Patrick didn't mind being a merman, as long as he had his mommy. Angela, while sad that Patrick had been infected, was also happy to have her baby boy back. The two were a heart warming sight. The sixteen year old girl named Mary, connected with the little boy and Patrick was starting to think of Mary as a big sister figure.

Even more so when they arrived. They dove under the water and vanished.
