No Ordinary Family (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 10 - No Ordinary Sidekick - full transcript

Every story has a beginning.

JIM: We were just an
ordinary family, until...

Hold on! Oh, my God!

Something extraordinary
has happened.

GEORGE: You can jump
just over a quarter mile,

can lift 11,000 pounds...

STEPHANIE: I'm fast.

DAPHNE: I can hear
people's thoughts.

JJ: I've got, like,
this super-brain.

Don't you see? I can
finally make a difference.

Who's that? Who are you?



I want you to keep
an eye on Dr. Powell

and those closest to her.

Will? That's me.

All right, all right, Jim.

Ouch. Oh!

Sorry.

Again.

Will you take it easy?

You might as well be
wearing a T-shirt that says,

"Me and my family
went to South America

"and all we got were
these lousy superpowers."

All right, JJ, you're
up next. All right.

All right, kid. Go, JJ.

You've gotta get
another strike. JJ!



STEPHANIE: Focus.

(ALL CHEERING)
Yeah, that's my boy!

I call cheating.

Oh, it's not
cheating, sweetheart.

It's maximizing our potential.

Go, Dr. Powell. JJ:
Here we go, Mom.

It's okay.

You can still go for the spare.

Oh! My mistake, you
got a strike. Kudos.

Wait, wait, wait, no,
you did that, didn't you?

Hmm.

Look, look, I don't
wanna be that guy.

But technically, according
to USBC, Rule 5A,

that is a lane violation.

What? You have proof?

This is the last time I
play with y'all, I'm serious.

Hey, so sorry I'm late.

Will. It's good to see you.

I'm so glad you could make it.

You remember my
boss, Stephanie. Hi.

And this is her husband...

Jim Powell. Pleasure.

Katie mentioned
that you're an artist.

I just moved into
a new apartment.

I've got a lot of blank walls.
(STATIC CRACKLING)

Maybe I could come over
and take a look at your work.

Well, that's very
kind, thank you. Sure...

You must be Daphne.

Yeah.

JJ, right?

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Thanks for not telling my
parents about, you know,

you busting our poker
game the other night.

(LAUGHING) Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with me.

Hey, George, you're up.

DISPATCHER ON POLICE
RADIO: Code 12, silent alarm.

Hey, Jim, will you come over
here? Robbery in progress.

You brought a police
scanner in your bowling bag?

While you were busy
knocking over pins,

I've been busy knocking
over dry cleaners.

Silent alarm just went off.

Robbery in progress.
Two blocks away.

Please. Take whatever you want.

What part of "Keep your
hands where I can see them"

did you not understand?

Did you hit the alarm?

No, I swear.

Congratulations, lady, your last
words on Earth are gonna be a lie.

Hey!

The cops are on their
way. Get out of here!

I don't think these guys are
going anywhere anytime soon.

Just get out of here.

Thanks, George.

What are sidekicks for?

Hey! Wait! Hey!
Your fingerprint...

How many times I
gotta remind the man...

Freeze!

Okay, okay.

I know what this looks like.

So do I.

Looks like you're a hero.

That's exactly
what this looks like.

You know, you don't really get
to think in a situation like that.

Your instinct takes over. You
see something wrong going down...

Well, at least someone's
getting the credit.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy?

No.

Well, it'd be nice to get a
thank you now and then, sure.

Yeah, or a basket of
muffins, or key to the city.

Hey, it's like with
Detective Cordero.

I mean, I pulled him
out of a burning van,

and he still treats me like
I'm that guy on the boardwalk

who draws cartoons of
tourists holding surfboards.

Well, if it's a little positive
attention you want,

then why don't
you turn off the TV?

Good idea.

It just doesn't make sense.

You bowled three
perfect games in a row

and you haven't
rubbed it in my face

or taped the score
sheet to my door.

Who are you and what have
you done with my brother?

I thought having
these powers was cool

'cause I was
finally good at stuff.

But the problem is

I'm really good at stuff.

Wow. Sounds awful.

It's not even fun playing
games with my friends anymore.

Don't even get me started about

trying to find
things to talk about.

It's like I have to
pretend to be the old JJ

just to have something
in common with them.

Sounds like the problem
isn't you, it's your friends.

What do you mean?

You need a sidekick.

Somebody who can keep
up with your super-brain.

Great.

Why don't I just run down to
Geniuses 'R' Us and pick one up?

Why don't you ask Katie
where she hangs out?

When she's not dating
Mr. Tall, Dark and Creepy.

You tried to read his
mind again, didn't you?

"Tried" being the
operative word.

I don't get it. I can't get in.

Maybe your powers are on the
fritz, like what happened to Dad.

Or maybe something's
up with him.

You can't expect her to
open up to me overnight.

I can expect whatever
the hell I want.

It's a question of what
you're able to deliver.

Look. Dr. Powell trusts Katie.

And as soon as Katie trusts me,

I'll be able to find
out everything

you wanna know
about their research.

Just know this.

I didn't get to where
I am by being patient.

I'll have to call you back.

Dr. Chiles. If memory serves,

when you were relieved of
your duties here at Global Tech,

you were also relieved
of your access card.

Which could make your being here

a bit of a problem,
legally speaking.

I found the solution
you've been working on.

Trace Trilsetum coronis with
a phenylethylamine cocktail.

Funny, it doesn't
seem to correlate

with any of the experimentation

that's been approved
by the board.

Francis, you're delusional.

While I appreciate
your diagnosis,

I think I'll seek out
a second opinion.

Say from the DEA or the FDA.

Or any number of government
agencies that might be interested

in finding out what
you've been up to here.

You mean what we've been up to.

After all, it's you that was working
on a team studying that plant.

And it's you who co-signed

on millions of dollars
worth of testing requests.

You son of a bitch.

So I would suggest
that we get past

the threats and the
calling of names,

and move on to the part
where you walk away,

never to be heard from again.

Excuse me.

Hey, Detective. I heard about
your accident, how are you feeling?

Well, lucky.

I don't know where
I'd be if that guy

hadn't pulled me out of the van.

Sounds like a real hero.

Yeah, he saved my life.

I don't even know who
he is. But you know what?

I'm gonna do everything
I can to find out.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Thank you. Please.

Hey, man, I'm sorry it took
so long for me to get here,

but my phone has been blowing
up with interview requests.

Well, you might wanna ease
up on the press tour, George.

Why?

I know the cops think
this is open and shut,

but there might be more to this
case than we first thought. Look.

Been poking around...

Turns out these guys that
knocked over the cleaners

were all career criminals
with a history of bank robberies.

Well, then I did a good thing
'cause their careers are over. Kaput.

You mean we did a good thing.

Right.

Of course, we.

Look, Jim, I know
this seems weird,

me getting credit for your save,

but I'm only going along
with this to protect you.

Okay?

Okay.

'Cause the minute that your
secret identity loses its secret,

you are in for a
whole mess of trouble.

This is what you
asked for, Detective.

I pulled this footage from a traffic
camera near your van accident.

It's pretty blurry.

But we can run it through
an image enhancer.

Which should get you close
enough to make a positive ID

on the man who saved you.

Run it.

For the last time,

the Larsen-B Ice Shelf shattered
and separated from the continent

due to increased warming of...

Excuse me, kid.

Are you sure you're
in the right place?

Is this 40.875 latitude at
longitude negative 124.158?

Smart People's Club?

I guess you're
in the right place.

When was the last time
the Antarctic Peninsula

increased by
degrees 0.5 Celsius?

I'm not sure what the
exact numbers are.

I'll tell you when. Never.

Queen to E-five.

I wouldn't do
that if I were you.

You mind?

Queen captures rook
C-five. Checkmate.

If you want to play so badly,
why don't you take next game?

I mean, if you think
you can beat me.

I'm Natalie. What's your name?

JJ.

Okay, JJ, do you start with
your knights and bishops,

or do you dwell on
a pawn opening?

I...

Cheese puff?

Katie.

I've never seen anyone so happy
developing taxonomies before.

Unless, of course, it's not the
taxonomies you're happy about.

I'm never sure where the line is

of too much information for you.

Is this about Will? Yes!

I have not felt this way about
a guy since Comic-Con '06

when I fell for the cutest
metrosexual Wookiee.

Okay. There's the line.

I just really like him.

He makes me feel
like the highest point

in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Oh.

Good morning, ladies.

Good morning.

Oh, my God, Dr. King.

What happened to your cheek?

Yes.

My face was met
with an ex-employee

holding a most
passionate grudge.

Are you talking
about Dr. Chiles?

That would be the one.

I mean, I knew he
was high-strung,

but I never suspected he
was capable of violence.

Since his termination,
Dr. Chiles has become

unglued.

So, please take
extra precautions.

If you see Dr. Chiles,
notify Security immediately.

All right.

Hello, there.

If you're picking up,
I'm gonna need a ticket.

No, ma'am. I'm here with the
Pacific Bay Police Department.

And I'm here to follow
up on your robbery.

I was so lucky.

We wouldn't even be
having this conversation

if this man hadn't saved me.

Mr. St. Cloud is a hero.

It's a very flattering
photo, don't you think?

(LAUGHS) Yes, adorable.

I've got some questions for you.

According to your statement,

the men came in
here with handguns

and left with only the
cash in the register.

No, that and some dry cleaning.

They stole someone's
dry cleaning?

Yeah, I just realized
it this morning.

His name is Paul Parillo.

But I told that to the
detectives already,

about how the
four men held me...

Four men?

Arrest report says
they booked three.

Well, I only know what happened.

But I do have one
question for you.

Do you happen to know
if Mr. St. Cloud is single?

GEORGE: I am single.

It'd just take one really
special lady to change all that.

George.

What's going on around here?

Good Morning Pacific
Bay wanted to do

my segment down
here in the precinct.

You know, for the ambience.

It's kind of like a
hero-of-the-week kind of thing.

No, no, I get it.

I'm glad you're here.
I wanna talk to you.

Something is not
adding up about this case.

Just give me one
second? Excuse me.

I spoke to the woman who
owns the cleaners and get this.

She says there was a
fourth gunman that night.

Well, the lady's confused,
because I only took down...

Sorry.

You only took down three guys.

Well, what if he got
away before we got there?

Jim, listen to me.

Did you ever read
that issue of Superman

where Superman's chasing
around those jaywalkers?

No.

Neither have I, because
superheroes have better things to do.

Look, I tracked down the address of
the guy whose dry cleaning was stolen.

Just do me a favor. Talk to him.

Do your lawyer thing. See
if he's hiding something.

I need my hero.

Sorry, you'll have to wait.

Guy needs his hero.

Okay.

Am I interrupting?

Daph. No, your mom just
had to run out for a second.

I actually wanted to
talk to you. To me?

Okay. Well, how may I help you?

Besides encouraging
you to avoid stripes.

Oh, no, she just
read my mind, right?

If you are in here, those
jeans are super cute!

Super cute.

Um...

I actually wanted
to talk about boys.

Okay.

I've had a hard time
figuring them out lately. Right.

And Will, he seems
so great... I know.

That I wanted some advice on
where I can find somebody like that.

Do you know the odds of meeting

a single, down-to-earth,
heterosexual male

with impeccable fingernails?

I mean, it's
technically rhetorical.

But I could formulate an answer

using the appropriate research.

I'm just curious
where you met him.

Through friends.

Internet friends.

An online dating site.

Anything else?

But that's impossible.

I created that
online dating profile.

The guy doesn't
exist without me.

Well, unfortunately, he does.

Katie is dating
a real, live man.

How do you explain
that, Mr. Geppetto?

I don't know.

Can't you just
read Will's thoughts

and find out what's up with him?

I tried that, remember? Right.

Maybe both our
powers are on the fritz.

What do you mean
both our powers?

I needed mine today
and they didn't work.

As soon as I started
talking to this girl...

She was super cool.

Super hot. Like a
14-year-old Katie.

I wanted to kiss her so bad...

JJ, gross.

Would you stop?

My mind is a private area! Wait.

What if your powers
won't work with pretty girls?

Wanting to kiss her turns
her into your kryptonite.

You think that's what it is?

My brain gets too distracted?

I don't know if it's your brain,

but in the meantime, ask
yourself the following question.

How am I supposed
to explain to Mom

that Katie is dating
your fictional creation?

Dr. Powell.

You shouldn't be here, Francis.

Not after you attacked Dr. King.

What are you talking about?

I saw what you did to his face.

His face? I never
touched him! (EXCLAIMS)

You have to believe me.

They're gaslighting me.

I understand why you
might feel that way.

You think I'm crazy.

But you don't have to take
my word for any of this, okay?

The answers are all in here.

Test it.

Test it, then you'll
know the truth.

Open your eyes, Dr. Powell.

Everything is not as it seems.

This evidence will
cause you to question

everything you know to be true.

You may try to convince
yourself it's not happening,

but it won't matter,

because the facts will
speak for themselves.

Powell.

You wanted to see me?

Hell yeah, I did.

What about?

What you've been
doing. The secret.

The secret?

Cut the crap, Powell.

I've got the whole thing
on videotape. It was you.

You saved my life!

What? Last week.

The collision. You
pulled me out of that van!

At first, I couldn't figure out
why you didn't say something.

You know, I mean,
why keep quiet about it?

And then I realized.

It's been under my
nose this whole time.

You wanna be anonymous.

You're not some glory hound
like your friend St. Cloud, man.

You are a real hero!

Look, you know,

I know I bust
your hump a little.

But the truth is that
you are more cop

than half the guys
in this precinct.

Whatever you need,
I'm here for you.

Well, to tell you the truth I
could use the rest of the day off.

Do some personal business.

Consider it done.

JIM: Okay, George,
I guess you're busy.

Just on my way to talk to that
guy with the missing dry cleaning.

But I could use a little
navigation help here.

George.

You know what? I have
GPS right here on my phone.

So who needs you, George?

AUTOMATED VOICE: Turn
right and proceed 62 meters.

Meters?

That's like yards, right?

You have arrived
at your destination.

Mr. Parillo?

Yeah?

I'm with your insurance company.

My insurance company?

And I have a few questions
to ask about your recent theft.

Any idea why anyone
would steal your dry cleaning?

No, none.

I mean, who'd want old
work uniforms anyway?

Work uniforms?

What is it that
you do, Mr. Parillo?

I work for the Transit
Authority. Train conductor.

STEPHANIE: I know you're
concerned, but you don't need to be.

Will may be a little shy,
but he seems lovely.

But what do you really
know about him, Mom?

Did you know that
Katie met him online?

So?

So I don't think he
is who he says he is.

Sweetie, everyone
exaggerates online.

I believe it's part
of the implied

social contract
of Internet dating.

That's not what I meant.

Will didn't
exaggerate his profile.

It isn't real.

I guess you could
say that JJ kind of...

Created him. Or created
his profile, to be precise.

So JJ faked Will's profile?

I don't get it.

I know. It doesn't
make a lot of sense.

But if Will is pretending
to be someone else,

we have to ask ourselves why.

What are his motives?

Does it have something
to do with our powers...

This is unbelievable.

I know.

No, it's unbelievable
because I don't believe it.

You know, just because
your world is crazy,

it doesn't mean that
everybody else's is.

Sometimes things, they
just are what they are.

And this case is one of them.

But what if it's not?

What if the dry
cleaning heist was

just a warm up
for the main event?

What, like knocking
off a Laundromat?

No. Maybe they
stole the uniforms

so they could rob a
train or something.

What if they have
a choo-choo fetish?

Look. What're these guys
gonna do? They're already in jail.

One of them got away.

All the guy has to do
is re-crew. Seriously!

For a moment, let's
consider the possibility.

That you have your own motives.

That maybe you don't
want me to be with Will

because if I had
a personal life,

then I wouldn't be
available to you 24/7.

That's ridiculous.

Testing your powers, and tutoring
JJ, and checking on your kids

when you're out
celebrating your anniversary.

I thought you liked helping me.

I do, mostly.

But at times like this,
I just need to say...

That I don't have
time for this right now.

I gotta be dressed and
downtown in 45 minutes.

For what?

Award ceremony.

City council's giving me
a plaque or something.

So instead of
stopping one crime,

you wanna get an award
for not stopping another one.

That's good work, hero.

You know what?
How about this theory?

I think the reason you keep
spinning this dry cleaning thing

is because you're jealous.

What? I think you're pissed

because someone around
here is finally getting a little credit

and that someone is not you.

It's not true, George.

Up until the other day...

I thought we were a team.

Of course you do.
Team Stephanie!

But even though
there's no "I" in "team"

there's a big "I"
in "Stephanie."

And there's a "P-H,"

which we both know in
chemistry is a measure of acidity.

Wait. What?

So, I just wish for once
that you would consider...

Where you'd be without me.

You think getting powers
turned you into a superhero?

No! Having someone
believe in you did that.

Without me, you'd
be a really strong guy

with an impressive
list of party tricks.

If that's the way
you really feel,

why have you
been doing all this?

I'm kind of asking
myself the same question.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that

maybe it's time we took a break.

Find yourself another sidekick.

That's the way you feel?

I do. Well, fine.

Fine! Fine.

Fine!

Hey.

JJ. Hey.

What are you working on?

My statistics homework

from the Saturday class
I'm taking at the university.

A little stuck on this problem.

Well, you found the right guy.

Why don't I take a look?

Let's see...

So, what do you think?

I think that...

I've kind of got a girl problem.

You've got a girl?

No, but I met one
at my genius club.

The thing is, when I try to
use my powers to impress her,

my brain just doesn't work.

You feel like you can't perform.

Brain-wise, I mean. Exactly!

She's so pretty.

And every time I
look at her, it feels like

the blood rushes out of
my head and into my...

Got it!

So, what do I do?

Um...

Sometimes it helps
to trick your brain

by thinking of something other
than how she makes you feel.

Like, thinking
of baseball stats.

Some guys think of, like, batting
averages, RBIs, that kind of thing.

Maybe I should do that, too.

Download my brain
with baseball stats.

Thanks, Dad.

You look like you had my day.

It's Katie. We kind
of had our first fight.

Me and George, too.

He kind of quit.

What? Really? Yeah.

Look, maybe it's for the best.

There's no rule that says
sidekicks have to last forever, right?

I mean, Batman could've traded
in Robin for some other guy.

But even if you wanted
to trade in George,

who could you replace him with?

Jim! What can I
do for you, buddy?

Hey. Come here, have a seat.

How was your day off?
Everything go all right?

How about a cookie, huh?

It's from my niece's
quinceanera. They're fresh.

No. I just used the time
that you gave me yesterday

to help my son
with his homework.

Oh, man. Look at that,
a hero and a family man.

Yeah. I was just helping
him with his research project.

On the local transit system.

And he asked me if any of the
trains had ever been robbed before.

And I said if anyone would
know that it would be you.

Well, yeah, I mean,
a few years back,

some guys hit the Pacific Bay
Transit Authority's money train.

Money train? What's a...

It's like an armored car
but, you know, a train.

And it transports the city's cash
intake to Central Deposit downtown.

Well, how did the
robbers gain access?

They dressed like conductors,

they smuggled their weapons
in two Transit Authority duffels

and nobody even gave
them a second look.

Wow. Disguised
as conductors, huh?

Fascinating.

Well, my son's report is gonna
be chock full of information.

Hey, thanks, Detective.

Frank.

(BOTH LAUGH)

All right. This is Serum Test
One. Subject, Rattus tanezumi.

Subject has received an
injection of 0.3 cc's of the serum

provided by Dr. Chiles
with no discernable effects.

Dr. Chiles, it's Stephanie
Powell. I just injected a rat...

No, no, no, no,
not on the phone.

What?

This isn't a secure line.

Come to my apartment.

Aren't you being
a little paranoid?

It's not paranoia when
the danger is real.

And Dr. Powell, don't
tell anyone you're coming.

You look upset.

Dr. Powell and I
had a little spat.

She planted some doubts
in my mind. It's stupid.

Well, if it was stupid, it
wouldn't be bothering you, right?

Come on, you can tell me.

So, Dr. Powell...

This is the stupid part.

She doesn't think that you
are who you say you are.

I mean, if she wanted
me to dump you,

she could at least come up
with something believable.

Like, you're married...

I'm not married.

Or a commitment-phobe?

No, not that either.

Or a Wiccan?

Not that there's anything
wrong with being a Wiccan.

That wasn't... I
just... No, no, no.

It's none of those.

But here is the other thing,

she's right.

Look. You remember
the night that we met?

I was standing at the bar.
And I saw you sitting alone.

And every time that somebody
arrived, you'd look up hopefully.

I just... I wanted you
to look at me that way.

And so I just
walked over to you.

And then I just assumed
you were my online date.

Look. I'm sorry.

I mean, it's been killing
me, not telling you this.

So don't be mad at
Dr. Powell, all right?

She was just
looking out for you.

So I guess your
name isn't really Will?

No, it's Joshua.

Joshua?

Well, it's nice to
meet you, Joshua.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

It's my boss.

This is Joshua.

I'll be right there.

I guess I'm sorry again.

Yeah, just wanted to let you
know, everything's under control.

Turns out Detective Cordero

was extremely helpful
on the potential train heist.

So you just go and enjoy
your award ceremony.

Frank and I have
this one under control.

Turkey club?

Someone call Security!
Guy's trying to steal our lunch!

(KNOCKING)

That was rather
quick, Dr. Powell.

Almost faster than
humanly possible.

Can I give you
some advice, Doctor?

This is happening.

The best thing that
you can do is let it.

(GASPS)

What are those?

Those are the pills you've
chosen to end your life with.

Best two out of three.

Okay. No offense, JJ, you
seem like a really nice guy, but...

Just not a smart one.

Then there's not much danger
of me beating you, I guess.

You know, JJ, there's nothing
wrong with being an average guy.

Average.

Batting average.
Earned run average...

Bold.

Figured I'd use the
Sicilian Defense.

Most kids do.

Yeah, well...

I'm not most kids.

Checkmate.

Sorry, I didn't...

No, it's fine.

Just unexpected.

Dr. Chiles?

Francis?

Francis?

Oh, my God.

Oh!

Well, it was nothing.
Just... It's the call of duty.

REPORTER: Pacific Bay Police
responded today after an unknown assailant

attacked three train
conductors on their way to work.

The victims could provide...

Jim... no motive for the attack,

which created
massive delays when

police closed down
Union Station...

That is not cool, man.

To conduct a manhunt
for the assailant.

I can't believe how
badly I screwed up.

My instincts have never
been this wrong before.

You know what? Maybe the
problem wasn't your instincts.

It was your intel.

What do you mean?

Look. A superhero is only
as good as his sidekick.

And Cordero...

Well, he ain't no George St.
Cloud, if you know what I'm saying.

Now, a grade-A
sidekick would know that

on the first Tuesday
of every month,

the money train makes
its run from Central Station,

not Union Station.

Which also happens to be when

they make their deposit into
the Federal Bank downtown.

But today's the first
Tuesday of the month.

You don't say.

What are you waiting for?

Go! I'll be in your
ear the whole way.

Hey, but wait, wait.

Aren't you supposed to be getting
some sort of award or something?

What, the key to the city?

Now what would I do with
some key that don't open nothing?

Will you go? Like, hop.
Like, go right now. Bye.

Hop!

All right, George.
I see the train,

but it's already
left the station.

Well, then stop it.

It's a train, George.

You can stop cars,
you can stop bullets...

Okay. Let me put it this way.

It's a train, George!

Will you trust your sidekick?

Think of it as a really
big car on tracks, okay?

You can do this.

Okay! I'm here!

Standing in front of a train.

That's going 50 miles an hour!

Look, Jim. I can't
stop the train myself.

All I can do is
trust that you can.

Here it comes!

I love you, man.

What? Don't say "I love you!"

People only say that
just before someone...

Jim?

Yo, Jim!

(GRUNTING)

Holy...

Hey!

So, it's like that, huh?

Boom! Yeah!

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi, Daphne.

Is your mother home?

No, she... Something
came up at work.

That's all right.

I came by to talk with her,

but I think you'll do just fine.

This is all my fault.

I discovered that Dr. Chiles was
continuing Dr. Volson's genome research.

Stephanie, he was
doing human trials.

I tried to put a
stop to it, but...

His life was his work.

You know, if there
is a silver lining...

I found Chiles' last
set of research notes.

Look at this. It seems
like his work was

right on the verge
of bearing fruit.

His research may have
been leading to a cure

for any number of degenerative
illnesses, genetic defects.

Are you planning on
continuing with his research?

Ethically, within appropriate
scientific boundaries, yes.

But I was hoping I
wouldn't be doing it alone.

I guess you pretending
to be somebody else is

kind of romantic.

Well, I'm glad you
can see my side of it.

And I appreciate you
being protective of Katie.

Now you know I am, too.

Of course.

Well, thanks so
much for stopping by.

I guess I really misread you.

Thank you for hearing me out.

Um... Have a good night.

Who are you calling, Daphne?

Stay away from me!
Stay away from me!

You've been trying to read
my mind for days, haven't you?

Did you finally find a way
to get past my defenses?

I don't know who you are
and I don't know what you want,

but get out of my house!

It's okay. I'm not
gonna hurt you.

If I were going to, I would
have done it already.

(SCREAMS)

You're not alone, Daphne.

There are others out there.

But you and your family,

you're the only ones whose
powers seem to be permanent.

And I'm just trying
to figure out why.

So I can be like you.

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

Then who does?

Does your mother?

Dr. King is very
interested in her.

If he only knew how
truly interesting she is.

Please!

How interesting you all are.

I won't tell anybody
what I saw. Please!

Oh, I know you won't.

Please!

I gotta admit, Mr. Powell,

you do good work.

And I gotta admit, I wouldn't
have done it without you, George.

Couldn't have.

What are sidekicks for?

You're not my sidekick.
You're my partner.

You've got the look of a man
who is about to hug another man.

Is that what's going on here?

Let's do it.

They can keep that key to the
city. This is what it's all about.

Hey, what time's your ceremony?

You could still make it.

Not in rush-hour
traffic, I can't.

Who said anything about traffic?

Come on, hop on.

Just like that?

Come on. Come on.

Wait! Wait.

Should I wear a
helmet or something?

Just hold on.

And I'm humbled.

I don't even deserve this award.

Not when there's so many real
heroes, living and serving every day.

I'm talking about teachers,
community leaders,

police sketch artists,

doctors,

scientists...

Dr. Powell...

Me, too.

GEORGE: Everyday people
working to solve everyday problems.

And not-so-everyday problems.

So look at the
people around you.

Look at the families you know.

We're all heroes.

Maybe even superheroes

in our own way.

Even if it's a secret we choose
to keep only to ourselves.

Wait a minute. Explain
this to me again.

The supervillains we've
been encountering were

actual test subjects from
Chiles' bastardized experiments.

Now that he's gone, it's likely
we'll be seeing less of them.

When was the last time things
went the way we expected?

Hey, Daph. What's going on?

Please don't make
me go right now.

I have a lot happening
with school and with Lucas...

Daphne, what are you
talking about? Go where?

To Brazil. For Mom's work trip.

Honey, that was
three months ago.

I wish.

Why are you guys
looking at me like that?

Well, because...

You don't seem to remember
anything that's happened to us

over the last three months.
