Evie's paranoia aside, Lyla and Zac's relationship is not romantic. I don't know that this trope needs to be listed here though.

Added DiffLines:

* CatsAreMean: Averted. Poseidon is generally well-behaved and approachable. When briefly turned into a human resembling Evie, he continues to act all pleasant and curious (if appearing exceedingly unusual to unaware humans). At times, the cat even appears quite confused over why mermaids keep freaking out in his presence.


Added DiffLines:

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Evie spends much of Season 1 questioning what is going on with the main trio and what it has to do with her boyfriend.


Added DiffLines:

* SecretChaser: "Evie Times Two" ends with Evie so perturbed by the actions of the main trio that she resolves to find out more about them.

* AdultsAreUseless:
** Viridia and the Mermaid Council, while well meaning, are all so locked in their prejudice against Mermen and Humans, that they're attempts to solve some of the situations often make the problems much worse.
** Averted with Rita however, whose advise and council to Zac, Evie and the Mermaids, often points them in the right direction when searching for a solution.

* BathroomSearchExcuse: Evie wants to investigate the strange goings on by the residents of Rita's house, so she insists on tagging along with David's seafood delivery and then uses the bathroom excuse to wander the halls. She improves her odds by waiting for David and Sirena (who have a mutual crush) to be distracted by each other and asking Sirena, who is too lost in David's eyes to consider Evie's intents.

Added DiffLines:

* GreenEyedMonster:
** Cam towards Zac and the mermaids. He wants a tail so badly he was willing to betray them all, and steal the trident in his bid to gain one for himself.
** Erik has this reaction towards Zac in relation the Merman Cave. While Erik believes the Merman chamber belongs to all Merman, it becomes clearer and clearer to his growing resentment, that Zac is the only one who can activate it, as by right and bloodlines, it belongs to Zac and no one else, [[spoiler:causing Erik to finally snap, and steal Zac's magic, and activate it when Zac refuses to]].


Added DiffLines:

* RoyalBlood: Zac, [[spoiler:and to a lesser extent Mimmi]], learns that [[spoiler:through their mother, Nerissa]] are descended of the Mermaid and Mermen that ended the great merman-mermaid war and ruled over the sea in peace. Therefore, contrary to what Erik believes, the Merman chamber, that was built by the merman king, is his and his alone, and only responds to his magic.

** Evie using her moon ring to automate the domestic chores is similar to a scene from ''[[Series/AlienSurfGirls Lightning Point]]'' where Zoey uses her Luminan powers to do the same thing. In both cases, frustrated with how long it is taking, they decide to use an turboboost and naturally, it goes horribly wrong. (See also, of course, the Sorceror's Apprentice sequence in ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''.)
