Synopsis

When the Eastern mermaid Weilan frees one of Ondina's little mermaid students from a net, Ondina and Weilan clash. On the night of the full moon, Joe and David go fishing in open water. The mermaids are also in the water when they encounter a terrifying Water Dragon. Joe unwittingly distracts the dragon, allowing the mermaids to escape. Weilan explains that this dragon destroyed the Eastern pod and will do the same to them.

Plot

Veridia gives Ondina a special job befitting her talents - teaching the pod's little mermaids, one of whom goes off on her own and gets into trouble. Weilan, a mermaid from Shanghai, joins the pod. Ondina and Weilan immediately clash and Mimmi must act as peacemaker. On the night of the full moon, Joe and David go fishing in open water. The mermaids are also in the water when they encounter a terrifying Water Dragon. Zac shares a vision with his sister and rushes with Weilan to come help. Joe unwittingly distracts the dragon, allowing the mermaids to escape. Weilan explains that this dragon destroyed the Eastern pod and will do the same to them.

Quotes

Mimmi: Right. And Evie's boyfriend, Zac, is my brother. He's a merman.

Weilan: Your brother is a merman? This I have to see.

Weilan: So you're a merman? Huh!

Zac: What?

Weilan: Nothing, it's just... I thought you'd be bigger.

Cam: You okay?

Zac: Mimmi's in danger.

Weilan: What?

Zac: It looks... like a dragon.

Weilan: Oh, no.

Zac: I have to go.
