Previously, on Lightning Point.

Dad! Hey, gorgeous!

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

The ticket to Hawaii?

I want you to come live with me.

We can't stand in Amber's way.

It's mine.

The boat.

Belonged to my parents.

What do you want with this thing? I want to know why it showed up. What's going

on? We were... leaving.

I'm going to love living in Hawaii with you.

But not right now.

Wish I could stay longer.

Can't miss training.

Well, maybe I could.

Just this once.

And if Coach found out you bailed, you could hang with me.

He'd make me pay. Big time.

Exactly. I'm not going to be responsible for causing you pain and suffering.

You could never do that.

Go. You'll be late.

Call you later.

You know what, Zoe?

Life is really good.

Yeah, when we're not being chased by alien hunters.

Earth's a great place to live.

What's not to like about this planet?

You've got the sun, the surf and the sand, and you've got awesome friends.

All true.

Let me guess.

Your good mood wouldn't happen to have anything to do with a certain basketball

player? I like Josh.

I like him a lot, but if Josh was my boyfriend, he'd be coming around a

lot more.

That could be risky.

I don't want to do anything that would expose you or Kiki, so I've decided that

Josh and I are just going to be good friends.

Brandon?

You in there?

Find anything?

No.

I've gone over the whole boat.

If my parents were ever on board, they didn't leave anything personal behind.

It could belong to anybody.

Hey, don't beat yourself up over it.

I don't even know what I'm looking for.

Maybe there's nothing to find.

I've got to get out of here.

Hey!

What are you wasting the waves for?

Just taking a break.

Relaxing's not going to make you a better surfer.

I've been surfing all morning.

If you want to pretend you can coach me, you should get here on time. Does this

mean you want me to give you some more tips? Okay.

I'm off.

Catch you two later.

So you're finally giving in and listening to reason.

I don't think it's reasonable for you to assume you can teach me anything I don't

already know. Well, why don't we just see about that?

Brandon turned that boat inside out this morning.

Didn't find a thing.

I didn't either.

I don't get it. His parents go out on a boat, then disappear into thin air.

How?

Why? I don't know.

Then that same boat ends up in the middle of a cane foot. What's that

about? Which I knew. And why would anyone put it there?

Sorry, I always think you have all the answers.

I get off in a few minutes.

Talk about it then.

One more thing.

What?

Did you bring it?

the break now.

All my coaching's starting to pay off. Of course it has nothing to do with me.

You'd carve a lot better if you paid attention to what your arms were doing.

There's nothing wrong with my arms.

Come on.

Do we have to do this again?

Trust me, just get on the board.

You need to throw your shoulders into it a bit more.

Like this.

Should also be looser in the hip.

Turn them and your arms together.

It's getting hot.

You should hydrate.

Hydrate.

Thanks.

So how did you get so good at surfing?

Easy. You need pure talent, which I have.

Serious? Did your parents teach you?

Earliest memory I have was Dad taking me out on the boogie board.

It must have been about, I don't know, four or five, something like that.

What about your mother? Did she say?

From what I've been told, she was pretty good.

But she wasn't a local like my Dad.

Where was she from then?

I don't know.

No one seems to know.

With two talented parents, you couldn't possibly fail.

Did you just admit that you think I'm good?

I did. It was a terrible mistake.

Did it bother you, not remembering much about your parents?

It didn't used to.

But now with the boat back, I really want to know what happened to them.

Awesome. We can see this.

This is our database.

Who needs a keyboard and mouse?

Just the basic stuff.

It's a complete chart to your solar system.

It can even fly a spaceship.

Well, when we've got one.

How does the CPU work?

And the microprocessors? Or are you using nano?

Actually, it's a little more complicated than that.

It's amazing.

It can calibrate and monitor energy levels.

It's also how we recharge.

So, show me what else this baby can do.

How come you never talk about your family?

There's not much to tell.

Has to be something.

You've lived with them your whole life, haven't you?

Actually, I've never lived with them.

Why?

When I was young, I was sent away to start my education.

Like to a boarding school?

Something like that.

Sorry to hear that.

It's just the way we do things where I come from.

My parents are busy people.

You know, we're not that different, you and me.

I never knew my real parents.

You don't know yours.

We're different.

Yeah, I guess when it comes to your parents, they weren't abducted by

aliens.

Why would aliens abduct your parents?

I don't know. I just have this feeling.

That's your proof?

A feeling?

Fine, don't believe me.

How do you know your parents didn't just take off? Maybe they wanted to explore

the world or something.

What? And leave me behind?

I didn't mean that. I know my parents were taken by aliens.

And I'm not stopping until I find out what happened to them.

Um, that assignment's due tomorrow.

Relax.

Too easy.

Not really.

It's taken centuries to develop the technology.

How's it done?

Did they find some way to bend light waves around an object?

Electromagnetic frequencies from a... Hello?

What are you guys up to?

Nothing. Can you believe this?

The plasma card is a cloaking device.

Just what you always wanted.

So you're using your technology to impress Blooper.

Don't worry, your secret's safe. I won't tell Zoe.

Oh, I just thought of something.

The card. Could it hide something bigger?

Like a boat?

It hid a spaceship.

So the boat could have been in the cane field the whole time.

Yeah.

Maybe we should bring it back now.

Yeah, I'd have trouble explaining this one to Brandon.

Could that be happening?

I've never seen the car do that before.

Come on.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

You got a better one?

You don't know what's waiting down there.

If it's some scaly extraterrestrial relation to the Tyrannosaurus wreck, you

have my permission to come and get me.

Just a kid's toy.

Then why was it hidden by alien technology?

I think whoever put it there meant to protect it.

Brandon's parents could have left it behind for him.

So it's been there all this time.

The plasma card must have uncooked it.

It looks like the lightning point lighthouse.

I should show it to Brandon.

He might remember something about it.

Bad idea.

How do you explain how we found it?

Easy, I'll just tell him...

Yeah, okay, it's too hard to explain.

You can't tell him how we found it without telling him who Kiki and Zoe

really are. Well, I can't lie to him either. He deserves to know the truth.

This is all too hard.

Let's put it back where we found it. What would that achieve?

We can't just leave it lying around.

Well, hide it until we figure out what to do.

You don't need to.

I can cloak it.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Stand back.

It's still there.

Yeah. Thanks, Captain Avius.

That's never happened before.

Maybe the cart malfunctioned.

That's not possible.

It's been working perfectly.

Did you do anything differently?

No. Try again.

It can't be cloaked.

It's been shielded somehow.

Why?

It was meant to be found.

In that case, I have to give it to Brandon. No.

Not until we know what we're dealing with.

But it's his.

This is nothing like anything I've ever seen.

It's powerful technology, Luca.

We have to be careful.

For Brandon's sake.

Can I join you?

Sure. Take a seat.

What I said before about your parents, I didn't mean to upset

you.

The way I was brought up, it...

Makes me the way I am.

I don't feel things the way other people feel things.

Okay, let's face it.

I say things without thinking.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

What I said was pretty wild.

Here I am talking about alien abduction.

No wonder you think I'm crazy.

You're not crazy.

You just want to find out what happened to your parents.

When you first came to town, you acted like nothing got to you at all.

But underneath it all, you really care about people.

Do I really?

Yeah, you do.

And that's great, because I like that girl.

I liked her a lot.

I gotta go.

Zoe.

We're going to have to tell Zoe what happened.

She won't like it.

We have no choice.

Guess not, but maybe you should leave out the part where you're showing off

the card to Luke's car.

Oops, suppose you heard that. What?

I saw Lou here today.

I used the plasma card to show him how to cloak objects.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm fine.

That's why you're all sweaty and out of breath.

Have you been running?

Did someone chase you?

So you were running for no reason at all.

Does that make sense?

You look scared.

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

Brandon tried to kiss me.

Dude, I can't believe I'm doing this.

But I need some advice.

From me?

Crazy, I know.

It's about Zoe.

I just don't get her.

What'd you do?

I tried to kiss her.

But then get this, you ran away.

That never happens to me.

It's not funny.

I don't understand.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. Zoe's just...

It's different.

That's all.

I know.

That's why I like her so much.

She's not like all the other girls.

She's definitely not.

What if I've blown it?

What if she doesn't want to see me anymore?

There's only one way to find out.

Physical contact with a human.

Is it supposed to feel strange?

What do you mean?

When Brandon tried to kiss me, I couldn't breathe.

And my heart was beating so fast he thought it was going to explode.

Yeah.

That's what happened.

That's how it's supposed to feel.

It's called chemistry.

But this is normal.

Yep. You're a human.

You must really like him.

Ooh, looking good.

How was your day, girls?

Anything interesting happen?

No. Not really.

Zoe?

Yeah?

Ballot.

I'll get that.

Do you want some help, Zoe?

Hmm? Help.

With the salad.

She's fine, aren't you, Zoe?

I'm fine.

See?

So, Mum, you must be exhausted.

Why don't you sit down and relax and I'll bring you a nice cold... Brandon!

Hi, all. Brandon.

Sorry to come at dinner time.

That's all right. Can we do anything for you?

Zoe... Can I talk to you for a minute?

Nothing much happened, huh?

Listen.

About this afternoon.

I'm sorry if I was moving too fast.

You move at a normal speed as far as I can tell.

I'm talking about what happened at the beach.

It's just that... I really like you.

I'm sorry if I upset you.

I didn't mean to.

I just got a bit scared.

I can't believe he came over here.

He never has before.

What do you think he's saying?

All the things he wants to hear.

I don't want you to be scared ever again.
