Marvel's Runaways

Previously on Marvel's Runaways...

Alex: What is happening?

No, please! Please! Stop!

I think our parents killed that girl.

- Jonah: I'm your father. - I'm an alien?

So are they. I'd like to introduce you to your brother.

Come with me. Full acceleration.

- No. - Jonah: Look what you've done.

I'll bring your kids home.

Tina: We can trust you to handle this.

Get out!

Xavin: I'm Xavin. I've been looking for you.

Our destinies are woven together.

- - Victor : Son...

- Dad, is that you? - I'm sick. Can you come home?

- What are you doing? - I'm leaving.

Chase: Promise me none of them get hurt.

None of them will get hurt if you succeed.

Dale: They have serious firepower

that they're gonna use on you guys.

- - It's them!

We gotta split up!

Let's be clear. Nobody forced you to kill those kids.

Or to pull that trigger on Darius.

Xavin: The baby you're carrying is of royal lineage.

The Magistrate will not allow you

to remain in sole possession of one of their own.

Why are you even after me?

I warned you I was gonna take everything.

That includes you.

That's not any alien in there. That's Jonah.

This isn't the Stacey I know.

Dale: Mom's been acting a little strange lately,

so I thought the best thing for us to do would be go on the road.

Tina: You are the only other person that staff will work for.

Molly: Nico, you made it!

I'm not sure how, though. It's a little fuzzy.

- Alex: Is everybody okay? - Molly: Where's Gert?

- Alex: I thought she was with you. - We got split up.

- Where's Karolina? - Xavin: The Magistrate has her.

The one you call Jonah.

No, Jonah's dead. I killed him.

Xavin: The others escaped when I did.

I believe they simply took on new hosts.

- Victor: We're still missing one. - He's our son.

- Who's the host? - Stacey: It could be one of the kids.

Gert: Chase, help!

Alex?

Alex.

Alex!

It's okay, buddy. I got you.

It's too late. Help the others.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Molly!

- Save Gert. - Gert: Put me down! Let go!

- Someone help me! Help! Please! - Let her go!

Chase, help!

Chase, Chase! Please! Help!

Fistigons, do not fail me now.

Chase, there are some things you will never understand.

No doubt. But this isn't one of them.

It's okay. We're your parents.

Just calm down. You can trust us.

- Janet: We're your family. - Victor: Just be one of us.

Come home, son.

I am home.

Gert. No, no, no, no.

No. Please be okay. I can't lose you.

Chase.

You saved my life.

You're my hero!

Good morning, sweetheart. I'm making you crepes.

Look what came in the mail. Superstar.

I have to say, I thought it would feel like no big deal.

Like doing the work is all that really matters, but...

The recognition, Victor.

It feels amazing.

And you made it all possible.

Oh, I don't know about that.

Don't diminish yourself. I wouldn't be here without you.

Chase'll be so proud. Chase, come see!

When I first talked to that shy girl in astronomy class...

Did I know she was a genius who would save the world?

Or did I just get lucky?

- -

Chase: It's time.

Karolina!

Karolina!

Karolina! Where are you?

Hey there, little witch.

AWOL.

I'm so sorry.

Look, I... I never meant to...

No worries.

I'm not dead. I'm here.

All the guys are.

- And here is... - Beautiful.

I'm glad I'm out of the old world.

You saved me.

What would you like, Nico? I'm here for you.

I have to find Karolina.

Morgan le Fay: You want to save her.

I love her.

I know.

Karolina's alive. She's waiting for you.

But she's trapped.

Will you help me?

I already have.

There is nothing. Just dead air.

No connection? You don't feel Karolina at all?

Must be some sort of physical barrier around her.

Molly: Or maybe Karolina's already dead.

And for all we know, Gert is too!

Karolina's alive. But she's trapped somewhere.

Leslie: And you know this how?

Nico: I had a dream about it.

Okay...

Xavin: You will forgive me for not accepting

this as evidence of her safety.

It was very...

vivid.

And what about Gert? Did you dream about her?

Alex: You guys, get in here!

Pride's about to do a news conference,

so I hacked into a bunch of microwave and satellite news feeds...

Nico: If it's on the news, can't we just watch it online?

Oh.

Is that Stacey?

Nico: My mom is wearing pink?

- Xavin: There's the Magistrate. - Alex, turn it up.

Jonah : Thirty-six hours ago,

a gas leak led to an explosion

that destroyed our headquarters

and critically injured Robert Minoru.

Did you know about your dad?

Molly: Or that there was a gas leak?

Uh... I don't remember much about what happened after we split up.

Leslie: Just remember that's Pride up there.

If they're speaking into a microphone, it's probably a lie.

Alex: I'm sorry, Nico.

Your dad always seemed a little less evil than the rest of them.

Jonah: Robert's in intensive care

at University of Los Angeles Medical Center.

We're praying for his full and speedy recovery.

- Aren't we, Tina? - Mm-hmm. Totes.

What is my mom doing?

Channeling 2012 Miley Cyrus?

That's the Daughter.

She craves attention and stimulation.

It's just as I suspected.

When the ship blew up, the Magistrate's family took new bodies.

- But my dream thing was too far-fetched? - Wait, how does it work?

Yeah, what happens to the person already in there?

Xavin: Much unpleasantness.

Slowly, the alien takes over until the host is gone completely.

Extinguished.

And you think the aliens are inside our parents?

It would make sense that they'd choose the nearest hosts.

People who were at the dig site.

They definitely chose my mom.

This is a message for a missing family member.

You are aware of who you are.

Maybe mine, too.

The moment has come to return home.

Now.

Reach us on our communication devices,

and we will retrieve you immediately.

No questions asked.

Xavin: The Magistrate's wife. See her bearing?

She's very powerful. And cruel.

Who is she talking to?

Her son.

Molly: Gert and I don't have a brother.

There is a fourth member of the Magistrate's family.

The darkest and most dangerous of them all.

If she's sending him a message...

Alex: That means he's still out there.

How do we know who he's inside of?

Leslie: We don't.

Jonah: Finally, I would like to denounce

the racially motivated charges

against Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder.

We're confident the Wilders will be fully exonerated.

Obviously, Pride is not an organization

that tolerates any kind of criminal behavior.

Or you're all a bunch of psychotic assholes who deserve to rot in jail.
