At night the hunters raid Siren's home and capture two mermaids guarding her, and also Tiffany. Adam also came, but he helped siren to escape. Siren goes to the safehouse to prepare for her change. The other mermaids go to the hunters and exchange Principal Strauss for Tiffany, explaining that Tiffany would be the only one who could convince Siren to give her blood willingly.
