01x04 - The Parent Zap

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

Chloe, smoothie time! Get 'em while they're smooth!

Cool! I'll take a strawberry one!

No. This is a super smoothie machine.

It creates a unique and one-of-a-kind flavor every day.

Today's flavor is mind-blowing mango.

[fireworks popping]

So good!

[distant scream]

Is that a baby crying?

[screams]

Okay! Who set the slide on turbo power?

-No idea. -Not a clue!

Pull up your socks, Thundermans!

The Hero League sent over new crime-fighting gear

to help you on your mission.

Oh! Toys!

Depixelating.

Cool! What is all this stuff?

[Thunderford]Laser lipstick, knock-out gas pen,

potato grenade, acid-spitting moles.

What's this thing that looks like a nose-hair clipper?

That's a nose-hair clipper.

[clipper clatters]

Oh! What's this fancy boy do?

That's a Disguise-alizer!

It can change your outward appearance

into anyone you want.

Awesome!

-[phone ringing] -Be right back.

Don't use the potato grenade without me!

-[slurping] -[fireworks popping]

The Mastermind's in for a little high-tech justice!

-[laser fires] -[crashes]

I will not do that again.

Is it okay if Jinx and Booch come over to watch a movie?

Yeah, no problem.

Oh, what's this thing?

They said yes!

Says it's a helium ray.

Wait, what did Chloe just ask us?

Uh, "Something, something movie, something, something Booch?"

Helium blast!

[upbeat electronic music plays]

[high-pitched voice] Okay. We're done.

Come back when you can take this more seriously.

[Max laughs]

[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 ♪

[upbeat music playing]

Welcome to movie night!

Sorry we're late. I had to give my mom

a really long hug before I left.

She's that clingy?

No, I am.

Oh my gosh!

You guys, I am so stoked to watch television!

You don't have a TV in your yurt?

No, we usually just watch our lava lamp.

My favorite show is...

[makes bubbling sounds]

They are so cute!

Oh, we should get them snacks! Make it a real movie night!

Way ahead of you.

Why are you hiding candy in a vase?

It's the only place Colosso can't reach.

He's got little stubby paws.

Who wants candy?!

-Yeah! -Wow!

So what movie are you gonna watch?

-Uh,One Night at Buster's. -Oh!

I love a good talking dog movie!

And I love when I'm alone with my friends!

Come on, Phoebe.

Let's take our share of the candy and leave.

Look at them.

Mom and Dad said being Chloe's guardians would be hard.

We should call and rub it in their faces!

'Cause we are killin' it!

[tense music playing in movie]

[chainsaw whirring]

So many chainsaws!

Candy makes my brain dance!

Ow.

[upbeat music playing]

[bell ringing]

Better get to class.

Oh, did you get approval on buying a kiln for the art room?

I'll get you an answer on that right now.

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -No.

Max, Phoebe.

I have concerned parents that want to speak with you.

Thank you, Principal Taylor. We can always trust you

-to take care of our kids. -Unlike some people.

It's like they're staring into our souls.

Well, I'd stay and watch, but that seems rude,

so I'll watch from the security camera in my office.

Look, if you guys are the parents of the kid

I spilled chili on at lunch yesterday, he walked into me.

No! He is the dad of a delightfully quirky girl

and I am the mom of a handsome little angel.

Oh, Jinx and Booch!

Yes! The kids you showed a horror movie to last night!

Wait,One Night at Buster's is a horror movie?

What would you call a movie about a robot dog

that turns evil and chases kids around a locked arcade?!

Awesome!

Uh, I mean... [chuckles]

Phoebe, how could you let them watch that?

And you gave Kombucha an entire bowl of candy!

Technically, it was a vase.

Look at them. They're a mess.

Ahhh! Giant robot dog!

Does it have candy?!

You see? You turned my Lion King into a scaredy-cat!

We are so sorry!

We absolutely should've called you both to check in.

I don't have a phone. But you should've written me

a message in the sand outside of my yurt.

We promise it won't happen again.

Never mind that. We would like to talk to your parents.

-You can't. They're superhe-- -Busy!

They're super, super, super busy with their normal jobs,

which is why they made us Chloe's guardians.

Well, you tell them to be un-busy tonight at seven o'clock

or we will never let our kids hang out with Chloe again.

What that hippie guy said.

Ugh. This is bad, Max.

I know. They totally spoiled One Night at Buster's!

Not that. I mean, Jinx and Booch were Chloe's first real friends

and now she might lose them 'cause we were bad guardians.

What were we supposed to do? Treat 'em like children?

I believe that was the idea. Yes.

We have to get Mom and Dad to talk to them.

-Let's call 'em. -Okay.

-Hi, guys! -Hey, you two!

Are you in space?

Yeah, we're on a three-day mission

at the Hero League's Lunar Space Base.

Oh, hang on. Nora!

Billy fell in the crater again!

Three days, huh?

So you wouldn't be able to stop by the old house tonight

around seven o'clock

for a completely non-crisis related reason?

-What's wrong? -Is Chloe okay?!

Did this guardian thing go off the rails?

See, Hank? I knew this would happen!

No, no, no! Everything's fab. Some other time.

-Good luck in space! Bye! -Love ya! Bye!

Phoebe, tell us what's going on!

Guess we gotta handle this one on our own.

Maybe Jinx and Booch's parents will decide not to come over.

Jinx and Booch's parents are coming over!

Dang it!

Care to explain?

So their parents are kinda mad at us for letting you guys watch

a scary movie and eat a vase of sugar.

They were acting kinda weird today.

Jinx ate his lunch in his locker

and Booch tipped over a vending machine.

You know what? You'll make new friends. Better friends.

Wait. They won't let us hang out anymore?

Jinx and Booch are my only friends in Secret Shores.

Come on. That's not true.

What about Kyle and Ninotchka?

You're just making names up!

I knew I should've said Wendy!

How could you let this happen?

I thought you wanted me to have a normal life.

We do! We thought that meant letting you and your friends

watch whatever you want and eat gobs of candy!

You two better fix this!

How are we gonna fix this? Mom and Dad aren't here.

That's who Mama Jinx and Papa Booch wanna talk to.

Well... if they want Mom and Dad...

let's give 'em Mom and Dad.

The Disguise-alizer?

Oh no, you can't be serious.

Do I get a vote on this?

-Nope. -Aw!

[whirring, shimmering]

Phoebe! You turned me into Dad!

I'm old!

My swoosh is gone!

I had to, Max!

Desperate times call for...

desperate bodies.

[Max whines]

[upbeat music playing]

[bright music playing]

Mom and Dad?! Oh, I'm so glad you're here!

Max and Phoebe were total bozos and ruined my friendships.

[together] Awkward.

Actually, Chloe, weare Max and Phoebe.

What the what?!

Phoebe used the Disguise-alizer

to make us look exactly like Mom and Dad.

It was her dumb idea, not mine.

You're the dumb idea, Max.

-You! -You're the dumb idea!

-You're the dumb idea! -You're the dumbest!

Yeah. This won't scar me for life.

No, Chloe. It's good.

Jinx and Booch's parents wanna meet Mom and Dad

before they let you hang out again.

But Mom and Dad are on the moon, so Phoebe's lame idea

is that we are gonna be them.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Thank you. Phoebe didn't think it would work.

Wait. Do you think we have their powers?

-[zapping] -Ow!

Cool! We do!

Huh. Wait.

That means I have Dad's super strength!

[grunts]

Max! That was my phone!

Should've thought about that before you fried my foot.

How about I fry the other foot?

-[doorbell rings] -That's them! Don't blow it!

Hello!

You must be Adele and Randy!

I'm my mom.

I mean Barb!

Come on in! Nice to meet you.

Oh! You brought Booch and Jinx with you!

What?! [gasps]

Jinx, I told you to stay home, my little lamb!

We just wanna make sure this goes well!

Yeah! We'll hang out with Chloe while you decide

if we can still hang out with Chloe.

Back to the yurt, Kombucha Moonbeam Dreamweaver!

Okay, we'll go.

[crickets chirping]

We're not actually leaving.

What's wrong with your eye?

I have an eye twitch from the sugar.

Hi! Hank Thunderman.

-[crunches] -Ow!

He doesn't know his own strength.

We wanted to meet you to see what kind of a family this is

after what happened last night.

As you can see, I'm awesome and she's here too.

Thanks for coming! Bye!

Oh, no, no! Uh,

we've met you, but now we want to get to know you. Your aura.

Your essence. Your vibe.

I just wanna make sure you're not a couple of weirdos.

I need to trust that this is a safe home

for my little klutzball.

Oh, couldn't be safer. Right, Hank?

-[zapping] -[screaming]

Sho-Shocking how safe-safe it is here.

Why do you sound like you're in pain?

Oh, it pains him that you don't trust our children.

Well, speaking of your children, where are Max and Phoebe?

-Working late. -At the gym...

Working late at the gym.

[Chloe clearing throat]

Just wondering if anyone needs anything from the kitchen.

Oh! How polite, Chloe. Just water for me.

And I would love some herbal, cruelty-free tea.

Care to help me in the kitchen, Mom and Dad?

-[clears throat loudly] -Oh,we're Mom and Dad!

-Oh, right! -Excuse me!

What is wrong with you two? You're totally blowing this!

Nuh-uh! Phoebe's blowing it! I'm more Hank than Hank.

I'm not the one who almost broke that dude's hand.

-Eh! -Bleh!

Look, just try and be normal

and maybe I can still have friends.

Psst! Chloe! How's it going?

Yeah! Do we get to keep you?

What are you guys doing out there?

We're standing on a rock that looks like a turtle.

Whoa, I think this is a turtle.

I don't know how to turtle surf!

Don't worry, Jinx! I'll come back for you!

-[doorbell rings] -What was that?

A doorbell, Phoebe. You ever heard of it?

Don't you talk to your fake mother that way!

I'll get rid of them. You guys get drinks.

I'll see who it is in a safe, responsible manner!

-Hi, Chloe! -[Chloe screams]

Is everything okay?

Yeah. It's just the dog walkers.

You don't have a dog.

You're right. I better go tell them.

Real Mom and Dad?!

Do you have another Mom and Dad?

It's a long story. Let's talk about it upstairs.

Barb! A super smoothie machine!

I want one!

Uh, so nice to see you guys. Why are you here?

Max and Phoebe were acting weird on the phone,

so we left the Space Base to make sure everything was okay.

Max and Phoebe used the Disguise-alizer

to look like you to impress Jinx and Booch's parents.

They are in so much trouble--

-Oh! -[fireworks popping]

[laughing] That's the stuff!

Wait! So Phoebe and Max are disguised as Hank and Barb,

and the real Hank and Barb showed up?

Let the dumpster fire begin!

I'll tell Max and Phoebe you're here.

Do not leave this room until you hear from me.

Wait, Chloe! Wait!

Barbara!

You're looking well.

Keep it up and I will throw you into the sun.

Max, you found cruelty-free tea?

No, just some hot water and leaves from the yard.

Guys, Mom and Dad are here!

Chloe, it's a little weird when you call us Mom and Dad.

Yeah, knock it off, you little weirdo.

No! I mean our real Mom and Dad!

-[together] What?! -Shh!

Let me teleport you to the Air Lair

-and let Mom and Dad take over. -No, it's too late for that.

They don't know about movie night or the candy.

They know I'm your boss at school.

-Oh, how is that important?! -It's not, but it's hilarious.

We can still fix this.

Tell Mom and Dad to stay in the Air Lair.

We'll handle Jinx and Booch's parents.

Cool, but if you mess this up for me, I'll never forgive you.

Good luck!

We just need to get out there and get their approval,

so follow my lead and be respectful.

I hate doing both of those things!

Where have you been?

In the kitchen, talking to Chloe.

How can you be talking to Chloe?

We saw her walk out the front door.

Uh, tea?

Oh! Is it locally sourced?

Couldn't be more local.

Mm!

Earthy!

Sorry again about the movie night sitch.

From now on, you can trust our family

with Booch and your little klutzball.

Oh! See, that's all we wanted to hear.

I trust anyone that can brew a cup of liquid heaven like this.

Great! So we're all on the same page.

We are definitely Chloe's parents

and you should let our kids hang out.

Tell us you agree and we can get outta here!

Wait, where are you going?

Well, we have plans tonight.

What? You're leaving your daughter by herself?

What daughter?

[coughs loudly] Chloe!

Oh! Chloe! Our daughter that I know we have!

[Phoebe chuckles]

I-I would never leave her alone. [chuckles]

Well, I don't see anyone else around.

Uh... Phoebe and Max are here!

You said Phoebe and Max were working late at the gym.

-I don't think we did. -I'm pretty sure you did.

Are you calling my mom a liar?

Your mom?! Oh, this is absurd!

Do you even know where Phoebe and Max are?!

A good parent always knows where their kids are.

Well, we are good parents,

and Max and Phoebe are--

Right here!

It's me! The Maxinator!

Hey, everyone! It's me! Pheebs!

-Hank, we are nailing this! -I know, Barb!

[upbeat music playing]

[mellow music playing]

So, as you can see,

Max and Phoebe were here all along.

Yeah, so you can stop being all sus.

You seem different from when you're at school.

School?

Oh! School! [chuckling]

Where I work! As the Vice Principal!

Right! And I am the...

Art teacher?

Really? That's hilarious.

I mean, I love art.

Oh.

I'm gonna need some more tea.

I'm gonna need some more not being in here.

Okay, how? Why?

And also, I am adorable!

We were watching upstairs on Thunderford and decided to help.

You're welcome.

Guys, focus. We still have a chance to pull this off.

Everybody just needs to act their part.

[sighs] We'll try,

but having different bodies is so distracting.

Ha! Phoebe, your limbs are delightfully bendy.

And, Max, I totally get the whole swoosh thing now.

It's so fun and bouncy.

Gross! Dad, stop touching it!

Oh, Hank! I'm gonna try a freeze breath.

[laughs] I'll fix it, Barb.

Shh, shh! Here they come!

So, we were in the kitchen

and found our little angels spying on us.

We weren't spying.

We were just hiding in the bushes watching you!

You gotta give 'em another chance, Dad.

You always say decisions should be made in a moment of calm.

I do always say that.

Here's what we'll do.

A serenity chain. Everybody, hold hands!

-Come on, Barb! Hold my hand. -I can't, Hank.

Remember what happens when Max and Phoebe hold hands?

[gasps] It activates their twin power.

Hey, you two.

Grab hands and join the chain.

Unless you hate serenity. [chuckles]

Don't be shy.

Uhhh...

[zapping]

-Whoa! Everybody get down! -[expl*si*n]

What in Grandma's wheatgrass was that?!

This home and this family are menaces!

I cannot believe Principal Taylor

hired you two as educators.

Come along, Jinxy.

Say goodbye to Chloe forever.

You too, Boochi-Poo.

The only thing good about this family is their tea.

If you'll excuse me, I need a moment alone.

She's taking it better than I thought.

[Chloe shouting] Why?!

Okay, that makes more sense.

All right. Before you use the Disguise-alizer,

I have something to say.

So long, youth.

It was nice not being tired all the time.

Is that why I fell asleep on the toilet before?

[whirring]

Barb is back!

[laughs] So is Ha--

-[bones crack] -[groan] My back!

Thank you for trying to help.

Chloe, we're sorry.

Turns out being guardians is harder than we thought.

It's okay. I may have lost my first real friends

and secretly screamed about it.

No. We all heard it.

But I wouldn't have known what real friends were

if you hadn't brought me here to have a normal life.

Well, now that we have our old bodies back,

maybe your dad and I could go talk to the parents again.

Or beg.

Your father's very good at that.

It's how we got engaged.

What's the point?

The only person they like is Principal Taylor.

Then maybe

we can get Principal Taylor to talk to them.

[upbeat music playing]

And that's why I can say the Thundermans

are a good, trustworthy family.

Even if an expl*si*n happened here that no one could explain.

Thank you, Principal Taylor. You're very wise.

I really am. And I think it would be a shame

to keep these kids apart.

Well, if Principal Taylor vouches for them,

-it's good enough for me. -And me. [chuckles]

Yay! We can stay friends!

And we can come over whenever we want!

Oh, maybe not whenever you want!

Can we get the keys to the house?

-No. -Come on, kids.

You can see your friends tomorrow.

Bye, guys. See you at school.

Bring candy!

She definitely won't!

They're gone. Now how about you give me my body back?

You got it.

[whirring]

Ah!

[yelps]

I forgot how annoying

wearing three-inch high heels can be.

You know, your mom and I weren't so sure

about this guardian thing, but clearly,

-Chloe is in great hands. -Thanks, Dad.

Now hand over the Disguise-alizer.

What? You trust us with Chloe but not the Disguise-alizer?

[together] Yes.

Remember, when it comes to being guardians,

we're still the experts. [chuckles]

Well, tell Billy and Nora we say hi.

Billy, Nor-- Hank!

We forgot to bring 'em back from the moon!

We gotta go! Love you! Bye!

Thunderman away!

[crashing]

It's even more annoying when it's your house.
