[Lila] Come on! Work it on the floor!

-Hey? -Love that for you, Dad!

Big tick from me too.

Alright, alright! Okay, fashion show's over.

Dad, you know tomorrow is a big deal for Emily.

Yes, I know.

Your mother wants to make a good impression

for her new boss.

But it's Annabelle Walker. She's a scientist, so...

And the new head of the Institute.

I don't think she's gonna be

concerned with what we're wearing.

[gasps] What we wear is our message to the world.

Oh. And exactly what is that footwear saying?

That I have a great visual aesthetic,

a sense of whimsy whilst being comfortable.

I'm powerful and organised just like an owl

and that I love animals.

All that from a pair of slippers?

Yes. You don't get that?

-But aren't they super cute? -I'm going to bed.

[laughs]

Ohhh.

We make a good team.

I always wanted a daughter.

And look at this great girl who came into my life.

That photo always gets me.

It feels like there should be someone beside you.

Um...

The gang and I are meeting first thing tomorrow.

-Okay if I meet you there? -Sure.

[Dad, calling ] I'm making some of my herbal tea!

Anyone want some?

Sure! I'll have one. Thanks, Dad.

-'Night. -'Night.

-Best behaviour, okay? -Of course.

And that means no dad jokes.

People love my dad jokes.

I get Lila's got a lot going on,

but when she demands no-one be late,

that means her too.

She should be here. It's a big day for the Institute.

Yeah, well, maybe she slept in?

♪ Rock Island Mysteries. ♪

I've only been on this fabulous little island for two days

and I already know it is special.

A place that we must protect.

We at the Poseidon Institute have...

Lila had the right idea about bailing on this.

It's boring as.

Not answering her phone? It's not like her.

Shh.

-What's with him? -New boss.

He's in his "sucking up" phase.

I might get a promotion when she sees my paper

on the taxonomic hierarchy of the Rock Island Sea Slug.

Aren't we here to see if we can trust her?

She might just be another Professor James.

Annabelle Walker cares about one thing -

the environment.

Of course we can trust her.

She might even sort out what's going on

in the contamination zone.

-[gasps] -Lila! Where have you been?

And what have you been doing?

You've got a...

Oh, I should've done a mirror check!

You won't believe what happened this morning.

I woke up on the edge of Ranger's Cliff!

-Why? -I don't know.

I think I must've...

...sleepwalked!

[Annabelle stops talking]

Lila.

Just so you know, I'm not with them.

I don't know who they are.

It was terrifying. I was right on the edge.

You're so lucky you didn't fall.

This is a disaster!

A calamity of cataclysmic proportions!

I completely embarrassed myself in front of Annabelle.

You saw how she stared at us.

She hates me.

[gasps repeatedly] I'm gonna be fired!

Ellis, we're talking about Lila sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking is a perfectly natural phenomenon.

Nothing to worry about, unlike my future employment!

I woke up on the edge of a cliff!

There is nothing natural about that.

Can you remember anything before that?

Uh... I don't know.

Maybe that I had to go somewhere and... something made me.

Or someone?

[gasps] Taylor!

Could she be trying to reach me?

Uncle Charlie's communicated with us in our sleep before.

Maybe she's trying to show me a way to get her back.

And if so, I have to listen.

Agreed.

Let's see if it happens again.

So, you'll watch and see what happens.

And photos are fine, but no videos, please.

This is not how I want to go viral.

If you try to start trekking around the island again,

I'll stop you.

-You sure you can stay awake? -Please.

I've trained my body to live off two hours of sleep a night.

Hmm.

[sighs]

[snores]

Meesha! Wake up!

You fell asleep!

Two nights in a row I've woken up in the jungle.

Something is definitely going on.

And I was definitely thinking of Taylor

when I woke up.

We still can't be sure that's what is the cause of this.

But if you manage to escape and go trekking again,

this will track where you go.

-And this... -[beeps]

...will show us what you do when you get there.

And, hopefully, show us how to put a stop to it.

I feel like a science project.

Well, Ellis would be proud.

Sleep tight.

Well, that didn't work.

There's no hint of any subliminal frequencies.

If this is Taylor, who knows how she's...

Lila?

Why are you tying us together!?

I am not waking up in another random spot of the jungle again.

Goodnight.

Whoa.

Did I do that?

Sleep-me is the boss.

Help.

Clearly, this isn't working. I think we need a new approach.

This is a disaster.

The storm is crazy. We can't follow her.

She's woken up somewhere different every time.

Who knows what part of the jungle it'll be tonight?

Maybe it'll pass before she starts sleepwalking.

If that happens, we won't let her out of our sight.

If it doesn't, we'll stop her.

Is there a reason you're all still awake?

Sorry, Sunny, we're trying, but...

...Meesha's afraid of the storm.

Yeah, I'm so terrified.

Well, if you really can't sleep,

try some of my herbal tea.

That'll knock you out.

Otherwise, zip it.

I really think we should wake her, call it off.

Oh... It's a bit late for that.

What? How?!

She's gone.

[Ellis] This is bad.

-[Nori] Lila! -[Meesah] Lila!

Lila!?

-Lila! -Lila!

Lila!

She's here!

Lila!

Lila, are you okay?

We've been looking for you all night.

What happened?

We're so sorry.

You got away from us in the rain.

We should never have let you out of our sight.

This is getting too dangerous.

She's been sleepwalking every night.

What are we meant to do?

Lock the doors and windows until it stops.

It's not stopping. And there's no pattern to it.

All I can remember when I wake up is Taylor.

This has something to do with her, I know it!

We all want Taylor back, but not if it means risking your life.

If she's trying to reach me in my sleep,

I can't just ignore it.

I don't want her to think I've forgotten her.

-She would never think that. -But it's true!

When I'm at home with Dad and Emily

it's like I'm moving on without her.

What kind of sister am I?

[Meesha] We get how much you miss her.

We do too.

But we don't want you getting hurt.

If it was the other way around,

Taylor would do the same for me.

Sorry.

Hey.

Why do you have sugarcane?

Weird. I must've picked it up while I was sleepwalking.

I've been thinking about this tea you drank

the first time it happened.

Where's it from?

Dad made it himself, from herbs he picked up around the island.

Native plants? Anyone else getting alarm bells?

It's right up there with the shared dreams we had.

Could you take a sample to the Institute to find out?

The Institute?

As in the place I'm avoiding

so Annabelle might conveniently forget my faux pas

and therefore not fire me?

Hey, you're good at facing your fears these days.

Yes. But I don't want to face thisone.

I can come with, keep an eye out,

make sure you don't run into her.

And I've been thinking...

I'm going to try and sleepwalk again.

-What!? -In the daytime.

Meesha can follow and keep me safe.

[Nori] Lila.

We need answers

and I'd prefer not do any more nighttime hiking.

Bodyguard duty. I got you, Li.

See? Meesha's got my back.

Everything will be okay.

[breathes deeply]

Imagine you're as light as a feather.

Let the world fall away. Embrace what makes you calm.

[exhales] Mmm.

[Meesha grunts repeatedly]

[grunts]

Meesha, I'm all for vocal expression

but grunting does not equal calm.

Well, it does for me.

Exercise is my zen.

[grunts]

-[crack!] -Ow.

[Meesha continues grunting]

Do you see anything?

You're the one looking through the microscope.

I'm talking about Annabelle. You're meant to be on lookout!

Okay.

Huh. There's valerian root and lavender.

Both help with the deep sleep.

That certainly makes Lila more susceptible to sleepwalking.

But they don't cause it.

Something else must be acting as the catalyst.

Ellis! Annabelle alert!

[Emily] I'm not sure if you're aware

but Lila's actually my stepdaughter.

[yawns]

I'm sorry. That's so rude. It's not you.

I just haven't been getting much sleep.

-Is everything okay? -Yes, just tired.

I'm working on a top-secret project at the moment.

So it's keeping me up at night.

-Oh. Care to share? -Ooh, I can't yet.

But trust me, it's big.

It's gonna really shake things up.

Wow.

I knew we couldn't trust her. Come on.

What? Where are we going?

[Meesha] I wish I was the one sleepwalking.

My step count would be awesome.

Um... Lila?

Are you asleep?

I'll take that as a yes.

We shouldn't be doing this.

We really shouldn't be doing this.

I was look out for you. Time to repay the favour.

This is Annabelle's office.

AKA the boss, AKA the head honcho.

If my internship wasn't already DOA,

it will be when we get caught.

Ellis, she's been up every night

working on a "top-secret project".

So?

So, what if Lila's being affected by this project?

Some weird side effect of it

could be behind her sleepwalking?

That's preposterous. How would she even do that?

Why would she even do that?

I don't know, but this place has form.

That's why I'm searching for evidence.

I'm telling you, Annabelle is nothing like Professor James.

The South Section is closed.

Oh, really?

Then what's this?

Young Enhancement?

Annabelle thought Lila was Emily's daughter.

This could be about Lila.

Or Taylor. Or Uncle Charlie.

The file's locked.

It could mean anything.

Maybe it's for helping young... baby seals?

Or, like... anti-ageing creams!

They're very popular with middle-aged women.

I certainly hope you're not calling me middle aged.

[Meesha] Tripping hazards ahead. I'm on it.

All clear.

This is an awesome workout.

But any chance you can tell me where we're going?

Sleepwalking, not sleep-talking. Awesome. Got it.

Just gotta move this rock.

[grunts]

Nailed it.

[metal jangles]

Wait, that's my harness!

Um... why are you walking towards the cliff?

Lila, stop!

Thank you.

There's no way you could make it down...

Woah!

-[cable whirs] -Awesome!

But... be careful!

So, this is the part where you explain

what you're doing in my office on my computer.

Oh, uh...

We were... There's a very good reason.

Which Nori will tell you all about.

Sea slugs.

Excuse me?

Ellis wrote this amazing paper on sea slugs.

-Didn't you? -Yes!

It's a part of the sub-class of the Heterobranchia...

But after he emailed it to you, he realised there was a typo.

I can't abide a typo.

They are a crime against the written word.

So we wanted to delete it and resend the corrected version.

-Right. Is that so? -Yes.

That's exactly what happened.

Please don't fire me!

-He'll resend it now. -Perfect.

Yes. I'll do that.

For future reference,

I will forgive a typo.

But not this kind of intrusion.

Lovely. Well, we'll get out of your hair.

Your very, very nice hair.

It's so shiny and lustrous.

Have an amazing day.

By the way, I'm a huge fan.

Ahhh!

Wow! Mad sleeve skills!

My turn. Hey, wait up!

Finally! What took you so long?

Sorry. We ran into some trouble. How's Lila doing?

I lost her.

-What? -How is that even possible?

Sleepwalking Lila is next level.

[Nori] So, where exactly are you?

Ranger's Cliff.

That's where Lila woke up the first time it happened.

If she's retracing her steps each time she sleepwalks,

she might be trying to get to a particular spot.

She must've brought this rope

one of the other times she was sleepwalking.

-Wait. So, where is she going? -There has to be a clue.

Did she pick up anything else on her way?

No, nothing.

Apart from the very random sugarcane from last time.

-[Nori] The sugarcane! -Yeah, what about it?

At the bottom of Ranger's Cliff you can get to Fire Gully,

where there's millions of fire ants.

Of course. Ants love sugar.

Lila must've collected sugarcane to distract the ants

and get through without being bitten.

If she's going through Fire Gully,

that means she's headed to Risky River.

Risky River?

My mums told me never to go anywhere near there.

The water runs fast.

Faster then me if that's even possible!

If she falls into Risky River, she could get washed out to sea.

Meet me there.

[Nori and Meesha] Lila! Lila!

[Ellis] Lila!

[Nori] Meesha, look!

Stop! Lila! Wake up!

Lila!

-[gasps] -Lila, Lila.

Meesha? How did I get here?

Don't worry. Like I said, I got you.

Where are we?

Risky River.

Risky River.

Ooh.

I know this place.

Taylor and I have been here before.

I think I know where I was going!

[Meesha] You've dug up a... lunchbox?

I'd forgotten about this.

Taylor and I buried it here on one of our holidays.

Come on.

What is all this stuff?

Memories of things we did together.

Our time capsule.

So, Taylor was sending me a message.

Actually, I think you were sending a message to yourself.

What do you mean?

Sunny's tea didn't cause your sleepwalking.

I've been looking for the catalyst all day.

I think it's you.

Sleepwalking can be caused by anxiety.

And you've been so worried about moving on from Taylor,

your subconscious self remembered this place

and brought you here.

To give you all these reminders of how close you were.

-And still are. -You're right.

Even though she's not here with me right now,

she will always be a part of me.

I said the same thing to her when we added in this photo.

She was so worried about him being missing.

Wait.

Why haven't Taylor and Uncle Charlie

disappeared from these photos?

I think I know.

When are we gonna dig this up again?

When we forget what's in it.

It's so much more fun to open something

when it's a surprise.

But what if we forget that we buried it?

Maybe...

-...this should work.

What's that?

Uncle Charlie gave it to me before he disappeared.

It's a rare Rock Island emerald.

He told me because it's from the island

it has the power to protect memories.

I think if we put this in the box,

it could stop whatever's inside from ever being forgotten.

Somehow it stopped the photos of Taylor and Uncle Charlie

from fading away.

Best of all,

this means Annabelle's secret project

has nothing to do with controlling Lila in her sleep.

What are you talking about?

Given what the South Section used to do

this has to be about Uncle Charlie.

Maybe Annabelle knows Raquel. They might be working together.

-She would've told us. -I still say it's something bad.

We can't trust the head of the Institute,

no matter who it is.

Please don't embarrass me again.

My internship is already hanging by a thread.

Oh, wow! How wonderful! You're all here!

The whole family can celebrate.

Um... what's going on?

Emily just got promoted.

You're looking at the new Head of Research.

That's amazing!

Honestly, I'm still so surprised,

I don't know what to say.

I did tell you I had something big brewing.

I called it the Young Enhancement Project.

[chuckles]

Now come on, everyone, dig in.

I have spent many nights baking all of this.

Please do not let my lack of sleep go to waste.

Oh, and, Ellis,

excellent report on the sea slugs.

I'm very much looking forward to working together.

No, thanks.

Still don't think we can trust her?

Hmm.

[sighs]

Oh. Someone's tired.

So, I'm guessing none of Dad's tea tonight?

I won't need any help falling asleep tonight.

Okay.

That friend of yours.

There's just something about her.

I must be tired too.

Yeah.

I'll see you in the morning.

-'Night. -'Night.

[sighs]

Goodnight, Taylor. I miss you.

We'll bring you home soon.
