Previously on Lightning Point.

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

It's getting hot. We should hydrate.

I just thought of something. The plasma card is a cloaking device.

The boat could have been in a pain field the whole time.

Come on.

I'll hide until we figure out what to do.

Don't want you to be scared ever again.

What's going on?

Nothing much. I thought you guys might be hungry.

Wait, you cooked?

Yeah. Are you feeling okay?

Never better.

What?

This wouldn't have anything to do with a certain local surfer, would it?

The same one you were seeing kissing the other night?

I woke up hungry.

That's so... Whoa!

You in here, Luca?

Come on, man. Let's go.

What's the hurry?

School.

No hurry.

Zoe!

Isn't it?

I don't know what you're talking about. You're catching up with her before

class, aren't you?

So what?

Okay, uh, okay, just give me a sec.

Two minutes max.

or I'm leaving without you

we

know mitochondria are

the powerhouses of every human cell.

And as such, they're vital to... Zoe?

What process are mitochondria vital to?

Um... That would be energy production, sir, as well as regulation of cellular

metabolism. The process of creating cell energy occurs in the matrix of the

mitochondria when food molecules are combined with oxygen and digested.

Thanks, Zoe.

Madison.

Sir?

What is the name of the main unit of energy produced by mitochondria?

That would be... ATP.

I don't know, sir.

It's very disappointing, Madison.

Perhaps if you studied rather than practising your 360s for the next surf

championship, you'd be able to give me an answer.

Hey, next time, keep your pathetic suggestions to yourself.

I was only trying to help. Well, don't. You're the last person on Earth I need

any help from.

Ignore her.

She's just jealous.

Of what?

You, us, everything.

Come on, let me bow your teeth.

I've had a brainwave to help with your technique.

Sounds interesting.

I can film you surfing, so we can slow down your movements and analyse them

frame by frame. Then you can target any techniques you're not happy with.

Sounds good?

Sounds great.

Are you sure you want to bother?

Can't think of anything I'd rather be doing.

Come by in the morning, we'll hit the beach.

It's a date.

You and Brandon.

Me and Brandon what?

Come on. I just want to know if you two have caused any more earth tremors.

Like, the other night?

Is that a yes?

No, it's not.

We've just seen each other at school and here.

So, no butterflies?

Okay, okay.

Brandon nearly found that lighthouse toy this morning.

Really?

But he didn't actually see it.

No, but it was close.

You'll have to be more careful.

I've hidden it now.

But we found it on the boat that Brandon's parents were abducted on.

Don't you think he has the right to know about it?

We don't know whether the toy had anything to do with what happened to his

parents. I think we should give it to him.

Well, I don't.

It belongs to him, Amber.

Okay, great.

Give it to him.

And don't forget to tell him you found it in a secret hatch.

In fact, why not tell him Kiki and Zoe are aliens while you're at it? I'm with

Luca.

It's just a toy and it belongs to Brandon.

We should give it to him.

You can't be serious.

What harm can it do? At worst, we're giving Brandon a little piece of his

parents. Wow, this love thing's really got your wiring all messed up, Zoe. It's

nothing to do with that.

Really?

Because the old Zoe would have been extra careful about handing over any

object she didn't fully understand.

Especially when the object in question has been decoded by alien powers.

Where did you get this?

From your boat.

That's not possible. I checked the boat from top to bottom.

Yeah, it was sort of jammed in a tight spot near the bulkhead.

Hard to see.

I was going to mention it to you this morning, but you were in a hurry to go

and... It's okay.

I've got it now.

You think it used to be yours?

Like when your parents... You know.

I don't know.

Maybe.

I'm sorry, I should have told you about this earlier.

It's cool.

I thought you didn't care what you do.

No problem.

We agreed. Relax, Amber.

I didn't give it to him. He found it without any help from me.

What did he say?

Did he ask where he found it?

Did it mean anything to him?

He didn't really say anything.

I just told him I found it in a tight spot in the boat.

Did he buy it?

I can be very convincing, Amber.

He bought it.

I think it's a good thing.

Just a toy, after all.

Probably one his parents gave him.

Now he's got his own special link to them.

Thank you.

Brandon? Brandon?

Hey. You scared me.

Why so jumpy?

It's okay, I don't bite.

So, we ready to hit the waves?

We sure are.

Camera's charged and ready to go.

Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you wouldn't rather just go

surfing? Zoe, stop stressing.

This was my idea, remember?

Come on, let's go.

Hey.

You must have been up early. I didn't even hear you get up.

Normally it's like a herd of elephants.

You can talk.

If you must know, I was working here till late.

Must have fallen asleep in here.

We're hitting the waves.

Catch you later. Yep.

Later.

I'm going in.

You really carved it up out there.

Sure. I'm serious.

That aerial was perfect.

You're a good teacher. Is that what you're getting at?

Maybe. But you're the one riding the waves.

So, you're officially Brandon's new it girl.

Yeah, except I have this whole identity of my own thing going on, so that's not

a very accurate description.

Touchy.

Give it a rest, Liam.

Don't be like that, Brandon.

As though he deserves a heads up, don't you think?

I've known this guy since before he could pop up on a board.

I'll give you a tip.

Don't out-surf him.

Whatever you do.

Liam, shut up, will you?

She doesn't need your advice.

It's so prickly.

Whatever.

What's her problem?

Here we go.

Forget Liam.

I have.

Good.

He's just messing around.

Sometimes he takes it too far.

It's fine. Really.

So, are you ready to hit the surf around too?

Unless you think I'm good enough already.

Actually, I think I've got enough footage for now.

Great. Let's go check it out.

Maybe later.

I've got a couple of things I want to do.

Okay.

Why don't you give me a call later on?

Sure.

Look up.

This is going to sound crazy, but I need to tell you.

Did you notice anything about that lighthouse?

Uh, it's a kid's toy.

Did you notice anything weird?

Like what?

Like this?

What is that?

I don't know, but it came out of the lighthouse.

Came out?

Yeah, and it zapped me.

Zapped you?

Yeah, with this really bright light. It knocked me out.

Remember how I said I was flipped in here last night?

That's because I was out cold.

Are you sure about this?

I wouldn't make something like this up.

Are you sure you're okay? You didn't get hurt?

Hurt, no.

Affected, yeah.

I've got powers, Luca.

I can make things happen.

I can make things move.

Watch.

This is unbelievable.

Tell me about it.

It's some sort of alien technology.

Who knows what this thing could do?

This is what we've been waiting for, Luca.

We need to learn how to use it.

It doesn't come with a user manual. You don't know what you're messing with. I'd

rather mess with them than have them mess with me.

I can use this card, Luca.

Use it and master it.

And then I can use their own powers against them.

So, how was the surf lesson with Brandon?

Yeah, it was good.

I'm seeing him later to go over the footage he shot.

Sounds like everything's going smoothly.

Absolutely.

I don't know, I just feel... Nervous?

No.

Vulnerable?

No. Butterfly?

Happy.

I feel happy.

That's great, Zoe.

Yeah, that's great to hear.

And when we kiss... Wait.

You kiss with other people around.

What about the shaking?

No, nothing.

I had it totally under control.

Hey, what's up?

Nothing. You said to call later.

Ah, right.

We were going to watch the footage together.

Footage? Yeah, of me surfing.

Oh, that.

Listen, I've been a bit distracted and I haven't had time to download it yet.

Maybe I'll come by later then?

Brandon? Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's great.

I'll talk to you later.

Yeah, sure.

You okay, Zoe?

Yeah, fine.

Brandon's busy. Is that cool?

Busy with what?

He didn't say.

It's fine.

I'm okay with it.

He's allowed to be busy.

We all get busy sometimes.

No big deal.

See you guys later.

I know you're worried, but maybe she can handle Brandon.

Brandon specialises in making girls feel extreme emotion.

How can he be so sure Zoe won't be one of them?

Nice shot.

Should try and say cheese next time.

Listen, I've been thinking about that black card thing you found.

I think we should tell someone.

Yeah, right.

So they can call the funny farm and have us committed.

You know as well as I do that no one believes us.

What about Amber and the girls?

They've been a part of this whole alien hunt thing too.

They deserve to know. No, they don't.

I need to find out what happened to me and my parents.

This is my call. I don't want anybody to know anything.

Not even Zoe? No, nobody.

Promise me you won't tell anybody.

Okay.

Promise me. I promise I won't tell anybody.

Won't tell anybody what?

Nothing. Guy stuff.

Yeah, nothing interesting.

You heading out to catch some waves?

Yeah, I just thought I'd see if you want to come.

If you're not too busy, of course.

I've got all the time in the world.
