Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN MAKO MERMAIDS! Oh and if you have not read Birthmark or Legacy, check it out. Because you'll get unnecessary spoilers if you don't.

Prologue

The prologue opening and middle scenes are homage to How to Train your Dragon

Smeade was supposed to appear as a series regular

The scene where Erik rescues him and the final scene of this chapter are homage to Big Hero 6

The reason why Erik, Ondina, Esmeralda, Phoebus, and Raiden are all from Europe is because the author wanted to express cultural diversity.

The mention of Diablo getting a job and then losing it was never explained. He got a job working at an ice cream store but then got caught giving his friends free ice creams every time they came over. Apparently the store owner didn't like friendship.

Fratellino is Italian for "Little Brother."

The scene of where Raiden saves Thalassa's life is the first meeting of Railessa.

Thalie's appearance is resemblant to Ariel from the Little Mermaid

The reason Erik is Italian is because the author found him to be too tan to be Aussie

Erik and Raiden don't have Italian accents because of their time in New Zealand. The same with Ondina.

The Mermification Situation

The line, Pain. So much pain is used twice in this episode

Almost all of this episode is homage to the 2005 movie Fantastic Four. It can be found on Netflix.

The woman who rescues Thalassa is not Alice but Persephone. This was originally going to be her name but it was dropped to make it more mythological.

Although it is never mentioned, Thalassa's birthday is April 15, which was the date that Birthmark was released.

Veridia's title as Judge is a reference to Judge Claude Frollo from Disney's adaptation, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The reason why it is the 13th cycle instead of the 7th is because Izi wanted to extend the time frame and show how much the characters have grown.

The Sea of Monsters is also called the Bermuda Triangle, from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Sea of Monsters.

The reason why Thalie's friends are all multiracial was inspired by Chai Romruen's unique heritage.

The scene in Rose's room and Kimi's speech is a rip off of the 2005 movie Fantastic Four (which by the way is much better than the 2015 one)

Kimi's theory on mermaids and solar radiation, is actually the author's theory.

Thalie's pull towards Mako and the moon's accelerating speed is homage to the scene where Reed sees the screen and the cosmic storm is approaching 7 hours earlier.

The scene where Evie tries to stop Zac from going is a foreshadow to chapter 13 and a reference to Big Hero 6's scene where Tadashi is stopped by Hiro from going to rescue Callaghan.

The shot in which all the teen girls get affected by the super moon is a rip off of the cosmic storm accident from Fantastic Four.

The scene with Dr. Blakely and Helen is a spoof of the scene with the nurse and Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch from Fantastic Four. Another reference can be spotted with the thermometer reading 212 degrees.

Sydney Albert is one of Izi's classmates.

The scene where Helen first exhibits her powers is a spoof of the skiing scene from Fantastic Four.

The scene where Kimi and Rose discover their powers is homage to the hospital dinner scene with Reed and Sue from Fantastic Four.

The scene on the way to the Santos household is just like the scene where Reed and Sue discuss what happened to them while Johnny shows off his powers.

The reason why Omegas have different eyes and hair colors is because of their physical manifestation of their elements.

Rose's line, "I had Diarrhea for 7 months" is a reference to the same line from the movie Pitch Perfect 2, this line was also said by a Latina character.
