The Golden Tail at Hampton Bays

Acrilla, Titan, and Noah return to the castle. The mermaids have decided to travel around the Atlantic near South America to get to the west coast and settle on the other side of the country in the North Pacific Ocean, off the coast of northern California. Many of the kids are excited to try a new ocean where the water is much more tropical and warm. Others, like Donnie and Aqua, however, do not show any excitement, knowing they have no choice. Finally returning home, Titan gathers all of the mermaids for another emergency meeting. While discussing Captain Samuel’s boat, Tyler quickly swims back to the castle in time to warn everyone about Captain Samuel in the area, preparing for a battle. He gets in front of Titan as he speaks to the mermaids.
