The Mermaid's Song

"The Mermaid's Song" is the first segment of the thirty-fourth episode of Jake and the Never Land Pirates. It premiered on June 29, 2012 alongside "Treasure of the Tides", and is the first segment of the ninth episode in the second season.
==Synopsis==
It's the day before the "Treasure of the Tides" ceremony, where the mermaids give a special honor to one of their own. Jake and his crew volunteer to help get ready in time. Marina the Mermaid's little sister Stormy, wants to go surfing, rather than helping out. Marina tells her that she can go surfing after she helps, so she provides her three Mer-tasks to do: #1 Collect seashells for decorations, #2 Pick seaweed for a salad, and #3 gather coconuts for dessert. Jake tells Marina while she's away, he and his crew can make instruments for the ceremony. The others leave and Stormy gets ready to do her work.
During her search for seashells, Stormy meets Snappy the Hermit Crab, who wants to come along. Then they see Captain Hook nearby, Stormy wishes that he can collect seashells for her and she had an idea. She tells Snappy about the Mermaid's Song; when someone hears it, they're hypnotized into doing whatever the mermaid requests them to do. She warns him to cover his ears, so he won't hear it. She sings for Hook to collect seashells, and gives him a bag to carry them in. Then Mr. Smee comes out looking for the captain, and Stormy sings for him to pick seaweed, and gives him a basket for the seaweed. All she has to do now is gather coconuts. She sees Cubby, who's sitting under a tree about to eat a banana, and remembers what he said: "Helping mermaids is always fun". So she sings for him to gather coconuts, and stack them up anywhere. Snappy doesn't like what she is doing, so he goes off to tell Marina about the situation.
Meanwhile, Jake, Skully, and Izzy are putting together instruments. They see that Cubby didn't finish his coconut drum, so they go looking for him.
Later, they see Hook on a cliff, collecting seashells. Jake can't get through to him, so they push a giant sponge under him, and catch him. Izzy wonders what's wrong with Hook. But when she claps her hands, Hook wakes up. Then they see Smee walk over the to the octopus, enraging the sleeping beast, who grabs Smee and Hook and juggles them. Jake rescues Hook and Smee by giving the octopus other things to juggle, and Smee wakes up afterward and Hook wondered what's going on. Cubby comes in piling up coconuts, which begin to tip over. Izzy quickly throws pixie dust on the coconuts to hold them in midair, saving Cubby. Jake and Izzy see Cubby's eyes, and realize something is wrong. Marina appeared with Snappy, and tells them that the only way to break the Mermaid's Song spell is to clap their hands. She claps, and Cubby wakes up. Hook wants to know who (as in which mermaid) would ask them to do such things. Marina figures that it had to be Stormy, who then rises up from the Never Sea. Marina tells her what happened. Stormy realizes that Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and Cubby didn't like being used for selfish reasons, and apologizes for her actions. Marina reminds her that the Mermaid's Song should be used to help others and should never be used selfishly.
Back on Pirate Island, Cubby points out that the crew has lots of coconuts (the ones he gathered for Stormy while hypnotized)--way too many.
Meanwhile, at the Jolly Roger, Sharky and Bones are using the Mermaid's Song to hypnotize Hook as he swabs the deck for them.
