The Nine Lives of Chloe King

Previously on "The Nine Lives of Chloe King"...

I found this.

What's it doing in your dad's storage unit?

My father always told me that my grandmother died when I was four.

Are you really going out to that address in Mill Valley?

Zane. We're supposed to be going out tonight.

Once we kill those protecting the Uniter,

the girl won't stand a chance.

You're safe.

How come I don't feel that way?

You know that book you and your dad made?

You two were always so happy.

When were you gonna tell me your father's alive?

- Oh ho my God. - These are so cute.

- Adorable. - Aw.

What is it about photo booths that brings out crazy face?

No, they're not all crazy.

I love it when a plan comes together.

What plan?

This-- us.

Me and Paul and you and Alek.

Life is going to be so much easier now that we're both a couple.

Because, yeah, that's what was making my life so difficult.

And Alek and I are not a couple.

Look me in the eyes and tell me you're not on a date.

Funnel cakes and Ferris Wheels do not a relationship make.

Okay, yes, I like him.

There, I said it out loud in public,

but I don't know where it's going, I don't know what it means

and I don't completely understand it, so can you please

- just be happy with that for now? - Couple.

- For you. - Aw.

Apparently I broke some sort of record or something.

- He's adorable. - Resemble anyone you know?

Hmm, there is a certain arrogant gleam

in his eyes that seems familiar.

And, uh, I won this for you.

Aww!

Maybe if you kiss it, it will turn into a prince.

I already have a prince.

Just one who is very bad at ring toss.

Wait until I unleash the monster on the milk bottles.

- Seriously? - I'll have you know I'm a master.

Please, you'll be lucky to knock even one off.

Think you can do better?

Boys-- it's like watching a slightly sad Nature special.

Hey, cute. Let me see.

Oh, there's a hard-core cage match about to begin if you're interested.

I believe it involves milk bottles.

No, I think I'm good right where I am.

And that would sound slightly more romantic

if I didn't have to take this. Sorry.

Well done, Miss Jasmine.

Thanks. He's sweet and sort of mysterious, which I kind of like.

I'm not cheating. It's natural talent.

You're using your Mai powers.

Yeah, which is 100% natural for me.

Don't feel too bad. I'm pretty much unbeatable.

Oh, if only that were true.

- Really? - Oh, I'm afraid so.

- Ready? - At the same time.

- It won't be much longer. - One, two, three-- go.

I'm waiting for Valentina to return.

Just be ready to act when she does.

Don't worry. Soon they'll all be dead.

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, whoo!

Hey, give me that.

- Hey. - Hey right back.

- You up for a little road trip today? - Intrigued.

- Still listening. - I thought I might finally

drive up to Marin, check out that address.

What are you gonna do, just run up and knock on the door?

Don't mock. It took me hours to come up with that plan.

- Still wanna go? - You know this could be dangerous, right?

That's why I want you to come along-- to protect me.

You laugh but, I pack quite a punch.

Pick you up in an hour?

Um, sure.

I'll meet you out front.

I've gotta go get dressed.

We're gonna take up the coast.

Weren't you out on a date with Alek last night?

Ah! You couldn't let that go, could you?

- 'Fraid not. - Let's see,

involved, loving mother;

nosy, slightly annoying parent--

Fine, navigate your personal life

without my expert advice.

Much appreciated.

Oh, remember I'm out tonight, so you're on your own.

Already missing you.

We've had practically a 24-hour watch on Chloe

since Jasmine found the camera.

But no sign of whoever took the photos?

No. You think it's the order?

Possibly, but there are others

who might want to harm the Uniter.

Next time you say "To the bridge and back,"

remind me to ask which bridge that is.

Mom, you're home.

Where I expected to find you.

Hi, I'm Zane. A pleasure to finally meet you.

I came by earlier to pay my respects, but--

but ended up going out with my daughter instead.

Welcome to San Francisco.

I should go.

Where is Chloe now?

She should still be at home.

She's supposed to call if she goes anywhere.

I texted her a couple of times this morning, but I haven't heard back.

I left you in charge.

It's your job to know where she is at all times.

Find her. Now.

Missed you too.

Be happy. I think she really liked him.

- Good news? - Very.

By tonight, the Uniter's entire support system will be eliminated.

I can't afford any mistakes.

Don't worry. There's no one more deadly

than an assassin with a grudge.

Oh, sorry.

I didn't know you were busy.

He's all yours. I was just leaving.

- Keep me posted. - Of course.

I'm actually heading out too.

Well, whatever it is,

I'd like you to cancel.

I was hoping we could spend the day together.

I'm sorry. I already have plans.

But I'll let you know when I get back.

I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about.

Oh, come on. Boston?

Zeppelin? The Doors?

Sorry. Your lips are moving, sound's coming out

and yet I have no idea what you're saying.

That settles it.

I've gotta educate you on the finer points of classic rock.

How? By singing at the top of your lungs the whole rest of the drive?

Okay, what I lack in pitch I make up for in passion.

So am I being a fool?

I mean, thinking that my grandmother might actually be alive?

That I might finally get some answers?

We won't know until we get there.

What if I don't like the answers?

Whatever happens, you'll be fine.

Trust me.

You may be the one person in my life I totally trust.

I'm glad you came with me.

Me too.

I want one just like that.

- That looks good. - Thank you, I know.

- I think it'd be really nice-- - yeah.

- Where's Chloe? - Morning, Amy.

Hey, Paul. Hope I'm not interrupting.

I left her messages, but she hasn't answered. No one's heard from her.

I asked her to meet us. Said she had some errands to run.

Why, what's wrong? Is it that creepy photo guy?

Is he back? Did he bring some nunchuk-wielding friends?

Just tell her to call me the moment you hear from her.

It's important.

Nobody's home, or at least nobody's answering.

I really wish I could see what's back there.

We came all this way. Let's take a look around.

This has "bad idea" written all over it.

Relax, I took gymnastics until I was, like, 12.

All right, come on, on three.

Ready? One, two, three.

- Are you okay? - All good.

I'm just gonna run up and see if there's anyone's there.

So, what, you're just gonna walk up and knock on the door?

Well, somebody once told me that was a great plan.

But don't worry, I'll be fine. Two seconds.

Chloe!

Samson! Enough!

Sorry to frighten you.

Seems you're unclear as to the point of the gate.

It's there to keep intruders out.

- What do you want? - Grandma?

It's me-- Brian.

I can't believe it's really you.

I just wish I had known you were so close.

Oh, I've dreamed of this moment for years.

- I never imagined-- - Oh my God. Dad.

This place is beautiful, grandma.

So you must be 19 now.

You know, the last time you were on this patio

I was holding you on my knee.

I can't believe I grew up thinking you were dead.

Well, I'll never forget that day.

Your father looked me in the eye

and told me calmly that he never wanted to see me again.

How could he do that?

I don't pretend to understand him

or his motivations,

but he was good to his word and we haven't spoken since.

- You talked to mom? - She took pity on me,

sent me the occasional update.

- Do you still play the piano? - No, I haven't in years.

That's a shame.
