    I feel terribly sorry for Emma, Rikki and Cleo. We finnaly find out that Zane does not get along with his dad that well and that is really awful. Zane finally stops being a jerk and spoiled and starts doing something useful and that is really good. Lewis gets locked up and Zane comes to save the day with Lewis and come up with a cool plan and save the girls from the evil hands of Dr.Denman and they get saved and everyone is safe and Zane's father changes for the better. The end was really funny how Cleo pushed Lewis into the water and how Lewis was being controlled and flowted with water by Cleo's power because he didn't tell them that they only lost there power for 12 hours.moreless

    i liked this ep..it was very interesting from the beginning to the end..its interesting how all boats or most of the boats on the show all look alike and i didnt see any difference btw the boat (the white boat) she had and the other boats they are always showing just as views..i dont really get it..but yeah u can say danger like right away..hello big time trouble and then zane and his dad were involved and i was proud of both zane and his dad when they found out it was the girls b/c hes known them for a long time and didnt wanna see this happen to them..and then poor lewis was gullible and continued talking to denman and got locked up while she went after the girls..then the girls get free and they think theyve got rid of their powers forever..but theyre wrongmoreless

    The end of season 1 was great! Dr. Denman captures the girls as mermaids, but thanx to Zane, they escape. She's not going to give up on this, until she sees them forfeit their powers and mermaid lives. It's over, no more mermaids...or so they thought. This was an exciting episode, and a great ending. too bad that Zane and Rikki fell out of love. He's developed alot this season, from a spoiled rotten rich kid, to a good man. Now his dad has seen the light, and wants to care about his son more than real estate.
    Can't wait to see Season 2!moreless

  • The Battle of the Mermaids!

    They have hidden from boyfriends, family members and doctors, they have battled against criminals, now it's time for the ultimate showdown!

    Dr. Denman and Harrison are worried about Zane, and the girls are worried when Dr Denman calls Lewis onto her boat. But he becomes a trap and the girls are left in the moon pool where the devilous marine biologist keeps them for testing. Now it's up to Zane to save the day, but will the shock of finally finding his mermaid prevent him from saving the girls?

    BOOM BOOM BOOM! That's my heart beating while watching this episodes. Every second of it was fast paced and full of tension and excitment. The ending was well done, and the battle against the scientists was great.moreless
