Ariel turned to see that Karen had shut the trap door, which Triton welded with his trident.
"There!" he said. "Let's see him get out of that."
"KAREN! LET ME OUT!" hollered Plankton as he banged on the trap door from the inside.
"Once you calm down," said Karen. "Then, and only then, will I let you out."
"I AM CALM, COMPUTER WIFE!" shouted Plankton. "LET! ME! OUUUUUUUUUUT!"
Triton used his trident to gently remove the queen jellyfish from her prison and on top of the trap door. She was starting to get weak after her energy was sucked into the Mutant Maker
"Oh, no." gasped Ariel.
She hurried to get her tube of Kevin's ointment from her bag, only to find out...
"It's empty!"
"What is?" asked Sebastian.
"The ointment." explained Ariel. "I must've used the last of it on Flounder so he won't get stung."
"Here, use this." said Karen as she held out a beaker filled with blue liquid. "It might be the same as the ointment."
"Oh, thank you." said Ariel, who swam over to the queen jellyfish, pouring the liquid on top of her and rubbed it all around.
Everyone watched in silence, waiting to see if it worked while the queen jellyfish panted, her natural color starting to fade.
"Don't leave us now, old girl. Please." begged Ariel.
But it was no use. The queen jellyfish let out one last pant, and then succumbed to her injuries as Ariel watched, breathing heavily.
"Ariel?" said Triton, placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder.
Ariel buried her face in her father's beard, sobbing, while everyone, including Squidward, the jellyfish, and Karen, bowed their heads in remorse.
Suddenly, the queen jellyfish started to glow.
"Ariel, look!" said Flounder.
Ariel turned to see the jellyfish, holding tentacles and using them to transfer their energy to their queen, removing every trace of injury she had.
As they did, the queen jellyfish began to rose off the floor, while everyone watched in awe.
For a moment, she hovered. Then...
WHOOSH!
She swam across the Chum Bucket, doing a loop-de-loop.
The queen was well again!
Everyone cheered as Ariel and Triton embraced each other.
The queen jellyfish swam down to Ariel and carressed her cheek as a symbol of thanks.
