Previously on Lightning Point.

Okay, that one.

That board was a birthday present from my dad.

What does it look like I'm doing? I'm working.

Next time you're out there, do me a favour and keep out of my way.

Amber told me if I get angry I should count to ten. I don't get angry.

I have complete problems.

We'll keep working on the camp.

I don't get it.

What does she want?

She wants to bat.

Bat what?

Who knows? I don't speak dog.

You haven't taught her your language?

I'm guessing animals on Lumina are a lot different from here.

We don't have animals.

I'm guessing you don't have dishwashers either.

What makes you think that?

Well, someone doesn't know how to load them. If you mean the someone who made

that mess, that was Kiki.

And on Lumina, we have a device that does that for us.

Yeah, we've got one here too.

It's called Amber.

Hi.

I'm Kiki.

A friend.

Are you hungry?

I got some cookies.

I baked them for Luca, but he won't mind.

Here.

Hey,

whoa. Hey, calm down, boy. Get back.

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Calm down, boy.

Be calm, boy.

Luca, don't let anyone near Bandit again.

Why was he so upset?

I was just trying to be friendly.

He didn't know that.

I offered him a cookie.

Horses don't really do cookies.

Especially that one.

He's crazy.

No, he's not.

Something just spooked him in the storm, that's all. That storm was weeks ago.

And he's still off his head.

That's not spooked. That's crazy. He's not crazy.

Then he's just dangerous.

It's my fault.

I probably frightened him.

No, you didn't.

I promised not to bring him any more cookies.

You really thought he'd go for them? We don't have that many horses where I come

from. Right.

Well, they kind of go for apples rather than cookies.

You definitely think it was that storm that upset him.

The weirdest thing is, storms never worried him before.

There was just something strange about that one.

If it keeps going like this, Brandon's right.

He's going to have to go.

Amber, remember I'm on early shift this week, which means you'll be on chores.

Yes, including the washing.

First thing so it's got all day to dry.

But I'm running a junior staff class in the morning. Well, then you're going to

have to delegate.

I'm just taking Piper for a walk.

Ask Kiki and Zoe for some help.

I don't think housework's their thing. I'm sure they won't mind.

Ah. Ebony needs someone to lend her a hand.

What with?

Nothing.

Okay.

The housework.

I can do that. What button do I push?

You don't just push a button. You actually have to do it. I happen to be

very handy.

I put my sister's warp drive together for her in one afternoon.

And trust me, the instructions weren't much help.

Whatever.

You don't think I can do it? I'm not saying that. I'm just saying you don't

know how everything here on Earth works.

You mean your cleaning devices?

I'm sure I can work them out.

How hard can they be?

What? Because humans can work them.

Like me.

Yeah.

Okay.

You want it?

Go for it.

Why are they interested in quadrupeds?

They're called horses.

And I think we may have hurt one the night we arrived from Lumina. Ah.

I don't know.

But his energy aura has been disturbed.

You're planning something.

Whatever it is, don't.

I can't just leave him the way he is. Why not? Maybe he's happier that way.

Look, if I can connect with his aura, I could use some of my energy to

neutralise it. It should calm him down.

This would be your alien energy?

The stuff we're trying to keep secret from everyone on this planet?

I'll be careful.

Since when?

Kiki, you've got to admit, you do have a tendency to do before you think.

Like you're so careful.

Zoe, this is our fault, and I'm going to fix it.

Housework day.

What a challenge.

I'm sure you'll manage it.

I'm off.

Got things to do.

Quadruped thing?

You be careful now.

Seriously, I can put off the class if you want me to give you a hand.

Not necessary.

The washing machine can be a bit tricky.

Maybe I should show you?

It's a machine that washes.

I think I get it.

Enjoy.

I hope you like these.

It's okay.

I can help you.

Oh boy.

Good boy, Bandit.

You like that, don't you?

Good boy.

That's incredible.

I haven't seen him this calm in weeks.

Guess he likes me.

He likes me too, but I couldn't get him to chill out like this.

What did you do?

It's like you have a connection, a bond.

Since when were you a horse whisperer?

Then I should get most of the credit.

Now paddling. We do nice deep strokes in the water and we keep our head up,

looking out at the horizon.

Great. That's really good.

How's it going?

Really well.

Is the washing machine supposed to catch fire?

What?

I'm kidding.

Everything's fine. Have a good morning.

Okay, that's great. Now, standing up on our boards.

It's amazing to have him back.

Haven't been able to do that with him for weeks.

It looks like so much fun.

It is.

Maybe you could teach me.

Sure.

What, right now?

Ready?

Right in both hands?

Like this?

Yep. Very natural.

Remember your posture, like I showed you.

So how am I doing?

Doing way better than I did when I first started. First time I got on a horse, I

cried when I realised it wasn't a seatbelt.

Where did you come from where you don't have horses?

The city?

Uh, yeah.

A really big city.

It's a long way away.

So you've travelled a lot?

You could definitely say that.

Do you think I could ride on my own now?

I don't know.

Come on.

I've done everything right so far, haven't I?

Okay.

Really, really careful, okay?

Don't be nervous.

Stick your heels in.

Come on.

That's it.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

I'm fine.

I said don't be nervous.

Still not finished.

Could these things be any more primitive?

I'm not checking up on you. I just want to... What's that noise?

Noise? What noise?

Zoe, is everything okay?

Sure.

Anyway, I've got a house to finish cleaning.

Catch you later.

Ancient technology.

All of you, stop!

Fine. Have it your way.

Stop!

Guys, that's going to have to be enough for today.

But we didn't even get in the water.

I've really got to go. We'll do water next week.

You two have a real thing going on.

Zoe's never going to believe I was able to do this.

Why don't you show her?

I'm going to grab the camera.

That'd be great.

Just keep doing what you're doing.

Kiki! Are you okay? What happened?

I'm fine.

We went for a bit of a trip.

Are you sure you're okay?

That was fantastic.

He threw her.

Fell.

Going over a jump because he wouldn't stop.

I told you that horse would hurt someone.

It was my fault.

I got excited.

I steered him towards the jump.

And that's all it took.

You've got to get rid of that thing. You can't get rid of Bandit.

Kiki, jumping takes a lot of practice. It's a combination of horse and rider.

It wasn't the jump.

It was the landing.

Bandit didn't do anything wrong.

And there was no harm done.

He couldn't hurt me.

He couldn't hurt anyone.

You're kidding yourself.

That thing's trouble.

Thank you.

What for?

He's been hassling me about Bandit for so long.

I almost started to believe him.

But look at the way he is with you.

I think he's going to be all right.

Hey boy.

What is going on?

How do you mean?

I mean, what?

did you do okay i admit i had a few technical difficulties this technology

is so primitive how do you live like this what are we going to do

All I did was supercharge their circuits a little.

Not even a major supercharge.

You couldn't have gone with no supercharge?

It was taking forever.

These machines are so lame.

All I was doing was making them more efficient.

Okay.

Possibly deserve that.

But I think we need to be mature about this.

Mature enough for you?

All done.

And thanks, Amber.

There's a lot more to this than I thought.

Hi, Mum.

How was your day? Long.

Wow.

This place looks amazing.

I've never seen it look so clean.

What's your secret?

Oh, just lots of energy.

I can't believe you rode a quadruped.

I told you.

They're called horses.

And his name is Bandit. Whatever.

I don't know what happened.

One minute, we were riding along.

And then the next, it felt like we were flying.

What was it like?

It was fantastic.

I've never felt so free in my life.

Better than surfing, huh?

Don't get me wrong.

Surfing's great.

But this... This was different.

We made some kind of connection.

You did the thing with his aura.

Even after I warned you.

If I didn't, they were going to send him away.

Don't worry, I've got everything under control.

What's under control?

Kiki's sudden passion for horse riding.

This sudden passion wouldn't have anything to do with Luca, would it?

Right, speaking of control, the washing machine seems fine, and the dishwasher,

and the vacuum cleaner too. I don't think you did any lasting damage.

Can we talk about this later? Wait a sec.

What did you do?

Nothing. Just clean the house.

Right, Amber?

Do you want me to turn the light off for you?

I can still handle a light switch.

Are you sure? The least I can do after today.

Like I said, ancient technology.
