-[mellow music playing] -[barks]

-[growls] -Easy there, little evil jellyfish.

-[growls] -[gasps, growls]

Is it possible Mom was a mermaid and Dad never knew?

It would explain why she had a trident ring hidden in a snow globe.

And it would explain how Celia is a mermaid.

[Sasha] Are you going to put it on?

It would look so pretty on your finger. See?

I don't think I'm ready.

I mean, to use a trident ring, you have to have Mermaid Magic, right?

-[Tyler groans] -I don't have any powers.

Well, until you do,

you can keep your mom's ring close to your heart.

And don't worry, I'll help you find your Mermaid Magic.

I'm sure it's something strong, like Storm Power!

Oh! Or maybe Invisibility Power, like me!

-[both laugh] -[music concludes]

How is Uncle Orca?

You know Orca. He's strong.

-But even he can't hold out forever. -What about you?

-[soft music playing] -My dad says you're working day and night

to help everyone who's sick from the venom.

I worry you're not taking care of yourself.

I'll sleep when the crisis is over.

You need to get rest, Alex.

I'm your princess, and that's a command.

Yes, your highness.

-[Tyler] Merlinda? -Huh?

Um�

Fred said he's got some tech that can help us track down

your Nixie and the Sea Witch.

That's great! A real chance to cure the sick merfolk.

-Alex will be thrilled. -Alex?

Yeah. He's working so hard for Mertropia.

[sinister music playing]

[grunts]

I've been working on a spell to cure you of your recent attitude problem.

It will make you strong enough to capture Merlinda once and for all.

One spiny quill from a lionfish.

This won't hurt a bit.

-[gasps, grunts] -[music builds]

[laughs] Just kidding. This will definitely sting.

[groans]

[laughs evilly]

[music concludes]

[upbeat music playing]

Why are we meeting Fred in a park?

Tracy has been spying on him at his lab.

Also, I sort of have a surprise for you.

-What kind of surprise? -[van horn honks]

[all gasp]

[music concludes]

Who's driving this thing? [gasps]

Software is driving it. I wrote it myself. [chuckles] Meet me around back.

Look, I updated Petey

with a tracking device so he can tag boats that overfish or pollute.

It sends a ping and your watch pongs back.

Ping Pong. Get it?

Petey, "Ping Pong."

[dramatic music playing]

-[groans] -[laughs] That was great. Do it again.

Uh, there might be a bug or two to work out.

Enough playing with your toys, boys. It's time to get to work.

-[groans] -Let's see this jellyfish.

-[growls] -[gasps]

Definitely not friendly. But he is kind of cute.

-Hmm! -He's still under the witch's spell.

Well, luckily, we have science to get the answers we need.

Jellyfish are 99% water.

By analyzing the chemical components, mineral compounds,

and the biological properties in that water�

We should be able to pinpoint the exact location the jellyfish is from.

Which will lead us straight to the Sea Witch.

-[music continues] -And my Nixie.

With the essence of the Oracle,

we'll be able to restore her soul and her sweet nature.

Okay, the software is running. Looks like this will take a while.

And that's the other reason we're here at the park.

Merlinda, you've been under a lot of pressure.

Some of us think you need to cut loose and have a little fun.

Which is my middle name, by the way.

Actually, it's "Buford."

So, I've decided to teach you how to rollerblade.

-Now, before you say no- -Yes!

Yes, exactly. I, uh- What?

Rollerblading looks like fun. And this analyzer's gonna take a while.

-Teach me! -Uh, but�

I had this whole speech ready to talk you into it.

I'm sure it was great. [laughs] Let's go!

Celia, it's the perfect time to work on finding your Mermaid Magic!

-Come on! -Whoa!

I'll stay with you, Fred, and help monitor the process.

Great! It'll be nice to have company.

Huh?

[upbeat music playing]

[both grunt]

[chuckles]

Um, Fred, actually,

I need to go ask Hunter a really important question about his hat.

-What hat? -Uh, yeah, uh, exactly.

-All right, that's it. Yeah, yeah, nice. -Oh!

Relax. You got it.

[soft music playing]

[Merlinda] I've changed my mind.

I think I like shoes better without wheels on them.

I've got you. You're doing great.

[laughs]

With any challenge, you've got to clear your mind of everything else.

Focus on the one thing.

In this case, it's your balance and your blades.

-If you don't focus on that� -[laughs]

[both groan]

-[laughs] Disaster. -[sighs]

-[groans] -[music concludes]

It's okay if you think about me too,

but mostly it's about your balance and your blades.

-Yes, that's it! -[sinister music playing]

Today's the day I'm gonna catch you with your mermaid tail, Merlinda.

And I'll post it for the whole world to see.

So I just shoot for the basket to score, right?

-It's not so easy. -[upbeat music playing]

Rush straight in and the other team is gonna see you coming every time.

Uh, yeah. See me scoring, you mean?

[laughs] Not if they block you.

You gotta be unpredictable on the court, like this.

[groans] What was that?

It's called a behind-the-back pass.

[laughs] Not bad.

Professor Basketball, you ready to play or what?

[groans]

[scoffs] Let's do this.

[hip hop music playing]

[Chris chuckles]

[gasps]

Nerissa, over here.

[groans]

[Hunter] I got you, Nerissa.

Nothing but net.

-[grunts] -[laughs] No, it's just a fist bump. Pow!

And we do this when we score?

Every time.

Huh! Then I'm gonna be the one to score next.

Sure. Just don't rush straight in this time.

Whatever you say. Now let's get back out there.

-[soft music playing] -You're really good at this.

Especially for someone who spends half their time

with the tail instead of legs.

I have a good teacher.

[chuckles] Well, I don't like to brag, but I am a bit of an expert.

[laughs]

-[gasps] -[groans]

[groans]

[groans, laughs]

[both laugh]

[sighs] This cuteness is so annoying.

-[Sasha] Come on, over here. This way. -Huh?

Celia, it's a process. You gotta trust it.

Mm. This looks promising.

Okay, we've tried meditation to get in touch with your Mermaid Magic,

and we've tried Mer-chi�

[grunts]

Maybe now we should try something a little more drastic.

-Drastic? How? -[music concludes]

[chuckles] Hmm�

[upbeat music playing]

One�

two�

three�

Water Bomb!

-Uh-huh! -[Celia screams]

Anything?

Uh-uh.

Again.

[screams] Electro Shock! Huh?

-Again. -Ocean Shield! [screams]

-Again. -Water Wall! [screams]

Again.

Double Splash Deluxe! Go, go, water blast!

Bubble-ageddon!

Again.

[screams]

Rolling Thunder! [groans]

[sighs]

-[mysterious music playing] -I'm so surprised that didn't work.

It's okay. I appreciate you trying to help.

Don't worry. I have more ideas.

-[barks] -I just have to figure out what they are.

[enchanting music playing]

[music fades]

[upbeat music playing]

[pants]

-[Hunter] Nerissa! I�m open! -You got this.

[Chris] Come on!

[grunts]

[Hunter] Okay!

[grunts]

-Huh! No! -That's game.

Ooh-hoo! Thanks for the warm-up.

-[laughs] -Nice move, Chris.

Totally didn't see it coming.

-[groans] -That was peak.

[chuckles] Yeah.

-Are you okay? -[sighs] I'm sorry.

I should have passed it. I just keep hearing my father in my head.

He always pushes me to put my own success ahead

of others because no one's gonna do it for me.

He sounds like a man who wants the best for his daughter.

[soft music playing]

Uh, I� I should go.

The others are probably wondering where I am.

-[Tracy] Oh, Hunter. Boo-hoo. -Huh?

She's never going to let you get close to her.

Nerissa has a dark secret she doesn't want you or anyone to know.

I can prove it to you, if you really want the truth.

Huh?

-You know what? We should do this again. -[music concludes]

-Hold on. Whoa! [groans] Sorry about that. -[gasps]

No, my fault. [chuckles] Well, see you around.

Next time, let's try not to crush into each other.

[chuckles] No promises.

Anyway, now that you crushed rollerblading,

how about we get you on a skateboard?

[children giggle]

[soft music playing]

We should check on Fred's progress.

I'm anxious to find my Nixie and lift the Sea Witch's spell.

You're going to find her. I know you will.

[chuckles]

Have you given any thought to what happens after?

Once you've brought the cure to your father

and everyone in Mertropia is safe?

I'll go back to the kingdom, I guess.

Although, I like it here on the surface.

I like you here on the surface, too.

-[music concludes] -[car horn honks]

-It's Fred. -He must have found the location.

[gentle music playing]

You have Mermaid Magic, Celia. Just give it time.

And I bet the trident that goes with your ring is super sparkly.

[cellphone pings]

[chuckles] Look! Tracy tagged us in her HeyYou! story!

-Rolling Thunder! -[Tracy chuckling]

These two weirdos have bubbles, all right. Bubbles in their brains. [laughing]

You know what?

You should make your own video, making fun of her.

No.

She�s trying to pick a HeyYou! fight with me,

but I'm going to win her over with kindness.

-[laughs] -[music concludes]

[hums]

-That's a beautiful melody. -Huh?

-Oh, I didn't realize I was� -[sentimental music playing]

Are you sensing your mother again?

No, not exactly.

This song always makes me feel close to her, though.

Hmm.

-[Hunter groans] -[tense music playing]

You sure you're not making this secret stuff up

because you like Tyler and you're jealous of Merlinda and her friends?

[laughs] Me? Jealous of Merlinda? Please.

[scoffs] I'm Tracy Redd. Nerissa has a secret.

Even you must sense it, Hunter.

Just because she hasn't told me much

about her life yet doesn't mean she has some dark secret.

-[sighs] Men! You're all so naive! -[screams]

[device pings]

This is it. We're here.

-Ready? -[both grunt]

Huh?

[dramatic music playing]

Looks like we're in the right place.

[growls]

-Huh? -[gasps]

-[growls] -[music builds]

You know what to do! [grunts] Water Wall!

Bubbleburst!

Thunderbolt!

[jellyfishes groan]

[music softens]

-Huh? -[Sasha gasps]

-Aw, poor little jelly looks sad. -Without its tendrils, it'll starve.

[laughs]

Who wants us to follow?

Wow, something really big tore its way out of this thing.

It's a cocoon.

[Merlinda] Huh? My Nixie was in it.

But what came out of it?

Maybe she turned into a beautiful butterfly fish?

Whatever she is now, we have no way of knowing where she went.

Maybe we do.

I happen to know the best little tracker in all the seven seas.

[barks]

[Sasha] Beau Jr.! Today is your day to shine!

We've got this piece of the cocoon. He should be able to get a scent.

Find my Nixie, Beau Jr.!

[sniffs, barks]

Guys, this is gonna be an earth-shattering event.

What is it now, Tracy?

I'm about to blow up your little crush.

-Merlinda is a mermaid! -[gasps]

And I have an eyewitness to prove it.

-Tell them, Hunter. -[chuckles]

Um�

[all gasp]

Tell them, Hunter.

[laughs]

Actually, uh, there was a serious glare on the water and I forgot my shades.

I didn't see anything.

[grunts]

Me and Chris are getting a game of hoops going later.

You should come.

Hmm�

-[groans] -Tracy!

Loved your post earlier. That outfit was super cute.

-We should do a collab. -[sighs]

Your videos are dumb and embarrassing and no, I don't want to do a collab.

-[grunts] -Huh?

-Sasha, you okay? -Seriously, just say the word.

No, I can handle her.

Besides, right now we've got priorities.

-Beau Jr., resume tracking! -[barks, sniffs]

[suspenseful music playing]

This isn't over yet, Merlinda.

[sniffs, barks]

We must be close.

What is it, Beau Jr.?

Huh�

[Sea Witch cackles]

-[all gasp] -[cackles]

-Nope, definitely not a butterfly. -Game on, girls.

[all] Pearl power!

["Shine & Glow" playing]

? You got the power to love You got the strength to be tough ?

? You got the magic When the pearl's by your side ?

? Under the moon down below Mermaids will shine and glow ?

? You got the magic When the pearl's by your side ?

? Strong as the ocean's spirit, we unite ?

Well, well, well, what do you have there, Merlinda?

Just something to save my Nixie, you witch.

-[tense music playing] -I wouldn't count on it.

You're coming with me, Merlinda.

-Attack! -[growls]

Ocean Shield!

[grunts]

Get Merlinda!

[both grunt]

[groans]

[grunts]

-[growls] -[girls grunt]

-[groans] -Beau Jr.!

[gasps]

-No! -[groans]

[gasps]

[uplifting music playing]

Huh?

Not just any Mermaid Magic! Sand magic! [chuckles]

-I knew you had powers! -[grunts]

[growls]

Jelly, stop! I don't want to fight you!

-I know you're good! You have to remember! -[growls]

[groans]

-[grunts] -[groans]

-[grunts] -[cellphone pings]

Nerissa, be careful!

[gasps] Yes!

[Nerissa grunts]

[grunts]

Throw me the Essence!

-Let's get unpredictable! [grunts] -[growls]

[grunts]

-It's working! Give it more! -Huh?

[grunts]

[screams] I got it! I finally got video!

That's right, Merlinda!

I'm about to expose you to the entire world!

-[Tracy cackles] -Tracy, no!

-Get out of here! It's not safe! -Wait till my followers see this!

[groans]

[laughs] Withdraw your power! Now!

[sighs]

[growls]

This girl's fate is in your hands.

If you come with me now to the Vault of the Deep, I'll let her go.

But if you resist�

-[Tracy groans] -No! Stop!

Hmm?

I'll go with you.

[chuckles]

-No! -Huh?

-Merlinda? No! You can't! -It's my decision.

I'm your princess, and you must honor it.

My only regret is that I didn�t get to play "Ping-Pong" with Petey.

-[grunts] -[Monster Nixie growls]

Petey. Ping-Pong.

[all gasp]

[music concludes]

["Embrace Our Power" playing]

?Time to come alive Embrace your power ?

? Yeah, you know that deep inside That it's your calling ?

? Calling us into the magic hour ?

? Yeah, we're swimming up Yeah, we're going up, up ?

? Time to come alive Embrace your power ?

? Yeah, you know that deep inside That it's your calling ?

? Calling us into the magic hour ?

? Yeah, we're swimming up Yeah, we're going up, up ?

? La la la la la la la la la ?
