## Summary

The beginning of the episode begins with Gaito grumbling about how the Dark Lovers continue to fail at capturing the Mermaid Princess's with Sheshe and Mimi commenting on how pathetic they are saying they would have fired them a long time ago. The sisters add insult to injury by flirting with each other in front of them, and humiliating the four by making them beg. After the torment was over, Maria shivered and felt fed up with the way she's being treated. Afterwards, Sara shows up and suggests that Gaito see how his other-half,Kaito lives, with Sara noting how Gaito seems empty inside. Meanwhile. the Dark Lovers are heading for the surface with Maria noting that she's bound to fail if she sticks with the others and needs to find a way to get Gaito interested in her again, she then realizes she can use Kaito as the way to get closer to Gaito.

The episode cuts to Hanon & Lucia at the end of the school day, as they are about to leave Kaito reminds Lucia that she is the helper for the week, whilst the two are studying together, dark clouds loom over the school and it begins to rain and a large bang of thunder frightens Lucia. She realizes she can't head out into the rain as Kaito will realize she's a mermaid so she decides to stay a while longer as Kaito goes to look for some umbrella's. As Lucia waits outside, Kaito (soaked in rain) appears, Lucia wonders why he only brought one umbrella instead of two but heads off anyways, suddenly another Kaito with softer eyes appears with two umbrella's and wonders why Lucia left without him.

As Lucia & Kaito walk along Lucia wonders why he's so quiet, he then grabs her shoulder and stares deeply at her, Lucia starts to feel scared by his presence and cold glare. She then runs off home.

At the shoreline, the Dark Lovers are trying to find a way to capture the Mermaid Princess's, Izul then has the idea to have one of the others disguise as a mermaid since the other princess's will naturally be looking for other princess's.

The next day, the students are tasked with collecting sea water to perform tests on plankton for science class, Rina notes how this is risky for the trio but Lucia tells them how Hippo already got them some in advance. Lucia see's Kaito and shouts at him for being silent, he then retorts about how she left without him. Lucia then realizes the Kaito she was with wasn't Kaito but the real Kaito leaves after being accused of being jealous. Just then, Maria appears in her disguise and lures Kaito away and attacks him with her Lovers Ice Darts. Before Maria can use Kaito, he uses his power to send her away before feinting in front of Gaito (dressed as Kaito). Gaito then see's into his brothers mind and his confusion over who he loves. Lucia, Hanon & Rina then see Eril, Yuri & Izul flailing in the water unable to use their fake mermaid tails, the trio swiftly send the Dark Lovers packing whilst Kaito is still out cold and dreaming about Lucia being held captive by Gaito & mermaid Lucia held by the Black Beauty Sisters and he is made to choose between the two. Kaito wakes up in Lucia's arms and she promises to only be with him, which makes him blush, Rina on the other hand seems suspicious that Kaito may have some kind power.
