[Merlinda] Two pearls of Neptune.
I can't believe it.
Who's mer-mazing? We are!
[giggles]
[laughs]
[grunts]
[honks]
Sailor and his friends found the spot
where the sea monsters gather
and drag the toxic drums
down to our portal.
We're going to use our own drums
to sneak back into Mertropia.
-Now that's a plan.
-But without the icky chemicals, right?
-Right.
-Brilliant.
-Let's beat them at their own game.
-We leave tonight.
I'm finally going to see my mom again.
[sighs happily] This feels like a dream.
I'm so happy for you.
We all are, Princess.
[groaning sigh]
Tonight we're returning to Mertropia
so Merlinda can be reunited
with her long lost mother.
Our followers on HeyYou! will love this.
Oh, can I see?
-It's cute, right?
-Security does not approve.
Nerissa! [groans angrily]
We're here, guys.
Taking the current into account,
if we drop them at this spot,
they should sink down
and land right in front of the portal.
[barrel clanks]
This is it, guys.
Tyler, Celia.
It's been an honor.
Okay, my turn.
I guess I should give this back.
Cell reception isn't great
at the bottom of the sea.
Keep it in case you come
Oh!
I'm gonna miss you so much!
-[Merlinda] Tyler
-Hm?
I want to say thank you for everything.
Hm.
It's-it's nothing.
I wanted to help.
Merlinda, I would do anything for you.
I'm happy your mom came back,
I really am, I just
Maybe when all this is over,
you can visit Mertropia someday.
I could show you around.
Sure. That would be mer-mazing.
Hm.
Sorry, Merlinda, but we've got to go.
Hm.
Thanks for helping
to protect the princess.
I've got it from here.
[sighs]
[sentimental music]
[lid clatters]
[crane whirs]
[sighs]
Hm?
[groans gently]
[Merlinda] Okay, this is it.
Slip out quietly.
Sasha will camouflage us
and we'll swim to the portal together.
[banging]
[Sasha] Hey! I'm stuck!
[Beau Jr. barks, whines]
Shh. Keep him quiet.
[gasps]
Beau Jr. Shh. They'll catch us.
Hm.
[anxious grunts]
[screeches]
[yells]
-[all exclaim]
-[sea monsters screech]
Nerissa, Sasha! Head for the portal!
[growling]
[screeching]
Waterspout!
Electroshock!
[grunting]
Dad!
Merlinda! Quickly!
[sea monsters growl]
Ah!
[grunts]
Dad! Am I glad to see you.
You're home finally. You both are.
[gasps] Merlinda!
Mom!
My little girl.
Is it really you?
[gently] Mm-hm.
[sighs]
Hm. Ah!
-[merperson 1] Look at this.
-[merperson 2] How wonderful!
It's so wonderful to see them.
[happy chatter]
[gasps] Mom! Dad!
[they laugh]
Oh, uh
-I brought something.
-Two new pearls.
Merlinda, all three of you girls.
You amaze me.
Thank you, Dad.
[laughs] Yahoo!
[cheers and laughter]
[grand music]
It's beautiful, isn't it? Unbelievable.
Everything is okay.
The pearls, they're so beautiful!
This is so magical!
[awed gasp]
[magical twinkling]
[happy chatter]
[whooshing]
[gasps]
[groans]
Dad!
Merlinda, with these two new pearls
you and your friends have given us hope.
And with your mother's return,
it is definitely a new day in Mertropia.
Tomorrow night
we shall have a royal celebration!
For the whole kingdom.
-[cheering]
-Yeah!
That's an amazing idea, Dad.
Sasha, Nerissa and I can totally help,
but nothing stuffy.
We'll have dancers and singers
and acrobats and
[coughs]
That's enough.
Our king needs to rest right now.
We'll have time to talk
in the morning, my dear.
[Seaford coughs]
I'm fine, Corelia.
My love, don't argue with your queen.
I'm here now
and I'm going to take care of you.
I'll prepare your medicine.
Oh, Corelia, my love,
I'm so glad to have you back.
[Corelia] Just leave everything to me,
my king.
[sniffs, growls]
-[barks]
-Hm?
[barks, growls]
[tranquil music]
[chuckles]
Good morning, Mertropia!
[laughs]
-Oh!
-Merlinda.
Alex.
Isn't today just perfect?
Yes, perfect.
Uh, the day, I mean.
See you later, Alex. [laughs]
Um, Merlinda?
[sighs]
[magical twinkling]
[Merlinda] Ah! Good morning,
Your Highness.
I mean, Mom. Where's Dad?
He's resting in his chambers.
Using his powers to maintain the pearls
has taken a toll on him.
Oh.
Can this beautiful young woman be the
same daughter I held all those years ago?
A princess?
A warrior.
Mom, I have so many questions.
And there's so much I want to tell you.
You returned with two pearls.
You must be very brave and resourceful.
Well, it definitely wasn't easy
with Barbarossa and his sea monsters
and that evil sea witch.
Yes.
I'm familiar with all of them.
Uh [sighs] Hm.
[sighs]
Mom, what happened to you out there?
Where were you all these years?
I was the pirate's prisoner.
I waited a long time
for someone to rescue me.
When I realized no one was coming
to save me, I rescued myself.
Look, I still have it.
Oh. So beautiful.
I've never taken it off. Where's yours?
Um Barbarossa took it.
Oh. I'm sorry.
One day I'll tell you about it.
When I'm ready.
I also found this.
Oh.
Finding your trident ring
was all I needed to believe in my heart
that you were out there somewhere.
I should check on your father.
Uh
Okay
-[knocking]
-Good morning!
Did you see all the sunshiny sparkles
on the water out there?
It's going to be a mer-tacular day.
So, tell us everything.
How's your mom?
She's great.
It's all going really great.
So, what about the big party tonight?
Any ideas?
Um, I'm, like, so fluent in party.
I see water dances,
water balloons, water music. [gasps]
We can perform!
Yes, the three of us can do a song
for my Mom.
-I love it!
-[Nerissa clears her throat]
There's no way I'm getting up
in front of the whole kingdom to sing.
-No way.
-Oh, okay.
I guess we'll have to tell everyone
that you're too afraid to do it.
My followers on Merstagram
are gonna want to hear this. [giggles]
Listen to me. I am not afraid of anything.
Are you sure about that?
More than sure.
Good. Then it's settled.
Let's start rehearsing now.
[Merlinda and Sasha laugh]
[grand music]
[laughter and cheering]
Long live the Queen!
My fellow Merpeople.
It is a joyous day.
For we come together to celebrate
the return of your beloved Queen Corelia.

Huh?
[music ends]
[Seaford coughs]
Dad!
[merperson] Please, someone help him!
-Oh no!
-Our king!
[panicked chatter]
[pants]
[Merlinda groans]
What did she say?
Mom said Dad can't be disturbed.
She won't even let me see him.
Merlinda, I think something weird
is going on.
Beau Jr. growled at your mom
in the throne room,
and when she was up on the balcony.
He only growls at mean people, like Tracy.
That doesn't mean anything
But it does.
I know it's crazy,
but what if that's not your mom?
-Sasha.
-Not my mom?
I really can't listen to this right now.
How could you say that to her
with everything she's going through?
I'm just trying to protect her.
I hoped you'd back me up.
Oh, no. Whatever this is, it's all you.
Okay, I guess I'll just
have to investigate myself.
[exaggerated yawn]
[pants]
[Corelia] There you are, my king.
It will make you feel better.
The medicine has been doing its job.
But now it's time to speed up the process.
I've waited more than 400 years
to be back in this palace.
And now the throne that should
have been mine is within my reach.
Okay, class, who can tell me
what's unique about this snail?
Sasha?
Mm. The colors. It's super pretty.
No, Sasha, this is the marble cone snail.
It's the most poisonous snail in the sea.
If you get stung by it,
you'll be dead within the hour.
[gasps] Ah!
It's time for you and your kingdom
to pay for the sins of your ancestors
mighty king.
-[gasps]
-[grunts]
[grunting]
[screams]
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
-[grunts]
-[Sasha screams]
[yells]
[smashing]
My video!
You little brat!
[Sasha screams] Help! [screams]
-Your Highness, what's happening?
-Seize her!
She tried to poison the King.
No, it wasn't me. It was her.
I command you to lock this girl away.
No! No, no. She's lying.
Can't you see? She's not the Queen!
[door slams]
We'll take that, Your Highness.
Uh. [gasps] Yes.
Thank you.
Your Highness, from now on,
we will stay with the King night and day.
Of course. See that you do.
[crackling]
It's the truth!
She's been poisoning the King.
Check my Merstagram.
You follow me, right?
Let go of Sasha now.
-Nerissa!
-Move aside.
Not going to happen.
Wait! Stand down, all of you.
You need to see this.
Hm.
[squelching]
[ominous music]
[Merlinda] Mom! What are you doing?
Why are you trying to take the pearls?
We must get them to a safe place.
Someone just tried
to poison your father, my dear.
There are traitors everywhere.
Are you referring to this attempt
on the king's life, Your Highness?
But I destroyed her bracelet.
[frustrated grunt]
It's called live streaming.
Good news is you're trending.
Bad news is you're finished.
How dare you? All of you!
When the King hears of this
I have heard plenty.
Deep down, I knew you were not her.
But I wanted to believe so badly.
We all did.
-[Nerissa] Sasha, you were right.
-Hm.
[sighs]
[laughs evilly]
You fools!
You only see what you want to see.
[imitating Merlinda] "Oh, Mommy,
I've missed you so much.
Mommy, I want to hear everything."
Huh?
-[Tempesta roars]
-[Sasha screams]
[Tempesta laughs malevolently]
Ocean shield!
[guards grunt]
[gasps]
[laughs]
[Nerissa] Electroshock!
[Seaford grunts]
[Sasha squeals]
[strains]
Dad!
The pearls!
Get the pearls!
Go! Protect them!
[thunder]
What?
[they yell]
[evil laughter]
[worried chatter]
[they yelp]
[merperson] She's here!
Run!
Don't! Too many merfolk.
[lightning bolt sizzles]
[exhales]
[laughs evilly]
[panting]
[laughs]
[guards grunt]
I'll take this key, if you don't mind.
[clanking]
Wave power!
[Nerissa] The portal! It's open!
[grunting]
[sea monster screeches]
-[grunts]
-[barrels clang]
[grunts]
-Whoa!
-[they yell]
[Tempesta] No use fighting it.
The venom of the lionfish
has a wonderful, paralyzing effect.
You fell into my trap so easily.
[sea monsters snarl]
[Tempesta chuckles]
Your life force will fuel Barbarossa.
Your kingdom will be destroyed
because of you.
You-You will never You will never win.
Oh, but I already have.
Let's go! And bring them along.
[snarling]
-[barks]
-[Alex grunts]
[grunts]
Hurry.
Your Highness, the mechanism has been
damaged. It cannot be opened.
[groans] No.
No.
Merlinda.
