Ep 6. Pressure Cooker

Emma and Cleo are facing hurdles as they attempt to keep their secret - that they're mermaids - hidden from the world. It's not easy being a teenager with the weight of the world on their shoulders, especially when they have to find a way to balance school, friends, and their secret powers. But when Emma decides to enter a cooking competition using her mermaid abilities, things get a little more complicated.

Emma's opponent in the competition is a crab fisherman's daughter, Belinda. Belinda has a natural talent for cooking with seafood, and Emma finds it hard to compete with her skills. But Emma has a secret weapon - her mermaid powers! Emma decides to use her powers to enhance the flavor and texture of her cooking, something that gives her a huge advantage over Belinda.

Meanwhile, Cleo is feeling the pressure of having to keep their secret and pretend to be "normal" in front of her dad. Cleo's dad is a marine biologist and is fascinated with mermaids. He takes Cleo on a deep-sea diving excursion, hoping to find evidence of mermaids. Cleo is terrified that her dad will find out her secret, so she's forced to avoid showing off her powers.

The competition heats up as Emma and Belinda battle it out in the kitchen. Emma's mermaid-enhanced cooking has wowed the judges, and it looks like she's going to win. However, disaster strikes when Belinda accidentally spills hot oil on Emma's hand, burning it badly. Emma's secret is revealed when her mermaid tail appears in front of everyone, and she has to make a quick escape.

Cleo, who has been watching the competition from afar, rushes to Emma's side to help her recover. Together, the girls come up with a plan to cover up the mermaid sighting and keep their secret intact. They turn to Lewis for help, and together they come up with a solution that allows Emma to save face and keep her secret safe.

In the end, Emma learns a valuable lesson about the dangers of using her powers too recklessly, and Cleo learns that she can trust her friends to keep her safe. The pressure cooker that was their lives begins to simmer down, and the girls can relax knowing that they have each other's backs, no matter what.
