Stormy Seas
This whole episode was a one shot set up of different scenes and characters.
The 3 C's are a parody of the the R's in recycling, so it's basically recycling a method of teaching!
The scene with Diablo and Rose is inspired from the same scene in the movie Descendants.
The scene with Erik and Raiden is a reference to the same scene from Descendants.
The reason Thalie took Sirena's place in challenging Ondina is because Izi wanted to give Thalie more screen time.
Ondina is played by actress Isabel Durant and Thalie is modeled after Isabel Wilson. The fight between the Ondina and Thalie is kind of like "The Battle of the Isabels."
The Xalen scenes had no script. They were improvised to meet the episode time limit.
The scene where Helen and Xandou share their middle names is the same as a similar scene between Mal and Ben in the movie Descendants.
Xandou's middle name Keith is a reference to the person Xandou is modeled after, Keith Register. Keith does not have green eyes nor an accent but he does play Xandou's sport, basketball.
Izi wanted Raiden to take after his mother in looks but his father in personality.
Izi wanted Erik to take after his father in looks but his mother in personality. The reason she did this was to divide the brothers by trait, but unite them by friendship.
Thalie by the end of the episode becomes the mermaid's second teacher. She and Kimi will take this job in the new clan in Restoration.
