When they enter an underground pool of water that leads to the ocean they find themselves bathed in the glow of moonlight from overhead. After being rescued the girls return to their normal lives but soon discover they have changed : seconds after contact with water they transform into mermaids. After further experimentation, they discover they also have unique supernatural powers over water. Emma can freeze water, Cleo can control the shape and volume of water, and Rikki can boil water. The girls enlist Cleo 's long - time friend Lewis McCartney ( Angus McLaren ) to try to determine why this has happened to them and help them keep their new identity a secret. The series focuses on the girls dealing with everyday teen problems while trying to cope with their newfound abilities. The first series features a single primary storyline with three main elements. The girls meet Louise Chatham ( Christine Amor ), an older woman who reveals that she too was once a mermaid. She helps the girls understand their own situation and warns them of the dangers involved. After a confrontation with Ms. Chatham, Zane Bennett ( Burgess Abernethy ) gets trapped on her sinking houseboat which forces Emma to rush to his aid. During the rescue, Zane catches a glimpse of her tail and becomes obsessed with finding this `` sea monster ''. Doctor Denman ( Lara Cox ), a marine biologist, also becomes focused on the mermaids when Lewis accidentally leaves behind a genetic sample of the girls he was working on in her lab. Zane later helps her to capture the girls, unaware of their true identities. When he realises what he has done, Zane works with Lewis to free the girls who trick the scientists into believing they have given up their powers during a lunar eclipse. In reality, they were only temporarily removed of their powers.

Once there, they discover a hidden, underground cavern, and inside it, a deep pool of water, sitting within the cone of a volcano. Realising that the pool, which has an underwater tunnel connected to the ocean, is their only way out, the girls step into the water and find themselves bathed in the light of the full moon as it passes over the top of the volcano. Little do they know, as they swim out of the tunnel and are rescued by the water police, that they have undergone a magical transformation, and their lives will never be the same again.

Meanwhile, Cleo wants to tell her friend, Lewis, about her powers, but Emma and Rikki forbid it. However, Cleo might need his help after all when she takes a risk and attends Miriam 's pool party... and gets thrown in the pool by prankster Zane Bennett and his pal Nate, just as Lewis arrives. Lewis discovers that the girls are mermaids but promises to keep their secret. 03 `` Catch of the Day '' Colin Budds Simon Butters 21 July 2006 ( 2006 - 07 - 21 ) 103 Emma and Rikki use their new - found abilities to free hatchling sea turtles caught in fishing nets. But when they shred one of the nets with a knife, they spark stories of sharks patrolling the waters. Meanwhile, Emma and Rikki have bad news for Cleo ; the fishing boat that caught the turtle in its net was her father 's. Refusing to believe that her father is illegally catching turtles, Cleo swims after his boat to investigate and at last accepts what she is.

She and Lewis travel back to Mako Island to try to find out how the girls were transformed into mermaids, and Emma finds a mysterious locket at the bottom of the Moon Pool, and thinks that it may be important. Meanwhile, Cleo gets a job at the marine park 's dolphin tank, and Emma is furious with her for taking such risks around water. But Cleo 's determination to lead a normal life without being scared of every drop of water she sees convinces Emma, who reschedules her sleepover. But there is trouble in store when Miriam, upset that she was n't invited to Emma 's party, gate crashes with Zane. At the party, Cleo gets water on herself, and has to hide in a closet, but when the other girls at the party open the door, she has already managed to zip herself up inside a sleeping bag. The girls, however, almost feel Cleo 's tail, and she has to use her power to blow up the drinks as a distraction. Jealous Miriam then tries to steal Emma 's locket, but Rikki stops her, and gives it back to Emma. Emma then gives it to Cleo, saying that a mermaid who can hide her tail in the middle of a party is more than capable of taking care of so important a locket. Also, Cleo is confused when she is approached at the marine park by a strange old woman who seems to know her secret. 05 `` Something Fishy '' Colin Budds Joanne Watson 4 August 2006 ( 2006 - 08 - 04 ) 105 Cleo 's secret diary falls into the hands of her younger sister, Kim.

At first, Elliot does n't believe her ; but when Emma accidentally freezes his shower, Elliot becomes convinced that his sister is part of an evil mermaid cult. To put the kids off the scent, the girls decide to make them think that the diary is about someone else, and choose Miriam as their decoy, using their powers to make it look as though Miriam has powers of her own. Meanwhile, an oblivious Miriam enters the Miss Sea Queen pageant, and taunts Cleo, who decides to enter the pageant herself -- unaware that Kim and Elliot are planning to shower the stage with water to expose Miriam and Cleo as mermaids.

Cleo, Rikki and Lewis try to keep her under control, but Emma ends up diving into the water, and turning into a mermaid. Worse still, when the others dry her off, her tail wo n't go away.

But he instead ends up putting their secret in danger, when he leaves a DNA sample from Cleo behind in the lab, and Dr. Denman discovers it. The girls realise that they are really in trouble when Cleo sneaks into Dr. Denman 's lab, and discovers a scientific article on Dr. Denman 's laptop about her unusual cell sample. With Lewis refusing to believe that Dr. Denman stole the cell sample from him ( partly because he has a crush on her ), Emma, Rikki and Cleo 's secret could be about to be exposed to the world. 09 `` Dangerous Waters '' Colin Budds Anthony Morris 1 September 2006 ( 2006 - 09 - 01 ) 109 When one of Cleo 's beloved fish dies, Rikki ca n't understand why she is so upset, and ends up offending her.

Rikki takes the job, but when she sees one of the fish she caught in a pet tank in the JuiceNet cafe, she realises that the man who hired her does not really work for the Marine Park, and is actually selling the fish illegally for high profit.

Rikki and Cleo are roped into doing a film about Emma 's mother, but Rikki, thinking that the film is boring, sneaks off to shoot her own film, featuring some impressive underwater footage of sharks. Meanwhile, Zane, ineligible to compete himself, as his father is on the judging panel, recruits Lewis to shoot a film of him windsurfing around Mako Island, recreating ( and hopefully beating ), his father 's windsurfing record of several years before. But things do n't go to plan, when Zane falls off his windsurfer, right in the middle of Mako Island 's shark breeding ground. 11 `` Sink or Swim '' Colin Budds Max Dann 15 September 2006 ( 2006 - 09 - 15 ) 111 Emma is flattered when local surfing hero, Byron, asks her to train him up for a swimming competition, but has to turn him down for obvious reasons.

But Byron is disappointed when Emma turns into a ' heavy training dragon ', and the pair nearly fall out. Emma takes advice from her friends not to be so hard on Byron, but by being nice to him, she gives him the wrong idea, and they end up kissing. Meanwhile, Lewis continues his research on the girls, but Rikki does not like him treating her as a specimen, and tries to annoy him by disrupting his experiments. 12 `` The Siren Effect '' Colin Budds Susan MacGillicuddy 22 September 2006 ( 2006 - 09 - 22 ) 112 As another full moon approaches, Rikki pushes Cleo into a karaoke contest at the JuiceNet cafe, not realising that Cleo can not sing.

But despite all their preparations, Cleo glimpses the moon in the reflection of some water in the bathroom sink, but when she touches the water, she does n't turn into a mermaid. Cleo then stands before everyone in the house, and, to Rikki and Emma 's surprise, sings with the most beautiful voice imaginable. Lewis realises that the full moon has turned Cleo into a siren -- a mythological mermaid that used its mesmerising voice to lure sailors to their deaths. Cleo 's voice, however, seems to be luring hundreds of teenage boys to her house, and under the spell of her voice, Lewis kisses her, and is thrown out by her father. It is then up to Emma and Rikki to keep Cleo out of trouble until the moon sinks ; but, while they both sleep, Cleo phones up the local radio station, and gets her voice on the radio. 13 `` Shipwrecked '' Colin Budds Philip Dalkin 28 September 2006 ( 2006 - 09 - 28 ) 113 At the local boat yard, Emma finally meets the mysterious old woman who has been following Cleo around ; Miss Chatham.

As she is taken away in an ambulance, Zane hears her muttering to Emma that she needs to protect her ' treasure '. Later, Emma invites the fragile Miss Chatham to stay with her, and she, Cleo and Rikki get to know her better. But upon hearing that she has been evicted from the boat yard, Miss Chatham sets off in the Lorelei before it can be taken away from her but she accidentally damages Zane 's Jet Ski. Zane chases after her in his Zodiac pontoon boat, catches up with the Lorelei near Mako Island, and boards the Lorelei. He demands compensation for his damaged jet ski, but Miss Chatham passes out with another heart attack. Emma and Lewis arrive just in time to help Miss Chatham and take her to seek medical care on Lewis ' boat. Zane stays aboard the Lorelei, searching for the treasure. Kerosene from a lamp ignites on the Lorelei 's engine, and the boat begins to sink, trapping Zane. Emma is forced to dive down to the sinking boat in order to save Zane, and risks him discovering that she is a mermaid, but he just glimpses her tail before he passes out. Emma returns Miss Chatham 's `` treasure '' to her, and it turns out to be a locket ( identical to Cleo 's ), containing a picture of three teenage girls ; herself and her friends Julia and Gracie, who were all mermaids back in the 1950s ( Cleo 's locket belonged to Miss Chatham 's friend Gracie ). 14 `` Surprise !

But with Emma being a megalomaniac manager, and Rikki a lazy employee, things do n't work out, and Rikki quits after Emma gives her a hard time for being rude to demanding customer Miriam. While the girls argue, the scheming Miriam sneaks into the JuiceNet 's Cool Room, and turns up the temperature, in an attempt to get Rikki and Emma fired.

Knowing that they would not last five minutes in the hospital without someone discovering their secret, the girls must try to think a way out of their elaborate lie... without getting into trouble with their families. 18 `` Bad Moon Rising '' Jeffrey Walker Sam Carroll 3 November 2006 ( 2006 - 11 - 03 ) 118 Haunted by his experience with the `` sea monster '', Zane presses on with his investigations, and is soon led to Mako Island.

But taking care of Angela brings on challenges of its own, as it appears she is a spoiled brat, who is determined to get what she wants, and, worst of all, has a fondness for water. Rather than taking Angela to the beach to go body boarding, Cleo instead takes her to the safety of the marine park to look at the pelicans Kim is so fond of. But things soon turn bad, when Angela goes missing, and Cleo and the others find a pelican in her house, which Cleo accuses Kim of stealing from the marine park.

With Nate and the rest of the contestants laughing at him, Cleo feels sorry for Lewis, and tries to help him by deliberately putting a huge fish on the end of his line. But her plan backfires when it is revealed that the fish she chose was a deep - sea tuna, a fish impossible to catch with an ordinary fishing rod from the shore.

Deciding she needs a change, Emma asks Cleo to dye her hair, but is horrified when Cleo accidentally dyes it a bright red. However, the girls discover that, as Emma was a mermaid when she dyed her hair ( as dyeing hair involves water ), her hair only becomes red when she has her tail. Meanwhile, Zane 's investigations into his sea monster mystery lead him to Miss Chatham, and he becomes convinced that she knows something. At first, the girls are unconcerned, as Zane has no evidence that Miss Chatham knows anything ; but when they discover that Zane is planning to dive down to Miss Chatham 's wrecked houseboat, Miss Chatham tells them of some old photographs of her and her mermaid friends, locked in a metal chest on board. Emma chooses to swim out to the wreck to salvage the photographs, before Zane finds them. But as she swims out of the wreck, Zane sees her ( but luckily does n't recognise her because of her red hair ). When the girls find out that Zane now knows about mermaids, Rikki tracks Zane down and says she will be his girlfriend, provided he stops his mermaid hunt.

After her friends pester her about it, Rikki finally confesses that she and Zane are going out, and Emma and Cleo, fearing that Rikki will tell Zane their secret, tell her to dump him. Rikki refuses, and she and the others fall out ; but when Zane 's father unveils plans to turn Mako Island into a holiday resort, and Zane fails to stand up to him, Rikki begins to wonder whether she made the wrong choice. 23 `` In Too Deep '' Jeffrey Walker Simon Butters 8 December 2006 ( 2006 - 12 - 08 ) 123 Rikki is amazed when she sees a locket in a jeweller 's shop identical to Cleo 's and Miss Chatham 's. Miss Chatham reveals that the locket belonged to her friend Julia, the third original mermaid, and Rikki and the others begin searching for the money to buy it for her. But Zane makes a mistake when he lets slip to ex-girlfriend Miriam that Rikki was looking at the locket, and Miriam buys it just to spite her. But another problem comes to the girls ' attention when Miss Chatham tells the story of how Julia -- a girl with a fiery nature identical to Rikki 's -- trusted her wealthy boyfriend with her mermaid secret, only to have him betray her. She and the girls are worried that Rikki will make the same mistake of having too much trust in Zane, but when Zane retrieves the locket for Rikki after Miriam throws it in the water, they are relieved to see that she carefully dries the locket before touching it, meaning that she is not willing to share her secret with Zane. The girls give Julia 's locket to Miss Chatham, but she gives it to Rikki, and then gives her own locket to Emma, saying that it is right that they are all together. 24 `` Love Potion # 9 '' Jeffrey Walker Anthony Morris 15 December 2006 ( 2006 - 12 - 15 ) 124 With the school 's end of year dance approaching, Emma takes up the stressful job of heading up the dance committee. But, while the tough task of organising the dance is bad enough on her nerves, she is also flattened by the news that Byron, who she was hoping would ask her to the dance, is already going with Ice Queen Miriam. Cleo is also disappointed that Lewis is too caught up in his experiments to ask her to the dance, and, rather than go alone, she is forced to ask Nate. The only upside is that Lewis, after days of research and testing, has come up with a formula to make the girls ' skin waterproof, and they no longer have to worry about getting wet. But, as the wise Miss Chatham declares, science and magic can not mix, and Lewis ' formula gives the girls an allergic reaction where their skin turns red, and they are forced to flee the dance. Things turn out well in the end, however, as Cleo finally admits to Lewis how she feels about him, and they become a couple. 25 `` Dr. Danger '' Jeffrey Walker Sam Carroll 22 December 2006 ( 2006 - 12 - 22 ) 125 Emma is forced to drop out of her family 's annual holiday to a water park resort, which upsets her parents and annoys her little brother. But she and the other girls have much more to worry about, when Lewis and Cleo spot their old enemy Dr. Denman 's boat anchored near Mako Island. Returning to follow up her discovery of cells that mutate on contact with water ( a DNA sample from Cleo that Lewis accidentally left behind in her lab ), Dr. Denman and her team of divers investigate Mako Island, and soon discover the Moon Pool -- and what is worse, they also find a scale from one of the mermaids ' tails. After performing some tests on the scale, Dr. Denman sees that it is identical to the cell sample she stole from Lewis, and realises that he is strongly connected to the whole thing. But she gets even closer to the girls ' secret when she meets Zane, and hears his story of the mermaid he saw. At first, Dr. Denman does n't believe a word Zane says ; but when her underwater cameras set up around the entrance to the Moon Pool capture images of Emma, Rikki and Cleo, she and Zane 's wealthy father team up to capture the mermaids ( although they decide not to tell Zane that one of the mermaids is actually Rikki ). 26 `` A Twist in the Tail '' Jeffrey Walker Philip Dalkin 29 December 2006 ( 2006 - 12 - 29 ) 126 Now that the mermaids have been identified, Dr. Denman continues her pursuit of them by holding Lewis hostage on her boat and using his mobile phone to lure the girls to the Moon Pool, where she traps them. After discovering that the three mermaids are in fact Rikki and her friends, Zane is left torn about where his loyalties lie ; with his father, or with Rikki. Eventually, his conscience leads him to set Lewis and the girls free ( much to his father and Dr. Denman 's annoyance ), but the mermaids are not out of trouble yet. Knowing that Dr. Denman and the scientists will still come after them, the girls must make a tough decision. Miss Chatham tells them of the forthcoming lunar eclipse, and says that, if they enter the Moon Pool when the eclipse passes over it, it will draw their powers away from them. As normal girls, the three of them would be of no interest to the scientists, and would be out of danger. The girls make the choice to enter the pool, and while their powers seem to vanish completely, the next morning they find they 've become mermaids again : the eclipse only affected them for 12 hours. Series two ( 2007 -- 08 ) A full moon, in conjunction with a rare planetary alignment, calls the girls to the moon pool at Mako Island where their powers are greatly augmented and strengthened.

Charlotte travels to the moon pool during a full moon and becomes the fourth mermaid in possession of all the girls ' powers. Believing herself superior, she and the girls become sworn enemies. This conflict results in a confrontation during an especially powerful full moon, which ends with Charlotte being permanently stripped of her mermaid form and abilities. Series two also focuses on the romantic entanglements of the girls. Cleo breaks up with Lewis for being too clingy and protective after which he dates Charlotte. Rikki and Zane start dating again after breaking up during the series one finale. Emma meets Ash ( Craig Horner ) and flirts with him but he is frustrated by the secrets she constantly holds back. She eventually relents and tells him that she is a mermaid.

The two are disgusted by the liquid 's foul smell, and abandon the bottle on a table outside the JuiceNet cafe... where it is unfortunately found by the odious Nate, who apparently likes the smell, and sprays some on himself.

They travel to Mako Island, and confront the tentacle, this time without fear, and realise that it is not trying to harm them, but get a message to them. The girls all place their crystal necklaces in a hole in the cave wall, triggering a projection to appear in the air.

Meanwhile, the cafe is in danger of going bankrupt, and Sophie is searching for ways to earn more money. She gets her chance when Ryan ( who is annoyed that Sam has ended his research on Mako Island ), spots the crystal in Bella 's necklace, and tells her that it might be valuable.
