Magic Potion

Synopsis
Caroline goes searching for a moon pool, but finds a potion instead. She eventually decides to drink it. What will happen?

Plot
The episode starts with Caroline watching a video of another show called "The 3 Tails". She turns off the computer and goes to play with Penny. They go to their backyard to play more. Caroline says that if she looks for a moon pool she could find one. They looked for an hour, but no avail. Later, Penny finds something in their backyard and Caroline sees a pot that says "for ice cream". She takes it home, and thinks it could be a mermaid potion, poison, or litter. She decides it's a mermaid potion and drinks. She went to throw the rest down the sink but her ponytail fell in. She put it on when she noticed Penny's water bowl was empty. When she gave water to her her hands got wet and she turned into a mermaid. She got dry with a sock Penny had in her mouth. She told Penny that her situation was shaping up to be like the mermaid shows but that hers was going to be different because she wasn't going to keep it a secret. Before telling David, she took off her ponytail. When she was going to tell David her secret, she wet her hands in the sink but her transformation didn't work. She thought that when if someone drinks the potion once, they get a tail once. The next day, Caroline had her hair in a braid and went to wash her hands. She turned into a mermaid. She was happy but confused. She later found out that she can only turn into a mermaid with her ponytail because it got wet with the potion. The episode ends with Caroline trying to see if she had powers, but no avail.
