He is Bella's love interest, becomes closer to the girls once he discovers they are mermaids. The majority of the series deals with the girls having to cope with their new-found abilities that more often than not complicate their regular teenage-girl activities.
A number of complications arise, most prominently as the girls have to hide their powers for fear of the consequences of being found out. Although the girls make every effort to keep their secret safe, there is the constant danger as they can transform 10 seconds after being touched by the slightest drop of water. Because of Zane 's efforts to find out about the "sea monster" that saved his life while aboard Miss Chatham 's sinking boat, their secret is revealed to a few people: Zane, Harrsion Bennett Zane's father , and Dr.

In "Something Fishy", Cleo 's sister Kim finds her diary, which contains all the details of her, Emma and Rikki being mermaids.

Eventually, Kim's plan backfires with Cleo using her powers to protect herself from a water hose. Cleo tells Kim that the diary is for an English assignment and, therefore, is fiction. In the end of the episode, Cleo destroys the diary by hiding it at the bottom of the moon pool, making the pages unreadable.
Miss Chatham, one of the three original mermaids, lived on a boat and, accidentally, her boat ruined Zane's jet ski. Zane then seeks out revenge, and tries to take away her boat from the harbor. But, this does not occur due to Cleo , Emma , and Rikki trying to save her and her boat from Zane.
Later on, Zane overhears Miss Chatham talking to the girls' about her "treasure" in her boat, and later sneaks onto her boat to find it; no luck. Then, Zane threatens Miss Chatham to leave her boat or he will steal her "treasure".
Shocked by his comment, Miss Chatham leaves and heads to sea, but Zane follows. He sneaks onto her boat, and, overwhelmed, Miss Chatham has a minor heart attack. Zane seeks for the "treasure", but he accidentally starts a fire on the boat due to a knocked over lantern's oil hitting the engine. Emma and Lewis see the boat on fire from the mainland and scramble to rescue them, Lewis successfully gets Miss Chatham, but Zane gets trapped on the sinking boat.
Emma eventually tries to save him, even though her secret may be revealed. Emma searches for Zane and the "treasure", and finds the treasure a locket and pictures of her friends with tails. Emma rescues both Zane and the treasure but Zane sees Emma's tail and from then on he vows to find the "sea monster", which he later on figures out it's a mermaid. Emma discovers the first one, which has a blue crystal, at the bottom of the moon pool on Mako Island.
Later Emma gives it to Cleo because Cleo had a fond interest in the locket. She gives it to Cleo and says, "Anyone who can hide a mermaid tail in the middle of a party has got what it takes to look after that".
Cleo is later told by Miss Chatham that the locket belonged to Gracie. The second locket, which has a red crystal is found in an antique store when Rikki and Zane were shopping.

I'm a 39 year old mom and I love this show! My daughter 9 and I have watched it in the past and we're enjoying it again. For a series, this is really well put together.
Yes, there are some cheesy lines, but the girls do a nice job. They can't help it that they had era phones! Just enough innocent teen romance to keep it interesting. I wish there were more than three seasons.
FAQ 7. In season 1, when Dr. Denman saw Emma, Cleo, and Rikki enter the moon pool and "give up" their powers, why didn't Denman stick around to study the powers of the moon pool and Mako Island? If the girls turn into mermaids whenever they touch water, then how do they wash their "human" body and hair?
