Ep 7. Dead in the Water

In Siren season 1 episode 7, titled "Dead in the Water", tensions continue to rise between the humans and mermaids of Bristol Cove. Ryn, the mermaid who saved marine biologist Ben's life, continues to adjust to life on land while hiding her true identity from the townspeople. Meanwhile, Ben and his colleagues continue their research on Ryn and her kind, trying to discover any new information that could help them understand the mermaids better.

The episode begins with a group of fishermen out at sea who catch something unexpected in their net. When they try to reel it in, they quickly realize they've caught a mermaid. The mermaid attacks them, forcing them to abandon their boat and swim to shore. When news of the incident reaches Ben and his team, they rush to investigate what happened and try to find the mermaid responsible.

Back on land, tensions between the humans and mermaids are at an all-time high. Xander, a fisherman who has been trying to capture and kill a mermaid for some time, is more determined than ever to catch one after the recent attack. He joins forces with Calvin, an old friend who helps him track down the mermaid responsible for attacking the fishermen.

Meanwhile, Ryn continues to struggle with her new life on land. She becomes increasingly frustrated by the humans around her and longs to return to the sea. When she hears about the mermaid attack on the fishermen, her curiosity gets the better of her and she decides to investigate. She makes her way to the dock where the fishermen's boat is anchored and is surprised to find Ben and his team there as well.

As tensions continue to rise between the humans and mermaids, the search for the mermaid responsible for the attack intensifies. Xander and Calvin come close to catching one when they notice a mermaid swimming in the waters near the dock. They chase after her, but she manages to get away. Unbeknownst to them, the mermaid they were chasing was actually Ryn, who narrowly escapes capture and makes her way back home.

The episode ends with the fishermen who were attacked by the mermaid being questioned by the police. They describe the mermaid as being incredibly strong and aggressive, causing concern among the humans that the mermaids may pose a bigger threat than they originally thought.

Overall, "Dead in the Water" is a tense and action-packed episode that highlights the growing tensions between the humans and mermaids of Bristol Cove. With both sides on edge and the discovery of a mermaid attack, it's clear that things are only going to get more complicated from here.
