Episode 34: April 12, 2004
~ The mermaids are in the water, holding hands, and chanting in a circle around Istah. A storm brews over Victoria and Marina. They disappear. Dugong stops choking. Sheila goes outside and looks for Marina. She feels the sand and knows something happened. She calls Esther and Pilar. Esther asks where is Marina. Sheila says she checked everywhere but she’s nowhere to be found. Pilar wonders if Victoria has done her revenge, but they hope not. Marina wakes up on the mermaid’s beach. Istah tells the mermaids that Marina is ok. Marina tells them that Victoria was going to kill her. Victoria wakes up in Dugong’s lair. She sees Dugong and Pearly and wonders what she’s doing there. Dugong explains that the mermaids got mad. Sheila, Esther, and Pilar go outside. Pilar notices that the sand is wet. They go to the water and see Marina, Vixia, and Quiana. Esther asks Marina if she’s ok. Marina explains what happened. They’re shocked. Victoria blames Dugong since she lied and kept secret about knowing Marina is Cristina. Victoria’s mad and calls Dugong a traitor.

~ On the beach, Marina fells she won’t get feet again because her tail came back because of Victoria, NOT because of the full moon. Quiana says that she can go back to Dugong, but Istah says that as long as Victoria is there, Marina can’t go to Dugong.
~ In the lair, Dugong tells Victoria not to be mad at her and to even thank her since she saved her life from drowning in the water. Victoria is upset. Dugong doesn’t want them to fight and even help each other.
~ In the morning, Raphael and Quintin see that Pilar, Sheila, and Esther are quiet. He asks if there’s a problem, and Quintin asks where’s Marina. Raphael tells him not to look for the missing and tells them that he’s going to town to get some things. Pilar tells Quintin that Marina’s in her room sleeping.
~ Marina is being impatient waiting for Victoria to go back on land. Vixia asks Marina what is she going to pay Dugong for her feet. Istah tells Marina not to worry since Dugong won’t deny giving her what she wants.

~ During breakfast, Leon asks Esther if she’s ok because she hasn’t eaten. Esther excuses herself from the table. Isabel asks if Esther’s sickness is back, but Pilar denies it and tells them to keep eating.
~ Luna goes home and doesn’t see Victoria. She sees Azon and asks if she has seen Victoria. Azon tells her furiously that from this day on, they don’t care about her mother. Luna doesn’t understand. Azon asks how can anyone NOT be mad when someone just used them and made them believe that she’s their goddess. Luna tells her not to judge Victoria since she has done many good things, but Azon suspects that Luna could also be playing them and walks away.
~ Victoria is still mad. Dugong offers to bring her safely back on land and make her not paralyzed. But Dugong cautions her not to use her powers a lot, not until Luna is able to heal her. Victoria splashes water on Dugong.
~ Marina doesn’t understand how Dugong will help her without any payment. The mermaids explain that Istah traded her life and the necklace for Marina to get feet. So if she dies, Dugong will too. They tell that while waiting for Victoria to leave, she should swim around and look for her “tunay ng pag-ibig.” Marina smiles.

~ Marina is swimming around while Victoria walks on the water back to land. She thinks to herself and warns everyone, even Dugong, to be ready when Luna gets her power.
~ Marina goes to Neptuna. She explains that she’s look for a man, her “tunay ng pag-ibig.” Neptuna tells her not to worry because she’s close to seeing him, but warns her that Dugong and Victoria might see him first...


Episode 35: April 13, 2004
~ Marina’s shocked. Neptuna tells her that something bad is going to happen and it’s going to result in a death. Marina’s worried and asks who it is, but Neptuna just advises her to be careful and gives her a stake.
~ Pearly is having a hard time giving Dugong a pedicure and comments that Victoria is so mean when she is actually really nice on land. Pearly says that Victoria is her idol, but Dugong laughs and says that she should be her idol. Dugong explains that she’s actually the one who has the power to give the town their fish whenever. Pearly starts laughing because they’re cousins but don’t trust each other. Dugong tells her to stop laughing. Pearly obeys and Dugong is the one who laughs.
~ Sheila goes to Esther, who’s worried about Marina. Sheila assures her not to be worried for she’s with the mermaids, but Esther wonders when Marina’s tail will be gone. Sheila assures her that Marina will gain feet again with the mermaids help. Esther smiles.
~ Marina tells the mermaids what Neptuna said. Vixia and Quiana is sure that it will be Victoria or Dugong’s doing. Marina tells them they have to be extra careful.
~ On the beach, Sheila sees “Mr. Lonely” (Raphael). He jokes that it’s a coincidence Marina is always missing whenever it’s a full moon. She laughs and he notices her smile since it reminds him of someone. She comments that if this ex-girlfriend looks like her then she’s very pretty and asks where she is. Reluctantly, he explains that his ex-girlfriend was a mermaid and her mother didn’t like him, so she killed his parents. She’s shocked and asks the name. Raphael says, “Dugyot.”

~ Sheila tries to walk away, but Raphael pulls her back. She pretends that she feels sick. He wants to get her water, but she just tells him to leave her. She’s can’t believe what she just heard.
~ At Lorelei’s house, Manding, Azon, and Gaspar have brought food for Lorelei and Elias to eat. They ask for forgiveness, but Lorelei doesn’t understand what they’re talking about. They explain to her that it’s true everything she said, and Azon promises that from now on they will believe her rather than someone smart, like Victoria. Luna has overhead this.
~ By the pool, Leon and Isabel watch Esther walking around. He asks her if Esther is sad all the time. She says that before she was always like that, especially when they were selling the resort, but when Marina became her partner, it’s like her world became happier. She doesn’t understand why Esther is acting sad again. He wonders if Marina has a problem, but she doesn’t know since she never sees her. They both conclude that Esther and Marina have a problem. Pilar goes to them and knows that they’re talking about Esther. Pilar orders a reluctant Isabel to go upstairs.
~ In Dugong’s lair, she’s calling for Pearly and sees Marina. Dugong asks her to leave because every time she sees her there’s always a problem and she’s the one getting in trouble. Marina asks for her help, but Dugong wants her to go to someone else. Marina wants to get her feet again, but Dugong doesn’t want to - no matter the payment. So Marina says it’s better that she kill herself because she doesn’t have any purpose in life if she’s not a human. Dugong falls into the trap and agrees to do it, but this will be the last time since her powers are limited and only if she doesn’t kill herself. Dugong uses her powers to turn Marina’s tail into feet.
~ Back at the mermaid’s beach, Marina thanks all of them. Istah says that because they all love her so much, they will do anything for her. They say goodbye, and Marina swims away.
~ Raphael tells Quintin that Sheila’s reaction was strange. Quintin comments that his love life is strange. Raphael says that Sheila wasn’t shocked that his ex-girlfriend was a mermaid and it felt like she knew her name.
~ On the balcony, Leon feels bad, but Isabel tells him to just get used to her and her mom. He’s worried it looks like he’s getting into their business, but she explains that Pilar is just worried about Esther. He doesn’t understand, and Isabel tells him that she doesn’t understand a lot of things - like when they talk about mermaids. He’s shocked and she explains that she hates them. He jokes that she’ll get a tail if she keeps talking like that, but she doesn’t think it’s funny and walks away. He calls her to come back.
~ Dugong is now the one singing and dancing “Pamela.” Pearly wonders why she’s happy. Dugong says that they’re going somewhere. Pearly gets excited. Dugong tells her to carry the batong larusa and says that they’re going to visit Dugyot. Pearly’s shocked.

~ That night Marina is in her bathroom with Esther, Pilar, and Sheila. Pilar says that Marina came back at the wrong time since it’s a full moon so she still has her tail and asks Esther if she’s going to the ocean. Esther, who’s fanning Marina, is worried to bring her there because of Dugong and Victoria. Sheila assures her not to be worried because she won’t leave her. Istah sees in the batong dignoy that Dugong’s going to kill Sheila and so tells them they have to help. While Marina and Sheila are sleeping, Dugong and Pearly appear in the bathroom...


Episode 36: April 14, 2004
~ Pearly comments that their entrance is “ibang klase,” but Dugong tells her not to be loud sine Marina is in the bathroom. They’re both happy that they’re going to succeed. Sheila wakes up and is mad. Dugong tells her that she’s going to kill her, and Pearly points the batong larusa at her. Sheila says that she won’t kill her. Dugong mocks her being scared, thinks that Sheila can’t kill her again, and says it’s the end for her. Meanwhile, the mermaids are swimming during a full moon in the ocean. Dugong explains that her batong larusa will beat her batong malu (“na magiging marshmallow”) and they laugh. Sheila says that she’s wrong. Just when they’re about to use the batong larusa, the mermaids throw the takip to the moon. It makes the moon purple and the batong doesn’t work and disappears. They don’t understand what happened. Marina crawls to Sheila. Sheila explains to Dugong that it wouldn’t work unless she used her power. Dugong’s shocked and they get worried that Sheila’s going to use her power. They run to the bathroom and disappear in the toilet. Marina and Sheila laugh and the mermaids cheer. Later, Marina and Sheila talk to the mermaids in the sink water. Sheila thanks them. Istah explains that the batong larusa puts people on fire and tells her to be careful since Dugong might use it again.
~ In Dugong’s lair, Pearly is dancing and singing “Pamela.” Dugong’s irritated and tells Pearly to stop because she’s upset that the batong larusa didn’t work. Pearly tells her not to be mad and maybe it’s time she say that she’s “laos” because she’s always losing. Dugong says it’s the mermaids’ fault and never wants to help them again. Pearly tells her that she would give all the mermaids feet so they can never leave their beach and drown. Pearly laughs at her joke, but Dugong likes her suggestion. Pearly continues to sing and dance.
~ In the bed, Esther is keeping Marina’s tail damp. Esther is mad about what Dugong tried to do. Sheila says it’s a good thing that the mermaids helped her.

He demands that she drink it and says that he thought she loved him. Luna doesn’t understand since it’s just juice. Victoria is controlling Randolph’s mind.

~ Marina knows that Sheila has a problem. Sheila tells her that she talked to Raphael and has to admit, but Marina is shocked and figures out that her Raffy is Raphael. Marina’s happy for her because they can get back together. Sheila says that it’s not that easy since she’s the reason why his parents died and doesn’t want him to find out that she’s Dugyot.
~ Luna goes home and confronts Victoria about Randolph. Victoria denies it, but Luna tells her to stop lying.

~ Luna, crying and upset, asks her why she did that. Victoria admits to doing it, but just wanted her to be happy. Luna reminds her that she wants someone to love her because they truly do. Victoria asks for forgiveness because she just wanted her to come back home and get the power.
