Looks like Kim Setori got her wish.
- You know how Kim wanted to find out about the girls' mermaid powers? Well, thanks to Kim's actress Cleo Massey... she kind of got her wish. Whereas in this behind-the-scenes shot where the crew gave Cleo Massey a chance to try on one of the mermaid tails and go for a quick swim as pictured above.
- There's several fun moments in the first full moon episode, especially the part where Emma uses her powers to freeze Zane and Miriam's lips together.
- Emma's line to her aunt "Aunt Thea, your skirt... did you steal our picnic rug?"
- The entire episode is a nice Parental Bonus because of how similar it is to a teenager getting drunk for the first time at a family party.
- This exchange between Lewis and Rikki was quite amusing:Lewis: I have made an amazing discovery!
Rikki: You're an android! - When Emma is getting stressed about organizing her father's birthday party...Rikki: You're grinding your teeth.
Emma: It's called a smile, Rikki.- Earlier on, Emma snaps at her brother for decorating the house with black balloons. As soon as Rikki and Cleo arrive, Rikki takes one look at the balloons and says "Welcome to my Gothic world."
- "The Big Chill" is full of them, particularly thanks to Emma's Control Freak and zany behavior.Emma: You're six minutes and ten seconds late!
Rikki: Should I go stand in the naughty corner?- When Rikki quits her job out of frustration, Emma runs after her saying "you can't just quit. You have to fill out a resignation form!"
- When they're trying to deal with a frozen Miriam...
Lewis: Rikki will use her powers to try and warm the body—
Emma: Don't call her that!- When Miriam gets revived, Emma rushes forward and hugs her frantically while Miriam hasn't got a clue what's going on.
- The end of the episode has Wilfred noting that Rikki is doing quite well in her job, while he's very disappointed with how Emma behaved. Rikki decides to throw her job and immediately yells at a customer to drink her juice faster. What's funny is that the customer actually does.
- Most kids trying to fake being sick to get the day off school would pretend to cough or sneeze. What does Cleo do in "Under The Weather"? She pretends to faint.
- Moments later when the girls are asking her what the plan is, she says "I'm making this up as I go along" - in the proudest and most ditzy tone of voice ever.
- The entire house gets quarantined because Dr. Holt thinks the girls have some rare tropical illness. The specialist comes back with test results and the girls are all cleared as healthy - except for Elliott, who's got the measles. The reactions of Dr. Holt and the team she called in are priceless.
- Kim getting her comeuppance at the end. She discovers she accidentally caught the measles off Elliott (by drinking his water).
- For how dramatic Rikki's full moon night in "Bad Moon Rising" is and what a mess she is when Zane finds her in the burning forest on Mako Island... even her almost killing him with her powers doesn't keep him from commenting on what a hot kiss it was.
- In "Red Herring", Emma gets her hair dyed red. When Cleo and Rikki see the results...
- In "Love Potion", Cleo has an Imagine Spot where Lewis is dancing with Tiffany, and then asks her for a toenail sample with the air of someone proposing. Tiffany answers yes in similar tone of voice, then leans in to kiss him. Cut back to Cleo, who looks disturbed at what her mind cooked up.
- Season 2 sees Cleo and her sister Kim finally getting along a bit better... but it's not because Kim grows out of her brattiness, but because Cleo grows into a hefty dose of teenager attitude.
- "Hocus Pocus":
- Cleo's wish granting power kicks in at the worst possible time for her bratty sister. Kim rants about Cleo hogging the bathroom and says "I wish I could have a shower when I want one". Cue the garden sprinkler turning on and drenching her.
- Charlotte is really persistent about getting a juice order even when the cafe is closed (due to the gang trying to stop the fungus growing). Emma may be Miss Goodie Two Shoes with other customers, but her politeness doesn't extend to Charlotte.
Charlotte: Hey, where's that cranberry booster?
Emma: That'll be a thirty minute wait. - In "Pressure Cooker", Cleo swims to her and Lewis' old fishing spot, hoping she can confide in him about her being upset with her father apparently having a date. When she finds him with Charlotte there, her jealousy and disappointment get the better of her and she starts pulling away on Lewis' fishing bait. Charlotte, kept ignorant, remarks that a fish has bitten and is confused as to why Lewis (wisely) chooses not to go into a tug of war with a cross mermaid, and when Cleo just rips his fishing rod into the water, he wryly comments that the "fish" was apparently The One That Got Away.
- In "Moonstruck", the full moon causes the girls to act very ditzy.Cleo: [affected by the full moon] I touched the moon...
- And later:
Cleo: The moon is silver. I like silver. [giggles, clasps her hands over her mouth]
...
Cleo: I want my tail. - In "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", after her goldfish ends up in a floating ball of magic water, Cleo walks up and, in a forlorn voice, says, "Hector?"
