Recipe For Success is the 3rd episode of season 3 of Mako: Island of Secrets.

Synopsis[]

Weilan casts a knowledge transference spell on Zac Blakely to help him pass a biology test. But more than just science facts transfer from her body to his!

Plot[]

Mimmi discovers Arctic Sea lavender growing. While Rita, Weilan, and Evie are at school, Mimmi cooks Arctic marshmallow and follows her recipe closely. It turns out wonderfully and Ondina says she could do it too, even though she normally just makes up recipes as she goes. At "land school," Zac is doing poorly in Ms. Trumble's class and Weilan, who is a straight "A" student, is seated next to him from now on. She agrees to help him study but, even with her help, he just can't seem to remember the information. At Zac's behest, Weilan does a knowledge transference spell on him but it doesn't appear to work. The next morning, Zac and Weilan's hair has swapped! They take the test, and Zac gets a 98, which makes Ms. Trumble suspicious that he has cheated. She brings him into Rita's office and has called his father, the head of the school board. Meanwhile, Cam and Evie try to help Weilan remember what she did so the spell can be reversed. Unfortunately, she feels like her brain has been drained. Zac's father assures Ms. Trumble that he is not a cheat. Suddenly Zac's voice begins to sound like Weilan's voice. They all agree that Zac will retake the test. Back at Rita's grotto, Ondina tries to make Arctic marshmallow but it blows up in her face, literally. After Weilan's voice starts sounding like Zac's, the girls brainstorm. Ondina and Mimmi figure out that they should use the Baltic Sea plankton, like in the Arctic marshmallow recipe, to stop the transference. They do the procedure in the Moon Pool and Ondina impatiently throws it in. The next morning, Zac is back to normal just in time to take Mrs. Trumble's retest. He passes with a C+ and Ondina presents the gang with the Arctic marshmallow she made.
