Shimmer and Shine season 3 episode 4 titled "Mermaid Mayhem/Snow Place We'd Rather Be" follows the magical adventures of two twin genies-in-training, Shimmer and Shine. In the first half of the episode, "Mermaid Mayhem," the genies visit their friend Nila, who happens to be a mermaid, in her underwater kingdom.

Excited to explore this new world, Shimmer and Shine summon their new pirate friend, Captain Zora, to take them on a tour of the kingdom. However, their fun-filled adventure takes a sudden turn when Zeta, the villainous sorceress, arrives with her new sidekick, Nazboo, and starts causing chaos.

Zeta steals Nila's special sea shell, which is the source of her powers, causing the mermaid kingdom to fall into disarray. Without the shell, Nila can no longer keep the kingdom's magic in balance, and the sea creatures start behaving erratically.

The second half of the episode, "Snow Place We'd Rather Be," takes place in the magical land of Zahramay Falls, where the genies are surprised to see snow. They soon learn it is caused by their friend Princess Samira's snowflake necklace, which has the power to conjure up a winter wonderland.

However, things go awry when Zeta, who is on a snowy adventure of her own, accidentally takes Princess Samira's necklace. She uses it to create a massive snowball, which traps Princess Samira and her pet dragon, Roya, inside. Shimmer and Shine must team up with their friend, Leah, to find the necklace and save their friends.

As they search for the necklace, the group has to navigate snowy obstacles like slippery ice and freezing cold temperatures. But they persevere, and eventually locate the necklace inside a snow tunnel. They use their magical powers to stop Zeta and her mischievous monkey, Zac, from causing any more chaos.
