Trivia[]

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a two-part episode with the same title in its fifth season.
  • The difficult choice Ben makes refers to him "choosing to save Ian from a watery grave"
  • Having witnessed Ryn transform and abducted her, Ian exposes the existence of merpeople on live television, describing them as "highly evolved apex predators."
  • The people of Bristol Cove learn that mermaids and mermen have existed all along. Though this is later proven to be false; nothing more than an apocalyptic future envisioned by a frightened Ben, had he chosen to spare Ian:
    • Ted Pownall now sees that his great-great-great-grandfather Charles was never crazy, that he had indeed fallen in love with a mermaid and had a half-human, half-mermaid child with her, and that he himself had actually encountered such a creature ten years ago while trying to save his newly paraplegic wife from drowning.
  • Xander is revealed to have kept the lure used to entice other merpeople to the military in said episode. To Ben's dismay, he only cares about how much money is offered for capturing a mermaid.
  • Thanks to Ryn's mermaid stem cells, Elaine has made significant progress; capable of lifting herself off her walker although this is only in the alternative timeline.
  • In the alternate timeline Beth Marzdan had tried to escape with several other merpeople/human hybrids, but was shot to death in the attempt. As a result, all Hybrids are implanted with tracking devices.
  • It is revealed that Bryan is the husband of Leena and that Meredith is their daughter, all of whom had schemed to steal the unborn child of Ryn and her mate to have a full-blooded child of their very own
