01x01 - Thundercover

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

[Phoebe]Okay, Thundermans,

I hereby call this meeting to order.

-First item-- -[Chloe] Wait.

We forgot to make the popcorn.

-She's right. -[whooshes]

[popping]

-Great. First item-- -Wait, hang on.

You can't have popcorn without drinks.

Drinks flying in.

Can I have mine ice cold?

[crackles]

We good? All right.

First item. I am happy to report

that Bradford, Cherry, Mrs. Wong, and the others

have had their superpowers removed.

I am unhappy to report

that Mrs. Wong now hates us even more.

Next item, Billy and Nora are on a mission

fighting Dr. Plutonium.

We're awaiting a status report.

[Billy] It's going well!

-[whooshes] -Thanks, Billy!

Okay. Last item. We are getting reports

of a downed electrical tower in Hiddenville city limits.

Ready to light it up, Hank?

Always, Barb.

Thunder Man, away!

[rumbles]

Hey, he took our popcorn.

-[alarm beeping] -[Thunder monitor]Alert! Alert!

Two stylish pre-teens approaching.

Oh, my friends are here!

[doorbell rings]

-[shrieks] -Chlo-ay! Hi!

Guys, this is Tiff and Blair.

Aw, you guys must be the new friends

Chloe's been talking about.

Uh-huh. We love Chlo-ay.

We love Chlo-ay so much.

Why are they calling you "Chlo-ay"?

It's for my brand.

Tiff and Blair say that famous superheroes

should have their own merch.

Check out our new product line.

It's so brill.

For the youngs, Chlo-ay scrunch-ay.

And for the olds, Chlo-ay home securit-ay.

[Chloe on recording] I'm bringing the thunder, baby.

Wow. Sounds like someone's really embracing her fame.

Tiff and Blair say that being famous

is my best superpower.

Aw, Chlo-ay.

I think I'm gonna be sick-ay.

Me too-ay.

Sis, can we talk to you in the kitchen for a sec?

Sure. Be right there.

Chloe thinks those girls are her real friends

but they clearly only like her 'cause she's a famous supe.

I know. Classic popular kids.

As a former popular kid, I'll handle this one.

What's up?

Chloe... how do I put this gently?

Your friends suck.

He's totally kidding.

Tiff and Blair seem awesome.

Thanks. So, we're good?

Well, uh, it's just...

they seem to really like your fame and powers.

Maybe too much?

Wait. Are you guys judging my friends?

Max's best friend is a supervillain

that Dad turned into a rabbit.

Hey! Colosso and I have a lot in common.

You poop in a cage?

Don't knock it till you try it.

We just wanna make sure your friends like you

for the right reasons.

I think I'm good.

But thanks for the friendship lessons.

[whooshing]

By the way,

-that was sarcasm. -Yeah, we got it.

I swear, sometimes Max and Phoebe treat me

like I'm twelve years old.

I'm twelve and a half.

It's good to vent.

Let's do it in Paris.

Poor Chloe. She has no idea

those girls are taking advantage of her.

I know.

And why does she care who poops in the cage?

[Thunder monitor]Alert! Alert!

Incoming call from President Kickbutt.

Thunder Twins,

we've detected some evil transmissions

in the town of Secret Shores.

I need you to pose as civilians

and find out who's behind them.

Ooh. Sounds like we're going "Thundercover."

Yeah, I'm out.

You'll be staying in the Hero League's

secret beach condo.

I'm back in.

But how do we pose as civilians?

We're famous superheroes.

Not in Secret Shores.

Plus, we've wiped your Internet presence

and replaced it with adorable hedgehog videos.

Oh, no, no, no. My fans will never stand for this--

[squeaking]

Aw, look at this little guy!

I'll send over the mission details.

Kickbutt out!

What are we gonna do about our other mission?

Get in shape for the beach?

Done and done!

No, I mean, helping Chloe with her fake friends.

I mean, if everyone knew we were supes when we were her age,

we'd have never made normal friends.

That's why we turned out okay.

I love you both the same.

That's why I turned out okay.

Wait. Max...

what if we tell Chloe we need her on the mission?

We'll say her assignment is to go undercover at the school

and she'll find out what it's like to have real friends

-who don't know she's famous. -Or...

we tell Chloe we need her on the mission.

She makes new friends who don't know she's famous.

Heard we're going on vacation!

-Hey, where'd they go? -[alarm beeping]

[Thunder monitor]Alert! Alert!

Incoming call from unknown caller.

[man]Hello, Colosso.

Hey, you're the guy who called me a few months ago.

Why'd you ghost me?

I thought we were gonna make beautiful evil together.

[man]More evil than you ever imagined.

[foreboding music playing]

[Chloe]I come from a family of superheroes.

But now, my brother and sister and I

are heading to a brand-new town.

[Phoebe]We're going undercover.

[Max]To try and solve our most important mission yet.

* A picture-perfect family is what we try to be *

* Look closer, you might see the crazy things we do *

* This isn't make-believe it's our reality *

* Just your average family *

* Trying to be normal and stay out of trouble *

* Livin' a double life *

[lively music playing]

What?

[Max] Ha-ha!

This place is sick.

Thanks for bringing me on this mission, guys.

The three of us are gonna make a great team.

[groans, coughs]

You mean the four of us!

Colosso, do you ever listen to me?

Eh, why start now?

-Oh. Look, we have a portrait. -[Phoebe] Ah.

I see I'm not in it,

but whatever, it's cool.

Greetings, Thundermans.

Whoa.

I am Thunderford.

Your virtual assistant.

I've been tasked with aiding you

in any way on this mission.

Can you get me a soda? I'm parched.

Get it yourself. What do I look like, your mommy?

[chuckles] I like him.

This beach house is amazing.

The only thing missing is a slide.

Are you sure about that?

Twist that starfish on the wall.

[whooshes]

[chuckles]

This anti-gravity slide

will take you up to your new command center.

Anti-gravity slide? That's impossible.

Really? Look closer.

[yelps]

Well played.

It felt right.

[Phoebe] Whoo!

Whoa!

[screams]

That was awesome.

So is this room.

I'm calling it the Air Lair.

So, how are you liking the command center?

[coughs] Air Lair.

It comes equipped with state-of-the-art gadgetry,

a super snack station,

and party mode.

[upbeat music playing]

I'm gonna like this Air Lair.

All right, guys. Let's make a plan.

Those transmissions are coming from somewhere in town,

-so Max and I will investigate. -And what do you want me to do?

You're gonna be undercover as a student at school.

Just hang out and make friends

like a normal, not famous non-supe girl.

How does that help with the mission?

Uh...

let's go see if this place has a hot tub!

I can't get hurt sliding down, right?

-[Colosso screaming] -Oh! [groans]

I'm wrong!

Maybe we should take the stairs.

Why are you everywhere?

We're a duo, Max!

You can't quit me!

[man]Dr. Colosso.

Ah!

[man]Good job getting yourself to Secret Shores,

like I asked.

Now onto Phase Two.

How about Phase Tell-Me-What's-In-This-For-Me?

[man]I can make you human again.

Human?

I can go for walks without hawks carrying me away?

[man]And all you have to do

is find a key card hidden in that condo

by a superhero who used to live there.

I'm on it! Thanks, creepy guy!

[man]With that key card,

Max and Phoebe Thunderman will be mine!

[upbeat music playing]

Ah, middle school.

High school's annoying little brother.

All right, Chloe. Remember,

your very important mission at this school

is to make friends.

How? Back home, everyone knew I was a supe.

It was easy to make friends.

You don't have to be famous to make friends.

Just join the Robotics Club.

Yeah, Phoebe. We want her to make friends, not robots.

[in robotic voice] Your idea is dumb.

Yeah. How many friends have you helped her make?

[in robotic voice] Calculating...

Zero.

What's up? I'm Chloe. I'm new here.

I'm Kombucha.

Were we turtles together in a past life?

You do look kinda familiar.

Don't mind Booch, she's very spiritual.

I'm Jinx, by the way.

Jinx? Why do they call you that?

Because of his bad luck.

I don't have bad luck. The people near me do.

See? What a klutz.

It's so cool you guys are skateboarders.

My friends back home never wanna skate.

Oh, we're not skateboarders.

We're snakeboarders.

Yeah. We teach injured snakes

that can't slither anymore how to skate.

That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

I'm in.

Look, Max. Chloe's making friends.

All right. Let's go see if we can find out

where those evil transmissions are coming from.

I think I just detected one.

I can't find its source,

but it looks like it was sent to...

our beach house?

What? That's impossible.

The only person at home is...

[suspenseful music playing]

I finally found the key card.

Now take me down to Human Town, pally.

[man laughs]Silly rabbit.

I'm not turning you human.

I lied to you.

What?

This is why they say,

"Don't talk to strangers on the Internet."

Well, you're never getting this key card.

[man]You mean the key card I just took a screenshot of

to -D print a replica?

Bye!

Clearly, I did not think that through.

Colosso, what did you do?

Spill it, furball!

Or the bathing suit gets it!

Not my cashmere one-piece!

It's the only thing that hides my dad bod!

[whimpering] I'll talk!

A creepy villain tricked me

into finding a key card hidden in the house.

Colosso, how could you?

Sorry, Max.

But he offered to make me human again.

Bodies before buddies.

[upbeat music playing]

Snakeboarding was so sick.

Helping injured snakes is so rewarding.

And dangerous.

This snakebite will heal, right?

Guess I should head in. My brother and sister

are probably looking for me.

Must be cool living with them.

Totally. There's no rules.

I ate dinner in the bathtub last night.

You're living the dream.

Right? I'm even thinking about going to see

this new action movie later.

The Quick and the Angry ?

Jinx and I love those movies.

Let's go together!

[gasps]

Oh, no.

Did that hurt?

Yes!

[upbeat music playing]

Phoebe, the superhero High Tide used to live here.

I tried to reach out to him,

but he was eaten by a giant clam.

Happens more than you think.

Oh, I know who can help. Thunderford.

Hello, Phoebe.

Lazypants.

At least I have pants.

I wanted to ask about a key card hidden somewhere in this house.

The key card unlocks a weapons vault

containing the Giga Gauntlet,

a powerful weapon belonging to the evil tech genius Malware.

He waged a crime spree across Secret Shores

until he was defeated by High Tide,

who locked away his gauntlet and hid the key card.

So Malware must be trying to get his gauntlet back.

We better suit up.

[sighs] That is so much better than dealing with zippers.

Okay, let's take Chloe so she can teleport us

to that weapons vault before Malware gets there.

[sighs] We can't.

Chloe's hanging with her new friends.

Making friends was the whole reason

we brought Chloe on this mission.

What?

You only brought me here to make friends?

I thought you guys needed me for the mission.

We can explain.

Look, we were worried that those girls back home

were just using you for your fame and "poof" powers.

We brought you here so you could make real friends

who don't know you're a supe.

And I told you guys,

I don't need help with my friends.

Chloe, you don't understand.

No, you don't understand.

I'm not some mission for you to solve.

That is not what we're doing.

It's kinda what we're doing.

Okay, maybe it's what we're doing.

We were just looking out for you.

Well, don't bother.

I'm going back to Hiddenville.

[sighs] She's really upset.

We have to go home and talk to her.

No, there's no time.

We have to get to that weapons vault before Malware.

[Thunderford] Alert!

Super President Kickbutt calling.

Thundermans.

I've received word that Malware

has escaped from prison

and has stolen back his Giga Gauntlet.

Oh, no. We're too late.

[foreboding music plays, fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

Looks like Thunderford was right

about the location of Malware's lair.

Quiet! We don't want him to know we're here.

[both gasp]

I think he knows.

Welcome to my lair.

Can I get you anything?

Drinks? Muffins?

-Lasers? -[yelps]

I would've picked muffins!

I bankrupted Daddy's tech company

building this gauntlet.

Pretty dope, huh?

There's definitely a dope here.

[gauntlet crackles]

Giga Gauntlet doesn't like that you made fun of me.

-He wants to defend my honor. -[beeps]

[grunting]

Whoa!

[grunting]

Wait, wait, what are we doing? We have freeze breath.

-Phew! -If anyone asks,

I did that.

Looks like his computer is frozen.

If anyone asks, I said that.

[sizzling]

Whew. Well, we could have used Chloe

to teleport Malware to prison

if we didn't butt into her friend life.

[Max] Hey, listen, I'm not the one

who wanted her to sign up for Robotics Club.

Those kids are building the future, Max!

But it doesn't matter. We still have to move Malware...

who's now defrosted.

[thuds]

You saved me, Giga Gauntlet.

[whirs]

No. You're right.

We saved each other.

[sighs]

Do you hear that, Barb?

-I don't hear anything. -Exactly.

All the kids are gone,

we're alone for the first time ever.

You're right.

What do we do?

What don't we do?

Hi, guys.

It's okay, Barb.

For a brief moment, we touched the sun.

Chloe, why aren't you on the mission?

Ask noted friend experts Max and Phoebe.

Ooh. Sounds serious.

I mean, we should probably talk...

Are those eclairs?

[laughing]

Hands off.

These aren't just any eclairs.

They're Chlo-eclairs.

The hottest new product in the Chlo-ay-verse.

Hank, let's leave Chlo-ay alone with her...

slappy friends.

Just let me smell them.

Chlo-ay, we have missed you so much.

-Where are you gonna poof us to? -Uh, guys.

Do you think we can just have a regular friend night?

Maybe we can go check out The Quick and the Angry .

Ew. Why?

How's that gonna make us famous?

Is fame all you guys care about?

[sighs] No, sweetie.

We also care about your poof powers.

Now take us shopping in Dubai.

You know what? Let's go to Dubai.

Chlo-ay? Why are we on your front porch?

-[scoffs] -Yeah, this isn't Dubai.

I know. It's "goodbye."

[scoffs]

And by the way, my name's Chloe.

[light music playing]

[grunting]

Now, where were we?

Oh, right. Your last moments on earth.

[gauntlet whirs, crackles]

That's right.

My gauntlet is laughing at you.

Time to meet our firewall.

Oh, Phoebe, look out. It's a wall.

-[whooshes] -Oh!

Phoebe, look out! It's a wall!

Hit it with our freeze breath!

Whoa!

[Malware laughs]

My research on you was right.

Your freeze breath is useless against our firewall.

And Max is a whiny little chicken baby.

You researched us?

I did more than that.

I sent those evil transmissions

so the Hero League would send you here

and I could get my gauntlet back.

Okay, what's up with this whole Gauntlet thing?

Is it like your weapon, or your only friend?

Both.

Without it,

I couldn't have captured you.

Taking down the Thunder Twins

is totally gonna impress the Mastermind.

Who's that? Your other glove?

The Mastermind is building a new, better Villain League.

-And I want in. -[gauntlet whirs]

Uh, I mean, we want in.

Which means I have to take you out.

[automated female voice] Annihilation in five, four...

-[grunting] -...three, two, one.

[heroic music playing]

[clinks]

Chloe! Thanks. What made you come back?

You guys were right.

Tiff and Blair were just using me.

[sighs] We knew you'd see it eventually.

I'm sorry we treated you like a mission.

And from now on, we'll respect your boundaries.

Thundermans?

If we survive.

Everybody down!

We gotta get that glove off that nerd!

Okay, let's not resort to name calling.

Watch it, buttface!

Wait. What if Chloe can teleport the Gauntlet off of him

just like she did with our cuffs?

It's too dangerous.

Mom and Dad will be really mad at us

if Chloe gets fried by a gauntlet.

Let me try.

No, no. Phoebe's right. It's too...

And she's gone.

[gasps]

Oh. Chloe Thunderman.

You'll have to do better than that.

Oh, I will.

[tense music playing]

No!

Gotcha!

My Giga Gauntlet!

He's the only one that came to my birthday party.

Now, Max!

[crackles]

Good work, team.

This baby's coming with me.

[gauntlet powering up]

So much power!

Oh!

-Maybe we should hold onto this. -You're right.

[upbeat music playing]

[light music playing]

Dibs. I touched it first.

I saved your life.

She wins.

Alert! President Kickbutt calling.

Good job capturing Malware, Thundermans.

Thank you, President Kickbutt.

And don't worry, we put Colosso on house arrest for his crimes.

Joke's on you!

I look great in orange!

But who is this Mastermind guy the villain was talking about?

We looked into that.

Here's an encrypted message we found

on the Evil Web.

I am the Mastermind.

I'm looking for the worst,

most vile supervillains to come to Secret Shores

and join my new Villain League.

First, we will take over Secret Shores,

then, the world!

As you can see, the Mastermind poses an incredible threat

to Secret Shores and beyond.

This mission just got a lot bigger.

So our mission is not over?

No, it's only beginning.

Kickbutt out!

Wait, if you guys are staying,

does that mean I can, too?

I don't know, Chloe.

I mean, taking down the Mastermind

could take weeks or longer.

But I don't want to leave. I'm finally starting to see

what it's like to be normal and have friends.

[doorbell rings]

[sighs] That's them now.

Guess it's time to say goodbye.

Ready for The Quick and the Angry ?

This one's supposed to be quicker,

but a little less angry.

I'd really love to go, but...

turns out I'm gonna be leaving.

Uh, for the movies, a little later.

Yeah. She can meet you guys at the theater.

What? I can stay?

Thank you so much!

Would it be weird if I get in on this hug?

Yes. Very.

This is the best! Are you guys seriously letting me stay?

Yeah, are we?

You do realize we'll have to feed her

and change her diapers.

I'm twelve and a half, and I--

Saved our lives. Yeah, we know.

We could definitely use her help, Max.

Welcome to the team, sis.

It's gonna be so much fun.

Not so fast.

This is a mission, not a vacation.

Yeah, a mission that starts tomorrow. See ya!

Nice try, Thunder Baby.

Look, if we're gonna be watching you,

we gotta set some ground rules.

Starting with a curfew.

What? Nah. She can follow the Max Code.

"If the party's great, come home late."

No, she'll follow the Phoebe Code.

"Everything will be fine if you come home by ."

I like his code better.

Don't wait up!

[blows air]

This is gonna be tough.

Bringing down Mastermind or taking care of Chloe?

Both.

[upbeat music plays, fades]

[closing theme music playing]
