Mopping Up is the 4th episode of season 3 of Mako: Island of Secrets.
Synopsis[]
When Evie tries to using her new moon ring to magically finish her chores, things quickly get out of control. Joe makes an upsetting announcement.
Plot[]
Evie wants someone to teach her how to use her Moon Ring safely. Mimmi elects Ondina and her first lesson is moving a mortar and pestle in the grotto. Weilan heckles that Ondina's lesson is ordinary and tells Evie about tricks her Pod did for fun. Mimmi then tells of when she and Ondina first got theirs and would "freezy scare" local fishermen. At the Ocean Café, Zac and Cam hear David arguing with his brother Joe because he has made the decision to close the café. Evie's father Doug reminds her that she's been slacking on her chores and tasks her with cleaning the kitchen and doing all the piled up dishes. She uses the power of her Moon Ring to mop but it soon seems to have a mind of its own. Zac and Cam brainstorm ways Carly and Evie won't lose their jobs. Zac, Ondina, Mimmi, and Weilan arrive to help Evie but the mop gets loose. Cam approaches Joe with a business proposition. Ondina, Mimmi, and Weilan use "freezy scare" to destroy the mop. Cam debuts Carly and the house band's performance after announcing his new co-ownership with David.

Trivia[]
- This is the first time Evie is shown using her moon ring without help.
- According to Mimmi, when she and Ondina first received their Moon Rings, they froze water shaped in form of gigantic sea creatures, put them in front of boats and shatter them to see the fishermen react. Ondina even named the trick "Freezy Scare."
- The mop incident is similar to the silent segment in the Disney musical movie "Fantasia" where Mickey Mouse misused magic, gave a broom life to collect water from the well that ultimately led to disaster that his master, Master Yen Sid, had to resolve.
