I don't have much of an appetite.
Oh, you look pale.
You feeling okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just a cold.
Nothing to worry about.
All right, well, just look after yourself.
Yeah, you too.
I'll see you later.
Carly! Wait up.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, how's things? Things? Yeah, things.
You mean things with Cam? Yes.
Things are good.
"Good"? Is that all I'm gonna get? Well, it's still so new.
Oh, you're right.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.
No.
No, it's okay.
I really like him.
And I don't mind you asking.
You're my best friend.
We tell each other everything, right? David, you look sharp.
It's the young entrepreneur's seminar.
I have to dress for success.
So what are you doing here? - Just checking on my new manager.
- I'm fine.
- I won't let you down.
- Thanks.
I've been looking forward to this for ages.
The brochure says it's gonna unlock my full corporate potential.
Where's Erik? When has he ever showed up on time? He'll be here.
Go! I guess you have to go to your job now.
I guess.
I'm kind of running late.
You're always running late.
Why do you even bother? It keeps me busy.
But they can wait five more minutes.
I'll be right with you.
Excuse me, we've been waiting a while.
Quite a while, in fact.
- I'll be right with you.
- You've already said that.
I'm a little short-staffed at the moment.
I'll be with you as soon as I possibly can.
Looks like you could use a hand.
There's a tray of sandwiches in the cool room.
- Could you grab it for me? - Coming right up.
- Thank you, you're my hero.
- What are friends for? - Busy.
- Don't worry.
We'll get priority.
I know the staff.
It shouldn't be too much longer.
- So, you and Carly, huh? - Yeah.
So? It's good.
- Good.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- Good.
Hey.
Nice apron.
Sorry? Let's see, I'll have a strawberry smoothie, thanks.
No, make that a passion fruit crush.
Actually, I'll have a tropical bonanza.
Have you ever had a cold, since you've had your You know.
No, why? I think I might be coming down with one and it seems to be having a really strange effect I'm sorry to interrupt, it's just we've got a bit of a backlog of orders.
I'll be right there.
Uh, two pineapple juices.
Sorry about the wait.
I ordered a tropical bonanza.
But this is fine.
This is fine.
When did it get so hot in here? I hadn't noticed it until now, but it is pretty warm.
You look like you could do with some fresh air.
I'll turn the temperature down.
Just take a deep breath, okay? You have been rushing around.
I think I've caught my dad's cold.
- What are you doing? - Turning the temperature down.
Why? The temperature's fine.
Yeah.
It was like an oven in here a minute ago.
That's weird.
- Weird things are happening.
- Like what? I toasted sandwiches.
So? With my Oh, no.
Ah Ah Ah I think the mermaid part of me is having a bad reaction.
What do you mean "bad reaction"? We have got to get you out of here! Come on.
I've had colds before, but never like this.
Like what? That doesn't usually happen, does it? No! Can you help? I don't have any experience with this sort of thing.
Mermaids don't get colds! - But I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you! - You want to tell me what I just saw? - Uh spontaneous combustion? Evie sneezed and an umbrella caught fire.
How does that work? It's pretty random, hey? And look at these.
They weren't toasted when I left them in the cool room, and Evie is the only other person who's been in there.
How do you explain that? Maybe she snuck a blowtorch in.
Really? Look, weird things happen all the time.
Maybe you should just forget about it.
The café could have burnt down while I was in charge.
How can I forget about it? Why aren't you looking at me? - Aren't I? - No! In fact, I think you're trying not to look at me.
No way! I like looking at you.
You know something.
No, I don't know anything about anything.
Hey, guys.
What's happening? I'll tell you what's happening.
We're busier than ever and we're short-staffed because one of our waiters didn't show up, again.
Relax, I'm here now.
Not good enough.
I'm always a few minutes late.
David doesn't seem to mind and he's the boss.
Well, today I'm your boss, and you're fired.
Carly, come on.
Fine.
We'll see what David has to say.
He'll be back later.
Until then, consider yourself unemployed.
Some dried octopus tentacle.
Cod liver oil? It's worth a try.
- Just a couple of drops.
- Oh, no.
Ah ah, ah - Please hurry! - Please hurry! It's okay.
Oh.
It's Carly! Hello? Evie, it's me.
Can you come back here? I really don't want to let David down.
He's relying on me.
Uh, I'm really sorry, but I can't.
I've got this horrible cold.
Right.
So what did you do to that umbrella? The umbrella? You know the one that burst into flames when you sneezed? Oh, right! That umbrella.
Yeah, that was weird.
Can you explain to me how you did that? Um Not Not really.
I thought we didn't have any secrets.
We don't! Look, if you know something, tell me.
- I can't.
I have to go.
- Evie - How can I possibly explain this? - You can't.
Well, maybe I should just tell her the truth? You know we can't risk that.
Well, I should go back and apologize for running out on her.
Okay.
Try this.
Ew! Gross! What is that? It's probably better if you don't know.
Drink up.
That was disgusting! But I feel better now.
That stuff's magic! Okay, okay, so 12 is two juices and the soup of the day.
No, that was table ten.
Twelve had three juices and two salads.
- But 12 also has two juices and a soup - No, I'm telling Cam, I'm telling - Twelve does have it though - Cam, the grill! Okay.
Now probably isn't the best time to tell you that I don't cope very well with high pressure situations.
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
Okay.
Are you sure you're feeling all right? Should I get the fire extinguisher just in case? It's okay.
I feel fine now.
Okay.
I owe you an apology.
Yes, you do.
And I look forward to hearing it, but, in the meantime, take this to table 12.
Hi.
Wow.
Redecorating? Short story.
Evie was here.
She had some kind of weird cold, but I think I cured it.
Aren't land people supposed to stay in bed when they've got something contagious? Well, yes, but I'm sure we'll be fine.
Mermaids don't get colds.
Does anyone else feel hot? Here we go, one vanilla milkshake.
Sorry about the wait.
Can you dry that up? It's a safety risk.
I'll do it.
No, I need you on the juicer.
Evie? I'll get some gloves, um What's the matter? It's just water.
Can I ask you a hypothetical? Okay.
Let's just say I have a secret.
And I want to tell you because you're my best friend.
I'd say you should tell me.
But I can't because Because it involves other people.
Well, if these other people are more important to you are we really best friends? Of course we are.
So stop beating around the bush and tell.
I want to, I just I I'm a Fine, don't tell me.
I have to clean this up.
Uh-oh.
Now I feel hot.
You don't think I'm coming down with it too? You're the one who said mermaids couldn't get colds.
Ah Ah I'll go make some more potion! Maybe it's time I just told her the truth.
No.
You did the right thing.
Just ignore it.
I'm sure she'll forget about it.
You don't know Carly like I do.
She won't let this go.
Oh, is it cold in here? Oh, no.
I feel guilty about you losing your job.
It'll be fine.
Carly just doesn't like me.
I'll sort it out with David.
Are you feeling okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
I feel so much better now I've washed that gross taste out with nice, clean salt water.
Me, too.
My potions might work, but they're not exactly tasty.
Uh-oh.
What's going on? Ah Ah I don't think the potion worked.
Evie! The, uh, potion did not work.
How are we going to explain this one? Evie! We have to go back to Rita's and try another cure.
Before things get worse.
Why are all the customers leaving? Whoa, it's like Antarctica in here.
And what is all this? Evie? Evie's not feeling well.
She has to go.
Oh, no.
Not until you tell me what's going on.
Actually, I've been reading about this.
There's this virus, right, that affects temperature Ah Ah I'm going home! Cam? We have to tell her the truth.
It's the only thing she'll believe.
We can't.
She's this close to finding out anyway! And Cam knows.
The less people who know, the better.
She is my best friend.
I don't want to lose her.
Ah Ah Ah Evie, I need answers! Carly, there's something you should know.
Here you go.
Hot honey and lemon.
Thanks.
Now I know how an ice cube feels.
Why didn't you tell me? I'm really sorry.
I wanted to.
But I had to protect the others.
Did Cam know? Yes.
But not me.
Great.
Well, it looks like you might have recovered, but you should definitely drink this.
You sure it'll work? I've encountered more than a few colds in my time on land.
This is definitely the right recipe.
It tastes a lot better than Mimmi's.
No offense.
So do you think Carly will keep our secret? I don't know.
I lost track of time, and I'm sorry about that.
I didn't mean to let Carly down.
But she can't fire me.
Sorry, Erik.
I left Carly in charge, and as I learnt at the seminar today, you should always back your manager's decision.
Of course, you're always welcome as a customer.
Would you like a juice? I'm sure we can make her understand.
What if we can't? I just have one thing to say.
Do the tails come in different colors?
