LYLA:
I don't know why
we came back here.
Because Rita said she'd help us.
Only after you threatened
to expose her as a mermaid.
And what makes you think we
can trust her?
I have a feeling she misses
the sea just as much as we do.
Can we cut the chitchat
and go find Zac?
[♪♪♪]
[GASPS]
Hey!
You gotta come see this.
LYLA:
What is this place?
It's all from the sea.
Maybe Rita does miss it.
Being a mermaid and all.
Let's see what she's got.
[MEOWS]
Shoo. Shoo.
[CAT PURRS]
[♪♪♪]
[CAT MEOWS]
Hey, Poseidon.
What is it?
[♪♪♪]
[CHUCKLES]
Hey. Look at this.
I am Queen of the Sea.
[GIGGLES]
Here's your dress, my queen.
Well, hello.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Check this.
Somebody already knows
Rita's secret.
Put that down.
This place is private.
These things are not for you.
We didn't mean any harm.
So you get to tell whoever you
like that you're a mermaid.
His name was Harry.
I told him because
he was going to be my husband.
You were going to marry a human?
I don't expect you
to understand.
Just go back to the sea.
The land is not for you.
But Zac--
Forget Zac.
If you try and get him, you'll
draw attention to yourselves
and once the land dwellers
find out you're mermaids
they'll come after me.
We'll be careful.
You have no idea
what this world is like.
You don't even get that you
can't keep stealing clothes.
You have to buy them.
I made a new life.
So can you.
I want you gone
by the time the sun goes down.
We don't need her.
We can deal with Zac.
We need to get him
in contact with water.
He's most vulnerable
when he's just transformed.
Hmm, I think we should just wait
until the next full moon.
I mean if we keep him out
of the moonlight,
his powers might fade away.
The next full moon
is weeks off.
Getting him when he's underwater
is the only way.
Look, whatever we do, I think
we all need to agree on it.
Fine.
I'll do it on my own.
SIRENA: Lyla.
Oh, no, no, no.
You're...
You're going with me.
I am not stealing
any more clothes.
Stealing?
Why would we steal
when we've got all this?
SIRENA:
Rita's treasure.
[♪♪♪]
Morning.
Yes, hello.
We'd like some clothes.
Sure.
Anything in particular?
Things that will
make us fit in.
Things that normal
human girls wear.
Normal human girls?
Just ignore her.
What have you got?
How about
I pick some things out
and you can try them on?
Uh, why don't you use
the change room?
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
It's the most amazing feeling.
Like you're flying.
No wonder dolphins
always seem happy.
You should come out
to the reef with me.
I'll take you on
an underwater tour.
With me hanging on
like a little kid?
No, thanks.
It's your loss.
Wanna go get some breakfast?
No.
I've got stuff to do.
Cam.
Are you okay about all this?
Sure. I've always wanted
a fish for a friend.
[♪♪♪]
These pants fit great.
They feel really tight.
How are you going in there?
NIXIE:
You got anything else?
[♪♪♪]
[DOG BARKING]
[HISSING]
[BARKING]
Shh! You have to go.
Buster!
Shh!
[DOG CONTINUES BARKING]
Buster!
[DOG BARKING]
[SIGHS]
Buster.
Buster?
Buster,
how did you get in there?
Here, boy.
Come on, boy. Jump.
[♪♪♪]
ZAC:
Come on.
Hey, Buster, you all right?
[GRUNTS]
Let's get you home.
Well, you tried on almost
everything in the shop
but you got there in the end.
Get your old clothes out of the
change room and you're done.
Carly.
It's my lunch break.
Can you finish up for me?
Uh, where are you going?
My favorite shoe shop
is having a sale.
I want to get there before
all the good shoes are gone.
How long will you be?
Carly, it's a shoe sale.
CARLY:
Right. See you next week.
We need shoes.
We definitely do.
How will you be paying today,
girls? Cash or card?
Oh.
[COINS JINGLE]
Hey.
You forgot your old clothes.
[♪♪♪]
Here you go.
Tuna salad sandwich.
Thanks.
You're eating a lot
of fish these days.
I hope you don't grow fins.
[CHUCKLES]
[♪♪♪]
Ah!
Oh. Sorry.
[♪♪♪]
[PANTING]
[THUDS]
[SIGHS]
Great.
[♪♪♪]
[WHISPERS]
What do we do?
[WHISPERS]
We do what she does.
[♪♪♪]
We're out of cream.
Carly, can you get some more?
No problemo.
Anything else while I'm here?
Just the cream.
[♪♪♪]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS]
[♪♪♪]
Whoa. See those?
Yeah. They're shoes.
Very pretty shoes.
Very perfect shoes.
What are you doing?
Are you stalking me?
No.
We're just getting some shoes.
Well, I saw those first.
Well, you put them back.
I changed my mind.
Nixie, why don't we look around?
There might be some better ones.
I want these.
You gave me a hard time
in the shop this morning
and now you follow me here.
Is this some kind of prank?
Are you filming me or something?
We just want shoes.
Well, get some others
because those are my size.
Well, same here.
I want them.
They're mine.
Mine.
EVIE: Mine. Mine.
NIXIE: Mine. Mine.
Give them back!
What is going on?
[♪♪♪]
Come on, why isn't this working?
[GROANS]
[GROANS]
[♪♪♪]
[FAN STOPS WHIRRING]
[♪♪♪]
[PIPES RUMBLING]
[YELLS]
No.
[GROANS]
No.
This is not happening.
[♪♪♪]
Carly.
That doesn't look good.
I'll call the service guy
and we'll get the rest
of the stuff off the floor
so it doesn't spoil.
Is this some sort
of shoplifting scam?
No.
We just wanted some shoes.
Well, you're not
getting them here.
I don't wanna see you
in my shop again.
Happy now?
CLERK:
You're both banned.
Don't come back in here.
Ever.
That was
my favorite shoe shop.
We're really sorry,
aren't we, Nixie?
Not really.
Nixie.
From now on,
just stay away from me, okay?
[SCOFFS]
I thought shopping
was gonna be fun.
Let's go find Lyla.
I bet she's having better luck.
Probably.
[♪♪♪]
How long will
it take to fix?
I'll have to check
the whole system.
Can you clear all this out?
Everything?
I'll get my kit.
Lyla's not here.
Where else can we look?
There's Zac.
Do you think maybe
Lyla zapped him?
I don't know. Why don't I just
go up and ask him?
Hey, Zac.
Lost any powers today?
See? I told you
they were stalking me.
But why?
I don't know.
They got me thrown out
of the shoe store
and they turn up here.
What's their story?
Hi.
I told you
to stay away from me.
Have you seen Lyla?
No.
Carly, I need you to help me
clear out the cool room.
Problem, Dave?
DAVE: It's packed up.
EVIE:
Didn't you have it serviced
last month?
Yeah, and the guy said
it was okay.
Well, now it's not okay.
It's like someone zapped
the thermostat.
Lyla.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Lyla?
Get me out of here.
There's too much water
for her to transform.
We'll have to carry her out.
We can't do that with people
coming in all the time.
How do we keep them out?
I don't know.
Distract them.
How?
You'll think of something.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
DAVID:
Why were you singing?
I thought it might cheer you up.
Didn't you like it?
Oh, no, it was beautiful.
Thank you.
Now I have to go.
What's that about?
Those girls are beyond weird.
You think that's weird?
Wait till you see what they paid
for their clothes with.
A thank-you would be nice.
What for?
Getting you out of trouble.
I was handling it.
Oh, yeah.
That was pretty obvious
by the way you're lying
on the floor with your tail,
waiting to be discovered.
Thank you.
Hey.
How do you like
your new clothes?
Good.
SIRENA:
They're really nice.
Oh, glad to hear it.
Here are your old ones.
And you paid for the new ones
with these?
Is there a problem?
Oh, there's definitely
a problem.
[♪♪♪]
[CAT PURRING]
NIXIE:
You were right.
We drew attention to ourselves.
Lyla got stuck in her tail.
Okay.
Let's not make a big deal of it.
I warned you.
We've decided it's not right
to put you in danger
because of us.
We won't bother you again.
Are you going back to Mako?
What's it to you?
You don't care.
Did you marry him?
No. He died.
I'm sorry.
You must have loved him a lot.
I hope you find
someone else.
Wait.
I know how painful it is
to lose your pod
but you can't just go
barging around on land.
There's so much
you don't know.
And not just about land
dwellers. Mermaids too.
Well, you don't even
have your Moon Rings.
And we'll never get them if we
don't do something about Zac.
I might be prepared
to let you stay.
If you listen to me.
That's my deal.
Take it or leave it.
Okay.
Okay.
If anyone asks,
tell them you're my nieces.
That makes me your aunt.
Thank you.
Yeah. Thanks.
We should be heading back
to Mako.
Hey, I really like
your new clothes.
Where did you
get the money?
Evie said we had
to pay her properly
otherwise we'd be in trouble.
Actually, she said we'd better
pay her by tomorrow
or she'd call the....
Cops.
Cops.
Aunt Rita,
do you have any money?
