It works and when the girls surface at the Moon Pool, Denman is there waiting for them and traps them. Zane too is there – totally gobsmacked that Rikki is one of the mermaids. When Denman zeroes in on the girls to do some testing Zane sneaks off to get Lewis who helps him free the girls. Denman and Harrison are livid. Miss Chatham tells the girls that people will keep hunting for them unless they give up their powers – they can do it tonight in the moon pool during the lunar eclipse. They do.
