Ep 6. Showdown

In Siren season 1 episode 6 titled "Showdown," tensions continue to rise in the small coastal town of Bristol Cove as the mermaids' presence becomes increasingly difficult to hide. Ryn (Eline Powell) deals with the aftermath of her violent encounter with local fisherman Xander (Ian Verdun), who is determined to protect his friends and community from the perceived threat of the mermaids.

Meanwhile, marine biologist Ben (Alex Roe) and his girlfriend Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola) try to find a way to communicate with Ryn and discover her true intentions. But their efforts are complicated by the arrival of another mermaid, who has a more aggressive approach to humans and further fuels the town's fear and paranoia.

As the situation escalates, a "showdown" between the humans and mermaids seems inevitable. But who will come out on top, and will there be any hope for peaceful coexistence?
