She defies a lot of the normal tropes by holding it outside and during daytime, calling the others ignorant when they ask if it shouldn't be done around a table at night. The seance does manage to call some spirits which light a candle with blue flame and move some rocks, but they are unhelpful in determining Gemma's location.

She further states she doesn't care about the thousands upon thousands of mortals who have suffered and died at the hands of the sirens over the many years.

In seawater, they're half-human, half-fish. When they need to fly or (more importantly) feed on the mortal men they lure with their songs, they're bird-women. They have beautiful voices and appearances only in their first two forms; the third form is a case of One-Winged Angel.

She then considers eating his heart, but decides that would take too much time when she has more important things to be doing. It occurs again in Tidal, when Penn kills Lexi in the same manner. Since sirens don't die until they both have their heart torn out and are decapitated, Penn lets Lexi take a good, long look at her heart before finishing her.

Other than by using one of these methods, the sirens absolutely cannot be killed.
