My Best Girl's Wedding

Episode Number: 102    Season Num: 5    First Aired: Monday May 10, 1999    Prod Code: V0727
Iolaus 2 was shocked to learn that Nautica, his mermaid love, had been given legs and was about to marry Lysaka. Hercules went to see Triton to get to the heart of the matter, and found his former wife, Serena. They discovered Lysaka had stolen Triton's trident, the source of his power, and Nautica was marrying Lysaka to get it back. Hercules got the Cabiri to fashion a new trident, then left Serena to return to Iolaus. When Aphrodite offered to make Iolaus a merman so he could be with Nautica, he agreed and said good-bye to Hercules once more.

"Character development"
Iolaus II learns to his shock that his beloved Nautica is being forced into marrying a goon. Meanwhile, Hercules runs into his former wife Serena, who does not recognise him from this time-line. Other than some silly moments, a pretty good episode...
