Trust Issues is the 12th episode of season 3 of Mako: Island of Secrets.
Synopsis[]
When Mimmi and Chris go on a date at the beach, Ondina goes to great lengths to protect her. Cam tries to lure more upscale customers to the cafe.
Plot[]
When Chris finally asks Mimmi out on a date, she happily accepts. Although Weilan is delighted for her, Ondina is completely against the idea. As Mimmi enjoys a day at the beach with Chris, Ondina follows them in an attempt to protect her despite Weilan's insistence to back off. As Mimmi and Chris are about to kiss, Ondina creates a rainstorm forcing Mimmi to flee. Later, Ondina admits to Weilan that she ruined Mimmi's date because her own previous relationship with Erik ended in heartbreak and she does not want to see Mimmi suffer the same way. After comforting her, Weilan convinces Ondina that Mimmi needs to be free to make her own decisions. Although Ondina admits what she did and apologizes, Mimmi decides to not pursue a relationship with Chris out of guilt for lying to him. Meanwhile, Cam attempts to change the image of the cafe in order to attract more sophisticated and wealthier customers despite hesitance from Evie, David, and Carly. As they try to arrange a formal party, no one shows up much to Cam's disappointment. Carly convinces Cam that the cafe is fine the way it is and they draw in a crowd after making the party more laid-back. Weilan and Ondina get Chris and Mimmi to come to the party in an attempt to bring them back together. After steering away from the party to talk, Chris and Mimmi admit their true feelings for each other and finally become a couple after sharing a kiss.
Quotes[]
- Weilan: Even if Chris turned out to be like Erik, Mimmi would never thank you for interfering.
- Ondina: I'm not interfering. I'm protecting her.
- Weilan: You can't protect her forever. Mimmi has to make her own mistakes, like you did. And you have to let her swim her own path.

Trivia[]
- This is the only mention of Erik during season three.
- It's revealed Ondina isn't over Erik and has had trust issues since then. So she ruined Mimmi's date with Chris; under the mistaken assumption she was keeping her from the same heartbreak.
- Mimmi is shown to own a bikini, which is a first for the natural mermaids. Possibly Mimmi spends time enjoying beach activities and needed something more appropriate for physical activity; seeing as she prefers dresses.
