No Ordinary Family (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 3 - No Ordinary Ring - full transcript

Every story has a beginning.

We were just an ordinary family until...
Hold on!

Oh, my God!

Something extraordinary
has happened.

You can jump just over a quarter
mile, can lift 11,000 pounds.

I'm fast.

I can hear people's thoughts.

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

So you turned your garage into...

What every secret
crime-fighter needs... A lair.

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



It's done.

How'd you how to find me?
How hard could it be?

Remember back in school when
you had stuff on your mind,

you used to come out here and
try to hit balls into the ocean?

Now you're hitting
'em over the ocean.

It's a little more than
stuff on my mind, George.

My family's developed superpowers,

and the only friend I had
at the police department

was found dead last night.

And what good are
having these abilities

if I can't protect the
people I care about?

You just can't protect
everyone all the time.

Well, I can sure as hell try.

How about protecting yourself?
Oh, you forgot, didn't you?



Remember what you were told?

If you are not there on time tonight,
you are a dead man.

I'm late. Very late.

I'll clean all this stuff up. Go!

Never get tired of that.

Okay, with the distance you're covering,
it shouldn't take you that long.

You got a clear landing
on the Westbourne hotel.

Oh. You just tripped over
the roof again, didn't you?

You know what?

You serious gotta start
working in some finesse, man.

A little less black eye,
a little more peas, a'ight?

Okay. One minute to 7:00.
I'm here, and I don't see it.

Go right, but hurry.
The clock's ticking.

Excuse me. Coming through! Excuse me.
Whoa! Hey, man!

Out of the way! Excuse me.
Any second now...

Heads up, heads up, heads up!
Hey, almost there.

I made it.

Nice.

Tell Steph I'm on the way.

I told you you'd make it
to the tuxedo shop on time.

Hi.

Dad, where have you been?
You missed the entire wedding.

Well... Powells,
so glad you could come.

Oh, you look beautiful.
Oh, we wouldn't have missed it the world.

Daphne, J.J., it seems like just
yesterday I was babysitting you,

- and now... - And now you're
married to some superrich stud.

Daphne.

It's true.

Honestly, I have you
guys to thank for this.

- I mean, years of babysitting
Daph and J.J... - Oh.

Watching the two of you,
I remember thinking,

what they have...
That's what I want.

See you on the dance floor?

Yes.

So what about it, Jim?

When was the last time
we danced together?

Yeah, go, dad. Come on, dad.
Let's see what you got.

You know I don't dance.
No, I know you don't like to dance.

Have you forgotten our wedding?

Have your toes
forgotten our wedding?

Whoa! What's going on?

It's some sort of power
outage or something.

Everybody, freeze!

Watches, earrings, pearls,
jewelry... on the ground!

If it's worth anything, it goes in the bag!
Stay down. Stay down.

Aah! Open up your purses
and empty out your wallets.

Wallets, cash.

Let's go, let's go!
I don't got all night!

You. Your watch. You! Listen up!
Just...just give me a minute.

This is not a negotiation!
This is a robbery!

Let's go! Let's go!

No, honey! I can handle this.

Without someone getting
caught in the cross fire?

Let's go! In the bag.
Earrings, too. Let's go!

Stay down. You! Barbie. The ring.

Mom. Come on.
Put the ring in the bag.

No, Steph. Let's go.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Get out of here! Go! Go, guys!

Where's dad going?

Hey, dad, where did you
run off to last night?

Well, I just...

Went to call the police.
Why didn't you use your powers?

I mean, you could've stopped 'em, right?
Well...

Because he knew it was too
dangerous. Right, honey?

Right. Exactly.

Look, it's the cops' jobs
to catch the bad guys.

It's your father's job to...
Draw them?

Bye, guys. Love you. Bye, sweetie.

Have a good one. Bye, dad.

Hey. I'm finally doing
something that I'm proud of.

What's wrong with letting
our kids know that?

What's wrong is making
them lie awake at night

wondering if their father
is gonna come home alive.

You know, you wouldn't be
saying that if I was a cop.

Well, you're not a cop, Jim.

You're just some
very strong man...

Who's putting himself
into dangerous situations

who doesn't know what to
do once he gets there.

Oh, where are you going?

To figure out how to
get your ring back.

Quite the winning streak, Powell.

Must be your incredible
teaching skills, sir.

Impressive.

Seems like last week you were
just as clueless as I was.

Yeah, well, it was like I
just woke up one morning,

and it all made sense.
Wish I could've woken up with you.

You know what I mean.

Hey. Um, Sara.

I could help you study sometime.
Anytime, actually.

You know, just say the word,
and I'm sure I'm free.

Not that I'm always free,
you know.

I mean, I am... All right.
How about Friday night?

I'd ask what all those tingly
things that you're feeling are,

but that would imply
that I care, and I don't.

Just came to give you these.

More homework? I just finished
two reports for you last night.

You know, this is blackmail. Hey,

anytime you wanna tell mom and
dad that you've been lying

and the only reason you're
doing so well in school

is because you have genius powers,
let me know.

Until then, get crackin'.
Hey, Daph.

I heard about your
family's plane crash. Yeah.

So crazy.

It feels like we haven't talked in,
like, forever.

Yeah, I've just been busy,
um, readjusting, I guess.

You wanna hang out after school?

Please say yes.

I really don't wanna
be alone right now.

Yeah. Sure. I-I'd love that.

Um, you wanna come over
after school? Okay.

Bye. Bye.

Your hand looks so weird
without your wedding ring on.

You know what? I heard a
couple of the I.T. guys

asking if you're single now. Ugh.
Tell them I'm happily married

to a man who can beat up
their entire department.

Ah. Dr. King.

You got it.

The board is throwing their
funding behind you

and that plant of yours.

You're kidding.

Oh, my God. Dr. King,
you don't know what this means to me.

And me.

I help.

Because the grant
is so substantial,

Global Tech will be taking out

an equally large, uh,
insurance policy on you.

Insurance policy?

Yeah, you just need to
take a standard physical,

initial a few paragraphs.

Uh, Dr. King...
Don't worry. You're worth every penny.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Maybe for the first
time ever, yes.

A physical means that
they're gonna draw my blood.

Which is chock-full of
anomalies since the accident.

And once they test that blood,

they're gonna discover
that I'm not normal,

meaning once they do,
they're not gonna fund my research.

You'll be the research.

It was so dark. I didn't get
the best look at the robbers.

So what'd the cops say when
you showed 'em your sketches?

Oh, they complimented
my shading technique.

What do you think they said?

They told me to butt out and
let them handle their business.

It'd just be a hell
of a lot easier

if everyone knew what I was doing.

Easier how? You reading
those comic books?

There is a reason that those
guys have secret identities.

'Cause the minute someone
finds out it's you, it's over.

Somebody gets robbed and you
don't stop it... Jim's fault.

Can't be in two places
at the same time.

Somebody gets killed...
Jim's fault.

Kid gets hurt just
trying to be like you...

So that's it? I gotta lie every
day for the rest of my life?

I'm a lawyer. Trust me.
You get used to it.

Check this out.

Third high-end wedding
hit this month.

With the score these guys are making,
probably not the last.

Meaning?

Meaning you don't
return the tux, Jim.

We got some weddings to crash.

That's from our trip to Brazil.

Your parents seem so happy.

Her parents are so perfect.

She'd never understand.

You okay, Megan?

Yeah. Thanks for having me over.

It's been forever
since we've hung out.

Yeah.

Why can't mom just forgive
him and come home?

For what it's worth, my parents
may seem really happy,

but... they have their
own problems, too.

What are you talking about?

Your parents...
aren't they splitting up?

How did you know that?

Were you going through my stuff
when I was in the bathroom?

No, I wasn't. I... You just looked like

you needed somebody
to talk to, so...

So you just happened to guess

exactly what was
going on in my life?

I gotta go.

Hi, Megan.
Hi. Hi.

I... thought Megan was
staying for dinner.

Everything all right?

I have to tell somebody
about this, about... me.

Okay, honey, we're here.

Anything you want to talk about...
no. Not you guys.

I have to tell Megan.
She thinks I'm a freak.

Oh. No, honey. She doesn't
think you're a freak.

And if the wrong person
found out about us...

I-I'm sorry. Some things are
better if they stay a secret.

But that's not fair.

You and mom got to
tell your friends.

Why can't I tell mine?

Your father and I have
talked about it, Daphne.

And you're right.
You do need to talk to someone,

so Uncle George and Katie
are here to... talk...

Or listen... or
whatever's on your mind.

I'm so hungry.

How about somebody offering a cracker
or a piece of cheese or something?

Oh, my God.
Daphne can read my mind.

I don't wanna talk to your
friends about my feelings.

I wanna talk to mine.

And I'm pretty sure I have
nothing to talk about.

Well, we'll talk about how
that makes you feel, J.J.

I'm here for you, man.
I'm here for the both of you.

Okay. So...

So you're telling me that
we have one of two options.

We can either talk
to your lab tech...

Or your best friend
who you confide in.

Air it out, Daph. I'm a vault.
You can tell me anything.

Anything but that puberty stuff.

Just pass right over that, please.

Look, Katie is bound
by medical oath,

and George has been your father's
best friend for half his life.

And Megan's been my
friend since kindergarten

which is... more
percent of my life.

Two-thirds.

66.6 repeating.

Or... whatever.

I'm sorry. We just can't risk it.

Fine. I won't say
anything to anyone ever.

May be excused?

I have homework to do.

Uh, that went well.

Will there be food?

Here's your A.P. history essay.

I went off on a few
irrelevant tangents

about Roosevelt's violation
of laissez-faire economics.

Wanted to make sure no one
accuses you of cheating.

Thanks.

All right. What's the favor?

What do you mean?

I can read minds, remember, J.J.?

Right.

So there's this girl... Sara Berg.

Will you find out if she likes me?

With your, um...

I'm not gonna use my powers
to hook you up like a plot

from one of mom and dad's
old John Hughes movies.

Please, Daph,
just this once, for me...

And your 10- to 12-page,
single-spaced report on "the Iliad"?

Dr. King, do you have a moment?

For you, Dr. Powell,
I might even have two.

It's about the funding
for my research.

I've worked... we've worked
so hard to get to this point,

and the idea that it all rests
on some insurance physical...

Well, I mean,
it just doesn't seem fair.

You're nervous. I get it.
Uh, you know,

we're all nervous when it
comes to medical testing.

No, no. You don't understand.

It's essentially a formality.

We already have your blood sample.
I'm sure it'll be fine.

You have my sample?

Well, I don't have it,
but our lab does.

You... you gave it to them
this afternoon, remember?

And once they test
it in the morning,

you'll have your funding,
so stop worrying.

You had a "Sophie's Choice"...

Your family or your research...
and I did not want you

to be haunted by that decision
like Meryl Streep was.

So you took the physical for me?

I had your I.D. badge,

and the nurse was so sweet.
She didn't ask any questions.

She just took my blood
and listened to my heart,

and... I thought you would
be happy about this.

Katie, a part of me is touched,

but when I was hired here,
my blood was drawn, analyzed.

Part of my employee screening.

And now they'll compare my
old sample with my new one,

and when it is, it's a felony.

Questions, inquiries.
Your job and possibly mine.

Okay. It's okay.
It's not a big deal.

They won't be testing
your blood...

My blood until tomorrow morning,
so we will just have to...

Get to it first.

Right.

Oh! Oh! I'm so sorry.

It was an accident.

Oh. Pre-algebra.

I-I think my brother's in this class...
J.J. Powell?

J.J.! Yeah. Um, he's helping
me with my homework.

Oh, you must be Sara.
He's... he's mentioned you.

God, I hope he doesn't like me.

You know, he's always talking
he's-about his classmates.

God, I hope what do
you think of J.J.?

He's nice... for a major tool.

He's great. Super helpful.

Um, I gotta go. See ya.

I can't believe we're
actually doing this, George.

You can thank me later when
we get Steph's ring back.

Yo. Ooh. Thank you.

Cheers.

Man.

Check out the bling.
They practically opened

their safety-deposit boxes to
get right for this affair. Ohh.

Yeah. It's a perfect place to hit.

Excuse me. Huh?

I don't believe we've met.
I'm Lou, Kristen's father.

I'm Jim. We're with the groom.

Oh, you must be one of Pete's
friends from medical school.

Exactly. I'm one of Pete's
friends from medical school.

Hey, congratulations.

Thank you.

Lovely affair. Cheers.

Thank you.

Doctor? See, all that practice
lying to Daphne is paying off.

Come on. We gotta blend in,
and the best way to do that

at a wedding is on the
dance floor. Let's go.

What?

Now I see why you can't
land worth a damn.

You dance like you're trying
to escape angry villagers.

What?

Excuse me.

Excuse me, doctor?

Jim! There's someone here that
wanted to say hello to you.

Hey! Pete, how are ya?

Congratulations.

Feels like it's been forever.

I'm sorry. Do I... Do I know you?

Oh, hey, man. Pete, what, you...
What, you don't remember us now?

George. Jim. Med school.

And you both went to my same...
Yeah, well, I mean well, I dropped out,

'cause I just realized,
you know what?

Dermatology wasn't my thing,

but this guy is an artist with
a scalpel. I had a mole once.

He slices it off. Whoop! Like tuna sashimi.
It was a little mole.

- And I invited you? - Look, bottom line is,
we just love you, bro.

I'm happy for you.
We love you. So proud. Oh.

George.

Go now!

What is he doing? Huh?

The cake! Oh, my God! The cake!

So where you guys registered?

If you wanna get better at
this crime-fighting thing,

we're gonna have to keep you
from crash-landing on rooftops

and missing fire escapes.
Really? And how you gonna do that?

By working on your finesse...
I.E., giving you some.

This will help you land better.
"Dance Mix U.S.A."?

"Booty Quake Hits of the '90s"?

Dancing will teach
you how to, you know,

be more aware of your
body and... and show you

how to move it in a
more controlled way.

This way you can
catch the bad guys,

blend in at weddings,
and look good doing it.

George, I don't think
this is a very good idea.

Oh, I know, but the key
to this whole thing

is just feeling the beat.
You feel that?

Do you feel that?

Yes, I feel it.

Okay, good. Now what does
it make you wanna do, huh?

You wanna tap them feet, right?

Tap your foot, bro. Tap.
Tap your feet. Nice tappin'.

Nice. Okay. Yeah.
Commit to it. Unh!

There you go. Unh! Okay, good.
Now just lean. All right.

Yes! Yes, tap your feet.
There you go. Unh! Okay, good.

Yeah. What does that
make you wanna do, huh?

Makes you want to turn,
right? Turn with style, baby. Turn.

Oh. Turn, baby,
turn! Yeah, just turn!

Nothin' a little spackle
can't fix.

Dad?

Daphne.

Uh, hey, hi.
Hi.

What are you doing?

I-I was just learning some moves

that George was teaching
me for the next time

your mom and I are
invited to a wedding.

Check it.

Oh, don't do that.

What do you want, Daphne?

Um... actually,
I wanted to talk to George.

Oh, hey, sweetie. That's great.

Enjoy.

Dr. Powell. Okay, not to rush you,

but retrieving that blood sample
is just a tad time-sensitive,

you know, if we
wanna stay employed

or, say, out of jail.
Ohh. Sorry, Katie.

I've never had to plan
a break-in before.

All right. So where is the
blood sample being kept?

Lab A.F.-15. Subbasement.

Well, A.F.-15 is black
key card access only.

We can't use my card.
It'll I.D. me.

So we just have to get our
hands on another key card.

Who else do we know who
has code black access?

I knew it was just
a matter of time

before you lost interest in
Dr. Powell's prehistoric plant.

Well, uh, after the
staff meeting last week,

I realized you and I
have never really talked

about your work with
polypeptide folds.

I had no idea you cared.

What? Of course.

For example, um, how did you solve

the problem of plasmic resistance?

Well, it's actually
quite unexpected.

What you have to do is
linearize the structure

to permit the addition
of chimeric plasmids.

Oh, my God. That is genius.

Did they just... did they
just kick the A.C. on?

So glad we have a little chat.

So your dad said you
needed some advice.

Yeah, with J.J.

He asked me to mind-read this
girl that he has a crush on

and see how she feels about him...

Oh. Whoa. Okay. See,
mind reading, super-jumping...

I'm wingin' it, all right?

Girl problems-
now you're in my wheelhouse.

You sure? I was the flower
girl at both of your weddings.

Fine. I suck at marriage,
but I am great at dating,

so what's the problem? Shoot.

The girl J.J. likes
thinks he's a total loser.

Oh. And you don't know how
to break the news to J.J.?

Easy. Don't. No sense in letting
him get hurt like that.

But I have to be honest with him.

Says who? Just tell him that
she's not into guys like him,

you know, like,
she only dates astronauts

or, like, oceanographers.
Whatever.

Just pick something
that J.J. isn't.

This way, it's not personal.

Okay. Okay, uh, were you really
teaching my dad how to dance?

Whoa. Look at the time.

Oh, man. Gotta get back to work.

Careful. She can read your mind.

You two have been spending
a lot of time together

ever since everything happened.

Alabama... Montgomery.

Alaska... Juneau.

New Mexico... Santa Fe...
No, Albuquerque.

I was talking to George,
and it was like he was covering,

keeping a secret for him.

Who cares? Did you
mind-read Sara yet?

What'd she say...
I mean... think?

She... likes you.

She thinks you're really cool.

And?

Y-you're just not her type. Sorry.

W-wait a minute. What do you mean,
I'm not her type?

I didn't know she had a type.
I could be her type.

Mm... No, you can't.

What do you mean? What...
What type of guys does she date?

Jewish ones.

She only dates Jewish guys?

Uh, I don't ally know.

It's what she said...
or... thought.

You're breaking into the lab?
I don't have a choice.

I have to get that
blood sample back.

Ah! J-just like I have
to get your ring back.

That's a piece of jewelry.

You don't have to put
your life in danger.

It's more than that.
At least, to me it is.

You're stopping a felony,
and I'm committing one.

Remember when we used
to have movie night?

Hey. Be careful.

You, too.

Here.

Hey.

Hey.

Uh... want one of these?

No, thanks.

You know, when you were little,

I used to arrange the slices

to look like a lion's mane.

Yeah, when I was, like, a baby.

I don't know if you've noticed,
but I'm 16 now.

Daph, no matter how old you get,
you'll always be my baby.

All right. I said it.

Hey, George. What's up?

There's another wedding tonight.

Belle Pacific Hotel.
Place is just begging to be hit.

Okay. I-I got it. I'll be there.

I-I gotta go. It's a work thing.

Now? What kind of work thing?

Uh, it's time-sensitive.

Uh, description of a perp is still
fresh in the witness's mind.

It's best that I take advantage.

Uh, okay. Where are you going?

Belle Pacific Hotel.

Precinct.

Dad... you wouldn't
lie to me, right?

You... always tell me the truth?

Always.

Oh, God. Ohh.

Well, you... do know that
I'm the one going in, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I just, you know, wanted to
feel like a part of things.

So what do you say...
you wanna help me break into

a highly secured
research facility?

I thought you would never ask. Mm.

So here's the plan.
You'll swap out this blood sample,

the one you used last
year as a control

for your genome research,

with my blood locked
up in the A.F.-15 lab.

Right. Got it.

Okay. Before you go in,

you need to make sure you know
exactly where you're going.

There are surveillance
cameras everywhere,

so once you start running, the
one thing you can't do is stop.

As soon as you enter the building,
you'll be in camera sight.

Well, a person moving at
normal speed would be,

but luckily, you'll be
moving quite a bit faster.

Just remember, it doesn't
matter how fast you're going

if you're inside something slow,

so go past the elevators
and use the stairs.

Now at the bottom of the
stairs is another guard, Sal.

He enjoys gas station burritos,
conservative talk radio,

and staring at your boobs when
he thinks you won't notice,

which, again, at your speed,
won't be a problem,

but the card reader
is located on the wall

directly behind Sal,
and swiping it won't be easy.

If you slow down,
it's a Kodak moment.

You're a lifesaver.

I would totally fail
if you weren't here.

I'm performing a mitzvah.

It's, uh, what we do.

Ow me what you got.

Um... very close,
but "x" equals 5, not 42.

Whatever. I just need a "c."

Maybe could you give
me an easier problem?

Yeah. No, totally.

Let's, uh, try to find something.

Uh... and... uh...

What is... what is
this doing here?

Uh, it's a song of Solomon
poem I loved as a boy.

J.J., um, can we just study...

Please?

Um, yeah.

No, sorry. My bad.
I was, um, just, you know...

I, um, gotta keep
an eye on the clock.

I'm already late for shabbat dinner.
Sha-what dinner?

Blessing the candles.
Reciting the kiddush.

How can you not know
what shabbat dinner is?

Maybe because I'm not Jewish?

Then why do you only
date Jewish guys?

Wh-what are you
talking about? Uh...

I... should go.

Where are all the cops?

They don't have enough
manpower to get everywhere.

You see anything interesting?
Girl in the pink look like she got

a little Thandi Newton/
Sanaa Lathan thing going on.

About the robbers, George.

No, nothing yet.

Focus, George. I'm...
Hey.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not a very good dancer.

You gotta blend in. This is what
you do to blend in. No, no, no.

Just do what I taught you.
Come on.

Yeah. There you go. There you go.

You're feelin' it now, right?

I'm feelin' somethin'.

Yeah. Yeah.

There you go. Yeah.

Everybody down! Right now!

Who wants to go home?
Who wants to die?

Let's go! Get down!

This is it, man.
You know what you're gonna do?

I'm gonna see a man about a ring.
That watch, now! In the bag.

Come on, you!

Jim! Uhh!

He's wearing some kind of kevlar!

We got the cops here.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!

Excuse me. Daphne?
Dad?

Uh, sweetheart, I can explain...

What are you doing here?
Did you get shot?

Just not right now. I have to go.

Dad...

Come on, boys!
Let's get a move on.

What...

Unit 1724, arriving on scene....

Okay? Ohh. What the...

You lied to me.

You stood there,
looked me in the eyes,

and said you were
going to the precinct.

I was... Just...
after I stopped a robbery.

Jim.

Look, you're 16 years old.

You're supposed to be thinking
about clothes and school

and boys, God help me.
I'm your father.

It's my job to worry about you,
not the other way around.

I have always been able to
count on a few things...

J.J. saying stupid stuff,
mom always talking about work,

and you always being
honest with me...

About everything.

But now you're lying to me,

and you won't even let me
tell the truth to anyone.

You're right.
I am 16 years old, dad,

and I'm tired of
being the only one

who has to keep
secrets around here...

Yours and mine.

Where... where are you going?
To tell Megan everything I can do.

Daphne, no.

You can stop bullets, dad.

Try stopping me.

Hey.

Jim! You have to let her go.

And let her tell someone
about what's happened to us?

Imagine if you didn't have
George and I didn't have Katie.

Megan's a kid. We don't know
how she's gonna react to this.

I mean, she's not mature
enough to understand.

We have to start
trusting her, Jim.

And what's the point
of keeping our secret

if it's just gonna drive her away?

Yeah, George.

We got a problem. You need
to get down to the precinct.

* Sit down beside
me and stay awhile *

* Let our hearts do their parts *

* With wine and words
to meet the hours *

Hey, Megan.

I want to apologize

for being such a freak lately.

Fine. You just did.

I'll see you in school.

There's something else, too.

I want to tell you the truth...

About how I knew your parents
were getting a divorce.

It may seem really
hard to believe.

I-it's even more
difficult to say...

But here it goes.

The truth is...

What the hell is going on, George?

I had that guy nailed,
not to mention

all the... all the
witnesses at the wedding.

Who basically saw nothing.
I.D. was messy. It was dark.

They were wearing tuxes
like everyone else.

There's nothing to hold him on,
unless you wanna charge him

with obstruction of a hood.

But you said they
recovered the getaway car.

Yeah, but the perps were nowhere
near it, and with nothing

to link the evidence back to them,
we have no case.

But, George, then you have to
make a case. That's your job.

You have to figure
out a way to... Jim.

Jim! We have to let them go.

That's how it works
for us mortals.

Some you win. Some you don't.
The system is not perfect.

I know that.

Maybe with some practice,

a little luck,

we'll get 'em next time.

The bad guy gets away,
I lose my daughter's trust,

and it's not a total loss? I mean,
how can you...

That's Steph's ring.

One of the uniforms
found it at the scene.

I thought you might want it.

Traitor! Blasphemer!

What are you talking about?

When Korach betrayed Moses,
God opened up the earth

and swallowed him in a
gaping hole of hellfire!

I'm sorry. I-I don't know what
I'm doing with this stuff.

I just hear things.
Even when I was a little dim,

I never expected you, of all people,
to set me up like this!

I was just trying to protect you.

Yeah? Well, you suck at it! J.J.!

I don't need this tsuris.

What the heck was that about?

Long story.

So... how did Megan handle it?

She didn't,
'cause I didn't tell her.

I told her I overheard her
mom talking about the divorce

at the supermarket.

So...
Yeah.

I lied.

I just didn't want things to
change between me and Megan.

I wanted to be normal
again for that one minute.

'Cause once you know
someone's secret, it's...

It's all you can think
about sometimes, you know?

Uh, at first, maybe.

It's all I think about with you.

Oh, Daph.

Whenever you go out,
all I'll be thinking about is,

where are you going,
and who are you fighting,

and what kind of danger are you in?

No, no.

For me, these powers...
They're finally allowing me

to be the person that
I-I've always wanted to be.

I know that sounds weird
coming from your dad,

but it, uh, sometimes...

Sometimes even us parents haven't
figured out who we are yet.

But, listen, nothing's
going to happen to me.

You understand?

Nothing.

Can you promise me that?

No, I can't...

But that's just something
we're gonna have to live with.

Yeah?

You needed to see me? Have a seat.

I-I'm curious,

w-were you in the
building last night?

Me? No.

Someone used your key card
to access the medical lab.

Do you know who it was?

No. Nothing showed up on
the surveillance tape.

I'm sure it's just some sort
of glitch in the system.

I'll have security look into it.

That's all, Francis.

Okay.

You know I don't like surprises,

but how much further?

Well, actually,

we're right about...

Here.

Jim.

It takes six months to
get reservations here.

Well, true.

That's why we're
going somewhere else.

And much more exclusive.

I know how much time you spend
worrying about my powers.

I just thought...

We should spend a little
time enjoying them, too.

Oh, and I have something for you.

Jim, you got it back.

Cops found it at the scene.

Someone threw the bad
guys off their game.

I'm not saying who.

You know, I never told you this,
but that ring has got to be

- the ugliest ring I've ever seen in my life
- No, it's not.

- Absolutely. It absolutely is.
- Jim, I love this ring.

When I bought it for you,
I was an artist barely getting by.

The only ring I could afford was

- the smallest, ugliest ring in the store.
- It's not ugly.

And when I got down on
my knee and I proposed,

you looked at it and you said,

"That's the most beautiful
thing I've ever seen."

And I knew... I knew right
then I had the right girl.

And every time I see
it on your finger,

I know you love me for who I am.

And I love you

for the beauty you see
in ordinary things.
