Full Recap

Stephanie slows down and finds herself on the street near her home as the military and police order everyone to go their homes and stay off the streets. She runs to a FBI detective and asks what's going on, but no one seems to notice her. Stephanie goes inside and watches as Jim, Daphne, and JJ try to escape out of the house. They can't see or hear her either, and Jim tells the children that Stephanie is waiting for them at Katie's. As Stephanie tries to get through to her husband, she's suddenly pulled back and finds herself outside on a now-quiet street.

Stephanie goes into the house and finds everything back to normal. Jim asks what happened, and notes that she should take it easy since she was recently injected with trilsettum. He leaves for Detective Frank Cordero's farewell party and meets George there. Jim admits that he's worried about Stephanie. Cordero thanks them for coming and expresses his appreciation for Jim's vigilante activities.

Daphne tells JJ what she read from Litchfield's mind, about how someone would hurt him if JJ didn't solve the equations. Stephanie overhears them and asks what is going on, and tells her son not to do any more work for Litchfield until she talks to the teacher. Daphne notices that her mother is distracted but Stephanie insists that everything is fine.

Jim, George, and Cordero leave the bar and Cordero thanks them one last time before he goes to his car. However, as he gets in his car, several gang members drive by and shoot him. Jim and George run over and call an ambulance.

The next morning, George tells Jim that Cordero is dead, and that they've found the shooters' car. The investigating detectives, O'Bannon and Rizzo, come over and ask if they have any theories. After the detectives leaves, Cordero's wife Marta comes over and admits that her husband was worried about a case that he was working.

At school, Chris approaches Daphne and asks her to mind-push his boss into giving him a raise. When she objects, Chris insists that he's a bad guy and there's no harm, and she reluctantly agrees.

At her lab, Stephanie checks Katie's blood and confirms that there's no trilsettum. She recommends that Katie see Dr. Klein, her ob-gyn, and assures Katie that the baby will be fine. Stephanie than superspeeds to the high school to meet Litchfield, but finds herself in the future again. George runs by her without seeing her, goes to a classroom, and gets Daphne and JJ out. He tells them that the authorities have already checked the school and won't come back again, and assures them that their parents can take care of themselves. The police arrive outside and George lies, claiming that he's an FBI agent and that he checked the area and it's clear. JJ bumps a bottle and the FBI agents start to go in, and George delays the agents while Daphne and JJ escape. Stephanie sees a wall calendar with the date March 31 on it, and then is pulled back and finds herself back in the lab on March 29. She explains to Katie that she's run into the future.

Victoria Morrow wakes up in a bed at the secret GlobalTech facility. Mrs. X explains that Joshua brought her there and asked her to bring Victoria back. She then asks Victoria to help her with a special project: watching Katie and finding out what she knows. When Victoria balks, Mrs. X says that if she doesn't help, she can easily take away her life.

At the lab, Katie wonders if Stephanie were hallucinating, and Stephanie confirms that it's happened before. She wonders why they're being hunted, and admits that she hasn't told Jim about what she's seen. As Stephanie gets up, she feels weak and Katie insists that they need to check on her, warning that time travel always has consequences.

At the lair, Jim insists on taking care of Cordero's killers himself. He finds a file on a ganger, Rizzo, and George's friend Tyler Carr was the ADA. They go to talk to Carr, who says that Cordero called and said that he had evidence to submit directly to him rather than to the court. However, Carr doesn't know what it is.

Daphne goes to see Chris' boss. Once she's done talking to him, she tries to tell Chris that her power wouldn't work. He realizes that she's lying and insists that he needs the money, and walks away in disgust.

Stephanie comes to see Katie, who says she's made an appointment with Dr. Klein. She then shows Stephanie the test results, which indicate that her chromosomes are showing damage. The more she uses her new power, the closer her body will come to overload. Stephanie refuses to back off, and immediately superspeeds to the precinct house. When she arrives there in the future, she finds soldiers everywhere. Jim, Daphne, and JJ have all been sedated and FBI Agent Norris is interrogating the future Stephanie. He warns her that human rights only apply to human beings, and tells her that they'll eventually find out everything about her and determine if she's worth more to them dead or alive.

At the hospital, Katie arrives to see Dr. Klein and his nurse assures her that he'll be there any second. In the parking garage, Klein arrives and Victoria knocks him out, and then takes on his shape.

Stephanie tells her family what she's seen in the future, and Jim worries about the potential harm to her body. They wonder how the military find out about them, and Stephanie notes that one of them might have given away their secret. She asks JJ about Litchfield, and JJ insists his teacher doesn't know about his powers. He hints that Chris knows, and Jim finds out what happened from Daphne. Stephanie tells her to find Chris and discover if he's told anyone. George calls Jim over to the Cordero house, where two men broke in and knocked Marta down after searching the place. She says that they didn't find anything, and shows Jim and George a hidden safe. George gets Marta out of the way so Jim can break it open. As she takes a call, Jim and George go over the files and confirm that Cordero was preparing to deliver a dirty cop to the DA.

Stephanie prepares to leave for the future again, explaining to JJ that she's going to the future to see what King is doing. When she arrives, she finds Agent Norris interrogating Katie. When she refuses to talk, he threatens to arrest her for obstruction of justice and tries to leave. The agent arrests her and Stephanie collapses in pain. Stephanie hears a newscast about the authorities seeking them out for an incident at City Square at 5:07 p.m., and is pulled back to the present; the day the incident happens.

Stephanie tries to call Jim but can't reach him. She considers altering the present to prevent the incident at City Square, and has JJ work out the calculations to get her there at precisely the right time to find out what happens so she can change it

At the precinct house, George and Jim figure that the gang bangers were paying for police protection, and took out Cordero when he threatened to bring in the people they were paying. George leaves to prepare a speech for Cordero's memorial that afternoon, and O'Bannon calls Jim off in private to explain that Cordero said Jim was someone he could trust. Jim assures him he can trust him with anything, and O'Bannon explains that his partner Rizzo is dirty. He asks Jim to meet him later at a parking structure so he can show him the evidence.

Victoria, disguised as Dr. Klein, checks on Katie. She asks about the baby's father and Katie explains that the Watcher isn't with her. The ultrasound shows nothing unusual, and Victoria/Klein prepares to take what she claims is a sample of amniotic fluid.

As Jim goes out to the parking garage, the gang bangers drive by and open fire. As they leave, Jim realizes that O'Bannon set him up.

JJ finishes the calculations and tells Stephanie how to get to City Square at 5:07 p.m. so she can see what happens. As she prepares to leave, JJ warns that it's dangerous but she insists on going. Once she goes, Daphne gets a call from Chris who says that he'll meet up with her at City Square. He says that his last tow is at City Square that afternoon.

Stephanie arrives at 5:07 p.m. and sees George giving the memorial speech for Cordero. Daphne is meeting with Chris, and Jim is in the crowd looking for a sniper who is targeting George. He spots the killer in a nearby SUV and throws it across the street, as a cameraman gets the entire thing on video. Stephanie is then pulled back to the present, clearly weakened by her trip through time, and explains to JJ that they have to stop Jim from saving George's life.

Jim returns home and Stephanie tells him what she saw happens in fifteen minutes. He tries to call George, who doesn't answer, and prepares to go. Stephanie warns him that he can't let anyone sees his powers, but Jim insists he can't let George die.

At City Square, Daphne talks to Chris, who assures her that he would never reveal her secret. As they hug, Jim arrives and searches for the sniper. He spots the killer, Rizzo, in a nearby SUV, opens the door, and punches him unconscious. O'Bannon moves in on George to finish the job and Jim tries to spot him in the crowd. He calls Daphne and tells her to telepathically scan for O'Bannon.

O'Bannon attaches a silencer to his gun and closes in on George. Daphne manages to pick up his thoughts as he plans to shoot George as he walks by him. She directs her father to O'Bannon, but he can't get there in time without revealing his powers. Realizing that, Daphne walks up to O'Bannon and pushes him into giving her the gun. O'Bannon hands over the gun and walks away.

That night, Stephanie and Jim confront Daphne and want to know what her new powers are. She reluctantly admits that she can "push" people, and that she didn't tell them because it was handy around the house. Stephanie focuses on the fact that their family is safe, and that she should use her powers to make Chris forget, just like the Watcher did with Daphne. Daphne doesn't want to do, insisting that she can trust Chris, but her parents insist that it's only one detail.

At school the next day, Chris finds Daphne and apologizes for asking her to use her powers on his boss. He assures her that it will never happen again, but Daphne admits that she told him too much. She has him remember the first time that he knew she had powers, and then uses her powers to make him forget that or anything since. Daphne then starts to kiss him, but he pushes her away and says that she's the freak from the student council. She realizes that he doesn't remember anything that's happened between them. JJ comes over to tell her that Litchfield has disappeared, and Daphne tells him what happened.

Victoria reports to Mrs. X that Katie is pregnant and shows her the report showing that the trilsettum has integrated itself into Katie's DNA. Mrs. X tells Victoria to steal the baby and raise it herself, and to eliminate Katie once she's delivered the baby.

Full Recap

A woman is jogging through the woods, unaware that something is stalking her. It finally leaps out and attacks her, dragging her into the woods. Two men hear her scream and go to investigate, and find her dead.

George shows Jim photos of the dead woman, noting it has five claws instead of four and didn't leave any tracks. Jim asks George to check with the coroner, suspecting that a super is responsible. At home, he suggests to Stephanie that she try to use her access to the project to find out who else that Dr. King has experimented with.

At school, Daphne mentions to Chris that Sara Bareilles is in town filming a video. He figures that she wants to ditch and suggests she use her mind control to do so, but Daphne insists that she doesn't want to overuse that power on others. She also says that she has a history paper to write. Chris gets her to reluctantly agree to ditch with him if she finishes the history paper.

In decathlon practice, J.J. receives different equations than his teammates. When he questions Litchfield about the discrepancy and how the equations are tougher than anything they'd face in competition, Litchfield just tells him to do the work.

Stephanie goes to see King and asks to see the database of patients so she can see what side effects occurred when they received treatment. She brings up the jogger's death, but King insists that they haven't had anyone with that ability.

Lucas Winnick is on the street, using his newly-gained claws to scratch cars. Mrs. X pulls up in his limo and he gets in, and she asks if he's an idiot. She warns him that he screwed up by leaving the body, and that an autopsy may compromise his identity. Winnick says that he had no choice to leave it because the hikers were coming, and Mrs. X tells him to retrieve the body.

At the morgue, the coroner calls George and says there's something he has to see. When George and Jim arrive, they find the coroner dead, clawed to pieces, and the jogger's corpse gone. Back at the lair, Jim figures that someone took the body and killed the coroner to cover their tracks. Stephanie goes over the coroner report and confirms that the corpse contained chemicals similar to those in the Powells' blood. A report of an animal attack comes in on the radio and Stephanie and Jim go to investigate.

Chris approaches JJ and asks him to write Daphne's history report so she can cut school and go to the Sara Bareilles video. When JJ balks, Chris threatens to reveal his superpowers to the public. JJ goes to confront Daphne, realizing that she told Chris the family secret. Daphne says that she doesn't want to lose someone who knows what she can do and cares about her. JJ agrees, but asks her to read Litchfield's mind and find out why the decathlon is so important to him.

Jim goes to the house where the animal attack occurred, and the officer reveals that the body disappeared. The victim was a drug addict and the walls are covered in blood and claw marks. Outside, Jim tells Stephanie what he saw and she invisibly superspeeds inside to take the syringe and confirm that the addict was taking trilsettum.

Daphne and Chris try to sneak out, but Vice Principal Nance spots them and asks what they're up to. Daphne panics, but Chris tells her she can do whatever she needs to. When he orders them to his office, she uses her ability to convince him to excuse them from class and give them some money for gas.

At the lair, Jim, Stephanie, and George go over the information and try to figure why someone is targeting villainous supers. George figures that they're better off dead, and doesn't see the point of putting their lives at risk to stop the killer. Stephanie insists that none of the transformed patients deserve to die, and George gives in. They try to figure out where the animal killer is heading next.

Katie arrives home and finds Winnick waiting for her. He asks where the Watcher is, and Katie says that he isn't staying with her anymore because they broke up. Winnick accepts her claim and starts to leave, but then smells something from Katie. He realizes that it's her and reveals his fangs and claws. As she insists that she's not a super, someone telekinetically throws Winnick into a car.

Later, Katie calls over Stephanie and Jim and insists that the Watcher must be nearby. She panics and telekinetically hurtles something, and they realize that Katie's attacker knew she had superpowers. Jim and Stephanie realize that the killer is going after supers and will target JJ and Daphne. As they leave, Winnick watches them and calls Mrs. X to say that the Powells have superpowers and they're not on her list of supers. She tells him to kill them all.

Litchfield calls King to tell him that JJ won't do the work. King isn't impressed, and tells him to deal with the situation. The bell rings and Litchfield confronts JJ, and tells him that he needs to finish the equations. JJ tries to leave, and Stephanie arrives to take JJ out of school on a "family emergency." Outside, Stephanie asks where Daphne is, and JJ claims that he doesn't know. However, he does admit that he knows Daphne is with Chris and they ditched.

Chris and Daphne arrive at the video shoot, and he convinces Daphne to use her powers to get past the security guard.

Katie works with Jim to make a sketch of her attacker. George is less than thrilled that the other sidekick got superpowers. Once they have a sketch, Jim brings up the police records and Katie spots Winnick. The records say that he's on death row. Stephanie and JJ arrive, and Stephanie confirms that Winnick was the patient that she injected. Jim heads out for Winnick's last known address, while Stephanie goes to the house to find Daphne.

At the Powell home, Winnick goes through Daphne's room and spots the advertisement for the Sara Bareilles videos shoot. He gets Daphne's scent from her clothes and then hears Stephanie as she comes home. Winnick confronts her and assures her that he has Daphne's scent. He assures Stephanie that he's happy she transformed him, and she asks him to spare his family. She superspeeds ahead of him and tells him not to waste his second chance. Winnick wonders if she would do that for him and he retracts his claws as Stephanie says that she understands what he's going through. As she approaches him, he guts her and says her concern means nothing to him, and then leaves to kill Daphne.

At the lair, Katie tries to consciously use her powers without success. Jim returns and reports his lack of success. When he realizes that Stephanie hasn't returned, he goes home and finds the injured Stephanie. She assures him that she's a fast healer and tells him not to call 911. Stephanie blames herself for creating Winnick and cries out for Daphne.

At the video shoot, Daphne thanks Chris for bringing him, unaware that Winnick is in the crowd trying to pick up her scent.

Jim takes Stephanie to the lair, and she tells him to find Daphne. He asks JJ to hack Daphne's emails and he reluctantly does so, finding a text message from Chris.

At the shoot, Daphne gets a text message from Jim and finds somewhere away from the music to call him back. Winnick approaches her and says that the school sent him to tell her the bad news that her mother has been attacked and taken to the hospital. He says that there's no time for her to tell Chris, and she reluctantly goes along with him. As they go, Winnick explains that Stephanie was attacked at her home, and transforms into his animal form. Jim leaps in and knocks Winnick away, and tells Daphne to get away. Winnick comes after him but is unable to penetrate his skin. The two of them leap into the air and Jim tackles Winnick and knocks him back. The two of them smash down onto the ground and Jim finally gets the upper hand. As he beats Winnick, Daphne arrives to stop him before he kills Winnick

Back at the lair, Stephanie's condition worsens and Katie explains that she's contracted an infection. JJ analyzes her room and concerns that she has staph bacteria. He and Katie come up with a possible cure, but Jim says there's only one doctor they can take her to.

Jim brings Stephanie to King and explains that Winnick attacked him, and tells King that it's time for the games to end so they can save Stephanie's life. King agrees to help and starts treating her, but warns that the infection is too widespread. Jim suggests that he administer trilsettum, no matter what the risk. King agrees and starts to give Stephanie an injection, but Jim insists on doing it for his wife. When nothing happens, Jim wants to give Stephanie another shot but King advises him to wait. Stephanie recovers consciousness briefly and Jim tells her to rest.

At school, Daphne comes to drop off the equations that JJ completed. When Litchfield reads them, she reads his mind and hears him thinking that "he" would kill him if he didn't get the equations. Daphne quickly leaves and calls to leave a message for JJ that they need to talk. Chris catches up to her and asks about Stephanie, and then says he had a lot of fun with her. Daphne suggests that they take a break from using her powers, but Chris says he has a wish list of things they can do using her powers.

King receives the email from Litchfield with the equations and smiles in triumphant. Mrs. X, the CEO of GlobalTech, comes in and demands to know why the supers are running free. He apologizes, but Mrs. X says that it's her fault for letting him working without oversight. From now on she plans to oversee everything he does, and asks if there are any more surprises. King tells her that he's close to solving the equation for power permanence, and shows her JJ's work.

Daphne comes to the lab to get Stephanie's files. Katie is there and explains that she has powers because the Watcher impregnated her.

Jim arrives home and Stephanie greets him. She's ready to go for a run, and insists that she's fine. Jim worries that there could be side effects, but Stephanie insists on going. She goes outside and runs, but finds herself starting to dissolve into light.
