During a trip to Mako Island, Zac gets in touch with the water of the magic Moon Pool in a night of full Moon, gaining a merman tail and the power to manipulate water. Sirena, Nixie and Lyla, three mermaids who guard Mako Island, are sent to mainland by their fellow mermaids to deprive Zac of his powers, otherwise they will be forever banned from the island.

"The Legend of Jiao Long"

The mermaids, along with Karl and Chris, attend a book signing at an exhibition for Secrets of the Deep, whose author had gathered lots of artefacts from incredible depths of the ocean. The author of the book turns out to be Rikki Chadwick. A mysterious bracelet at the exhibition is noted to be associated with the Jiao Long Dragon. The mermaids go to Shen's antique store where Weilan examines the painting of The Legend of Jiao Long. The painting reveals a mermaid using the same bracelet from the exhibition on the dragon in the legend. The girls suspect that Rikki is a mermaid, whose recovered bracelet can defeat the water dragon. The girls inform her of their real identities and of the dragon, but Rikki turns the girls away, unwilling to give up the priceless artefact she struggled so hard to obtain. Meanwhile, Chris becomes suspicious of Mimmi's behaviour and begins to doubt that Mimmi really likes him. In an attempt to get some answers, Chris talks to Zac who insists that Mimmi has nothing to hide and that she really likes him but Chris is left unsatisfied. Later, the mermaids enlist Zac to help them steal the bracelet. The heist ultimately fails and the girls are forced to retreat when the police arrive. Afterwards, Chris confronts Mimmi on her secrecy but she still refuses to tell him the truth. Fed up with her always running out on him and her lack of honesty, Chris breaks up with her. Special guest star: Cariba Heine as Rikki Chadwick
