax.

It's all good.

Mission accomplished.
