- Hey, Max, did you finally get your guitar strap fixed?
- Yep, fixed it myself.
Check it out.
Sock and roll!
- *
- Dude, what if that happens at the talent show?
Buy a new strap.
- I can't buy a new strap.
I'm broke.
But, hey, we'll rock that talent show
as long as we stay focused.
Guys.
- Ssh, we're trying to stay focused.
- Oh, no!
My laptop is gone.
I can't find it.
- Uh, maybe you should retrace your steps.
- Good idea.
Uh, before I was here,
I walked into the boy's bathroom by mistake.
Sorry, Gideon.
- It's perfectly normal to go in there
and cry between classes.
Oh.
I remember I put my computer in my backpack
just before the assembly.
- Someone probably stole it there.
I know a kid who got his tablet stolen
at the pep rally last week.
- Bummer.
- Yeah, I know, that's awful.
- No, the kid's name is Bummer Calloway.
Come on, guys, let's go rehearse.
That computer has all of my homework on it.
None of it's right, but it's done.
- Cherry, I am so sorry.
The Hero League put me in charge of protecting a hidden villain.
I can't even prevent my bestie from getting ripped off.
I'm gonna capture this criminal for you, I promise.
Oh, Max!
I need to talk to you.
- Phoebe, I know what you're gonna say,
and, no, I did not steal Cherry's laptop.
- I was just gonna ask if you've heard anything.
I know you didn't steal it.
You're a jerk, you're not heartless.
Take that back!
I am totally heartless!
- Would you like to buy a candy bar
to help save the pandas?
- Oh, how could I say no to that furry little face?
Hey! Phoebe!
Get back here to admit I'm heartless!
- * What you see is not what you get *
* Living our lives with a secret *
* We fit right in, bet you'd never guess *
* Because we're living our lives just like all the rest *
* A picture-perfect family is what we try to be *
* But 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 *
- And then Phoebe said I couldn't be the bandit
because I'm not heartless.
- I see, I see.
- And that's why--oh!
What did you do that for?
- For making me agree with Phoebe!
Those band guys you hang out with are too nice!
And it's rubbing off on you!
- No, they're not.
And this evil chronicle of my devious deeds
I'm keeping for Dark Mayhem is proof.
- This is your evil chronicle.
That is your stupid band scrapbook!
Look, it's us with Santa.
Ow!
Stop throwing stuff at me.
- Stop scrapbooking!
You need to ditch those squeaky clean friends of yours.
- Max Thunderman doesn't have friends.
They're just my band, nothing us.
- Then lose them and find some shady characters
to help you fill that chronicle up with bad stuff!
- Okay, fine, I will.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
I can help you do bad stuff.
- You know I can't take you out in public.
You can in my evil stroller.
Push me-e-e-e-e!
- Alright, you guys, you ready for a snack?
- We actually made our own.
I can't believe it.
- Believe it, baby.
- Hank, the kids are doing stuff on their own.
- Don't jinx it.
Smile...and back away.
Barb, this family's on autopilot.
- What are we gonna do with all this free time?
"Real Super Wives of Metroburgh"!
We're like a hundred episodes behind.
We can binge watch them all.
- Why are you still talking to me?
Turn on the TV!
- *
- Billy!
What are you doing in there?
- Playing hide and seek with you guys.
- Oh, yeah.
Found you.
- It's been four hours!
- Sorry.
We looked for you for a while,
but then we started playing outside and we forgot.
- But on the bright side, you can fit into cupboards.
- Yeah, Billy!
- You guys keep doing this.
This is just like the time
where we were supposed to play Go Fish.
You two forgot me and actually went fishing.
- You weren't complaining
when you had a belly full of flounder.
I can have fun without you, too.
I'm gonna go play with my other friend.
Um...
Luigi.
Luigi...Marinara.
He's from Italy.
I'm going over to his house right now for lunch.
We're gonna eat pepperoni right off the tree.
- *
- Max!
I see you and your friends signed up for the talent show.
- Oh no, they're not my friends.
- They've really cleaned up your act.
- My act is not clean.
- Good talk.
- Even Bradford thinks I've turned into a nice guy.
I need to find some shady delinquents...and fast.
- Cherry's computer.
Hello, shady delinquents.
- Ah!
Phoebe, quit creeping up on me like a creepy creep.
- I'm on the prowl for bandit suspects.
Oh, those girls look suspicious.
- Ah, forget about those girls.
You asked me if I heard anything, and I did.
Rumor is Brian Jones is your man.
- That's the one.
- I'll find out what he's hiding under those hedgehogs.
- Hey, ladies.
I'm Max Thunderman.
I just wanted to say I'm a fan.
In fact, I'm in the same line of work.
- And what work are you talking about?
- Uh, just this.
- Whoa. - Cool.
- Dessert!
- Well, you definitely have some skills.
- And you're boy pretty.
I like that.
- I don't even go to this school.
- Come on, we'll let you hang for a while.
- Max!
- Ah!
Why is everybody creeping?
- Dude, we got something for you.
- Oh guys, you can't be buying me stuff.
You're our friend.
Best-in friend-zins.
- Oh, no hugs.
And not best-in friend-zins.
We're just a band.
Ouch.
- What are you talking about, man?
We're all friends.
And you started the gift giving
when you made us these scrapbooks.
- Give me those.
Max Thunderman doesn't have friends.
And now he doesn't have a band.
I'm out.
What just happened?
I don't know.
But I'll be in the bathroom.
- Okay, Chloe, got all your pads on.
- Let's roll!
- Whoa, look who's hanging out again.
- We're just going scooting down by the--
- Excuse me, my friend is calling.
Hey, Luigi.
Qué pasta?
That's Italian for "How's it going?"
Sure, I'll come over again.
Hasta lasagna.
- Oh, hey, when do I get to meet Luigi?
- Whenever you want.
- Great.
Bring him over tomorrow.
- He'll be here.
- MAX'S MIND: What is wrong with me?
- WOMAN ON TV: I'm keeping it real.
Oh, don't you fly away from me when I'm talking to you.
- Oh, no, she didn't!
- Oh, yes, she did!
I didn't think it was possible to watch 67 episodes in 1 day.
- It's not.
It's been two days.
Watching TV inside this long isn't good for us.
- Oh, I totally agree.
We need fresh air.
Oh, no, she didn't!
- Oh, oh, yes, she did!
- So, Max, you ready for your first big heist?
- I was born ready.
- I was born in the woods.
- Phoebe, I thought you were gonna shave off his eyebrows
to see what he was hiding.
- I did.
Turns out they grow back in a day.
Look, Cherry, I'm so sorry I haven't found your laptop yet.
It's like whoever stole it has a guardian angel.
But I'm not gonna quit, okay?
The bandit hit the assembly and the pep rally.
So my guess is he's gonna show up here tonight.
- Of course.
- Which is why we're gonna go into the auditorium early
to be there to catch him.
Come on.
- Wonder which one's the dummy.
Whoa!
Performers only, Phoebe.
- Actually, Cherry and I were hoping to enter
as a last-minute act.
- Annoying me is not a talent.
- Lucky for you, we have many talents.
And we...are going over there right now to pick one.
- I guess we have to come up with an act.
The only other way to get backstage
is through the ceiling vent, and only a fool would try that.
- Ugh!
I'm a genius.
- All right, Max, you're about to become one of us.
- Then you'll be the weird one.
We're gonna steal that popcorn cart behind them.
- For a second I thought you were gonna say
we're stealing all their equipment.
- That's a much better idea.
- Good job, the weird one.
- Stealing their equipment will be like taking a fancy car
from a helpless old man.
- Enjoying his bus pass.
- Hey!
Aren't those guys your friends?
- No.
I have no idea who they are.
- Guys, guys, stop!
Look, we're all upset about losing Max.
- Uh, different Max.
- We have to move on and forget about Max Thunderman.
- Different Max Thunderman.
- We can't steal anything 'til we figure out
how to get rid of that guy.
- Gideon has a lot of weaknesses--
'80s hip hop, girls, food court samples.
- Yeah.
- I got this.
Hey.
- Yes.
- *
- Ladies and gentlemen!
The gorgeous women of magic or GWAM.
- That's definitely not what we discussed.
Anyway, prepare to be amazed.
Really?
- Principal Bradford, can I interest you in a Cherry float?
- My brother was a magician.
He turned my girlfriend into his wife.
So unless you can pull Valerie out of that hat, go away.
- Principal Bradford, wait!
- Ugh!
Ow!
The pain is not an illusion.
- I'm sorry, Cherry.
First I let your laptop get stolen, and then I drop you.
Maybe I should quit being a superhero and focus on GWAM?
- Gideon, you are so sweet...and hilarious.
Gideon is neither of those things.
Magic's out, Cherry.
Saving the world is back in.
- *
- So Luigi will be here any minute.
- Oh, this is gonna be fun.
- Or a complete disaster.
I'm gonna go change into my good socks.
You must-a be Nora.
I'm Luigi.
Nice-a to meet you.
- *
- You know, you guys are a terrible influence on me.
I'd like to say thank you.
- A new guitar strap.
Oh.
"To Max, you're low on cash, but you're not low on friends."
- Pfh, nerd love.
I'll take that.
The dog I stole needs a new leash.
- Give me that back.
- I thought you said they weren't your friends.
- Well, they are.
At least they were.
- Some girl was following me.
I lost her, but we should get this stuff back to the hideout.
I don't think so.
If you wanna steal from my friends,
you're gonna have to go through me.
- Okie-dokie.
- Ugh!
You don't even go to this school!
Where's Phoebe when I need her?
- Oh!
Max!
What are you doing here?
Where's that girl I was following?
- Jay ran out with the other two
and all the band's stuff they stole.
- So they are the bandits.
Wait, why do you know them?
Are you helping them?
Are you one of them?
- No.
I don't know.
Kinda.
- Max, I can't believe you did this.
And to your own friends.
- Well, I tried to stop them.
After I gave them the idea, got them backstage,
distracted Gideon, loaded all their equipment.
What have I done?
- You messed up, as usual.
Now just stay out of my way so I can finally catch these girls.
- No, wait.
I'm going with you.
Right after I pop this bad boy back in.
Oh.
Help me, just pop it, come on.
Ah!
- I'm never doing that again.
Isn't the Billy a great kid?
Who don't want to play with him?
- Sounds like you know him pretty well.
It's almost like we're the same boy.
Excusé, I need to go bathroom.
- So, how do you guys like Luigi?
- He sure does go to the bathroom a lot.
- Well, as they say in Italy, tiny bladder, huge heart.
I'll go check on him.
- Do you see what's going on here?
- Billy is Luigi.
- I think we hurt his feelings
because we've been playing together so much without him.
- A cookie will fix it.
- Oh, that's so sweet.
- No, for me.
- So, Luigi, do you have a little sister?
No, I just got my friend Billy.
- I love my little sister Chloe.
And just because I like to play with her
doesn't mean I don't like playing with Billy, too.
He's my best friend.
I hope he knows that.
Really?
That touches Luigi's huge heart.
I'm gonna go tell Billy right now.
Excusé.
- For being a good sister.
I found it like that.
- Thanks.
Now who wants to go play laser tag?
- BOTH: Me!
- MAN ON TV: Coming up next,
the final episode that changes everything.
- Barb, we earned this.
- BILLY: You hit mom and dad!
Run!
- Thinking we should check on the kids.
- Don't quit on me now, Barb.
- *
I don't get it.
The tracks led here.
I'm sure of it.
- Look for anything unusual.
In an evil lair, nothing is as it seems.
- Ha.
What do you think this dead possum really is?
Dead possum.
- Ah!
- Check this out.
This looks like an old computer.
But I bet if I just push--
- PHOEBE: You did it!
Cherry's laptop.
Uh, and look at all this stuff.
- You mean, look at all our stuff.
- We're taking you bandits down.
- But, first, we're taking you up.
Max, we can't use our powers
and risk being exposed.
We have to fight fair.
But they probably won't.
- Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, ah!
- *
- You're mine, pretty boy.
- Eraser clap!
- *
- Okay, this is officially
the weirdest fight I've ever been in.
- Ha!
- Ow!
- *
- So...these are your new friends, huh?
- No.
I don't know.
Kind of.
- *
- Dude, sweet-aches!
Our stuff!
We thought it was stolen.
- It was.
But Max and I got it back.
- I had to do something
to make up for bailing on you guys.
Look, I'm sorry.
You guys are my friends, and I threw it away.
I don't deserve you or this strap.
- Well...Wolfgang did stay up all night
sewing your name on it.
- Ugh, Wolfgang.
- Don't be modest, Wolfgang, your stitching is flawless.
But since we can't return it, you might as well keep it.
- Why are we playing these games?
We want you back in the band, Max!
- Thanks, guys.
Best-in friend-zins.
- Max is back!
- And I believe this belongs to you.
Oh my gosh, you did it!
I have my own private superhero.
Did you by any chance find my shark on a stick?
- *
- Yep.
And they're good.
- Hate to admit it, but if we want to beat them,
we're gonna need some flair.
- I think Cherry and I can help you with that.
Have you boys ever heard of GWAM?
