Previously on Lightning Point.

It's a giant crop circle. What if somebody sees it? Unless someone flies

directly over it. She knows something.

You've got to talk to her. We broke up, remember?

I wouldn't be interested in Brandon if he was the last guy on Earth.

I was hoping you and me could be more than just friends.

Have you been messing around in the back cane field? No. What?

Your little friends have been here.

What more proof do you need?

There's alien activity in Lightning Point, Amber.

That's the only thing that could explain this.

Really?

You got another theory?

Name one thing that could have done that.

Look at the scale of it.

Maybe it was some sort of weather phenomenon.

No. No, this is real.

You don't believe me, do you?

It's not that I don't believe you.

I'm just... Worried. About what?

Let's say you're wrong. I'm not.

Work with me.

Let's say the symbols, the storm, all of it's just a coincidence.

Nature doing what nature does best.

You'll be devastated.

I don't want that for you.

Let's say you're right.

Say there are aliens.

Who says they'll be friendly?

Who says they won't stick a straw through your skull and suck your brains

out?

Unlikely.

But you see my point.

The possibility of a good outcome, regardless of whether you're right or

wrong, is pretty slim.

Wow.

That's what I love about you, Amber.

Your positivity.

I wouldn't be doing my job as your oldest friend in the world if I didn't

try and look out for you.

Well, you've got nothing to worry about.

I'll be fine.

Everything is going to work out, you'll see.

Even Brandon believes me now.

But he wants answers as much as I do.

And you really think he won't blab about it?

I told you, I swore him to secrecy. I don't want anybody finding out about

this until I figure out what the message is.

Message? These symbols are a form of communication.

I'm going to work it out. Something or someone is reaching out to us.

I'll make a believer out of you yet.

He'll say.

So, Lucas found out that it's the message.

He's pretty determined.

But he doesn't understand lumen and symbols, so there's no need to worry.

We need to stay a step ahead of him, anticipate his next move and be there to

block it.

But how?

We could try and clear the whole cane field.

Won't that attract more attention to it if all the crop disappears?

Then we should... Try to mess with the video files.

Corrupt them or delete them.

This is Luca we're talking about.

He'll make 5,000 backups by now.

Maybe we should just come clean.

He's a nice guy.

Lucas spent his life working on Alien Theory.

If he finds out about you two, it won't stop there.

He's helped Brandon already.

Just the guy I wanted to see.

Hi, I'm Anderson.

I was just on my... Wondering what to do for Brandon's birthday?

It's today.

Oh, no.

I got him a present.

Then I don't want you to worry about a thing. No.

Because I got it all sorted.

Oh, got what sorted?

The party's killing.

For Brandon.

You do want him to have the best possible birthday, don't you?

I guess.

Good. It'll be a joint effort between the three of us. You just told me I

don't need to worry about a thing. That's the figure of speech.

So, you're in?

Actually, I've got a couple of things on at the moment. But you've only got one

brother.

Am I right?

Thanks for the invite, yeah. I'm in. Great.

I'll see you at the hall at four.

You invited people already?

Don't trust Luca.

I made some lists, separated into categories.

Food, drinks, decorations, and where to pick the cake up from.

You take care of that, and I'll look after everything else.

What else is there?

Don't be like that.

Delegation is a special skill, and one I happen to excel at.

Who else have you invited?

It's all sorted. See? Right there.

These are all your friends.

That's right.

But it's Brandon's party.

Luca, Brandon and I move in the same circle.

My friends are his friends.

There are some names missing.

No, there aren't. I covered everyone.

No, you didn't.

Kiki.

Luca, don't even think about it.

Are you busy later on?

I'm having a party for Brandon.

Local hall at 4pm.

Sounds fun. Great.

Can you pass the invitation on to Amber and Zoe?

Sure.

Brandon and I move in the same circles, Madison.

My friends are his friends.

We definitely shouldn't go.

I don't even like Brandon.

More importantly, we should be working on what the symbol really means.

I think we should go.

Just to keep an eye on them.

And when you say them, you mean Luca, right?

I don't know what you're talking about. Come on, Kiki. I know you want to be

with Luca as much as possible.

I just want to make sure he doesn't blab about the symbol.

That's all.

Kiki, things have changed.

Luca is really fired up. We can't risk giving him even more evidence. I won't.

She's right, Kiki.

The last thing we need is for you to light up like a shooting star when Luke

comes near you.

It'll be a bit of a giveaway, don't you think?

I told you I'll get it under control.

Come on!

It'll be a great party!

Play alcohol.

So, what do you think? You didn't have to do all this.

Throw a good party, Brandon. You know it, I know it. Come on, let's dance.

I don't feel like dancing.

Please, this is our song. We don't have a song.

Then, let's get one.

Maybe later.

Glad to come.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Hey. Hey.

You look great.

Thanks. You do too.

Would you like sausage?

Howdy. Oh,

you should have gone before we left, Piper.

Toys went off lead.

You're making me look bad here.

Come, girl, let's go.

Piper, you think this is acceptable dog short behavior?

Piper, will you knock it off?

Listen, I was at the cane field earlier.

Yeah? Any particular reason?

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Like what?

There is some large symbol carved into the cane.

Really?

You don't know anything about it.

Well, I mean... Luca, if you do, I need you to say so.

Well, I wouldn't know at the start.

Hey, Dr. Mitchell.

Brandon.

Sergeant Mitchell wants to know about the cane field.

Come on, bro. Time to fess up.

Oh.

You want me to tell her?

Okay, fine.

We took Dad's harvester for a spin yesterday.

We got a little carried away on the cane field. So you made those symbols?

Looks great, doesn't it? Since when have you been able to operate a harvester?

Oh, not me.

Brandon. It's pretty simple, really. It can be programmed to make any shape.

You want me to take you for a ride?

Thanks, but I'll park.

Are we in any kind of trouble?

No.

No, you're not in trouble. It's just that I thought that perhaps... What?

That aliens did it?

Does your father know about this?

Yeah. He's cool with it.

Okay.

Thanks for your time.

Sorry to interrupt the party.

What do you think she knows?

I'd better find out.

Mum, wait!

Is everything okay?

Just the boys playing a prank in the cane field.

You know Brandon, always looking for a thrill. You didn't have anything to do

with it, did you? You were asking me about that cane field the other day.

Me? No way.

Mum, be serious.

Can you really see me joyriding around some stupid cane field on a piece of

farm machinery?

Alright. Anyway, I've got to get going.

Have fun.

Want to dance?

No, thanks.

Turn her down the birthday boy.

I don't dance.

I might want to make an exception.

You see, it's custom around here.

It's my birthday, so I get to pick a dance partner.

So pick someone else.

Too late, I chose you.

And according to this custom, you can't refuse.

Sounds like a stupid custom.

Yeah, but in this case it works in my favour.

Are you serious?

It's really a custom?

Would I lie?

Come on.

This isn't so bad, is it?

Interesting.

Just needs some fresh air.

What was that?

Maybe you should tell your little friend to be careful who she dances with.

Brandon, he's mine, Amber.

Is my dancing that bad?

No.

Are you having an okay time at the party?

I want to say yes, Brandon, but I just... Yeah?

I don't know.

I don't feel like I belong here.

Me neither.

Yeah, right?

It's your party.

Your own friends and family.

You're lucky you have a brother who goes to so much trouble.

Luca and I aren't really brothers.

Not blood brothers, anyway.

Then what are you?

I'm adopted.

My parents died in an accident when I was a little kid.

I'm sorry.

Don't get me wrong. I'm lucky to have such a great family. But like you said,

sometimes I feel like I don't fit in.

You seem to fit in just fine.

I don't do feelings very well, so...

Just easier to pretend.

I guess we have more in common than I thought.

I misjudged you.

That's okay. Everybody does.

For what it's worth, I like this Brandon much better than tough surfer guy.

Really? Yeah.

Really.

Brandon, I... Sorry, I should have... I better go.

So, what's going on with you and Brandon?

What do you mean?

He hasn't taken his eyes off you for the last hour.

Doesn't have anything to do with him following you outside earlier, does it?

No.

We were just talking.

About what?

It doesn't matter.

You tell me.

You seem a little defensive.

That's because you're interrogating me. Hey, I'm just asking.

Let it go.

There's nothing to tell.

Hey.

Hey.

Do you want some punch?

Are we okay?

What do you mean?

I just get the feeling there's something not quite right between us.

You've been busy.

I've been busy.

I've just been... Busy.

I miss you, Kiki.

I miss hanging out with you. I miss joking around with you. And... I

still wish we could be more than just friends.

Who?

I wish things were different, Luca, but... Come on.

I need to show you something.

Zoe, look, I'm really sorry. It's okay.

Thank you, three.

I didn't mean to freak you out.

You didn't? I mean, yeah.

I know you didn't.

It's all good. Don't worry about it.

So, friend?

Yeah, friend.

No problem.

Happy birthday, Brandon.

Three cheers for the birthday boy.

No, Madison, don't. Hip, hip.

Hooray! Hip, hip. Hooray!

Hip, hip.

Hooray!

Go ahead, make a wish.

Don't tell anyone what we wish for, or it might not come true.

Thanks, Maddy, for going to all this trouble.

No trouble.

You know how special you are to me.

I care for you too, but as a friend, that's all.

We're not together anymore.

I just thought... Anyway, enjoy the cake.

Chocolate, my favourite.

Are you sure we should be out here?

Come on, let's go back.

Trust me, Kiki, you're going to want to see this. It'll blow your mind.

See?

Amazing.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, it is.

It was blown away when I first saw it too.

I just... I wanted to share it with you.

Thanks.

Do you know how incredible it is to look for something your entire life?

You'll find it right under your nose.

And I don't just mean symbols.

I made everybody's favourite.

Hot chocolate will be ready in a minute.

You're in a good mood.

We didn't have anything to do with a certain encounter with Luca, would we?

You could say that.

Then you were with Luca.

So what if I was?

I'm just worried about you.

All it'll take is one little glow and he'll know he's dating an alien.

I told you.

I've got it under control.

If you must know, he kissed me.

He what?

I've got it sorted.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

I hope so.

For all our sakes.

It's not just Luca we have to worry about.

Mum knows about the symbol now.

But Brandon explained that. Yeah, but Mum's got the whole foolproof mother

radar thing going.

She doesn't buy it when I make stuff up and I doubt she'll buy Brandon's cover

up either.

He really kissed you?

Wasn't that a bit weird?

No. That whole mouth, mouth thing?

Actually, it felt kind of good.

Ah, too much information.
