Naomi

Last time onNaomi...

They were hunting you.

They work for a man named Brutus.

He resented the 29.

All of us are on the run because of you.

Your powers are acting like a magnet. Brutus will send others.

You really think there is an alien here at this party?

You never do know people as well as you think.

You were breaking into my locker.

Is the disk in there?

And you think I stole it?

Is this what this is all about?

Aliens are a danger to our way of life.

I know who you are.

Sometimes the people you think you know the best

are the ones you don't really know at all.

["The Moment" by Amy Stroup playing]

Naomi, please. Please let us explain.

Pumpkin, just talk to us.

I can't.

Your parents are aliens?

I know.

Is this what it feels like to go through an existential crisis?

I thought I wouldn't have one till my 20s.

I just can't believe they've been lying to me this whole time.

Did they try to explain themselves?

They wanted to talk, but...

I can't even look at them.

My entire life is a lie.

We don't know that for sure.

Yes, this is some Succession level type family dysfunction.

But they're still your parents.

I don't know who they are.

Is my mom even a linguist?

Is my dad actually in the military?

I'm pretty sure you can't fake being in the army.

Linguistics?

Maybe.

Every time my mom cried when I asked about my adoption,

I felt horrible.

But I guess it was just all an act.

I know that this doesn't make it any better...

but your parents love you.

You can't fake love like that.

Annabelle, please don't tell me I should talk to them.

Hell, no. I'm furious with them.

They could have told me the truth.

When I found out I had powers,

they could have made it easier for me.

Instead, they let me feel alone.

I'm so sorry, babe.

Thank you for letting me crash here.

Of course.

You're going to be okay, babe.

You know that...

right?

All I know is I spent my entire life

believing what everyone told me about myself.

It's time I find my own truth.

How are you feeling?

Angry.

Confused, really sad.

I thought your wings could sense people

who weren't from this earth.

Only if they have powers.

So, that means what?

My parents are normal?

When it comes to the multi-verse,

normal is relative.

Why would their eyes glow blue

if they didn't have powers?

There are differences on the molecular level.

They're not human.

Right.

Because my parents are actual aliens.

Who are they?

How did they adopt me?

Where are they really from?

They're from Earth-29.

I met them on our home planet.

You lied to me?

I thought I could trust you.

I thought you were on my team!

I am, Naomi.

And so are your parents.

I didn't know Greg and Jennifer well,

but I knew them to be good.

So when I arrived on Earth and I saw that you were with them,

I knew you'd be safe.

Loved.

You should've told me.

I wanted you to have a normal life for as long as you could.

But maybe I miscalculated.

Is that your idea of an apology?

How did I get to this Earth,

really?

There are only two people who know the answer to that question.

I'm not talking to my parents.

Dee...

when you came over for dinner, you asked about this light.

You said that it might be above my birth rock.

An energy source.

Usually present at arrival events.

Your parents claimed they did not see one.

Except now they're officially unreliable.

Why would they lie about that?

Why would they lie about any of it?

There's no need for that, Akira.

Mac.

It's not exactly a warm welcome.

It wasn't meant to be.

No offense, but this place is seriously lacking in...

everything.

But then again, so is this planet.

Makes our world look like paradise.

What do you want, Mac?

Brutus sends his regards.

And he'd like to request your help on a new project,

respectfully.

I'm not interested.

Well, you haven't even heard his offer.

We found the girl, Akira.

She's on this earth.

Her powers have started to manifest.

I have no interest in her.

Maybe not.

But Brutus does.

You're going to help us defeat her.

Tell Brutus that I decline.

Respectfully.

It's not really a request.

But I think you know that.

Besides, you've worked with him once.

Why not again?

I didn't work with Brutus.

We had an agreement.

I turned Zumbado over to Brutus

and he agreed to let the rest of us leave.

That deal is over now.

Is anything ever really over?

Think about it.

War is coming, Akira.

I suggest you choose the winning side.

If I would've known finding your truth

was going to involve a possible snake encounter,

I might not have been so supportive.

We're almost there.

Last time I was here, my parents told me they found me on a rock.

I hated that they didn't tell me the truth,

but I loved them for adopting me.

I thought they were like Ma and Pa Kent.

I should have known that wasn't the only thing they were lying about.

Here we are.

This is your space rock?

Kind of thought it would look more...

Space-y?

Kind of like that.

What else does it do?

I don't know.

I just know that it's connected to me.

I think I missed something last time.

There's something in there. Stand back.

So...

What is that thing?

I have no idea.

This is going to be a long two days.

I can't believe my parents went out of town,

and left me in charge of a tiny human.

Naomi, are you listening?

Babe, if you stare at that phone any longer,

it's going to melt.

Still nothing from Nathan?

No.

I tried texting him, calling him.

I just tried calling him on a landline,

which apparently is attached to the wall in the house.

I thought those only existed in old movies, like, from the '90s.

Listen, I get why he's mad.

I was wrong to accuse him.

But he's fully ghosting me.

He'll come around.

Annabelle, what is this?

Your lunch.

It's supposed to be cream cheese, lettuce, pickles, banana slices,

grape jelly on the side with no crusts.

If I sent you to school with that atrocity,

I'd get arrested for child abuse.

That is a nice turkey Swiss with mayo.

Mayo is disgusting.

Mayo is disgusting?

Naomi?

I think it's just ahead of its time.

- Don't encourage her. -

Finish getting ready before I swap out your chips for kale.

Sorry, I think we were talking about a certain ghosting soccer player.

Shouldn't even be thinking about Nathan.

I need to figure out what this is.

How are you going to do that?

I'm assuming that "Alien mystery cube" isn't a top Google search.

I need to talk to someone who isn't from this earth.
