- [indistinct chatter]
- Hey, Max, did you finally get your guitar strap fixed?
- Yep, fixed it myself.
Check it out.
Sock and roll!
- *
- [speaking foreign language]
- 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.
- You're the Toilet Crier?
- [gasps] 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.
- What am I gonna do?
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.
- What? 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!
- [laughs] 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.
- What?
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.
- And now you're cleaning up?
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?
- BOTH: [gasps]
"Real Super Wives of Metroburgh"!
- [laughs] 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.
- Forgot about me?
- 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.
- Well, you know what?
I can have fun without you, too.
I'm gonna go play with my other friend.
- Oh. Who's that?
- Who's that?
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.
- Who are you talking to?
- 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.
- You mean Brushy Brows Jones?
- 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!
- So you girls wanna hang out?
- 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.
- Why not?
You're our friend.
- [in German accent] Best-in friend-zins.
- Oh, no hugs.
And not best-in friend-zins.
We're just a band.
- [in German accent] Ouch.
- Just a band?
- 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 about the talent show?
What just happened?
- [crying] 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.
- MAX'S MIND: What am I saying?
- Great.
Bring him over tomorrow.
- Sure, what time?
- MAX'S MIND: Why can't I stop?
- How 'bout 4 o'clock?
- 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.
- What are we gonna do?
- 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.
- See that band up there?
We're gonna steal that popcorn cart behind them.
[laughs]
- For a second I thought you were gonna say
we're stealing all their equipment.
[laughs]
- 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.
- How is your grandpa?
- 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.
- Hey, did you just say girls?
- 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.
- Magic? 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.
[giggles]
- What?
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.
- [knocking at door]
- [in Italian accent] 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.
- What is that?
- A new guitar strap.
Oh.
"To Max, you're low on cash, but you're not low on friends."
- Pfh, nerd love.
- [giggles]
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.
- You know what?
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?
[gasps] Are you helping them?
[gasps] 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.
- [in Italian accent] Isn't the Billy a great kid?
Who don't want to play with him?
- Sounds like you know him pretty well.
- [in Italian accent] 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?
- [in Italian accent] 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.
- [without accent] Really?
[in Italian accent] That touches Luigi's huge heart.
I'm gonna go tell Billy right now.
Excusé.
- What's this for?
- For being a good sister.
- Cookie, Billy?
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.
- [laser buzzing]
- [snap]
- BILLY: You hit mom and dad!
Run!
- Thinking we should check on the kids.
- Don't quit on me now, Barb.
- *
- What?
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?
- [sniffs] 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.
- [whispers] 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!
- [grunting]
- *
- 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?
[crying] We want you back in the band, Max!
- Thanks, guys.
Best-in friend-zins.
- Max is back!
- And I believe this belongs to you.
- [gasps] Oh my gosh, you did it!
I have my own private superhero.
Did you by any chance find my shark on a stick?
- *
- Wait, do we go up after them?
- 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?
- *
