Naomi

Last time onNaomi...

Every good UFO investigator has gear.

He thinks aliens are real.

A few weeks ago, I was living a normal life.

You are a lot of things, babe, but normal is not one of them.

Change happens. And now, I'm a high-school dropout.

-What are you doing here? -You don't even go to school.

I found out I have powers.

Why do I have to learn how to fight?

It is easy for powers to become a crutch.

All this time, I thought you were my enemy.

I made your parents a promise I would keep you safe.

You're gonna save our world.

Your mental game is key.

There will always be obstacles,

but don't let them shake your confidence.

Think of obstacles as opportunities to refine your skill.

I got this.

I'm ready.

Don't worry. The water trap comes for us all.

She's right. It took me months to master this course.

Wait until you get to the windmill.

Looks like we'll just have to practice together more often.

I guess I'd be okay with that.

- -

Nice!

Wind is minimal. You have a clear shot.

Yes!

Do you ever win?

-Definitely not. -Okay.

[man speaking indistinctly over PA system]

- -

I needed to exchange the grip on my club.

This one's all wrong.

You okay, babe?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What's all this?

Happy anniversary.

You recreated our favorite meal

from our honeymoon in France.

Croissants, quiche, lattes.

This was very thoughtful.

Wait until you see what I have planned for the party.

Actually, we're, um,

thinking of cancelling.

What?

You've been planning this party for months.

It's just not a good time.

It's your 20th anniversary.

Naomi, all we care about is that we're healthy and happy.

That... That you're healthy and happy.

Is this because of me?

- No. No. - Dad.

I can always tell when you're lying

because you do that... You do that thing

where you scrunch up your forehead.

With all that's been going on,

it's better to be extra careful.

I'm fine.

You can't cancel this party because of me.

Please.

I'm making a slideshow.

Okay, party is still on. But we are keeping it small.

Deal.

I'll see you after school.

It's the best thing for us to do.

She loves Port Oswego.

Are we really gonna uproot her again?

She's not safe here.

We have to at least consider it.

- -

Good afternoon, Ducks.

Your Community Service Week assignments

will be given out shortly.

Am I having a nightmare?

That is literally the only acceptable scenario

-in which you moving is okay. -

Nothing is for sure yet.

I can't believe Greg and Jen would betray me.

I made them friendship bracelets.

Pitch legal emancipation.

My cousin's a lawyer, and I'm pretty sure

that we can pay her in babysitting.

I'm not divorcing my parents.

Moving may not be the worst idea.

Okay, now I know I'm having a nightmare.

You want to leave Port Oswego?

No. I love it here.

It's just, like...

Maybe it's the only way to make sure

no one around me gets hurt.

If you move, I would be very hurt.

I'm talking actual physical harm.

Things are getting dangerous.

First, that thing with the bounty hunter,

and then everything that happened with Dr. Bell--

B-T-W, still can't believe we're friends with Zumbado.

And now there's this Brutus person.

Zumbado said he'll come after me.

I've seen your powers.

You can take down a space warlord.

I'm not sure I can.

And if I am a target,

that means everyone around me is, too.

You can't move.

I'm not sure I have a choice.

A strike is the most useful move.

That is the key.

I did it.

-Yes, you did. - What's next?

Shadow boxing?

Something wrong?

Just wondering, what are you expecting her to do with that?

Mastering a weapon is about discipline.

Hmm.

By developing feel and trust in your instincts.

I've seen Dee use these.

They seem pretty lethal.

Maybe.

If you're fighting humans.

They won't help you against Brutus, Naomi.

Dee's a good teacher.

I'm sure he is.

But the only way that you'll get better

at controlling your powers is by using them.

Didn't you say using my powers are a magnet?

She's right.

The more she uses her powers,

the more she risks drawing the attention of her enemies.

We're beyond that now.

Enemies are likely already on their way.

And they won't be stopped by using a... A staff.

-Our training is working. -It's not enough.

I'm not changing my approach.

Then perhaps it's time for her to find a new teacher.

I appreciate you both looking out for me.

Both of you. Really.

But Dee's right.

Our training has been working.

And using my powers will just put us all in danger.

We're in danger either way, Naomi.

You know that.

Where are Greg and Jen on their anniversary tour?

Tonight, they're recreating date number five.

They call it, "The three Bs."

Burgers, budinos and bowling.

Tomorrow is their overnight trip.

They are truly adorable.

It is so hard to stay mad at them.

I hear something.

Maybe it's just the wind?

Stay here.

Alone?

No way!

Someone was in here.

Why didn't they take anything?

Like your expensive laptop.

Maybe they weren't here for that.

Someone stole the disc.

When Miss Anderson said we were gonna be getting

up close and personal with the dogs,

I was picturing something very different.

What did Greg and Jen say about the stolen disc?

I didn't tell them.

Probably for the best. I mean, we don't want to accelerate

project "Ruin Annabelle's Life By Moving Naomi Out of Port Oswego."

What did Dee and Zumbado say?

I didn't tell them either.

They can't even agree on my training.

If they found out an alien stole my disc,

they'd never let me leave my house.

An alien?

Maybe it was just your regular run-of-the-mill burglar.

Who only stole the disc?

I just have to handle this on my own.

You mean "we" have to handle this on "our" own?

Babe, if we're hunting aliens, you're gonna need my help.

Alien hunting? I'm so in.

Jacob, hi! We were--

Talking about the explosion at STAR Labs.

Right?

I didn't say anything, I promise.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

I've been a loyal subscriber for years.

I know some people think it's a little fringe--

Wait, what are you talking about?

Um, Otherworlds Weekly.

There was a post there today theorizing

that there were aliens at STAR Labs.

Isn't that what you guys were talking about?

-Yes. -Yeah.

Right, that's what we were talking about, hon.

What are you doing here?

I'm picking up Groucho Barx.

He has a standing monthly appointment.

Oh, what did the post say about STAR Labs?
