The guards bring Tsunami and her friends to their cell. They allow them to stay together so long as they go peacefully. The cells are tiny islands with a waterfall blocking them in. Tsunami looks for Riptide and Webs but cannot find them through the waterfalls. She doesn't understand the cells but Starflight figures it out once he sees the electric eels that shock everyone who tries to enter the water. They work on planning their escape using Glory's venom as a secret weapon. Much to her friends shock, Tsunami doesn't want them to fight their way out - especially since some of the guards are on their side. Sunny thinks she hears something from up above but everyone dismisses her. Anemone arrives, allowed out of her harness for a bit so Auklet can be fitted for one. The dragonets ask for her help in escaping and offer to take her with them but Anemone knows if she leaves Coral and Blister will never stop hunting for her. But she can find out who tried to kill Tsunami so she spells a spear to bring the assassin to her. The spear leaves and eventually brings back Whirlpool.
Things don't go as planned. At first Whirlpool denies attacking Tsunami but then admits to it when he realizes he has been caught. He admits he did it because he didn't want to be forced to marry Tsunami - he figured Anemone would be easier to control. To make things worse he isn't upset that he has been figured out. He feels he can justify his actions to Coral and since Anemone has proven she is a powerful animus he can take the credit for her training. He plans to marry Auklet instead and let Anemone be killed by Coral using her as a weapon. Tsunami is upset because she meant to protect her sisters and now things are worse for them. There is a scuffle over Anemone's spear and Whirlpool falls into the water. The electric eels kill him. Anemone is shocked since this isn't what she meant to have happen. Tsunami wants to go to her and Starflight debates that this might be her only chance to go through the waterfall since the eels just expended their energy - but he fears he might be wrong. Tsunami feels it is worth the risk but puts it to a vote. Her friends are torn and she takes the risk. She goes through the waterfall unharmed. She sends Anemone on her way and figures out how to turn off the waterfall. She gets her friends out and Clay tells her where he saw Webs and Riptide. They locate the dragons near the entrance but fear freeing them will alert the guards nearby. Sunny insists she isn't hearing things when suddenly they realize the SeaWings are under attack. Tsunami alerts the guards.
Tsunami convinces the guards to go fight and let them escape. They free Riptide and Webs but before they can go Riptide admits he is part of the Talons. Tsunami feels betrayed and unsure of her entire relationship with Riptide. Just then the MudWing Crocodile shows up. She admits that she only infiltrated the Talons to get information. Then she convinced Webs to return home so she could follow and stage an attack. She tells the dragonets that Scarlet is rumored to be dead. Glory asks if she knows how Scarlet died to which Crocodile responds she does not. Glory spits her venom all over the MudWing's face. Crocodile runs away and everyone escapes into the battle. As they leave Tsunami sees Coral with her young daughters. She realizes despite her mother's faults, Coral really does love her daughters. Riptide leaves them to join the battle. Tsunami points out that he will just get thrown in prison again but he feels he cannot abandon his home. Blister sees them leaving and tries to kill Webs. She fails but she does wound him badly with her poisoned tail.
Tsunami and her friends have escaped. They are hiding in the trees plotting their next move. They need to get help for Webs but they don't know who to turn to. They figure while SandWings should know how to cure the poison they do not know if they can trust any of them. Starflight suggests the Talons but Webs says he cannot return to them and the dragonets should not trust them. After all if Crocodile was a spy then who knows who else could be. Tsunami suggests they visit the RainWings next. Glory is shocked but Tsunami explains they might know about the poison since they are poisonous themselves and Glory should have a chance to meet her family too. Decided everyone settles down to sleep.
Blister meets with Morrowseer. She reports to him that Webs should be dead, that Coral and her daughters unfortunately survived, and that Coral is now refusing to use Anemone as a weapon. Blister is furious with how events turned out. Morrowseer tells her they have another plan, but warns her she might not like it. He presents a SeaWing named Nautilus, who has a plan to make fake dragonets of destiny. Blister agrees and they plot the death and replacement of some of the dragonets. Blister insists that Starflight be one of the ones replaced as he was an awful traitor. Morrowseer sadly agrees. He says they do not like killing off NightWings but they will for Starflight because he was such a disappointment.
I am glad to see that someone from the group of Shark, Moray, and Whirlpool was evil! And I'm also glad to see that Coral has changed her mind about Anemone's powers. She might be a crazy, lying, and devious queen but her love for her daughters won out in the end. I will even forgive her for throwing Tsunami in prison since I believe that decision was partly motivated by fear of losing her daughter again and not just controlling the dragonets of destiny.
