Cam is angry with Zac for locking the trident back up. Rita invites Zac to come over for training with the girls. Nixie isn't happy when he arrives. She doesn't trust him and is suspicious of his loyalties. Rita and the girls inform Zac of their plan to return him to a normal human but he wishes to remain a merman. As Lyla and Zac grow closer, Nixie becomes more upset, especially since Sirena and David have become close. Cam approaches Nixie about him not wanting Zac to be a merman either. Lyla reveals her wish for Zac to join the pod to Rita, Nixie, and Sirena but they are unsure. Nixie notifies Cam of her interest in teaming up with him to return Zac to normal but can she trust him?

Hey, want to grab
something to eat?
I'll be all right.
What's the matter? You've hardly
spoken to me all morning.
You could have owned that reef,
that whole island.
Now, I helped you
get the trident back,
and what did you do?
Locked it up
in that cave again.
Because it's dangerous.
You saw what it did to Lyla.
Only because she tried
to take it off you.
Zac, they don't
want you to have it.
But again, what do you do?
You roll over and do exactly
what they tell you to do.
Whatever. Forget it.
Why would you
even listen to them?
You know you can't trust them.
Get out of my way.
I'm telling you,
they're making a fool of you.
And I'm telling you,
get out of my way.
They're using you!
You two!
[♪♪♪]
What is going on?
I tripped.
Cam?
Me too.
RITA:
Maybe a stint of detention
will improve your balance.
Go and get some lunch
and keep your hands to yourself.
Yes, miss.
Let's talk.
I take it that had something
to do with the trident.
It's not important.
I can handle it.
You know,
not everyone is gonna agree
with your decision
to put it back,
but you did do
the right thing.
It can't have been easy.
I didn't have
a lot of choice.
Well, that's just it.
You did do it
and we appreciate that.
Ever since this
whole business started,
ever since you
fell into the Moon Pool,
nothing's been easy for you,
has it?
[SCOFFS]
No.
It's like I've got a foot
in two different worlds.
One here on land
and the other out at sea.
Trust me, I understand.
It hasn't been easy
for the girls either.
I train them at home.
Why don't you
join us tomorrow morning?
Now that the trident's put back,
next full moon,
all we have to do
is get Zac back here in the pool
and we'll be right.
All we've got to do?
Really?
That's how he got his powers.
That's how we remove them.
It makes
perfect sense to me.
He goes back
to being a normal guy,
Aquata and the pod
can finally return
and everything goes back
to the way it was.
Dream on, Sirena.
Do you really think
he'll be that helpful?
[♪♪♪]
What's going on
between you and Zac?
Nothing.
Well, that's what he said.
I didn't believe him either.
That's very untrusting,
Evie.
Being suspicious
is not a good look.
Neither is
beating up your best friend.
Nobody was
beating anybody up.
Okay.
It was a disagreement.
About what?
Look, you two have been
besties your whole lives.
What could he possibly have done
to make you this angry?
Don't know.
You'll have to ask him.
He won't talk about
something like this.
And neither can I.
SIRENA:
Hey, Rita, we've got
everything set up for you.
RITA:
That's great. Um...
We have a visitor.
What?
Come in.
Zac.
Um, what's he doing here?
Zac's here
because I invited him.
He's caught between
two worlds.
It's making things
really difficult for him.
He wants to learn
more about what happened.
Problem is,
mermaids don't really
know that much
about mermen.
Why not?
Probably because
we're all too busy escaping you.
Some mermen have tried
to destroy us in the past.
According to legend,
it's been that way
ever since there was a war
between us long ago.
Oh, that's right,
a war between us.
Long ago.
Didn't seem that long ago
when he had a trident on us.
He put it back.
What else do you want him to do?
You know, you're the reason
why our pod left Mako.
Mermaids wouldn't dare
be around a merman.
I can't just
pack up and move.
NIXIE:
You don't have to.
All you have to do
is stop being a merman.
Go back to your world
and we will go back to ours.
How?
It may be possible
to reverse
what happened to you.
LYLA:
We think that
if you're in the Moon Pool
during the full moon
it might reverse what happened.
ZAC:
Ah. I gave up the trident.
I didn't expect to have to
give up my powers as well.
I knew it.
Nixie, this is a huge thing
we're asking of him.
They're not his powers, okay?
They're ours.
He got them by accident.
We told him what he had to do,
he said he won't.
LYLA:
Give him the chance
to think about it.
Yeah.
A chance to hang around us
so he knows exactly
how to attack us later.
Nixie, that's enough.
We need to talk.
What is wrong with you?
There's nothing
wrong with me.
You're the one
he knocked unconscious.
Or do you not remember?
Yeah. Yeah, I remember.
I also remember that
he was the one who saved me.
That's right. He didn't
have to do that.
He didn't have to zap her
in the first place.
He didn't have to make himself
our enemy, but he did.
He also didn't have to put
the trident back, but he did.
Yeah, right where he can get it
straight back next full moon.
I don't think he'd do that.
Based on what?
Based on he said he won't,
and I trust him.
I trust him too.
You're both nuts.
He came here today. Why would he
do that if he was fighting us?
Exactly.
He can still turn against us.
He won't.
He's not our enemy.
And he's not our friend, either.
He's not to be trusted.
You want to sell us out,
that's up to you.
But I'm not
being a part of this.
Nixie.
Nixie, don't.
I'm really sorry, Zac. We'll
work on her. She'll come around.
No, she won't.
This wasn't a good idea.
I'd better go.
I really appreciate
what you tried to do.
This can still work.
We can still help you.
Forget it.
Zac, please.
Didn't take you long
to get Zac to come around.
What?
Getting him
to give up the trident.
You've got him
right where you want him.
Better make space
in that Moon Pool.
He's not gonna be
hanging around here much longer.
He'll be off swimming.
Like you.
Get real, Cam.
We don't want him
in the Moon Pool.
We don't want him
being anything like us.
Or I don't.
Oh, come on, you couldn't
wait to get him on your side.
We don't want him on our side.
We want him on your side.
All walking,
all land-dwelling.
So you'd be happy
if he wasn't a merman?
Wow, you're a quick one.
[CHUCKLES]
And what about the others?
Do they agree?
If they had any sense in them,
they would.
That's why we're here,
you know.
To bring him back to normal,
so the pod can come back.
But no, they're welcoming him.
I don't want him
to be a merman either.
Since when?
You wanted him
to bring the trident back.
So he could
protect himself.
He used to be
a good friend of mine. Now...
I just want things
back the way they were
before he fell in that pool.
Sounds like
we want
exactly the same thing.

Hey. Zac.
I don't need your help,
Lyla.
All this time, I've had to
work it all out by myself.
I figured out my powers and--
You don't understand.
Being a merman, it's not
just about your powers.
There is so much more.
How do you feel when
you're swimming out there?
I don't know.
Yeah, you do.
Tell me.
It just feels right.
I feel free.
Completely free.
No homework,
no parents.
It's just me and the ocean.
Exactly.
Have you ever
just stopped swimming
and hung there
in the deep blue,
just closed your eyes and...
felt that connection?
I don't know, maybe.
You haven't felt it.

[WATER SPLASHES]
ZAC:
That was so totally awesome.
I know. And guess what.
It gets better. Sometimes
they let me swim with them.
We can do that
next time if you like.
Seriously?
They'll let us near them?
We're not separate to the ocean.
We're part of it.
We can sense things,
like the whispers
in the currents and tides
and listening
to sea creatures.
Just by looking we can tell
if a shark's friendly or not.
Or whether a dolphin
will help us find our way.
I never
thought of it like that.
Am I really
the reason your pod left?
Not you personally.
But the fact
you're a merman, yeah.
Mermaids fear them more than
anything else in the ocean.
And there was really a war
between them?
That trident you found,
that was the mermen's
greatest weapon.
The mermaids
were powerless against it.
How did they survive?
Because of one merman.
He knew the war was wrong
so he took the trident
and locked it away in a chamber
where it could never be found.
Till I did.
Then I used it against you.
Until you realized
what you were doing.
Then you locked it away again.
Just like he did.
I guess I did.
I never meant to cause
a war between us.
There isn't between us.
Nixie.
Wait.
[♪♪♪]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Where'd you go?
Huh?
You're still upset.
Well, what did you expect?
I mean, you're making
a huge mistake.
Sirena.
Look,
I've got two more songs
and then I promise
we'll talk about this. Okay?

Oh, I'm sorry, are you saying

Wouldn't hurt.
Thank you.
Hey. You okay?
Where are you going?
Wherever.
Doesn't matter.
Don't worry about it.
I'll walk you.
I don't need you
to walk me.
Okay.
You don't mind if I walk in the
same sort of direction, do you?
You know,
you can trust me now.
You and I
are on the same page.
You know, the first time
you showed up,
I thought you were pretty.
NIXIE:
Yeah, okay, right.
Honestly.
And now you've seen me
with a tail.
I still think so.
I don't belong here.
I'm sorry I came.
I'm not.
You know,
I meant what I said earlier.
What?
Zac.
He doesn't belong
in your world.
I want him back to normal.
Just as much as you do.
So?
So we could always
work together and fix him.
Think about it.
[♪♪♪]
Is it safe for me to go home
yet, or is he still there?
He's gone back to his place.
Oh, yeah.
Till next time.
What's going on?
Oh, nothing.
Lyla took Zac to see
our Moon Pool.
What?
He has the right
to see our world.
You know, while you were off
just revealing all our secrets,
I actually got splashed.
At the cafe.
Yeah, where were you to help me?
I didn't know.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yeah, right.
I didn't know either, Nixie.
LYLA:
I wish I were there
to help you,
but I'm not sorry
that I spent time with Zac.
He's just like us.
He wants to learn about
the ocean,
he wants to know about
our connection.
Yeah, so he can
use it against us.
No, so he can be one of us.
Wait. One of us?
I want him to join our pod.
What?
Lyla.
Are you kidding me right now?
Well, mermaids have made
an alliance
with a merman in the past.
Yes, but that was
a thousand years ago.
When a merman locked the trident
away on Mako, just like Zac did.
Seriously?
You really want us
to plead his case
to the mermaid council?
How?
We're still banished.
We can at least try.
They are never
going to trust a merman.
They have in the past.
So they will again.
Then there's no reason
to change him back.
He can stay as a merman,
it'll be safe for the pod
to return to Mako.
They'll never agree to that.
Oh, why not?
I can tell you why not.
Because you're thinking
about your heart
and not thinking
with your head.
I am not.
Yes, actually, you are.
Are you listening to yourself?
We can do this.
We can make this work.
LYLA:
Remember what you said
to Rita yesterday?
ZAC:
Me turning up
wasn't a good idea?
LYLA:
She meant what she said.
She wants to help you.
You're welcome
at her home anytime.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Sirena.
You have to choose.
Why?
Because what
Lyla wants to do is crazy.
We can't let this
go any further.
We have to stop her.
You should
just start the lesson.
Well, I'd rather wait
till Nixie's here.
That's probably
not gonna happen.
She doesn't want to be
a part of our class anymore.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Cam.
What is it?
I need to know
if you and me
are still working together.
To fix Zac.
Yeah. Totally.
I want to help him.
But I want to help
you guys too.
You know,
you can trust me, Nixie.
Plus...
I think you and I
make a pretty good team.
Okay, let's do it.
You and me.
I'll-- I'll be in touch.
Great.

can finally return

But I'm not

Nixie.
Nixie, don't.
I'm really sorry, Zac. We'll
work on her. She'll come around.
No, she won't.
This wasn't a good idea.
I'd better go.
I really appreciate
what you tried to do.
This can still work.
We can still help you.
Forget it.
Zac, please.
Didn't take you long

Getting him
to give up the trident.
You've got him
right where you want him.
Better make space

He used to be
a good friend of mine. Now...
I just want things
back the way they were
before he fell in that pool.
Sounds like
we want
exactly the same thing.

Being a merman, it's not

There is so much more.
How do you feel when

I don't know.
Yeah, you do.

felt that connection?
I don't know, maybe.
You haven't felt it.

[WATER SPLASHES]
ZAC:
That was so totally awesome.
I know. And guess what.
It gets better. Sometimes
they let me swim with them.
We can do that
next time if you like.
Seriously?
They'll let us near them?
We're not separate to the ocean.
We're part of it.
We can sense things,
like the whispers
in the currents and tides
and listening
to sea creatures.
Just by looking we can tell
if a shark's friendly or not.
Or whether a dolphin
will help us find our way.
I never
thought of it like that.
Am I really
the reason your pod left?
Not you personally.
But the fact
you're a merman, yeah.
Mermaids fear them more than
anything else in the ocean.
And there was really a war
between them?
That trident you found,
that was the mermen's
greatest weapon.
The mermaids
were powerless against it.
How did they survive?
Because of one merman.
He knew the war was wrong
so he took the trident
and locked it away in a chamber
where it could never be found.
Till I did.
Then I used it against you.
Until you realized
what you were doing.
Then you locked it away again.
Just like he did.
I guess I did.
I never meant to cause
a war between us.
There isn't between us.
Nixie.
Wait.
[♪♪♪]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Where'd you go?
Huh?
You're still upset.
Well, what did you expect?
I mean, you're making
a huge mistake.
Sirena.
Look,
I've got two more songs
and then I promise
we'll talk about this. Okay?

What are you two
doing in there?
You wouldn't believe me
if I told you.
Didn't need you
to cover for me.
Oh, well, I can't resist
a fish-girl in distress.
Oh, I'm sorry, are you saying
you want me to thank you?
Wouldn't hurt.
Thank you.
Hey. You okay?
Where are you going?
Wherever.
Doesn't matter.
Don't worry about it.
I'll walk you.
I don't need you
to walk me.
Okay.
You don't mind if I walk in the
same sort of direction, do you?
You know,
you can trust me now.
You and I
are on the same page.
You know, the first time
you showed up,
I thought you were pretty.
NIXIE:
Yeah, okay, right.
Honestly.
And now you've seen me
with a tail.
I still think so.
I don't belong here.
I'm sorry I came.
I'm not.
You know,
I meant what I said earlier.
What?
Zac.
He doesn't belong
in your world.
I want him back to normal.
Just as much as you do.
So?
So we could always
work together and fix him.
Think about it.
[♪♪♪]
Is it safe for me to go home
yet, or is he still there?
He's gone back to his place.
Oh, yeah.
Till next time.
What's going on?
Oh, nothing.
Lyla took Zac to see
our Moon Pool.
What?
He has the right
to see our world.
You know, while you were off
just revealing all our secrets,
I actually got splashed.
At the cafe.
Yeah, where were you to help me?
I didn't know.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yeah, right.
I didn't know either, Nixie.
LYLA:
I wish I were there
to help you,
but I'm not sorry
that I spent time with Zac.
He's just like us.
He wants to learn about
the ocean,
he wants to know about
our connection.
Yeah, so he can
use it against us.
No, so he can be one of us.
Wait. One of us?
I want him to join our pod.
What?
Lyla.
Are you kidding me right now?
Well, mermaids have made
an alliance
with a merman in the past.
Yes, but that was
a thousand years ago.
When a merman locked the trident
away on Mako, just like Zac did.
Seriously?
You really want us
to plead his case
to the mermaid council?
How?
We're still banished.
We can at least try.
They are never
going to trust a merman.
They have in the past.
So they will again.
Then there's no reason
to change him back.
He can stay as a merman,
it'll be safe for the pod
to return to Mako.
They'll never agree to that.
Oh, why not?
I can tell you why not.
Because you're thinking
about your heart
and not thinking
with your head.
I am not.
Yes, actually, you are.
Are you listening to yourself?
We can do this.
We can make this work.
LYLA:
Remember what you said
to Rita yesterday?
ZAC:
Me turning up
wasn't a good idea?
LYLA:
She meant what she said.
She wants to help you.
You're welcome
at her home anytime.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Sirena.
You have to choose.
Why?
Because what
Lyla wants to do is crazy.
We can't let this
go any further.
We have to stop her.
You should
just start the lesson.
Well, I'd rather wait
till Nixie's here.
That's probably
not gonna happen.
She doesn't want to be
a part of our class anymore.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Cam.
What is it?
I need to know
if you and me
are still working together.
To fix Zac.
Yeah. Totally.
I want to help him.
But I want to help
you guys too.
You know,
you can trust me, Nixie.
Plus...
I think you and I
make a pretty good team.
Okay, let's do it.
You and me.
I'll-- I'll be in touch.
Great.
