In Siren season 1 episode 3, titled "Interview with a Mermaid," the coastal town of Bristol Cove is continuing to reel from the discovery of the mermaid, Ryn. We learn more about Ryn's motivations and past as marine biologists Ben and Maddie conduct a series of tests on her at the local marine research center.

The episode begins with Maddie gathering supplies for Ryn's upcoming examination, including a large tank to hold her in. Meanwhile, Ben visits his estranged father, Ted, a fisherman who has had numerous run-ins with mermaids throughout his life. Ted warns Ben about the danger Ryn poses to the town and urges him to reconsider getting involved with her.

Back at the marine research center, Maddie and Ben begin their examination of Ryn. They run tests on her brain function and physical abilities, discovering that she has a remarkable sense of hearing and can hold her breath for up to an hour. The duo also deduces that Ryn is likely not used to living on land and may have spent her entire life in the water.

As they continue their testing, Ryn becomes agitated and tries to escape from the tank. In her anxiety, she reveals more about her past, including her connection to another mermaid who was captured by humans and experimented on. Maddie and Ben realize that other humans may be after Ryn and fear for her safety.

Meanwhile, another local fisherman, Xander, is determined to prove that the mermaids are real and responsible for the disappearance of his friend. He enlists the help of a local news reporter, who agrees to sneak him into the marine research center to get a glimpse of Ryn. Xander's obsession with the mermaids puts him on a collision course with Ben and Maddie, who are desperate to keep Ryn's existence a secret.

The episode ends with Ryn escaping from the marine research center and disappearing into the ocean. Despite the threat of further experimentation and harm from humans, Ryn seems determined to stay in Bristol Cove and learn more about the humans and their world.

"Interview with a Mermaid" is a tense and action-packed episode that further explores the mythology of Siren's mermaids. As Ben and Maddie work to understand Ryn, they are forced to confront their own preconceived notions about her and her kind. With Xander's determination to uncover the truth about the mermaids and Ryn's own desire to learn about humanity, it is clear that the conflict between humans and mermaids is far from over.
