The spell of the full moon turns Emma into a carefree, wild mermaid. At her father's birthday party she's the opposite to her usual, organized self. Can the other girls stop her before all is revealed?

Plot[]

Emma is bustling about, trying to arrange the party for her dad. Cleo and Rikki stop by and find her in a right state of fussiness that bothers Rikki. Later, Cleo is working when Miss Chatham appears and warns her not to look at the full moon or its reflection, also she reminds her not to touch water because it is dangerous before disappearing Chatham a as Emma and Rikki arrive, leaving Cleo worried.

That night, at the party, everyone is there and Emma is getting a drink when she sees the full moon and transforms into a wild girl! She offends lots of people before Cleo takes her outside. But Cleo leaves her so Emma jumps into the sea and swims to Mako Island. When she comes back, she pulls Lewis in with her! Rikki tries to dry her, but Emma can't transform!

They put her in the hot tub and spa and ask her to stay. But after they leave Byron comes past and Emma flirts and kisses him. Elliot sees this and alerts Cleo and Rikki and they break them up. Lewis comes with Grandma Gilbert's wheelchair and they sneak her away. But Emma causes even more trouble-freezing Zane and Miriam's lips together and pinching Byron's butt! Everyone wants to hear Emma's speech, but she's eating all the seafood before eating time so Cleo improvises one. Soon, people begin leaving because Emma ate all the seafood for the party so the girls and Lewis take Emma to JuiceNet, where she turns back into a human the following morning.
