Lyla Alone

S1 E4: Lyla, Nixie and Sirena use Rita's secret sea entrance to return to land. While leaving they discover another secret cavern, the Grotto, full of sea objects and treasure. Angry that the mermaids are back, a fearful Rita warns them about the ways of land dwellers. But to Nixie and Sirena the land is a world full of new and exciting experiences, like shopping. To Lyla, their legs are a temporary necessity until they can remove Zac's merman powers. Lyla searches for Zac at the Ocean Café, but when a waitress accidentally spills a drink on her, she has only seconds before her tail is on display for all to see. She rushes to the cool room - just before secretly transforming into a mermaid. The cool condensation prevents Lyla from transforming out of fish-form, and when she tries to manipulate the thermostat she only manages to turn the sprinkler system on! Meanwhile, Nixie and Sirena secretly follow Zac's girlfriend, EVIE who is going shopping. Nixie and Evie battle over a prized pair of shoes, and ultimately get banned from the store. Returning to the café, Nixie and Sirena wonder where Lyla is and find her in the cool room. While Sirena distracts the café owner DAVID and his customers with a song, Nixie helps Lyla transform... and walk out of the café on two feet. Feeling sorry for themselves, the mermaids return to Rita's to say goodbye - being on land is too dangerous. But Rita decides to help them find their way on land, and as young mermaids.
