Sofia the First S1 E22

## Plot

The royal family are on a summer vacation. They've taken their castle boat out to Merroway Cove. Roland's father took him here when he was a boy. Baileywick knew them even back then. He gets seasick easily. Amber asks if mermaids live at the cove, just like the stories say, but Roland says that they're just make believe. Sofia was reading a book about mermaids, and it said that they only come up to the surface when they know humans aren't looking. Admiral Hornpipe doesn't believe her though. Sofia finds out that Clover snuck onboard. Cedric and Wormwood are also there, and Cedric found a way to take over the kingdom without Sofia's amulet. There's another artifact he can use: The Mermaid Comb of Merroway Cove. It can harness the power of the ocean. It turns out that Clover accidentally wound up onboard when he took a nap in one of the boxes. He and Sofia see a mermaid girl around Sofia's age, but she dives underwater when they notice her. However, she gets her tail stuck in a line of buoys. Sofia brings her onboard and frees her. Her name is Oona. Mermaids can talk to animals. Sofia gets a new power for freeing Oona. She has the mermaid comb, but she doesn't know how to use it or what its powers are, because her mom thinks she isn't old enough yet. She tries to leave, but she can't swim. She hurt her fin in the net. When Sofia tries to help her again, she transforms into a mermaid. Since she has this new power, she decides to help Oona get home. Cedric and Wormwood take a lifeboat and enter a cave so Sofia won't get in their way, unaware of her new power. Cedric transforms himself and Wormwood into sea creatures so they can look for the comb. Sofia and Oona arrive at her sunken ship hideaway, where she keeps her treasures. They hide from the seahorse Sven. He's Oona's friend, but he gets suspicious around strangers. He finds them, and Oona claims that Sofia is a mermaid visiting from another colony. Cora also finds them there. She's Oona's older sister. She heals Oona's fin with moon kelp, but Oona says she can do it herself. Their mom wanted Cora to check on Oona. They still treat her like a helpless little baby. Sven and Oona give Sofia a tour of the cove, and take her to where the mermaids live. Cedric sees them, and learns that Oona wears the mermaid comb as a tiara, and that Sofia turned herself into a mermaid. The royal family's boat casts a shadow on everything under it. Sofia and Oona are almost crushed by the anchor. Cora and Oona leave and head back to their castle. Sofia follows them. Most mermaids don't like humans and think that they're dangerous. Sofia meets Plank, a merman and senior advisor to the queen. The queen tells Sofia and Oona that the last time a ship entered the cove, the humans tried to capture one of the mermaids. Luckily, a storm came and sank the ship. But didn't that kill all of the people onboard? It's the same ship that Oona plays in. No mermaids were captured, but a lot were hurt, which is why they don't go up near the surface. The queen's name is Emmaline. Plank advises her to get the ship to leave the cove. Her trident has the power to change the weather. She could use it to make a storm to blow the ship out of the cove. However, Emmaline could lose control of it. If it gets too big, it could sink the ship. Plank is okay with that. Sofia says that she could get the humans to move the ship on their own. She admits that she's a human, and the ship belongs to her dad. Oona and Sven vouch for her. Emmaline orders her to move the ship, then leave the cove and never return. Oona follows her. Because of her mom's decision, they can't see each other again. Cedric tries to take Oona's comb, but it zaps him. It has a protection charm on it. Before Sofia can get back onboard the ship, Oona calls for help. However, Cedric catches her in the kelp forest, and Sofia can't find her. Cedric and Wormwood head back to the ship to find the spell that will break the protection charm. Sofia goes back to the mermaid city and tells them what happened. Plank thinks that she's lying to them, and the humans took Oona captive. Emmaline is about to use the trident to create a storm to sink the ship. She gives Sofia until sunset to get Oona back. Plank follows her to keep an eye on her. Sven believes that she was telling the truth, and decides to help look for Oona. Sofia gets back on the ship to talk to her parents. She tells them what happened, but they don't believe her, and she can't have them meet one of the mermaids to convince them. She tells Clover what happened. He'll look at the whole cove from the balcony. A seagull he was bickering with knows Oona, and searches for her from the air. His name is Farley. Sofia heads back into the water and looks for Oona with Sven. Plank tells the other merpeople what happened. Emmaline decides to give them one more hour, and then she'll sink the ship. Farley finds Oona being held in Cedric's boat in the cave after a spell he tried casting gives off a powerful glow. He tells Clover, and they tell Sofia, who returned to the ship with Sven. They head off to rescue her. Sofia grabs the key to the cage, but Wormwood alerts Cedric, and she drops it. She picks it back up and tries to free Oona. However, Cedric's spell hits the key, and it falls into the ocean. Sofia and Sven look for it. Emmaline and Plank head up to the surface to create a storm. Sofia and Sven see her. Sofia doesn't know what else to do. No one believes her, and she failed when she tries to take matters into her own hands. Her amulet summons Ariel to help her. She tells her that everyone needs help sometimes. She also says that despite the differences between humans and merpeople, they both love their families. Cora wants to save her sister, and Sofia shows her that she feels the same. Like Cinderella and Belle before her, Ariel magically disappears when her work is done. Cora tells Sofia that Oona's comb has the power to control the ocean, but she doesn't know what it can do. Unlike her, Cora knows how to use the comb. Sven and his family head out to stop Queen Emmaline from sinking the ship, which they do by taking her trident. Emmaline and Plank chase after them. Farley and Clover team up to rescue Oona. Baileywick tells the royal family that they can't find Sofia. Speaking of which, she sneaks onboard Cedric's ship and gets Oona's comb. She throws it into the ocean, where Cora is waiting. Cedric casts a spell to make her vanish, but it hits Oona's cage instead. Clover and Farley help them. Cora uses the comb to blast Cedric far out of the cave. She gives it back to Oona, and they reunite with Emmaline. However, the storm is still raging. Emmaline uses the trident to make the storm go away, and everyone sees her. Sofia checks on her family, and introduces them to the mermaids. Cedric and Wormwood get back to the boat and turn back to normal. Sofia and Oona are glad that they can be friends now.
