A historic day for Rock Island!

At the bottom of the sea,

the old pirate shipwreck, the Stella Celeste,

has been opened to the public!

Taylor's Uncle Charlie always wanted to dive it,

so this afternoon she's going with the rest of the family.

But not me. Because I'm "too young".

Which is fine.

It's been awhile.

You should ask Sunny - maybe he's changed his mind.

Changed my mind about what?

Can I please go diving with you?

Oh... I'm so sorry, sweetheart. You're just a little too young.

You know, these shipwrecks can be very dangerous.

Do you know how much danger I've navigated on this island?

None!

Because I am grown up enough to participate

in this perfectly safe familydive.

I think Lila's ready.

You canparticipate...

as our amazing land support team.

That's important. Huh?

We'll pick you up after work. Bye.

Bye, Mum.

-Hi, Nori. -Hey, Nori.

Guys, my brother just did a preliminary dive

on the Stella Celeste.

Apparently he found something.

It could be what Uncle Charlie was looking for.

Here's the stuff we cleaned up from the wreck.

Nori said you wanted to look through this garbage?

Uh, the technical term is 'salvage'.

Seriously, little bro.

You need to come to the mainland.

That's where the action is.

Nah, I think I'll stick to the island. But, uh, thanks, Silas.

No worries. See ya.

- Thanks, Silas. - Thanks, Silas.

Wait. Look at this!

♪mysterious music

That looks like an S and that looks like a T!

The Stella Celeste!

Oh!

But we have to be careful.

Uncle Charlie wrote about this shipwreck in his journal.

He said the captain took something from the island.

♪intriguing music

Whoa.

Looks like a bottle of perfume.

Wait, there's something else.

Treasure!

Yes! Ha!

I'm rich!

- Whoa! - No!

The coin just disintegrated.

We need to examine it more. Let's go find a bag inside.

It's so fancy!

What if it's royal perfume?

Or pirate aftershave?

What do you think pirates smell like?

Fear, terror...

What are you doing?

- Just one teensy sniff. - You shouldn't--

Oh, I'm sick of people telling me what I can't do today!

Ew!

It's the smell of 150-year-old pirate feet!

What's that terrible smell? Ellis!

For once, I am not responsible!

♪mysterious music

- Where's the box? - That gate wasn't open before.

♪ominous music

Lila, what happened?

I think someone just took the box.

But you and Ellis were right there!

Uh, not exactly.

Oh, I'm so sorry! I only wanted a teensy sniff!

- ♪mystical music - No, don't open it!

♪dramatic music

- You okay? - What's wrong?

I feel weird.

- Taylor? - Lila?

You're old!

Am I hallucinating? Can everyone see this?

Is it contagious? Will I be next?

Um, all teenagers have growth spurts. Right?

No. Am I okay?

You're okay. Am I okay?

Yeah, you're okay. Am I okay?

- Yes! Am I still okay? - Yes!

But we aren't!

It's gotta be the perfume.

Why does Taylor look way older than Lila?

I do have a more rigorous skincare routine.

Maybe because I got more on me.

Oh, yeah, probably that'd be it.

Don't spill it.

The bottle has no identifying marks.

Maybe the box will give us a clue.

Uh...

The box we don't have?

Nori, let's check the Dive Shop security camera.

♪curious plodding music

I'm not even sure this thing still works.

Ellis, we have to figure out a way to reverse this.

Grown-up women make me nervous and obedient.

We must do everything they're saying.

Uh, I asked Faraz

if this had any relation to the Fountain of Youth.

But it's a big no.

Hey, ladies.

Are you looking to book a dive?

I'm looking after them, Silas.

Nah, I don't mind helping, bro.

I usually work on the mainland, but I'm helping out this week.

So, what can I do for you?

Uh...

Uh...w-we're here... on Institute business.

I'm, uh, Ta...tiana.

And this is, uh...Stella, my--

- Her daughter! - Yes!

That's us. Me and my baby.

Ah...yeah.

Thanks, Mum.

Really? You seem familiar. You look more like sisters.

Yeah, sorry. Uh...they really do, don't they?

So, Silas,

I want to hear all about the diving off the mainland.

Ellis, pause it!

That's Dan. From the South Section.

But why would he want the box?

♪ominous music

But why would they only take the box

and leave the perfume behind?

I need to study the perfume some more.

- We have to get that box back. - Yes, ma'am.

Guys, we have to get into the South Section.

But, how?

They all know our faces by now.

Not...this face. I'll get in and look for the box

while Ellis analyses the perfume.

Lila, find out anything you can on the perfume or the ship.

- Got it. - Sounds good.

But the guards won't let you in dressed like that.

♪curious music

Are you sure Emily won't notice her clothes are gone?

I'm not sure of anything today.

We'll be right outside just in case you need us.

- I hope they think I'm an adult. - Well, if it helps,

my mum always folds her arms and says,

"I would appreciate your assistance."

Or you could talk about plumbers.

Or you could talk about the weather or losing your keys.

But whatever you do, just walk with confidence.

- Mm-hm. - Yeah.

You're confusing me with all this advice. Just...go hide!

She was nicer when she was younger.

Professor Tatiana Glass.

I'm consulting in the South Section with Dan Bonnet.

- I know the way. - Uh, excuse me. Um...

Can I see your visitor pass?

Sure.

If things go south...

- I've got a secret weapon. - Is that what I think it is?

I got a small sample from Ellis just in case Taylor needs a dash

and if, you know, it wears off, maybe I could--

What? Use it on yourself?

This isn't about you getting bigger muscles.

It's about helping Taylor.

I'm so sorry. I left my pass in the car.

Honestly, it's all this hot weather.

I mean, I even misplaced my keys this morning.

Tell me about it.

So hot last night, I forgot to take my recycling out.

And I've got an online starting with Professor James soon...

Uh, of course. Go on through, Professor.

Who knew Emily had all this cool stuff in the shed?

So far, I've identified musk, tree bark

and some fairly toxic chemicals which are relatively unstable

when mixed together.

Oh, hi.

Dad?

G'day! Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- And you are? - I'm, uh...

Lila's diving coach. Stella.

- Diving coach? - Yeah. Mm.

Lila's never mentioned anything about that.

Ah, no, no, she was meant to surprise you, but then...

you banned her from the dive today.

Oh. Well, I, uh...

Uh, Ellis, uh, what are you doing?

Um...some work for Taylor and Lila,

who are fine, perfectly fine.

Okay, um, where are they?

The, uh, Milk Shack. But they'll be back soon.

But not too soon, Da--

Uh...darn it, I said. Darn it!

I'll just give her a call.

No response. Um--

Uh, if you go now, you'll catch her.

No, I'll wait.

I want to hear more about this diving coach thing.

Lila is such a responsible student.

Old beyond her years...

♪ominous music

Oh! I'm so sorry.

- Are you okay? - Sorry, Mum!

I mean...my bad.

You look so familiar. Have we met?

Uh, were you at the Marine Conference on Gem Island?

Uh, Tatiana, uh, Glass, maritime archaeologist.

- I was there. Emily Young. - Lovely to see you.

Uh, excuse me, I'm just on my way to meet Dan Bonnet.

Oh, I'm heading there too.

Great boots, by the way. I have a pair just like them.

Maritime archaeology is such a fascinating area.

I'm diving the Stella Celeste later today with my daughter.

I'm actually really excited about it.

She's always off having fun adventures.

The adventuring spirit

should always be encouraged in young women.

- Very true. Do you have kids? - Yep, one. Stella.

They grow up so fast, don't they?

- Sorry, where's the bathroom? - Lobby.

I'll let Dan know you're here.

Thanks, Mu...my friend Emily!

Emily, I need an expert to remove barnacles

on an artefact in the decontamination lab.

The wood must be preserved at all costs.

I'll send someone.

Oh, Dan. Tatiana Glass is here for you.

Who?

♪suspenseful music

Excuse me!

What area are you from?

That's South Section property.

Who are you?

Hey! Come back here!

♪tense music

- Security. - We have an intruder.

♪tense music builds

Taylor, it's mum.

Have you seen my underwater camera? Message me.

Taylor's trapped. It's time for the secret weapon.

No. I like being my age.

And we don't know how to reverse it.

You know, and just overlooking all of that,

I really do think that...

- ...Lila is ready for her dive. - Hey.

Yeah, she's talking with Sunny.

I couldn't bear the thought of letting anything...

- Oh, okay. Yep. - She's the light of my life.

If the light of your life was a boy, would you be as strict?

Well, I never thought of it like that.

No, of course not.

Sunny, Taylor called.

Emily wants this.

Ah, okay, great. I'll, uh, drop it off at her work, thanks.

No! Don't go to the Institute.

She'll meet you at, uh, your work.

Uh, but now, right now. Go, go, go!

All right, all right. Um...uh, Stella.

Yeah, uh, great to meet you.

I feel like I've known you my whole life.

Me too.

I mean, me too, hey!

He's gone. We can talk.

I've got the box. Raquel had it.

So she's gone full evil South Section again?

I think so.

She said something about preserving the box's wood.

So find out anything you can about it. I'll send photos.

Ms Taylor, I've analysed the perfume's elements.

Some of these 19th-century ingredients

actually have ageing effects.

If I can just reverse their chemical reaction,

I might be able to make an antidote.

- Great! - Fantastic!

Only...how are you both feeling?

Fine. Why?

Ah...overlooked, but healthy.

These old chemicals are super unstable

and the effects appear to suddenly accelerate.

By my calculations if we don't reverse it,

extreme ageing will occur within 60 minutes for you,

a bit longer for Lila.

Okay, wait, how extreme are we talking?

You've probably got five minutes after that and...

...you might not have to worry about ageing anymore.

If you know what I mean.

♪foreboding music

The coast is clear.

Let's do this.

- Are you sure this'll work? - We don't have time for doubts.

You said yourself - we need to help Taylor.

♪upbeat funk music

♪music stops abruptly

- Can I help you? - Ah, yeah.

We're the plumbers, mate.

Yeah, mate. Yeah, mate. Yeah.

Okay, I'll just need you to sign in--

Ah, listen, mate, you've got a blocked hydraulic valve

in the shark tank, mate, and we've only got 30 minutes, mate,

and then we're booked till Christmas, mate.

Can we do this or not?

All you plumbers are so busy!

Just go through.

- Cheers, mate. - Yeah, cheers, mate.

I handle all the tradies for Nan at the Milk Shack.

On ya, mate.

Okay, let's find Taylor.

Taylor?

Who's there?

It's Nori and Meesha.

You sound different.

Stand back.

I've been training for this my whole life.

♪dramatic music builds

Yah!

♪triumphant electric guitar riff♪

Ha! I love this body!

No! You didn't!

It was the quickest way to get in.

But the perfume doesn't wear off.

And we've got 55 minutes to reverse it, or we are done.

We should've made time for those doubts, huh.

Quick!

♪urgent action music

Seal off the South Section

and notify the authorities. Have there been any sightings?

Do we have security on all the entrances?

Yes, and we've sealed the exits.

Good.

But how are we gonna get out now?

Lila, its Taylor. We need your help.

First, find out how you can access the Institute's pool

through the ocean, and second, find Silas.

Silas! It's me, Stella!

- Hi. - There's a top-secret emergency

at the Institute and we need your help.

I'd like to but, um...I'm going diving with a family soon.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm sure they won't mind.

We're running an evacuation drill

in case the security system malfunctions

and everyone's trapped in there.

- Really? - Uh...

Your brother Nori said you were

the only one capable of doing it.

But if you want me to get in someone from the mainland...

Hey...what do you need?

♪urgent action music

Are you sure we're allowed to enter the Institute this way?

The drill's to test alternative evacuation points, remember?

Now, who's up for a fast evacuation?

Hey, here you go.

Okay, I was under water a long time but not that long.

I'll explain on the way. We've got 25 minutes.

Do I know you, bro?

Oh, I don't think so, bro.

This whole thing feels a bit weird.

Silas.

We would appreciate your assistance.

Yeah.

My fingers are tingling. I'm starting to change.

We've got to get to Ellis.

Ellis? Please tell us you figured out an antidote.

Hey.

It's spreading!

Ellis, we need you right now.

Lila's going to transform soon.

I've been working on an antidote but I haven't tested it yet.

- Just do it, Ellis! - Yes ma'am!

♪suspenseful music

It didn't work!

She's only got a couple of minutes left.

♪suspenseful music builds

Mum and Sunny are on their way to pick us up for the dive.

What are we going to do?

I don't think they're ready for their daughters

to be grandmothers!

This all started with us finding that box.

Lila did you find out anything about that wood?

Yes! I found a wood-grain identifying app

which matched it to the rare and prized Acucia Tree.

Acucia? I've seen that name before.

Uncle Charlie was trying to find the Acucia -

the oldest tree on the island.

The myth was that it had

mysterious accelerating qualities.

I've run all over this island

and I've never seen a tree like that.

Uh, that tree was cut down over 100 years ago.

What if what the captain of the Stella Celeste

took from Rock Island wasthe Acucia tree?

So he cut it down and made that box.

What, so the box made us old?

What about the perfume?

The treasure!

The coin disintegrated in my hand when I picked it up.

Usually, coins take thousands of years

to break down when under water,

but the wood accelerated the effect.

And it must have accelerated the effects

of dodgy ageing ingredients in the perfume!

That's great, but we still don't have an antidote that works.

Not yet. But if we accelerate Ellis's ageing antidote?

Um, we don't have years

for the antidote to accelerate in the box.

Rather than infusing it gently,

we make the wood an ingredient.

Oh, no.

My brother's in the car with your parents. Hurry!

My fingers are tingly.

Hurry, Ellis!

It's happening to me, too.

They're just outside!

♪suspenseful music builds

♪angelic music

Quick! Ellis, spray the rest of us.

♪triumphant music

No more scary authority figures!

We need to store this somewhere safe and study it more.

Oh!

I've been looking for you all day.

- What have you been doing? - Uh, just swimming.

You know, I met your lovely dive coach earlier

and she reminded me of how grown up you really are.

You have no idea.

So we would love it if you would come with us and Silas

on the dive today.

Really? Oh! Thanks, Dad!

Oh, hey, um, what do you think if I grew out a beard?

- Awesome, bro! - Yeah.

Taylor, are they my boots?
