Finally, the kids use their abilities together, and boy, did they kick ass!
Following the end of last episode with the abduction of Alex, this episode quickly reveals the identity of his kidnappers –his father’s old pal, Darius and his crew. Darius tells Alex about his father's criminal past and how he reneged on a deal between them, and using Alex's phone, informs Geoffery that his son will be killed if he doesn'tpay up in full. Furious, Geoffrey calls together a crew of his own and sets out to meet them. A shootout ensues. Alex, using his gun, shoots Andre, a kid like him to save his dad, but ends up being reabducted by Darius.
Meanwhile, Nico, Karoline, Gert and Molly are frantic. They don't know who has taken Alex but, now fully sure of their parent's guilt, suspect their involvement. Nico uses her mother's staff and divines the way the car that too Alex went and they hastily follow in Karoline's car. When they arrive, Darius is driving off again with Alex. They follow at a short distance until the car stops at a red light, then disembark to rescue him. Nico tries her staff again but can't get it to work before the light turns green, so Molly rushes forward and lifts the SUV off its rear tires so it can't move, forcing Darius and his crew to come out with Alex. He attempts to shoot at her but Karoline, absndoning all restraint, takes off her bracelet and dazzles him with her lights. And then Chase joins them with his finished fistigons and blasts the crew away.
The kids are estatic to find out about the other's abilities and at using them to save the day, and together, they try to save the boy Alex shot from the Pride. However, the Pride doesn't use the hidden library in Alex's house but the private room in the Church of Gibborim, and this time, the sacrifice is successful, raising the mysterious man lying on the bed to full strength and making him completely fleshed.
On the emotional side, the show is proving even more complicated than initially expected.
At the end of the episode, both Nico and Chase get close to their parents. Chase and his dad, Victor actually work together to perfect his fistigons and Nico's mother, the cold Tina, gives the magic staff willingly to Nico for her to become more acquainted with what it can do. Then Victor's just completed device for viewing the future shows the collapsing of the entire city of Los Angeles into the ocean, and the mysterious man askd to meet someone, who we assume to be Karoline...
What do these mean? Will the Pride be responsible for the sinking of Los Angeles, and do they know this is where their actions will lead?
