* UnintentionallySympathetic: While what Charlotte did in last few episodes of Season 2 two was mean and ruthless, consider the entire Season from her perspective. She seemingly makes friends with Cleo and Lewis, the latter of whom she quickly gets a crush on.[[note]]
When they all first met, Cleo ''never mentioned'' she has dated Lewis and ''she'' clearly dumped him.[[/note]] Unfortunately, when she gets close to him Cleo unexpectedly goes all ClingyJealousGirl on him and gets her friends in on the drama. Nevertheless, Charlotte still continues to be nice to them despite all their suspicions and rudeness. Not to mention all the times Lewis has abandoned her for said ex and friends.
** Not only that, they've been keeping her own family history from her. Then, when she finally founds out and tries to bond with the group once becoming a mermaid they still continue to villainize her.
** There's also the fact that they made fun of and scolded her for a ''phobia'' she had.[[note]] Sure, she shouldn't have tried to injure Ronnie the dolphin like that, but she was still most likely acting out of fear and a poorly done self-defense.[[/note]]
** After all of that rude behaviour, secrecy, and antagonizing that she had to endure just so she could fit in, is it really surprising that surprising when she snapped in the end and pulled a FaceHeelTurn in retaliation for all that?

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The humor in "Under the Weather" comes from the girls pretending they have a mysterious tropical illness, and the specialist quarantining them for safety. She also gets a moment where she chews out Cleo's family and Emma's father for coming into the house and therefore requiring them to isolate too. This is very reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, and numerous countries having to go into lockdown.

** While her actions in the last half of Season 2 were pretty much villainous, Charlotte being a mermaid roughly lasted only 5-6 episodes.
