Episode Summary[]
Elliot and Wesley take the girls on a well-deserved island vacation. Everyone seems to enjoy the sun, sand and surf -- except for Bridget. Despite being infused with the DNA of a finless porpoise, she's never learned to swim. This changes when the mews meet a little girl named Cassandra who has a fear of the water because she almost drowned a few years prior to the episode. Bridget and Cassandra try to teach each other to be brave and to try swimming again, however Bridget almost drowns and then dreams with a mysterious light. Meanwhile, the Cyniclons Sardon and Tarb are on the ocean floor, culturing new Predasites.
As Bridget broods about her failures, Elliot reassures her that she'll find the bravery within her. Sure enough, when the Predasites attack and kick up a storm with 4 giant creatures, Mew Bridget dives in after Cassandra, who is trying to rescue a young boy. She sees again the strange light...and, suddenly, her legs turn into a fin. She is able to breathe underwater like a mermaid...and anyone she holds can do the same. As Mew Bridget leaps out of the water, the light weakens the Predasites, allowing the other girls to "Mewtilate" them.
On the last days of the vacation, Bridget is swimming quite well alongside Cassandra, while Elliot and Wesley are left to wonder if their Mew Mews have stronger powers than before.
