CARLY: Hey, Cam.
CAM: Carly, great.
I need a kilo of tuna,
a kilo of salmon,
as much shrimp as
you've got.
What's the catch of the day?
I think it's swordfish.
Throw in some of that too.
While you're at it, some flake.
And I need it all delivered.
Are you having a party
or something?
No.
Suddenly got a bit of a taste
for it.
Be careful. You've been
hanging around Zac too long.
Nixie. Hey, are you hungry?
I've just placed
a delivery order--
Is it safe?
Of course.
I'll show you.
[♪♪♪]
[KEYS JANGLE]
[UNLOCKS LOCKER]
Okay.
And you're sure
Zac doesn't know it's here?
Beyond sure.
He wouldn't think to look here.
And you're not gonna tell him?
Not a chance.
You have my word.
Thank you so much, Cam.
Then this is it.
Zac's gonna be
back to normal,
and we can finally return
to the pod.
This could never have happened
without you.
What can I say?
I'm a rare find.
You know,
Zac might not be too happy
with being turned back
into a normal guy. Right?
We're not planning
on giving him a choice.
Right?
[♪♪♪]
RITA:
Hey, girls.
SIRENA:
Rita, there's something
we wanna ask you.
Anything.
We want you to come with us
tonight.
Back to the pod,
be a real mermaid again.
After all,
you've given us a lot of help.
I'm sure the council
would let you back.
No.
Thank you, but no.
Look, you girls belong
with the pod,
but Mako is not my home
anymore.
My life's here now.
But it's not gonna be the same
here without you.
[♪♪♪]
I can't believe you
lied to me.
And for such a long time.
I know.
That was wrong.
But I wanted to tell you
so many times.
I never wanted to lie
to you.
I was trying to protect you.
And them.
Yeah. And them.
This is all
their fault.
No, it's not.
Why are you defending them?
I'm not. I'm just...
The whole thing was an accident.
Wrong place, wrong time.
It's not their fault.
I don't believe that.
And I can't make you.
It's the truth.
Listen.
Evie...
Telling anyone
would just be bad news
for me, as well as for them.
You know that.
If you're gonna say something,
could you just
wait until tomorrow?
Tonight's a full moon.
If it's not all back to normal
by tomorrow,
then go ahead,
shout it from the rooftops.
But until then,
could you
keep it quiet?
Please?
Okay.
Fine.
I won't say anything
until tomorrow.
Thanks.
CAM:
Hi, Evie.
I know you're mad at me.
Understatement.
I can explain.
Really?
Then go ahead, Cam,
explain.
Explain why you ganged up on me
with Nixie.
Explain why you helped
steal the Trident from me.
Explain how my so-called
best friend of 15 years
could just turn on me
with no warning.
I deserve that.
But we had to do
something.
We thought
the Trident was controlling you.
You told me about
the dreams you're having.
We were trying to help.
Evie knows all about me,
thanks to you.
I'm sorry, man.
Evie was collateral damage.
I didn't want her
to get involved,
but I didn't have
any choice.
I know you know that.
She did have a right
to know.
And I did feel bad
keeping it from her.
So...
Are you really gonna do it?
Give it all up?
Yeah, I am.
After tonight,
I'm gonna be a normal guy.
No scales, no tail.
It's time to get back
to my old life.
It's over.
NIXIE:
The Trident is safe,
I made absolutely sure of it.
LYLA:
The Trident was safe with Zac.
You didn't need to interfere.
Well, I don't regret
anything.
Then it's real.
We're leaving.
LYLA:
We're not really leaving.
We're going home
to the pod.
No more land people.
LYLA:
No more legs.
Yes, but that's if Zac
keeps his word.
Zac will keep his word.
It's not gonna be easy
for him.
It'll be good to get back
to the pod,
and I'm sure, in time,
we'll forget the things
we've left behind.
RITA:
Zac's here.
I spoke to Evie. She agreed
to keep quiet until tomorrow.
So we're all set.
Well,
that's assuming everyone
will keep to their side
of the deal.
Everyone will.
I'll be back at moonrise.
How are you feeling,
Sirena?
Ready for
tonight?
As ready as I'll ever be.
So you've said your goodbyes,
then?
Not exactly.
You haven't said goodbye
to David?
I don't wanna hurt him.
RITA:
I know it's hard.
I had to choose
between two worlds too.
But sometimes the things
we don't do
hurt more than
the things we do.
DAVID:
Sirena, hey.
I have to tell you
something.
Okay.
Whatever it is,
it can't be as bad as you think.
Come on, out with it.
I'm going away.
Away?
A long way away.
I'm guessing this isn't
just a weekend thing.
No.
I won't be back.
Isn't this a bit sudden?
It's been a long time coming,
but I guess I just really
wasn't prepared.
I know the feeling.
I'm so sorry, David.
I can't explain,
but I should have warned you
that this might happen.
I really didn't wanna
believe it.
We can stay in touch.
There's always
the Internet and phones.
We can write and talk.
No, we can't.
I don't understand.
After today, we're never
gonna see each other.
Goodbye, David.
Sirena, wait!
SIRENA:
Let's go.
[♪♪♪]
We need to talk.
Sirena...
Will you be okay if I
leave you alone for a minute?
Those mermaids have got Zac
completely fooled.
Tell me something
I don't know.
The sooner he gets turned back
into normal Zac, the better.
No, that's it.
They're not gonna turn him back
into a normal guy.
Not tonight, not ever.
But they have to!
No, it's not gonna happen.
They want him for
their pod.
Tonight is a full moon.
They're gonna turn Zac into
a merman forever.
We have to do something.
Yeah. We do. Come on.
LYLA:
Cam tricked you, Nixie.
He's scheming behind our backs.
He has been this whole time.
You can't trust him.
You're wrong.
Nixie, you have to believe me.
I heard him talking to Evie.
He's up to something.
What if he's not?
How can you know for sure?
Fine. Don't believe me.
I'll prove it
to both of you.
Show me where he's hiding
the Trident.
Evie,
what are you doing here?
Do I need a reason?
It's just...
I have to go. It's nearly time.
You can't go out there.
You're walking into a trap,
they've got you fooled.
Look,
I know you don't like them,
but they're on my side.
Now, I have to go.
No!
Evie, move.
No!
I really have to go.
If you go to Mako,
our deal is off.
I'll tell everyone about them
and you.
You wouldn't do that.
I'm sorry, Zac.
But I will.
It's right here.
[♪♪♪]
[MOTOR REVS]
NIXIE:
He lied to me.
He actually lied to me.
I'm sorry, Nixie.
Why did Cam lie to Evie?
He's using her
to stop Zac going to Mako.
Yeah. He wants this
all to himself.
Cam's always been jealous
of Zac's powers.
Cam wants to be a merman.
We've got to do something.
If he takes the Trident
into the moon pool--
No, don't worry, Sirena. I'm not
gonna let this happen. Okay?
Are you kidding me?
There's just one thing we need.
Why are you doing this?
I know those girls.
I know I can trust them.
You're wrong, Zac.
Cam said that--
Cam?
What's Cam got to do with it?
He said that they wanna
make you like this forever.
Cam said that?
Whose idea was it to go to Mako
to get the Trident from me?
Cam's.
Right. And who has the Trident?
Now?
Cam.
Who planted the seed
of information
into your head earlier today
to try to get you to stop me
from going to Mako tonight?
Cam.
I have to go.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
What are you doing?
Yes, what are you doing?
Rita, I have made
a huge mistake.
But we really need these
right now.
Cam is out there
with the Trident,
and we have to stop him.
I know we haven't finished
much of our training,
but I'll understand
any punishment that follows.
We're taking these.
So, what are you waiting for?
Thank you.
Don't do this.
You're too late.
I'm gonna do
what you couldn't do.
You're making a big mistake.
You're wasting your breath.
Come on, Cam.
Put it down.
We don't belong here.
Speak for yourself.
You could get hurt.
Seriously hurt.
You take that thing in there,
it will destroy everything.
Do you remember
that night we camped here?
It should have been me.
Not you.
I won't let you do this.
I'm not asking
your permission.
You had your chance,
and you gave it up.
But I'm not going to.
[♪♪♪]
[DOOR OPENING]
This was meant to happen,
Zac.
You can't stop it.
Give it to me!
[ZAC SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
You shouldn't have done that.
[♪♪♪]
[SCREAMING]
[RINGS HUMMING]
CAM:
You can't stop me!
[♪♪♪]
What's going on?
I don't know.
I think my moon ring's
losing power.
SIRENA:
It's the Trident.
It's stronger than
our moon rings.
Hold on, Nixie!
[LAUGHING]
CAM:
You're no match for me!
[ZAC GRUNTING]
[TRIDENT CLATTERS]
[CAM SCREAMS]
[GASPING]
Lost something?
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Guess we have to
give these back to you now.
RITA:
No.
I remember three young mermaids
who were banished from the pod
for failing to protect
the moon pool.
But no one could have protected
the pool as well as you have.
Today,
I see three mermaids
who saved the moon pool
from destruction.
The pod would be
as proud of you as I am.
Now,
I know there's
a journey ahead,
but all three of you
have earned your moon rings.
[♪♪♪]
Sorry, we're not open yet.
I'll wait.
Sirena?
I don't understand.
I thought you were...?
Does this mean...?
I thought I'd stay a little bit
longer, if that's okay.
It's more than okay.
[♪♪♪]
ZAC:
I was in the moon pool
during the full moon,
and I didn't change back.
You realize this means that
you're stuck dating a merman
for a little while longer.
Well, it's lucky that
I love you for who you are,
not what you are.
Somebody get me
a bucket.
I was hoping
to see you three today.
I wanted to apologize.
I shouldn't have judged you
so quickly,
and I really am sorry.
I should have trusted you.
It's all history now,
Evie.
Go on, go.
I'd race you to Mako,
but let's face it,
you're too slow.
Dream on, mer-boy.
I can out-swim you any day.
So can I.
Me too.
