01x05 - Save the Date

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

Why is brunch so much better than breakfast?

Ha! Because it's fancier. They put parsley on every plate

and play soft jazz.

I don't care what's on my plate

as long as I'm not the one washing it.

Is that why you haven't done the dishes? It's your turn.

Last week was Chloe's turn. The whole bottom layer's hers.

Hey. Some of those bowls are from Phoebe's blueberry mush.

It is acai, it is a superfood.

-It's super gross. -[laughs]

Well, either way, we can't keep eating out forever.

We're gonna have to tackle Dish Mountain eventually.

Come on, it's not that bad.

These people are animals!

Hi, guys.

[yelling] Hi, Chloe!

Notice anything different?!

You hate my ear drums now?

He got new earbuds.

[yelling] I got new earbuds! Oh...

I got new ear buds.

Are you sure about going wireless?

You do tend to lose things.

No, I don't.

Wait! I lost my wallet!

Don't worry, Jinx.

Just use the finding crystal I lent you.

It was in my wallet.

I guess we'll just have to use our head crystals.

That's what I call eyes. [chuckles]

[Thunderwatch chimes]

Oh! Time for our daily Mastermind surveillance check.

Ugh! We have to do daily stuff every day?

We know the Mastermind is out there

and if he's being this quiet, that means he's up to something.

Or he's up to nothing.

Good point. Her way sounds like less work.

First we'll check local security footage,

then we can check the police scanner-- oh!

[chuckles] Oh wow, sorry.

I guess those boards aren't hanging ten.

I don't know why I said that.

It's fine.

It's fine. Here, let me do that.

You know, if you wanted my number,

you could have just asked.

-I'm Trey. -I'm Phoebe.

I'm nauseous.

I think she actually likes him.

But she usually has an awkward laugh

when she has a crush on a guy.

[silly laugh]

She likes him.

Trust me. Her Thunderwatch reminder will go off,

she'll say something embarrassing, and bail.

Hey, if you're free tonight, I--

[Thunderwatch chimes]

Oh, I'm so sorry. Work thing, I have to go.

But it was super nice meeting you.

Love your boards. Congrats on... your face.

Bye!

[laughs]

She ran away! Just like I said.

It's not nice to laugh at your siblings.

[laughing]

I'm wrong. It is fun.

[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 ♪

♪Living' a double life ♪

[upbeat music playing]

Guys, look what the surveillance check picked up.

Notice anything suspicious about this ice cream truck?

Yeah, there's no Penguin Pops.

No. It's been driving around Secret Shores at weird hours.

Who eats ice cream in the middle of the night?

-I do. -I do.

Yeah, I do too, but that ice cream truck is trouble.

You ran away from a cute guy to look at an ice cream truck?

[scoffs] I didn't run away from him.

I bounded away like a gazelle.

Whatever. That surfer guy liked you.

Even after you congratulated his face.

I liked him too,

but being a Supe always comes first.

Look, you brought me here to have a normal life,

but what about you?

[exhales] Man, I can't remember the last time I did something

that wasn't superhero related. Maybe you're right.

You're wasting your breath, Chloe.

She's a lost cause.

Just like these dishes. Hm.

So, where we eating out later?

I am not a lost cause.

And I'm thinking Thai food.

You just need to pause your Thundergirl instincts

so you can let inner Phoebe live.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Okay. Let's do that...

How do I do that?

With my help. You're gonna go back there and ask out Trey.

-I am? -You are.

Can I come? I love watching train wrecks.

No. You stay here and do the dishes.

Or... how about we make this interesting?

Why don't you put your dishes where your mouth is?

Gross.

No, I'm-- I'm talking about

a classic Thunder bet.

If Phoebe can turn off Thundergirl

and get through an entire date, I'll do the dishes from now on.

And if she can't?

Then you do the dishes from now on.

Your tiny little hands

will help with the tiny little cups.

You're on.

Don't worry. Inner Phoebe's got this.

She better, 'cause outer Chloe is not doing dishes.

Let's do this.

[rumbling and clattering]

Careful.

We angered Dish Mountain.

[upbeat music playing]

Remember: Max is taking care of all the emergencies today

so you can just chill and be Phoebe.

Got it. Just be "me-be."

Don't make me regret taking your side.

You won't. It's just gonna be tricky

ignoring every superhero instinct I have.

Don't you want to make Max look dumb?

Ooh, that is the one instinct I'd never ignore.

Okay, Thundergirl is officially off duty.

Hey, litterbug, that's a crime!

Okay, now I'm off duty.

I'll pick up the trash, you pick up that cute boy.

You're back? I brought in a couple of long boards

I think you'd love knocking over.

[laughs] Uh, no, I actually wanted to ask

if you were free for dinner tonight?

Yeah, sounds great.

Yes! I mean, cool, cool, cool.

Uh, I see you guys got some food.

I'm guessing you found your wallet?

Yeah, he found his wallet

but somehow, I still had to pay for lunch.

Because I don't keep my money in my wallet.

That's how they get you.

Um, Jinx. Looks like one of your ears is budless.

Oh no! I lost it already? Booch, help me look!

Fine. But you're buying the next round of fries

or you're gonna be earbudless and best budless.

Ugh! I've been waiting all day and there's no crime anywhere.

[gasps] So you like crime now?

I knew this being a hero thing was just a phase!

I don't like crime.

I just need to distract Phoebe with an emergency

so Chloe loses the bet and I don't have to do dishes.

You have to win, Max!

You know your hands prune easily!

So... how was the train wreck?

Please tell me you have a video.

I have something better than a video.

I have a date tonight with Trey.

In fact, I'm gonna make myself

a circus celebration super smoothie.

[mocking] "A circus celebration super smoothie."

[noisemaker trumpets]

Ha! Yay, me!

Whatever! Ha. I'm not worried.

[chuckling]

I can't believe Chloe's gonna win this bet!

Unless...

Unless I stage a fake emergency.

Phoebe will bail on the date and I'll win.

I was gonna say, unless we could become influencers.

They're rich! And they get free clothes!

[upbeat music playing]

Thunderford, I need to look my best for this date with Trey

so show me what you got.

I've selected some outfits based on your preferred style

and optimal color palette,

and if I do say so myself, they are quite fire.

I'm a summer?

I thought I was a spring.

Girl, I got you.

Uh, too fancy.

Not fancy enough.

Too meh.

That's a space suit?

Just making sure you were paying attention.

Well, off to get my thread on.

Picking an outfit for your date?

Yes, I am.

Thank you for getting me to embrace

my inner Phoebe again. I missed her.

I did it for you. And because I hate doing dishes.

Phoebe, come quick! A massive sinkhole

-just opened near Main Street. -Any civilian injuries?

No, but it doesn't look good for that animal shelter.

What if I can't help little Bingo?

Don't worry, I'm coming, Bingo!

Phoebe, there is no Main Street in Secret Shores.

How did you know that-- I mean...

because the sinkhole swallowed it!

You faked a mission to win a bet?

How dare you!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go save Bingo.

I know Bingo's not real but I hope he's okay.

We can see you!

Phoebe Thunderman, reporting for dating.

Hi. How do I look, Dish Mountain?

[rumbling and clattering]

Thanks, please don't fall.

[phone ringing]

Phoebe, quick! I need your help.

There's a mutant octopus terrorizing Secret Shores!

[groans]Oh, no!

[groaning, yelling]

The suction cups are everywhere!

[yelling] No! No!

If I don't make it, tell Colosso he can have my hair products!

[yelling, panting]

[clears throat]

How much of that did you see?

Uh, enough to be embarrassed for you.

I'm going on that date, Max. You can't stop inner Phoebe.

Don't leave me here with this vicious monster!

[groaning] No!

I've got so much left to give!

[groans]

[upbeat music playing]

We've looked everywhere. Where's the earbud?

Don't panic. Let's retrace our steps

starting from the beginning.

Okay, so, first I was born,

so that was a crazy day.

Then...

Maybe a little too far back.

Let's start from when you came into Splats.

Okay. We sat at this table. Ate some fries.

And when Waylon wasn't looking, I snuck into the kitchen.

Wait. You snuck into the kitchen?

Yeah. To smell the dough for the dinner rolls. Duh.

And when you say you smelled the dough...

I leaned my head over the giant mixing bowl

and took a deep breath in.

[inhales]

Mmm.

Oh. [sighs]

I guess we'll never know what happened.

Your earbud must have fell into the dough.

To the kitchen!

Where are you two going?

Oh, we're...

health inspectors!

You're twelve.

Ageism. It's everywhere.

You're too late. All the dinner rolls

have been baked for the day, you dough sniffer!

[panting] Your earbud must be baked into a roll.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music playing]

There are rolls on every table.

It could be anywhere!

What can be anywhere?

The... spirit of friendship.

I can't with you kids.

Psst! Phoebe!

Chloe? What are you doing here?

I'm making sure Max doesn't try to ruin your date again.

I'm not letting him beat me.

Come on, there's no way Max is gonna call

with another fake emergency.

[phone ringing]

Is that Max?

Yes.

What is it now, Max? Volcano?

k*ller bees? Runaway train?

Remember that suspicious ice cream truck

you were worried about?

Well, I found it.

And let's just say...

the flavor of the month is evil.

Your eye's twitching.

Oh, don't tell me you're buying this.

Part of me knows Max is lying

but all of me knows I'm right about that ice cream truck.

I'll go check on Max and you enjoy that date.

[sighs] Alright.

Time to slay all day with Trey.

You're not going to say that, are you?

Not anymore.

Come on, Phoebe. Pick up, this is serious!

I am not doing those dishes.

Hey! I needed that to trick Phoebe!

I mean, to call for help

because I'm in danger!

I can't believe you.

Stop trying to ruin Phoebe's date.

-I just-- -She's having a good time

and not thinking about superhero stuff

and we need to support that.

I know, I just...

dishes!

Freeze!

[Max groans]

Ah! Ah...

[evil laugh]

Allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Brain Freeze!

Really? I thought that would scare you.

What'd you do to my brother, brain fart?

Okay. Rude.

My ray has rendered him powerless!

Giving him an extreme brain freeze!

Okay, really? Nothing?

Come on, Max, I'm getting us out of here.

Ah!

Oh! Did I forget to mention,

when you try to use your super powers,

you get brain freeze!

Stop saying "brain freeze"!

What are we supposed to do?

It helps to put your thumb against the roof of your mouth.

It's not working.

Just keep trying.

[groans, sighs]

Hey. My brain isn't feeling as freezy.

See if you can teleport us now.

Okay, let me try.

Ah! My powers still aren't working.

I have spent weeks canvassing this seaside slum,

but you found me just in time for the big event.

Is it an ice cream party?

'Cause I could actually get on board with that.

No, it is finally time for me to unleash

the hypno-sonic speakers!

[dramatic music playing]

Just a few notes of my jaunty tune

will brainwash the people of Secret Shores

into following the Mastermind.

You work for the Mastermind?

-[ringing] -Speaking of,

he's calling me on my cell cone!

If we survive this, I want a cell cone!

Mastermind! I have apprehended an unknown Supe

and her annoying sidekick!

Not a sidekick.

I caught them snooping around my truck.

I told you, ice cream trucks don't operate at night!

[stammering] Well, they could.

Ice cream is an anytime food.

[Mastermind groans]

What are we gonna do? I can't teleport

and Brain Freeze took my phone.

Yeah, you threw my phone away.

Wait! There it is!

Quick, while Brain Freeze is distracted.

[goofy grunting]

Can you do it without making that noise?

Not really.

[grunts, chuckles]

That's a good looking lock screen.

Just call Phoebe.

Phone. Call "butthead sister."

Wait, what's my name in your phone?

Shh! It's ringing.

[upbeat music playing]

[panting]

Evening, everyone.

May I pre-tear your dinner rolls for you?

All clear. We hope you enjoyed

your bread-tearing experience.

Hi. We're running a contest where if you find an earbud

in your dinner rolls... you win!

Sorry, you lost.

So have you always wanted to be an art teacher?

No, not really.

But when the students see how bad I am,

it really boosts their confidence.

[phone ringing]

[sighs] Nice try. How dumb do you think I am?

Oh, I don't think you're dumb. No.

I just think you're a little clumsy, but in a cute way.

Oh. You think I'm cute?

There I go, being cute again. [chuckle]

Good evening, Chloe's sister. Random surf dude.

Any interest in a free guided meditation?

Uh, no. Now's not really a good--

Close your eyes...

Not you, Jinx.

Take a deep breath in

and think about rainbows. Go!

Nothing!

Meditation over. Gotta run!

Is it weird I feel way more chill?

Is it weird I still wanna eat those dinner rolls?

[sighing]

This is all my fault.

This is what I get for being the Supe who cried wolf.

You had me at "all your fault."

Alright.

Well, the Mastermind has instructed me

to find out who you two are.

So tell me, what does this T on your belt stand for?

Uh... Turtle Boy.

Turtle Boy? Really?

This is why you're the sidekick.

Enough! If you won't tell me who you two are,

then you will be my first test subjects

for the hypno-sonic speakers!

Don't worry. Brain control doesn't work on Supes.

Ha! Perhaps.

But the sound waves will melt your brains

like a snow cone on a hot summer's day.

Now what, Turtle Guy?

I'm Turtle Boy.

[melodic, chiming tune plays]

[groaning]

[Chloe] This song... it hurts my brain!

It makes me really want ice cream. [groans]

[melodic, chiming tune continues]

[upbeat music playing]

Look, I don't know why you kids hate bread,

but you need to pay for the rolls you damaged.

But the dinner rolls are free!

Mm. For paying customers!

Hold on, I think I have a sunflower seed

or a cough drop in here somewhere!

[sighs] Nope. Just an earbud.

It was in your pocket the whole time?

[gasps] You're right!

Just another classic Jinx mess-'em-up!

[sighs] Well, at least we can go home now.

Yeah, uh, just one other problem.

I lost the other earbud.

Out. Out!

So, um, you grew up surfing?

Yeah. I started when I was a kid.

I'm so sorry, I have to hear this message.

[Max]Hey, Phoebe. Funny story.

I'm kind of in trouble and I really need your help.

Yeah, right.

[Chloe]I know it's hard to believe

but my sidekick is telling the truth.

[Max]Not your sidekick!

-[breathing heavily] -[dramatic music playing]

I don't know how much more of this I can take!

Don't worry. In about seconds,

your brains will be completely melted.

[triumphant music playing]

[melodic, chiming tune stops]

Sorry. That song was really getting on my nerves.

Curse you, Turtle Girl!

Turtle what?

Whoa!

-Go, Turtle Girl! -You got him!

[grunts]

-[whooshing] -[ice crackling]

Phoebe, you saved us! After your date, I hope.

Well, I had to leave it early to save you, but...

I am getting a surf lesson from Trey tomorrow.

Inner Phoebe is back!

Inner Phoebe also just lost a bet for Chloe.

Enjoy doing the dishes forever!

Seriously, Max?

What? A bet's a bet.

He's right. I should probably save my tiny hands

for all the dishes I'm gonna be doing.

Oh, come on, guys, you can't just leave me here.

I mean... Chloe!

Phoebe!

Okay, fine, I'll do the dishes!

Works for me.

-Whew! -And for the record...

Yes, I know, you were right about the ice cream truck.

Thank you.

[sighs]
