EXPANDED NARRATIVE

The episode begins with Gwen experiencing panic when she cannot locate her friends. This fear quickly subsides once the group reunites. As they search for a light source, Gwen saves Nautique from a falling rock. Kameko responds to this act of heroism by telling the group about Gwen's reputation according to her father's stories, describing Gwen as the bravest and strongest of all the Mermicornos. Gwen allows this newfound attention to affect her judgment and confidence.

During the first watch shift, Gwen reflects on her past actions. She suddenly becomes terrified, believing she has encountered a ghost. Overcome by fear, she abandons her friends and hides in a cave. While in hiding, Gwen remembers how she first met two cruel eels after arriving at the ocean. These eels preyed on her vulnerability and desperation to avoid being alone, essentially forcing her to join their group. Terrified of solitude, Gwen agreed to help the eels steal food and other items from innocent sea creatures. This partnership continued until they reached a ghost town.

The group faces a series of tests. During the first test, they are supposed to repeat the water sprites' motions, but Nautique misinterprets the instructions as directions for escape, causing the group to fail. This reveals that Nautique is responsible for the group's failure on this initial challenge.

For the second test, the group must choose between two paths: one dark and one bright. Nautique believes the bright path is correct, while Kameko believes the dark path is the right choice. The group splits, with Nautique and Squishella taking the bright path while Astra, Gwen, and Kameko take the dark path. Both groups discover that their chosen paths are incorrect.

The third test requires the group to dance their way across a dangerous field of hot springs. Nautique recognizes a pattern in the hot air currents. While dancing across the field, the group discovers Nautique's creative force, which allows him to harness fire powers. After successfully passing this test, they find themselves still unable to leave the ghost town through conventional means.

The group creates a hole in the ceiling and escapes through it, returning to where they started. By doing so, they technically escape the kelp forest and retrieve the night light. Gwen survives the ordeal and remains with the group. Nautique, despite his earlier misinterpretation of the first test, discovers his fire powers and contributes to the group's survival. Kameko and Squishella both make it through the tests alive. Astra also survives and completes the journey with the rest of the group.
