~ Marina and the man (we never see his face) are about to kiss, but all of a sudden, he returns to the surface. Meanwhile, Pearly has witnessed this. Marina comes back to her senses and tries to find the garimono, but she does not succeed.
~ At the mermaid’s beach, Marina tells all the mermaids that she has seen her “tunay ng pag-ibig,” but wasn’t able to get the garimono. They are all excited for her, especially Vixia and Quiana, who want to know his name and if he’s handsome. She explains he is handsome and that she would’ve kissed him if it hadn’t been for the divers coming in. Istah warns Marina that the batong dignoy showed that Luna will be one of her enemies and possibly kill her. She doesn’t believe her, but Istah tells her to be careful.
~ Back at the resort, Randolph tells Luna that he doesn’t want to waste anymore time. She happily says yes and they hug. She tells him she will follow everything he says, and he thanks her.

~ In Dugong’s lair, Pearly is so happy to see Dugong and tells her that she saw a handsome “papa.” Dugong doesn’t understand. Pearly wishes he was her papa, but it’s actually Marina’s. Dugong gets very nervous. Pearly explains that she saw them under the sea and almost kissed. Dugong wants to know if she had kissed him, but Pearly tells her, “secret!” Dugong gets mad, so Pearly says that they almost kissed if it weren’t for the divers. Dugong orders her to follow Marina and to not let her kiss ANY guy.
~ A very weak and faint Sheila is calling for Marina. Esther, who’s by her bedside, tell her that she’s in the ocean still. Sheila tells her that she can’t wait for Marina anymore. Pilar tells her not to say that, and Esther assures her that she will be ok for Marina will bring back the garimono. They get worried and take off the bed covers. Her body has turned into water except for her head. They’re initial shock turns to sadness for they think that they will lose Sheila.
~ Later that night, Raphael is on the beach. He apparently has gone scuba diving and is out of breath. But why?

~ Continuing at the mermaid’s beach, they all tease Marina that she’s thinking of her “prince charming,” but Quiana thinks that she’s thinking about the garimono. Marina says both, but she doesn’t know where to find it now. Quiana thinks that she should find it first to heal Sheila. But because Marina got electrocuted when she touched the garimono, Vixia thinks she should be a human first. Then Quiana points out that she can’t catch up to it if she’s a human. Istah ends their friendly quarrel and gives Marina a net to catch the garimono. But Marina knows that she still needs a human to put it inside the net.
~ Carlitos is at the resort with a backpack talking to Mario and Isabel outside. Mario tells him to keep in touch and not to forget them. Carlitos agrees and Mario returns inside. Isabel doesn’t understand. He explains that since his father is gone and he doesn’t know how to fish, he is leaving to find a job in Manila. He also says that he has no other reason to stay. She feels guilty. He tells his “best friend” to take care. She tells him the same. And while he’s walking away, she feels bad.

~ Randolph knocks on Victoria’s door. She opens it to see him and Luna. She is so happy to see Luna and hugs her right away. Luna introduces Randolph to her as her boyfriend. She brings them inside and comments that she knew the first time she saw him, that he was right for Luna. Luna explains that it was Randolph’s idea to tell her personally about them as a couple. He asks if she’s mad, but Victoria says she isn’t and that the only thing she wants is for him not to hurt Luna. Victoria gives some money to Luna to buy something to eat. When Victoria and Randolph are along, she gives him a bottle and orders him to make Luna drink it when it’s a full moon...


Episode 31 (part 2): April 6, 2004
~ Pearly is sleeping in the cave. Dugong wakes her up and is mad that she’s not doing what she ordered her to do. Pearly explains that she wants to be fresh when she returns to the human world, but Dugong tells her not to hope. Dugong then tells her to make sure that when Marina and that guy see each other again, she will make sure they don’t kiss. Pearly jokes that he should just kiss her and leaves.
~ On the beach, Victoria tells Dugong that she has Luna again and thinks she’s close to giving her the power. Dugong tells her that Cristina found her prince charming. Victoria gets worried and asked if they kissed. Dugong tells her not to panic because they didn’t. Victoria tells her to do something about it, and Dugong tells her that she’s having her followed. Victoria then suggests to kill the guy, and Dugong agrees. But then Victoria doesn’t want to and would rather kill Cristina instead of waiting for her 21st birthday. Dugong gets worried, but reluctantly agrees.

~ In the pool, Quintin and Raphael are swimming. Quintin asks Raphael if Sheila’s ok and what is her illness. He says that he doesn’t know since they all are keeping secrets and don’t want help. Quintin jokes that he should’ve became a detective rather than a doctor and then notices that it’s Sheila on his mind now, not Marina. Raphael gets annoyed and tells him to stop asking questions. But Quintin tells him that HE’S the one always asking questions. Raphael swims away.
~ Leon and Isabel are walking on the beach. He notices that she’s sad. He asks if it’s his fault for shaking up things with her and Carlitos. She doesn’t know why she’s so sad when they weren’t even a couple. He explains that he’s her friend and she knows that he loves her, but since he’s gone, he tells her not to worry since he will be there for her as a friend.
~ The mermaids are swimming, looking for the garimono. Marina is happy to have finally found it, but Pearly comes out of nowhere and snatches it away from her. All of them go after Pearly. While Pearly is teasing to them that she got the garimono, the mermaids are able to stop her from swimming away and Marina catches the garimono in the net.

~ In Dugong’s lair, Pearly explains to Dugong what she caught. Dugong knows that it is the garimono. Pearly asks why they need it. Dugong figures out that they need it for Sheila because she needs to be healed. She then laughs and comments that Sheila got karma since her powers worked against her. They cheer together since no one can beat her. While they’re cheering and dancing, Dugong asks for the garimono, but since Pearly doesn’t have it, she stops dancing.
~ Istah gives Marina a glowing ball (the navel of the garimono), and Marina thanks them.

~ Later that night on the beach, Lorelei tells Elias that all the sea creatures are her friends because she’s not only Ms. Friendship, but Ms. Talent and the most smartest mermaid. In fact, she wants to work in the office. So he asks her if she knows where they can find the syoke or “tunay ng pag-ibig.” She’s thinks, but he interrupts her. She tells him to wait and thinks harder. A thought bubble appears above her (he can’t see what she’s seeing, but we can). She explains to him that she can see a guy, on the beach, with his back turned, and painting a picture of a mermaid. He doesn’t understand since syokes only live in the water. She is screaming to the man in the image to turn around so she can see his face. At the same time, Elias thinks that she’s talking to him so he keeps showing his face to her.
~ Marina, back in human form, runs to Sheila’s room with the garimono. It starts to heal her and they’re all happy...


Episode 32 (part 1): April 7, 2004
~ Esther, Pilar, Marina, and Sheila are all happy and all hug that she’s ok. Sheila thanks Marina. Marina tells her that she doesn’t have to thank her because if it wasn’t for her, her life wouldn’t be in danger. Sheila tells her that she will always protector against however many Dugongs. Sheila notices that Marina’s quiet. Marina tells her that Dugong is still alive, but Sheila is not scared, especially now that she has the garimono. Marina smiles.
~ Lorelei keeps trying to get man in the image to turn around, so Elias goes behind her. She loses the image, when Elias shakes her again saying that he’s in front of her. They fight over if the “tunay ng pag-ibig” is a man or a syoke. So she leaves him on the beach to look for the syoke.
~ Dugong gets mad at Pearly for giving away the garimono. She starts hitting Pearly. Pearly explains that she didn’t know it was important. Dugong, acting like a spoiled brat who can’t get what she wants, is upset knowing that Sheila can’t lose to her now. But Pearly tells her to dance again so that she won’t be upset. They dance again.

~ The next morning, Raphael goes downstairs to see Marina and a healthy Sheila in the living room. He’s shocked. Sheila thanks him for his concern. She and Marina leave. Raphael is confused.
~ Luna serves Randolph breakfast. He says it feels good to be in love. Ronald goes to them, and Luna tells him that she and Randolph are a couple. He congratulates them and walks away upset.
~ While swimming, Vixia and Quiana say that the fish know something’s going to happen. They wonder who’s going to do it.
~ Lorelei is thinking of the image of the man again, but Elias shakes her and says that he’s hungry. She gets annoyed and they fight, saying that he/she is “makulit.” He tells her that she said she was going to cook, so she stops fighting and goes into the kitchen.
~ Later that night, Victoria goes to the beach and calls for the wind to find Cristina and to take her to her. The wind brings her to the resort. She doesn’t understand why she’s there.

~ The wind tells her that they’re never wrong. All of a sudden Victoria becomes paralyzed and calls for Dugong. In the cave, Dugong can hear her. Victoria asks her what happened. Dugong explains that since she’s weak, it’s not good to use her powers. So Dugong tells her to go back home. Victoria screams for her to help her. Dugong is annoyed and gets Pearly to help her.
~ Pilar goes to a crying Esther and asks why isn’t she eating. Esther explains that her whole life has been through trials and tribulations and wonders when it will end. She also doesn’t know where is she going to find Marina’s “tunay ng pag-ibig.”

~ Pilar tells her not to worry and assures her that, one day, the “tunay ng pag-ibig” will just knock on the door and get rid of the curse.
~ Sheila and Marina are walking along the beach. Sheila says it’s not enough to just say “thank you.” Vixia and Quiana are waiting for them in the water. Sheila thanks them and tells them to thank Istah for her. Vixia says the most important thing is that now that she has the garimono, she can fight Dugong. But Quiana warns Marina about Victoria...


Episode 32 (part 2): April 8, 2004
~ Marina and Sheila get worried that Victoria knows that Marina is Cristina. Vixia and Quiana tell her Victoria doesn’t know, but explains that the wind brought her to the resort, so she knows that Cristina is around there. They both tell them to be careful from Victoria and Dugong.
~ In Dugong’s lair, Dugong and Pearly are conjuring up a mixture. They’re both singing and dancing. Dugong’s very happy as she has the final ingredient: human’s blood. So she gets a reluctant Pearly to drop 3 droplets of her blood in it. The mixture starts to show an image.

~ The image is ice cream, and Pearly gets excited. But Dugong tries again since that’s not what she’s looking for. The next image is cake, and Pearly is excited again. Dugong tries again. This time it’s a heart, and Dugong gets frustrated on why it won’t work.
~ Lorelei is starting to get irritated with Elias because he wants to look for a syoke again, so she ties up Elias’ leg. But Lorelei gives in and decides to get help from her mermaids to find the syoke. She explains to him that on the mermaid’s beach, there is a crystal ball that can see into the future and find what you’re looking for (batong dignoy). She can’t remember the name, but is sure it can help.

~ On the balcony, Pilar asks Marina is Victoria knows about Cristina. Marina says not yet, but it won’t be long until she finds out. Pilar gets worried. Esther thinks it’s time that she tells the truth and faces Victoria. Marina doesn’t want her to. Esther explains that it’s her and Elias’ problem, and she just got caught in the middle of it, so it’s time that to finish the fight once and for all.

~ Victoria opens the door and is shocked to see Esther. Esther tells her that she’s there to finish their problem. Victoria comments on her courage to go there alone and asks if she can beat her.
~ Back in Dugong’s lair, Pearly’s sleeping since it has taken a long time to get the image that Dugong wants. Dugong pleads for it to work and tries again. It finally comes up (it looks like a stick of rock). Dugong is so excited and wakes up Pearly. Pearly asks what it is, Dugong says that it’s the “batong larusa.” Dugong is happy since this will beat Dugyot...

~ In Dugong’s lair, Pearly is about to touch the batong larusa, but she’s caught by Dugong. Dugong tells Pearly not to touch it since it’s part of her plan against Dugyot.

She continues to say that Victoria could use her powers for evil, but Victoria denies it. Esther reminds them when Victoria went to her wedding and reveals that she cursed her daughter. She also reminds them how the ocean wasn’t giving any fish which coincidentally happened to be at the same time Victoria was angry at her and Elias. All the townspeople look at each other. Esther goes on to tell them that it’s true that she was taking care of a mermaid that night when they came to the resort to kill it. She reveals that Victoria turned her daughter into a mermaid. Gaspar comments that that day she said there was a mermaid at the resort, but Victoria denies it. She’s mad and tells them not to believe Esther. Esther calls her bluff and asks her how can she explain what happened to Elias, how she can walk again, and how can her own daughter turn her back on a “nice” person. Victoria is furious, but they hold her back. Victoria uses her power to push Esther to the ground. Esther gets up and says that they all blame the mermaids for bad luck, but, in fact, it was VICTORIA’S fault for them not getting fish so they can go to her and ask for help.

~ On the balcony, Marina tells Sheila that she’s sure the guy she met as a kid is not on the island. Sheila also believes that it ISN’T Quintin or Raphael, but is sure they will find the “tunay ng pag-ibig.” Marina notices that Sheila has never mentioned anything about a boyfriend or her love life and doesn’t believe that she never had one since she’s so beautiful.
~ At the same time, Raphael and Quintin are at the pool. Quintin asks if he’s seen the girl he wants to marry, but he says it’s not on his mind right now. Quintin comments that he will have Marina and he will have Sheila. He then comments that Sheila’s beauty is one of a mermaid’s, but Raphael tells him to stop talking about it.

She also says that he was a good scuba diver, even though he was just 13, and his name was Raffy. Marina asks what happened. Sheila explains that when Dugong found out, she threatened to kill him, so she stopped seeing him - but watched over him secretly, even though she knew he wanted to see her again.
~ Quintin asks Raphael if he’s scared that when he sees her, he will fall in love again. But he denies it, and says he will just get angry because she and her mother is the reason why their parents died. Quintin thinks that maybe she’s still following him and wants to get back together.
~ On the beach, Ronald asks Luna if she’s happy. She says yes and asks if he’s happy for her. He says yes, but thinks there is something wrong with Randolph. He explains that they’re really close and best friends, but doesn’t understand why he never told him about them being a couple. She thinks that maybe Randolph felt bad since he knew that he liked her also. But Ronald points out that when she told to him about them, he didn’t say anything. She’s intrigued.
~ Istah is holding a cloth called the “takip baloy” and will help Sheila. She’s sure that Dugong will come out again on the full moon. She tells the mermaids that Sheila has to put it on her head and NOT use her power. They get worried for Dugong will kill her, but she assures to them that she won’t.

~ Esther gets home that night and Pilar is shocked that she went by herself. But Esther explains the whole town is behind her, so they won’t believe Victoria and now the fight is over. But Marina points out that the curse is still on her and Elias. Sheila doesn’t think that it’s over because Victoria is not the type of person to give up.
~ Later, Marina and Sheila are talking to Quiana, Vixia, and Myria in the sink water. They tell them about the takip baloy and what Istah told them. Sheila and Marina are shocked since they also think that Sheila will lose to Dugong if she doesn’t use their her power. But they tell her that if she doesn’t use her batong malu, then Dugong’s batong larusa won’t work, and assure them not to worry.


~ Victoria tells Dugong on the beach that even if Esther has the town, she still has the power. She also says that if Esther thinks it’s over, she’s wrong. But Dugong points out that she can’t win if she has no one on her side. Victoria gets mad that she’s not supporting her and asks if Esther is hiding Cristina. Dugong pretends that she doesn’t know, but Victoria wonders how can a mermaid gain feet without going to her. Dugong explains that there are other ways. But Victoria knows she will find out soon. She also wants them all to be gone and is going to start with Marina tonight.

~ Back in the lair, Dugong’s worried. Pearly asks why she’s tense. She explains that Victoria is going to kill Marina tonight. Pearly asks why it matters since she’s happy she gets to go home because she doesn’t have anyone to watch or kill. But Dugong explains that if Marina dies, she will too.
~ Marina hears the mermaids calling her, but it’s really Victoria pretending to sound like them. She goes outside and the gates open for her. Victoria is flying in the air. Marina’s scared and tries to run away, but Victoria uses her wind to stop her. Marina is screaming. Victoria says that maybe she should call her “Cristina” and asks the wind to show her tail. Marina’s feet turn into her tail. Victoria is laughing and uses her power to start choking Marina. The mermaids see what’s happening in the batong dignoy and are scared Marina’s going to die. Istah orders them to go into the ocean. At the same time, Istah’s necklace starts glowing and Dugong is choking as well...
