[♪♪♪]

GRANDMAMAH: The ocean is a mysterious world.

One that land dwellers
can only begin to imagine.

Of course, you think you know
what lies beneath the surface.

Ah, but the sea creatures who live there,

well, even the ones you have imagined,

you've imagined them wrong.

Take the mythical,
mighty giant kraken.

Bloodthirsty monster,

sinker of ships,
drowner of sailors.

[LAUGHING]

That's what you people think.

You see, in real life,
krakens are noble protectors.

The sea will always need a kraken,

and a kraken will always answer the call.

Hey, Margot.

Well, I chickened out last night,

but I'm going to ask her now,
right now, this second.

MARGOT: Did you do the confidence-building

exercise I taught you?

RUBY: I did something even better.

[SONG ENDS]

Oh, hey.
[CLEARS THROAT]

Junior prom is the sacred rite
of every human teenager.

As a kraken who is barely pulling off

this whole human thing,

I need to be there so that I can blend in.

And, as a proud mathlete,

I know that to find a potential solution,

I have to evaluate the problem.

Now, I know the rules.

Our family is not allowed
in the ocean, ever.

For any reason.

And I love rules.

I do.
I really, really do.

But the prom boat is on the water,

- not in the water.
- [THUNDER CRASHING]

"What if there's a storm?"
you might ask.

Well, I've analyzed weather trend data,

and my trusty friend, the Internet,

has assured me that it will be
smooth sailing on prom night.

And lastly, this is the captain
of said prom boat.

Look into those eyes.

Tell me he hasn't seen it all.

I trust him with my life,
and so should you.

And that is why I, Ruby Gillman,

should go to prom.
Thank you.

Please, please, please, please, please!

Strong presentation.

I like the energy,
but it's still a no, honey.

But, Mom, evidence,
science, Internet.

Trust me, Ruby,
I know what's best for you.

And what's best is to always stay on land.

That's why we moved here.

It's much safer for us.

Sorry, Tadpole, Mom's right.

MOM: Sam, breakfast!

Hey, didn't you say
that prom was a postbolognal...

Postcolonial patriarchal construct.
It is.

But we would go as a group.

As a form of protest.

Wow.
So brave.

What do you think?
I had these printed for my big launch party.

I think I'm in love.

- Blech.
- Do you still need me to be there?

Yes.
This is a make-or-break moment.

I'm selling an entire development.

But, Mom, you're...

Agatha Gillman,

and I slay the competition.

She got us our dream home,
and I'm not asking how.

Well, I just want to show potential buyers

what a happy Oceanside family looks like.

I'll be closing my shop for
the day so I can man the grill.

From chill man to grill man.

[GROANS]

Ooh, Arthur, you should think about

hiring someone to help you.

Business has been booming
since you started Bottled Up.

Hey there.

Welcome back to Bottled Up.

Now, let's hoist those sails.

Magic.

Wow, you two are quite the power couple.

You think that's great?

You're looking at
the undefeated dodgeball champ.

- [WHISTLE BLOWING]
- [♪♪♪]

- [SAM LAUGHING]
- [KIDS GRUNTING]

He's a legend.
Ooh.

Yeah, yeah.
You guys are all crushing it.

Oh, Ruby, don't sell yourself short.

You're amazing at math.

I am the reason Connor's passing algebra.

SAM: Oh, Connor.

- So dreamy.
- Sam.

Ow. You're the one in love with him.

- Hey, hey. Stop. You each landed one.
- [GROANS]

Marine Biologist Quarterly?

Oh, Ruby.
You're still reading this trash?

Humans don't know everything
about the ocean.

Mom, there's a whole world down there

that I have never seen.

Jellyfish, plankton, coral reefs...

But what else lives there?

I know.
Monsters.

And those monsters
want to hurt krakens like us.

This is where we belong.
Oceanside is our home.

Then help me fit in by letting me go to prom.

Ruby, the answer is no.

[SQUEAKING]

- Time to go.
- [RUBY GROANS]

- Mom.
- Gillman dishes to Gillman.

The fadeaway at the buzzer,

- and it's good!
- Yeah.

Woo-hoo!

Limb up, everyone.

Let's all have a very human day.

Does it bother you guys that we
lie to everyone all the time?

Oh, we're not lying.
We're just omitting.

Yeah, okay.

And remember...

OTHERS: If anyone asks,
we're from Canada.

[♪♪♪]

[BOAT HORNS BLOWING]

- [SCREAMS]
- [TIRES SCREECHING]

- [PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]
- Whoa, what's happening?

- Are we supposed to be stopped?
- Is our tour over?

Apologies for the unplanned interruption, folks.

Well, look what the tide dragged in, Davey.

Ahoy, Mr.--
Captain Gordon Lighthouse, sir.

Aren't you one of them Gillmans?

Guilty.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Just kidding. Not guilty.
Totally normal.

- Is she blue?
- I'm from Canada... eh.

["O CANADA" PLAYING]

- Oh...
- [TOURISTS MURMURING]

That totally makes sense.

I've got my eye on you, Gillman girl.

And my other eye, too!

[OVER SPEAKER]
Our tour begins where 15 years ago,

I swear I saw the monstrous giant kraken.

And to your right,
Oceanside's best saltwater taffy.

- Ask for the Gordon Lighthouse discount.
- [QUACKING RINGTONE]

Hey, guys.

- Yo. Greetings.
- So, how did it go?

Yes.
I'm dying to find out.

Same.
I've been stress-gaming.

Well, it's official.
Mom won't let me go to prom.

And I know it's not what we wanted,

but we still have plan B,

our very cool anti-prom party.

And what is the most
liberated food out there?

Guys, I'm talking fondue.

Ruby, um, I'm just gonna
come right out and say it.

Kayla asked me to the prom.

- Oh.
- And, uh,

I said carpe diem.
[GIGGLING]

Aka, I said yes.

- What?
- I said yes.

No, I got that.
Loud and clear.

RUBY: Okay, Margot has torn our hearts

into a million tiny pieces,

and that's fine.

More fondue for the rest of us, right, guys?

BLISS: Yeah, uh,

once Margot was going with Kayla,

Trevin said, "Oh, well,
should we just go together?"

And I agreed.

So Trevin and I are going
to the prom together.

As friends.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
Yeah, only as friends.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- RUBY: What?

What?

Sorry, Ruby.

We promised to always stick together.

Does squad solidarity mean nothing to you?

Well, of course it does.

Which is why you should come with us.
You'll be on a boat.

You'll be completely safe.

Unless there's a tragic accident.

- Bliss, no catastrophizing.
- Sorry.

You guys know my mom,
and that is why we made plan B.

Margot, just bring Kayla
to our anti-prom party.

We will watch bad movies.

We'll dip Swiss.

Enough with the fondue!

We eat a lot of cheese.

Wheels of it.

Think about how many events we've missed

in squad solidarity

because of your mom's
irrational anti-ocean rule.

I guess a few.

What? There was the field trip
to the submarine museum.

The school beach day.

- All-county surf contest.
- TREVIN: The Grunion Fun Run.

MARGOT: The Oceanside Festival of the Bard.

BLISS: My grandmother's beach birthday party.

MARGOT: Kayla's beach birthday party!

TREVIN: Any birthday party but Bliss's.

You're always welcome at the graveyard.

But this isn't just any party.

This is prom.

And I really want to be a part of it.

We all do.

Yeah.
No, I get it.

You guys should go without me.

It's one thing for my mom to ruin my life.

She doesn't have to ruin yours.

Uh, what if you don't tell her?

Gasp of exclamation!

Trevin's right.
Your mom doesn't have to know.

Deception.
I'm on board.

Come on, Ruby.
Do it.

Do it.

I want to,
but if my mom finds out, uh...

Oh, life is not a dress rehearsal.

It's time for you to go big and go to prom.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay.

[SIGHS]
You're right.

Okay, I'll do it.

- I'll go to prom.
- Yes!

And I'm gonna ask Connor.

Connor?

Okay, that's a...
that's a big swing there.

Whoo.
But we are here for it.

Step one, you're going to need a prom-posal.

Blue-sky with me, people.
Any ideas?

Maybe I can ask him with something epic,

like an advanced quadratic equation.

And when I solve it,
the answer is...

prom.

Ruby, my sweet, wide-eyed,
dumbest smart person ever,

you cannot ask Connor to prom with homework.

But look how it graphs.
It's cool.

It is not cool.

A good prom-posal is art.

Showmanship is the name of the game

in this hormone-fueled
benchmark of adolescence.

A ritual that embodies the ultimate

in high risk, high reward.

- [♪♪♪]
- Now, you get one shot at prom

and one shot at persuading your
Romeo that you are his Juliet.

With stakes this high,
the only option is to go big.

[OVER P.A.]
MAN: Everyone, don't forget to RSVP for prom,

the most important day of your lives.

I almost asked Connor to prom with homework.

We got you, Ruby.
There are so many other options.

Here, this is the first draft,
but with this script

and my favorite prop from clown school...

Mm, I don't know.
Do you have something a little smaller?

Tone down the drama, you say?

- I know just the thing.
- What's that?

A commercial-grade DJ confetti cannon.

You just ask Connor to prom,
push this button,

and the confetti will rain down
like closing night on Broadway.

Uh, maybe I abandon this whole

"ask your dream guy to prom" thing.

CONNOR: Yo, hit me up later.

- Hey, Connor.
- Hey, Ruby.

What's up?

Um, hey.

So, I was wondering,

did you see, like,
all those prom-posals

around school this morning?

- Yes.
- Hmm.

They kind of weird me out.

Just ask someone.

It doesn't have to be this big proposal.

It's crazy, right?

Oh, yeah, I hear that.

And besides, prom is a postcolonial

- patriarchal construct.
- Patriarchal construct.

- Exactly.
- Exactly.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

It could be fun to go
with the right person, though.

Oh.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Yeah.
Totally.

I go.

Wait. Okay, no. But seriously,
what-what did you want to say?

Um, Connor, I...

I...

- ...think I'm gonna be sick.
- Whoa.

Hey.
Are-are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I get seasick sometimes
when I'm next to the ocean.

It's genetic.

You know, my sisters do this

Ooh. Whoops.
Wait, what's this?

- Hah. Oh. That? Never seen that before.

I mean I-I didn't do it.

[LOW CROWD CHATTER]

I spot little mister skater boy

Shush, shush. Ooh.
My story.

Now, I'm not much of a swimmer,
but in that moment,

I remembered what my mother always told me:

"You are gorgeous."

Also, "Big risk, big reward.

Always go big."

And what is bigger than saving a life?

[CHEERING]

Yes, queen.
Get it.

I love you so much.

Love you, too, rando.

She pointed at me.
I'm Rando.

Oh, no.
What's happening?

- Watch it.
- Ah. Excuse me.

Wait.

We haven't met.

I'm Chelsea,
Chelsea Van Der Zee.

- It's Dutch. Kusjes!
- GIRL: So exotic.

GIRL #2: I love you.

- And you are?
- I'm, um...

I'm Ruby Gillman.

It's Canadian... eh.

Okay, maybe it's the whole
"don't look at me" vibe,

but there's something different about you.

I-I really gotta go now.

- BOY: Uh, are you good?
- BOY #2: What's wrong with her?

BOY #3: Yeah, you might need
to lie down for a little bit.

BOY #2: Yeah, that's awkward.

GIRL: What's her deal?

Is she gonna barf?

- Freaking out.

Oh, you've picked a great place to raise a kid.

It's so safe here in Oceanside.

Moving my family here was
the best decision I ever made.

Doug actually grew up here.

We're moving back so that we can be closer
to his folks when the little one comes.

Hello, free babysitting.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Please don't be mad.

[LAUGHS, SNIFFLES]

You mean Clarence J. Whifferton?

How could I forget?

Clarence J. Whifferton.

You stood next to him
with a hose for seven hours

until the tide came back in.

Oh, yeah.
[SNIFFLES]

I asked you if I could keep him.

Where would we even have put him?

We had a hose.
A garage.

Come on.
I would have taken care of him.

I know you would have.

Yes.
I'm normal.

Well, almost normal.
Thank you.

Mom, what is happening?!

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hey, Tadpole.
What's up?

How would I know?
No one tells me anything.

Ruby went into the ocean, Arthur.

- Oh, no!
- And you didn't die?

- Die? Why would she die?
- Oh, no.

- Who's this guy?
- Who's this kid?

Uh, that's our son, Sam.

Son? As in, I'm an uncle? Again?

I've never had an uncle before.

And I've never had a nephew before.

Ruby, take a deep breath.

Let me explain.

You see, when you went
in the ocean, it triggered...

Uh, it released...

The kraken!

[HORN TOOTING]

[SIGHS]
What Brill means

is you turn into a giant kraken.

I know this is a lot to process, Ruby,

but you're not alone.

I turn into a giant kraken, too.

What?
What?

You knew?

So, I'm this?

The horrible stereotype of krakens

that you said humans made up.

- I'm offended.
- It sells. [HORN TOOTS]

So what else is true about me, Mom?

Do I sink ships now?
Do I terrorize sailors?

No. No, honey.
Not at all.

All this time, you told me
we were hiding from monsters,

and it turns out I'm the monster.

You lied to me.

Think of it more as a tiny omission.

Come on. Turn giant.
I'm recording.

Sam, put it away.

But this is the coolest thing ever.

It is not cool.

I was already a little weird,
but this?

- I can't hide this.
- Yes, you can.

You don't get it, Mom.

Every single day,
I make sure no one notices

all the ways that I am different.

I push my hair in front of my gills,

and I stand like I have a spine.

It's hard, but this is impossible.

No, because you can control it, Ruby.

Just like I have for all these years.

Yeah, but you didn't have to go
to high school with tentacles.

Do I get tentacles, too?

Sorry, son. Only the women
in our family turn giant.

The men just become older,
rounder versions of ourselves.

- It's not great.
- [PHONE DINGING]

AGATHA: Ruby, listen.

The ocean triggers the transformation.

But if you stay on dry land,

you'll stay small and on two legs.

Cool. Everyone at school
is talking about the monster

that destroyed the library.

As long as no one figures out
it was you, we're safe.

Your body is going through changes.

Think of it as blossoming.

Ugh, Dad.

Do your tentacles ooze poison?

- AGATHA: Sam!
- How is this even happening right now?

As long as you stay out of the ocean...

- Your body is a flower.
- [RUBY GROANING]

- Do you grow any extra arms?
- Blossoming.

- Women are so lucky.
- Things will go back to normal.

- [HORN TOOTING]
- Can everyone just stop?!

Dad, this isn't a good thing.

Sam, I'm going to strangle you with my tentacles.

And, Mom, I can't.

I just can't right now.

Ah, she forgot to do me.

I don't even know you!

[CHITTERING]

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

BRILL: Well, why can't we just talk about it?

AGATHA: Because it doesn't matter.

Keep it down, Brill.

BRILL: Sis, if I could find you,

then it's only a matter of time

before the rest of the ocean can, too.

I can handle this on my own.

Just come home and talk to her.

- She wants to help Ruby.
- [AGATHA SCOFFS]

She never just helps, though,
does she?

[SIGHS] At least tell Ruby
the whole truth.

AGATHA: Ruby's life is on land now, Brill.

I know you mean well,
but you need to stop.

Go home and let me take care of my daughter.

Aggie...

[SIGHS]

I can't believe Mom is still
hiding things from me.

[SQUEAKS]

[GASPS]
Nessie, you tiny genius.

That guy can't hide anything.

[CHITTERING]

MAN #2: Good idea.

WOMAN: I can do both for you.

The kraken has returned!

Brill?

[SEAGULL SQUAWKING]

Where is he? Where is he?
Where is he?

[SIGHS]

[BRILL SCREAMING]

- Brill?
- BRILL: Get off me, you feathery demons.

- [SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]
- Ow! You winged dopes.

Ow, hey, hey.

Save yourself.
It's too late for me.

Forget the corn dog.

[GASPS] Did you see that?
They took my stick snack.

Uncle Brill, focus.

- I need to know.
- Mm-hmm?

Who sent you here?

Mmm.
No. No, no, no. No.

Please don't ask me things.

I'm so bad at keeping secrets.

Just talk to your mom.

- Mom won't tell me anything.
- Well, neither will I.

She should be the one to tell
you about your grandmother.

[GRUNTS]

- My what?
- Nothing.

I didn't say grandmother.
What?

Uh, I said landlubber.
Ahoy?

- I have a grandmother?
- No, no, no.

Please, uh, don't listen to me.

I don't know what I'm saying.

- I'm hungry, and I'm traumatized from before.
- Wait.

- It's the birds...
- If only the women in our family

turn into giant krakens,

then she's a giant kraken, too.

Uh, let the record show
I kept that part a secret.

- Is she here?
- What? No.

Your grandmother would never leave the ocean.

Honestly, I don't know how your
mom did it all these years.

Land is not built for a giant kraken.

- You're right.
- Mm-hmm.

It's not.

[SIGHS]

I don't know the first thing
about being a giant kraken.

But it's not fair to keep me in the dark.

Nope.
Not at all.

I can't keep waiting for answers.

- [WAVES CRASHING]
- [♪♪♪]

I need to take control of my own life.

You go, girl.

- I'm a kraken.
- Preach.

And if I want answers,
then there's only one person who can help me.

- Your mom.
- My grandmother.

Yeah. No. What?

I can't let you do that.

- Your mom will kill me.
- [GRUNTING]

[GROANS, SIGHS]

Uncle Brill...
[SIGHS]

...you have been more helpful
than you can imagine.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

You know, this is the first hug
we've had in 15 years.

Then I'm really sorry.

- For what?
- This.

Oh!
A stick snack.

It's Ruby's time now.

You said you'd be okay with it, huh?

Of course, Mamah.

I'm not that needy, so...

I can't believe you're my grandmother.

Please, call me Grandmamah.

You seem surprised by the level

of general majesty and royal splendor.

I definitely wasn't expecting
the whole queen thing.

Your mother never told you
you were royalty?

I guess it was another tiny omission.

Tiny omission?!

- Agatha!
- [GASPS]

[WHOOSHING]

Don't worry.
I go to therapy now.

I see a wise hammerhead shark

Away, rage.

Ah, cookies.

Help yourself, Ruby.

Mmm. They're really...
they're really good.

A little mushy.

I made someone make them myself.

Now, talk to your grandmamah.

Tell me everything.

Was it horrible living among
the hairy crust dwellers?

- You mean people?
- [LAUGHING]

Even the word makes my tentacles squirm.

People are kinda nice, actually.

I have a couple of friends.

I asked a boy to prom,

Well, deary, you can put

You're made for bigger things.

[PANTING]

[SQUEAKS]

So, Grandma...

Uh, "Grandmamah."

It goes up on the second "mah."

Oh, sorry.
Um, Grandmamah,

um, you have the wrong person.

I'm just Ruby Gillman,
normal teenager.

Normal according to who?

The women in our family

have been gifted the mighty power

to turn into giant kraken.

You are only one of three giant
krakens on this Earth, Ruby.

We must protect the ocean
and its creatures.

But many monsters have coveted our position

and have tried to seize
the throne for themselves.

Brag alert, they never succeeded.

The Leviathan,

Umibozu,

and the most power-hungry
and dangerous of them all...

The mermaid?

Yes, the mermaid!

But people love mermaids.

Of course they do.

People are stupid.

Mermaids are selfish,
vain narcissists

with mediocre hair,

and their queen, Nerissa,
the worst of them all.

She wanted to control the ocean

and force its creatures
to serve her and her alone.

Normally, mermaids would be
no match for us giant kraken--

much too puny--

but their queen found an ancient weapon,

the Trident of Oceanus.

The only weapon powerful enough
to defeat a giant kraken.

We formed the front lines against her,

- and for that...
- [WARRIORS SHOUTING, GRUNTING]

...we paid a terrible price.

Frankly, I suppose we'd all be kelp toast

if it wasn't for your mother.

No way.

That's my mom?

Was she actually cool?

She was our greatest warrior.

I mean, of course she was.
I taught her everything I know.

She engaged in a great battle
with the tyrant mermaid

and wrested away the Trident.

I called it her "queen-making moment."

It was glorious.

Nerissa fled in disgrace.
[CHUCKLES]

We had a chance to crush the mermaids forever,

but your mother did the unfathomable.

She hid the Trident away,

left her kingdom, left her kind,

all to play human?

[WHOOSHING]

Whoa.

You have laser eyes?

Well, it's electrically charged bioluminescence,

but, yeah, they do pack a wallop.

You have the powers,
too, you know.

Besides growing big at super awkward moments?

You're special, Ruby.

You feel it in the core of your being.

Let me teach you.

But my mom told me that
if I stay out of the ocean,

I won't turn into a...

A giant kraken?

You are not a human who turns into a kraken.

You're a kraken hiding as a human.

Once you know what you're capable of,

you'll want to be the next kraken queen.

It's your birthright.

And fight as you might,
fight as you will,

you can never outswim your destiny.

I don't know, Grandmamah.

I like math and Connor.

You know, teen stuff.

Very well.

I loved spending this time with you, Ruby.

Me, too.

Thank you for telling me the truth.

Until we meet again.

Wait.
You're just gonna let her go?

She'll be back.

A kraken always answers the call.

That's what you said about Agatha.

[♪♪♪]

Bye, Clarence.

H-How are you even down here?

Because I'm a motherflippin' mermaid.

I figured I owed you an underwater rescue

100% got credit for yours.

[BREATHLESSLY]
Okay.

I still can't believe you're a...

A ten with a fin?
A fish come true?

A mermaid?

Ooh, I can't believe I can
finally have a friend

to share things with.

A super sea-girl bestie.

Look, Chelsea, thanks for what
you did back there,

but I started this day thinking
that my biggest issue was prom.

And now, I got a whole lot more going on.

So I just need to go home,

get some sleep and pretend
this day never happened.

Look, I just thought
we had a lot in common,

but if you're gonna be salty
about it, then bye-bye.

[EXHALES, SNIFFS]

ARTHUR: Honey,

you've gotta stop beating yourself up.

Oh, Arthur.

I can't believe I didn't
tell her any of this sooner.

I mean, what was I thinking?

You were thinking about protecting her,

like you always have.

What if she drops out of school?

I mean, what if she doesn't get
a job and runs away like I did?

[GASPS] What if she hates me
like I hate my mom?

It's a slippery slope, Arthur.

Hate's a strong word.

And she loves you.

She'll never run away.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

Huh.
This doesn't help my case.

Ruby, hey.
How are you feeling?

Did you sleep okay?
Everything back to normal?

Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Totally fine.

Are you sure?
Oh, you look a little flushed.

Mom, I'm fine.
Really.

[SNIFFING]

Ruby, is that salt water on your breath?

Salt water?
What?

No.
I really gotta go.

Good. Okay.
Well, if you do want to talk,

I'll be right here.

I just... I just really want you to know

that you never have to hide things from me.

- Hmm, like you?
- What did you say, honey?

Nothing.
Bye, Mom.

Love you.

But you're crushing it at school.

Everyone loves you.

You really do have everything.

[SCOFFS]
No, I don't.

Ever since the Battle of the Trident,

all us mermaids have been in hiding.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I felt trapped, so I ran away.

But when I ended up at Oceanside High,
I was alone.

No one could see the real me.

And then I found you,
my super sea-girl bestie,

and now everything is right in the world.

If it wasn't for this whole

Hmm.

Chelsea, come on.

There must be some way to end this war

so you won't have to hide from the krakens

and I won't have to become
a prophesied princess warrior

of an interspecies vendetta.

Well, there is one way.

Picture this:

Chelsea Van Der Zee
and Ruby Gillman save the seas

by finding the Trident of Oceanus.

That giant fork my grandma's so obsessed with?

Yes. The Trident.
Stay with me.

Once we have the Trident,

we can show that there doesn't
have to be a war anymore.

It can be a symbol of peace.

Then my grandmother wouldn't
have to train me for battle.

I can live in the ocean
and on land as the real me.

No more fighting.

And the mermaids wouldn't have
to live in fear anymore.

No more hiding.

- No fighting.
- No hiding.

No fighting! No hiding!

I wouldn't have bought the boat,

Whoa.

What is this place?

CHELSEA: The Well of Seas.

The source of all the ocean's energy.

That's where your mother hid
the Trident of Oceanus.

She did?
How did you know that?

Because she took it from my mother,
the mermaid queen,

and hid it in there.

My mom died trying to get it back.

I am so sorry.

It's not your fault.

They were enemies.

So how are we supposed to get it?

Each current has its own force,
its own power.

You have to swim through
all of the currents

to get to the center
where the Trident is hidden.

Only a giant kraken can survive it.

It has to be you, Ruby.

Okay.

It's just an underwater volcano of death.

So, step one:
Evaluate the problem.

Before you freak out,
she is a mermaid,

Now.

Ruby, you have to listen to me.

You don't understand the danger you're in.

We left the ocean because of a mermaid.

Don't worry.
She's not like her mom.

- The mermaid queen.

She's the mermaid queen's daughter?

Yeah, but she's my friend.

She is not your friend.
She is dangerous.

You sound like Grandmamah.

For what?

Mom, don't you see?
This is our chance to fix everything.

Ruby, you are in over your head.

You do not know the whole story.

And whose fault is that?

Hey, I tried to talk to you.

I wanted to tell you everything sooner,

but I also needed to keep you safe

and give you a normal life.

Normal?
Normal isn't hiding in this fake town,

living a fake life.

I sacrificed everything

But trust me,
this is the wrong fight.

You're on the wrong side.

You can't tell me how to live my life.

Oh, yes, I can.
I am still your mother.

You are forbidden from going in the ocean again.

Some things never change.

You're trying to force your daughter

The difference is I didn't raise my daughter

to be a reflection of my glory.

Well, that's certainly true.

You raised her to run away and hide.

You still think I was scared to fight.

You think it was easy to start over?

To risk everything?

I never stopped fighting.

I fight for my family.

I fight for who I love.

You?

You just love to fight!

She's just a kid.

A sweet, naive kid.

What? No. Ruby,
that's not what your mom meant.

I promise.

You weren't there.

Well, I may not know a lot about a lot,

but I know my sister.

Growing up, I was so proud
to be her brother.

She was powerful, confident.

Everyone loved her.

But then she left,

she created on land.

And I realized,
your mom chose her own path.

She chose you.
