Bad Moon Rising is the 18th episode in Season 1 of H2O: Just Add Water. It premiered on November 3rd, 2006.

Synopsis

Under the effects of the Full Moon, Rikki goes crazy, boiling everything dry. She runs away to Mako where she meets Zane and kisses him.

Plot

It’s another full moon and this time the girls are prepared. They decide to moon proof Emma’s house and camp out there for the night. Things seem fine until a glimmer of moonlight from a quickly shut door lands on Rikki. Her powers start to boil everything dry and she accidentally burns Emma. Rikki escapes to Mako so she won’t put anyone else in danger, but there she finds she dries up and burns everything too. Zane, who has been haunted by nightmares of the sea creature who saved him from drowning, is on the hunt to find it. While on his search, Zane sees flames coming from Mako and goes to investigate. He finds Rikki, and under the influence of the full moon, they kiss, causing Zane to pass out from dehydration. The girls arrive with Lewis and quickly take Rikki to the only place Miss Chatham said they’d be safe – Moon Pool.
