Episode 19: A Girl With A Porpoise

A Girl With A Porpoise is episode 19 of Mew Mew Power, which was aired by the dubbing company, 4kids.

Synopsis
The Mew Mews take a break at the beach. Despite having the DNA of the Finless Porpoise, Bridget can't swim and the others help her as Sardon and Tarb unleash their latest plot.

Full Recap
Elliot and Wesley take the girls on a well-deserved island vacation. Everyone seems to enjoy the sun, sand and surf. Except for Bridget. See, despite being enfused with the DNA of a finless porpoise, she's never learned to swim. This changes when the girls meet a little girl named Cassandra who has a fear of the water because she almost drowned a few years ago. Bridget and Cassandra try to teach each other to be brave and to try swimming again. Meanwhile, the Cyniclons Sardon and Tarb are on the ocean floor, culturing new Predasites.

As Bridget broods about her failures (and about her almost drowning), Elliot tells her that she'll find the bravery within her. Sure enough, when the Predasites attack and kick up a storm, Mew Bridget dives in after Cassandra, who is trying to rescue a young boy. She sees a strange light...and, suddenly, her legs turn into a fin. She is able to breathe underwater like a mermaid...and anyone she holds can do the same. As Mew Bridget leaps out of the water, the light weakens the Predasites, allowing the other girls to "Mewtilate" them.

On the last days of the vacation, Bridget is swimming quite well alongside Cassandra... and Elliot and Wesley are left to wonder if their Mew Mews have stronger powers than before... and how that could be possible.
