[Flounder]
"Detective Flounder."

[♪ curious music playing]

Hmm. Not here.

Hmm.

Not here either?

Hmm. Oh! Maybe there?

Oh! [grunts]

-[plushy squeaking]
-[giggles]

Whatcha up to, Ariel?

Oh. [chuckles] Hi, Flounder.

I've just been
looking for Naeema,

but I can't seem
to find her anywhere.

I can help you
look for her.

-Really?
-Of course.

She's your favorite doll.

And you know what they say,

"you can always use
an extra pair of fins."

Oh, thank you, Flounder!

All right. I have
one last place to look.

[Flounder] Whoo-hoo!
[giggles]

[objects rustling]

Huh?

-Mmm-mmm.
-I've looked all over this room,

and I still
can't find Naeema.

If she isn't in here,

maybe she's
in the Crystal Cavern?

No. Last time
I played with Naeema, I was in the palace.

She's gotta be
around here somewhere.

[gasps] Ariel, do you know
what this means?

Uh... mmm-mmm.

This is officially...

-[♪ dramatic music plays]
-...a mystery!

[giggles]

A mystery, huh?

Definitely a mystery.

When you don't know
what happened to something,

you need to search
for clues.

Little hints that can
lead to the answers you were looking for.

So we need to look
for clues that'll help us find Naeema?

You can count
on me, Ariel.

I'll be
Detective Flounder today.

A detective is what
you call someone who solves mysteries.

[both giggle]

But wait, we can't just
leave the room messy like this.

-[squeaks]
-We'll clean all of this up

just as soon
as we solve this mystery.

We'll call it,

"the case
of the missing doll that Ariel loves,

-but we're gonna find her..."
-Huh? Whoa!

"...so everything's
gonna be okay."

[giggles]

So where should we
start, Flounder?

Well, a good detective
needs to ask

other merfolk
and fishfolk for clues.

Ariel,

-Detective Flounder here.
-[♪ pensive music playing]

Hmm. I need to ask you
a few questions.

[giggles] Sure.

Do you know
where Naeema is?

[giggles] Flounder,
I'm the one looking for Naeema, remember?

Right. I should find
someone else to ask.

-Hmm. Huh?
-[giggling]

[gasps] We should ask
Alanna and Ayanna if they've seen Naeema.

Ooh, great idea, Flounder.

Hi, Ariel. Hi, Flounder.

-[giggles]
-Huh?

Uh, Flounder?

It's Detective Flounder
today.

And I've got
a question for you.

Okay, Detective Flounder.
What's your question?

Alanna, where were you today?

I haven't left my room
all day.

I've been trying
different clips on my hair.

Ooh, they're really pretty.

[giggles] Thanks, sis.

-[scribbling]
-"Pretty hair clip."

Okay, I have
another question.

Have you seen
this doll anywhere?

This doll looks
a lot like you, Flounder.

Huh? Whoops! Wrong drawing.
[chuckles]

A-ha! Okay. Got it.

Oh. You're looking
for Naeema?

Yeah. I can't
find her anywhere.

Sorry, sis.
I haven't seen her here.

But you can look around
if you want.

Already on it.

-[grunts]
-[Alanna giggles]

Not here. Not here.

Not here.

Hmm.

Not Naeema.
Not Naeema. [gasps]

[excitedly] Maybe Naeema?

[gasps]

[♪ dejected music plays]

[sighs] Still not Naeema.

Looks like
she isn't here either.

Hmm.

-[Ariel] Thanks for letting us look, sis.
-Of course.

Good luck
finding Naeema.

-[♪ curious music playing]
-Hmm. Hmm.

[gasps]

-Ariel, wait!
-Huh?

Look at this.

Doesn't this look like
a strand of Naeema's hair?

[gasps] You're right,
Flounder.

This is a clue!

If we follow
these strands of hair,

it could lead us to Naeema.

Follow me.

Huh? The strands
of hair stop here.

[chomping]

-Ooh.
-[gasps]

And there she is!

Hey, sis. Hiya, Flounder.
What are you two up to?

Ayanna, have you seen Naeema?

Hmm. I haven't seen
any dolls in the kitchen,

but I did find this.

[gasps] That's Naeema's
necklace!

Another clue!

Now we know Naeema was
definitely in the kitchen.

But how did she get here?

-[♪ dramatic music plays]
-And where is she now?

I can't answer
any of those questions,

but if it helps,
I found the necklace over there.

Ooh!

[sniffs]

Hmm, clamomile tea.

-[dings]
-[gasps] Bubbling Beardfish! That's it!

[excitedly] You know
where Naeema is?

No. But I think I know
how she got into the kitchen.

-[♪ curious music playing]
-Naeema was really thirsty,

so she swam through the palace
looking for the kitchen.

But she got lost,

and she ended up
in Alanna and Ayanna's room.

Since there was
no tea there,

she kept swimming
and found the kitchen

where she finally
made herself

-a cup of clamomile tea!
-[♪ dramatic music plays]

[mumbling indistinctly]

[both giggling]

I'm not sure Naeema
swam to the kitchen for clamomile tea.

-[giggles]
-You're right.

Naeema doesn't like
clamomile tea.

She likes Pearl Grey!

-[scribbling]
-Also, she's a doll.

Hmm.

Naeema might not
like clamomile tea,

but we know someone
who does.

[both] Sebastian!

He might know
where Naeema is.

Let's go find him.

[Ariel] Thanks, sis.

Hope you find Naeema.

I can't wait
to see Naeema again.

And I can't wait
to solve this mystery.

-[♪ exciting music playing]
-[knocking at door]

[♪ exciting music fades]

Looks like Sebastian
isn't here.

But without him,
we won't be able to find Naeema.

I thought he'd for sure
have our next clue.

-[♪ pleasant music playing]
-Hmm. [gasps]

The only thing here
is that super-soapy box of laundry soap.

Come on,
Detective Flounder.

Let's go back to our room and think about
where to look for Naeema next.

There must've been
a clue I missed.

Maybe Naeema's looking
for land treasures at a shipwreck.

Or maybe
she's getting juice at Ravi's juice stand.

Oh! Or maybe she's having lunch
with Mr. King Triton Sir.

Oh. I just can't
figure out this mystery.

-[sighs]
-[sighs] Oh, I'm sorry, Ariel.

I promised you
I'd find Naeema,

but I wasn't able to.

Maybe I'm not
such a great detective after all.

-[plushy squeaks]
-[sighs]

Aw, you're a great
detective, Flounder.

And it was sweet of you
to help me look for Naeema.

[sighs]

Here. Why don't we
take a break?

We can try
and find Naeema later,

after we pick things up
and make this room nice and clean.

-[♪ exciting music playing]
-Huh. [gasps] Wait a minute.

Did you just say "clean"?

-[plushy squeaks]
-Yeah, we should get this room clean.

We did leave it
looking pretty messy.

[giggles]

Ariel, we found Naeema's hair

by a laundry basket.

Uh-huh.

And then when we tried
to find Sebastian,

we saw that box
of soapy laundry soap next to his door.

Uh-huh.

I think I know
where Sebastian and Naeema are.

Come on, Ariel!

[♪ intriguing music playing]

The laundry room?

Yes! And look.

[Sebastian humming
upbeat tune]

Flounder,
you found Sebastian!

Now we just need
to find Naeema.

[humming continues]

-Hi, Sebastian.
-[gasps]

Ariel. Flounder.

Are you here to help me
fold the laundry?

-[Flounder] Sebastian...
-Huh?

...I need to take a look
at these blankets.

[pleading] Please.

All right.

-Hmm. [clicks tongue] Not there.
-Huh?

[Flounder] Hmm. Ooh.

-Okay, just one more under--
-Hmm?

Naeema!

[♪ cheerful music playing]

A-ha!

Huh? How did that doll
get in there?

Detective Flounder,
how did you know?

-Mm-hmm-mm.
-Detective?

What in the deep blue sea
is going on?

Well, I looked
at all the clues,

and it helped me realize
something very important.

-[scribbling]
-Today is laundry day!

Hmm.

Sebastian, you must've
picked up Naeema

when you were getting
all the laundry around the palace.

Aw, I missed you, Naeema.

And you're so
squeaky-clean.

Thanks to Sebastian.

[giggles and kisses]

[laughs timidly] I do take
laundry day very seriously.

Oh, Flounder, thank you,
thank you, thank you

for finding my favorite doll.

You are the ocean's
greatest detective.

Aw.

Well, it looks like
we figured out,

"the case
of the missing doll that Ariel loves,

but we're gonna find her,
so everything's gonna be okay!"

[gasps] Everything is okay!

[both giggling]

Hey, everyone,
has anybody seen my beard comb?

I can't seem
to find it anywhere.

Don't worry,
Mr. King Triton Sir.

I can help with that.

-Detective Flounder is on it!
-Whoa!

-Huh?
-We'll call it...

-[♪ dramatic music plays]
-..."the case of the missing

kingly beard comb

that Mr. King Triton Sir
loves,

and I'm definitely
gonna find it,

so don't worry,
Mr. King Triton Sir." Huh?

[mumbles indistinctly]

[all laughing]

[Ariel] "Bath Time
for Ebb and Flo."

-[both snoring]
-[Ursula] Okay, Ursula, you've got this.

You're a powerful mer-gician.

You can do this.

[grunting]

What is Ms. Ursula Ma'am
doing?

She looks worried.

I bet Senorita Ursula
is about to do

an abra-clam-azing
new magic spell.

[laughs] I wish
I was getting ready to do some fun magic,

but that's not what's
happening right now.

[both snoring]

Today is...
[whispers] ...bath day...

[in normal voice]
...for Ebb and Flo.

[whispers] Bath day?

That's right.

[whispers] Bath day.

[in normal voice]
And let me tell you,

my babies do not like
to take their...

-[whispers] ...bath.
-[gasps]

[in normal voice] Whenever they even hear
the word... [whispers] ..."bath"...

[in normal voice] ...they always treat it
like a game and swim away.

That's silly.
Who doesn't love a good bath?

-[gasps]
-[both snoring]

Whew!

I'm glad you enjoy your...
[whispers] ...baths.

[in normal voice]
But it can be very tricky

-to do with Ebb and Flo.
-[gasps]

Okay.

Let's do this.

-[magic book dings]
-[Lucia] Hmm?

[incantation warbling]

Ooh, you've got
magic mail.

Magic mail
is my favorite kind of mail.

-[♪ curious music playing]
-Hmm. It looks like Ravi's brother Revi

is having some problems
with the magical potion I gave him.

It was supposed to help him
untangle his tentacles, but...

[♪ whimsical music playing]

That's not good.

Don't worry. Senorita Ursula is the best
at fixing potion problems.

You've got that right.

But I guess...
[whispers] ...bath time...

[in normal voice]
...for Ebb and Flo will have to wait.

[in normal voice]
Tantie Ursula, since you're so busy,

-we could give Ebb and Flo their...

-[whispers] ...bath.
-[gasps]

-Yeah.
-Are you sure, merlings?

They can be a fin-full.

-Si.
-Sure thing.

-Can't wait!
-You're all so sweet.

I don't know
how easy it will be,

but thank you
for helping me out.

-I won't be too long. Good luck!
-[giggles]

-Bye.
-[in normal voice] Bye, Tantie.

Okay, best fins.
We can do this!

How hard could it be?

Ebb, Flo...

-[both chitter]
-...we've got a surprise for you.

-[Ebb, Flo chittering]
-[all laughing]

Whoa!

Hi, Ebb. Hi, Flo.

I'm glad you two are
in such a good mood,

-because it's time for...
-No!

-...your bath!
-[all] Ah!

-[♪ intense music playing]
-[Ariel] Oh, no.

What's happening?

They heard you say "bath".

[both gasp]

Ah! Now Ariel said "bath".

Ah! Now I said it.

-[Ebb and Flo chitter]
-[all] Whoa!

Everybody stop saying "bath"!

Argh! Now I said it!

[all scream]

After those eels!

-[♪ intense music continues]
-[Ebb and Flo chittering]

[Flounder panting]

-They're... so... fast.
-[sighs]

[both chittering]

-Look, they're splitting up.
-[all] Huh?

We need to split up, too.

Fernie, Lucia,
you two go after Ebb.

-[in Spanish] Entendido.
-[in Haitian] Oke.

[in English] Flounder and
I will go after Flo.

I'm with you.

Once we find them,
we'll meet up here

and take them back
to the apothecary to give them their--

-Ah!
-Don't say it.

-...their you-know-whats.
-[all] Whew.

Go team!

[all laugh]

[Flo chittering]

Look over there.
It's Flo!

-[♪ playful music playing]
-[chitters]

Now she's over there.

[chitters]

-Huh?
-[Flo chitters]

-Whoa!
-[Flounder screams]

Where is she now?

-I thought she was right there.
-[chitters]

-Whoo-hoo! Yeah! [giggles]
-[laughing]

-[both] Huh?
-[chittering]

Quick! To the kitchen!

[♪ playful music continues]

-Did you see Ebb? Where did he go?
-[♪ playful music ends]

He's gotta be
around here somewhere.

[chitters]

There's so many
hiding spots out here.

Hmm. Where could he be?

-[chitters]
-Huh?

Hmm. I've never noticed
this statue before.

Hmm.

Wait a minute.

[chitters]

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-Whoa!

[both laughing]

-[♪ upbeat music playing]
-[chittering]

I know I saw Flo
come in here,

but I can't
find her anywhere.

Mmm. Looking
through the kitchen is making me hungry.

[slurps]

[gasps] Jumping jellyfish!
I've got an idea!

A snack idea?

Yes.

Wait, really?

Flounder, if you can whip up
one of your tasty treats,

we can get Flo
to come to us.

That's a delicious idea!

I know just the thing.

One kibble cake
coming right up.

[slurps]

Mmm-hmm.

-Mmm-hmm.
-[gasps, giggles]

Mmm-hmm.

I humbly place before you
my deep-sea fusion kibble cake.

Made with organic,
farm-fresh kelp leaves,

sprinkled with powdered
sea berries,

and a gluten-free
extract of watercress.

Oh, wait,
I almost forgot.

And topped
with a seaweed garnish.

All to tickle
an eel's taste palate.

[pants and slurps]

That looks delicious,
Flounder.

I do think I've really
outdone myself this time.

Huh?

Huh?

[both] Uh...

-Where's the cake?
-Whoa!

-Flo got the cake!
-[gibbering]

[gulps and slurps]

-I knew I made it too delicious!
-Let's paddle!

-[♪ jovial music playing]
-[Ebb chittering]

[Flo chittering]

[Fernie and Lucia panting]

-This isn't working.
-[panting]

Ebb and Flo
are so hard to catch.

I think we need a new plan.

Maybe we shouldn't
catch them.

What do you mean?

Instead of trying
to bring them back to the apothecary,

can't we just give them
a bath out here?

That's a great idea, Fernie.

If we can't bring the eels
to the bath,

then we'll bring the bath
to the eels.

[Fernie, Lucia,
Flounder] Yeah!

Everyone ready?

-I'm ready to clean.
-We'll get them this time.

-And I've got the bath toys!
-[squeaks]

-[♪ intriguing music playing]
-[chittering]

There they are!

[quietly] If we're quiet,
we should be able

to sneak up on them
with our sponges.

[quietly] Super quiet.
Got it.

[chuckles]

Hey, Ebb. Hey, Flo.

Hello, kids.

[all] Hi, Ravi.

Aw, look at you.

That's so nice of you
to give Ursula's eels their bath.

-[all gasp]
-He said "bath".

-[♪ intense music playing]
-Huh?

-It wasn't me this time.
-Or me.

-Or me.
-Or me.

[objects clattering]

[laughs] Oh, my!

-[both chitter]
-[Fernie] Oh, no!

They're all covered
with juice.

Now they need a bath
more than ever.

[both chittering]

We were so close.

We can't give up yet.
Let's keep going.

Oh. Good luck, kids!

What?

-Oh! Mm-hmm.
-[squeaking]

[chuckling]

[♪ upbeat music playing]

I can't believe
we chased them all the way to Soca Sands.

How does Senorita Ursula
do this by herself?

-[Ebb and Flo chitter nearby]
-[all] Huh? Huh?

[both chitter]

Over there!

Come on, eel friends.
It's time to get clean!

-[both chitter]
-[thuds and grunts]

[Flounder] I'm okay.

That was
a great try, Flounder.

Thanks. Did I get 'em?

[giggles] Not quite.

You did get
a little sandy, though.

[laughs] I got a lot sandy.

Looks like
now I'm the one that needs a bath.

Well, we have the sponges.

Would you like
a bath, Flounder?

Yes, please.
I love baths.
