Previously on Lightning Point. It takes lumen and DNA to activate me. Brandon is

half human, half alien.

You did what?

I entered you in the annual surfing contest.

Everybody enters and everybody loses to Madison.

Is there anything you didn't teach her?

Plenty. You can do moves she hasn't even dreamt of yet. And the winner is...

Surf wax.

So it is.

But you don't surf.

Yes, I don't surf yet.

Are you going to start?

Why not?

I learned how to surf and I could spend even more time with you.

Now, which board should I get?

Should I get one of these green ones or maybe one of these blue ones?

They're all completely different, right?

Yes, of course.

I knew that.

I was actually leaning towards, um, this one.

I cut them five foot thick straight, though.

Uh, well, maybe one of these smaller ones.

The smaller the board, the harder it is to control.

Is playing a board really this complicated?

No, it's just... You'd be better off with a bit of extra length, if anything.

Well, at least I got the wax sorted.

Yeah, if you were surfing your planet South Pole, that's cold water wax.

I was just trying to be cute with the wax.

Okay.

Mission accomplished.

Maybe something will turn out to be your hidden talent.

Something tells me no.

What's she doing here?

She's my girlfriend and she's welcome here.

Fine.

Good.

As long as she doesn't get in the way.

Quit it, Brandon!

Stop being an idiot.

Idiots can't control inanimate objects, bro.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I wouldn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Funny way of showing it.

You know, Luke, I think it might be best if I get going.

You think? Shut up, Brandon. Wait, you don't have to go.

Yeah, I do.

I'll catch up with you.

What? You know exactly what.

So cute. My brother getting upset over his little alien girlfriend. You lay

off. Or what?

I don't care to view Brandon.

Well, you should be.

Kiki!

Maybe we're responsible for Brandon.

Maybe his lumen inside would have stayed dormant if we hadn't shown up.

That kind of thinking isn't going to help anyone.

I'm really sorry, Kiki. I shouldn't have taken you there.

I told you.

It's fine.

What's wrong?

Brandon?

What did he do now?

I had to show up with a flying surfboard.

Nearly hurt Kiki.

I'm fine.

Really.

Luca, you've got to do something about him. This is getting ridiculous.

Look, it's not Brandon's fault.

Nobody's saying it is, Zoe.

It's that card. But I don't know how to stop him using it.

What I do know is he needs help.

You're out of your comfort zone, aren't you mate?

Isn't that obvious?

So, you'd be looking for a suitable board then?

Yeah. What would you recommend?

Oh, we've got a few here.

From the trusty old floater to a mini-mower.

Take your pick.

What about this one?

I guess it looks pretty good.

I'll organise a discount for you. No problem.

No, none of these are right.

I know my surfboard's kicking.

How about this?

That is my best board.

So? Top of the range.

Pricey.

Does this sound fair?

There's no way I can sell it for that.

Better make it your best price.

Otherwise we'll see what your competitors can do for us.

What she said.

I'll, um... I'll need to do some calculations.

Oh, and we'll be paying cash, so we'll expect we'll be paying out for that too.

Number one rule of shopping on Earth.

Never pay retail.

Not even for surfboards?

Especially not for surfboards.

We'll practice popping up.

Hey, guys.

Now make like you've caught a wave and you're standing up.

Watch your balance now.

You know, if you're serious about being a surfer, you're going to need some

lessons. Not with Amber, no way.

Can't you just give me some pointers?

I guess.

But you're going to need to relax.

Stand on that.

You want to do this now?

Don't worry.

By tomorrow, I'll have you looking like you were born, Seth.

he can get.

Now try again, Luca.

Don't you need? How long before I'm in the water like them?

Don't get too ahead of yourself.

Oh.

Joey?

Joey?

You okay?

Want to talk about it?

I just feel bad for Brandon.

Brandon's making his own choices.

It's not entirely true.

Like I said, if we weren't here, his lumen inside would never have been

awoken. You don't know that for sure.

Yes, I do. You can't keep on beating yourself up about something you can't

control, Zoe.

It's pointless.

That's just it.

We can control it, at least to a certain extent.

We have to work with Brandon, not against him.

We have to teach him how to control his powers.

For his own sake.

You still have feelings for him, don't you?

It has nothing to do with that.

I'll take that as a yes.

Brandon's a part Luminan.

We have to try to help him.

Okay, Liam, but I already have a better board lined up for this, so if you can't

beat that price, we walk.

Good. As long as we understand each other.

Can I meet you at the diner in about half an hour?

Great.

I'll see you then.

Do I know how to bargain, or do I know how to bargain?

I would never have picked you as the haggling type.

Me neither.

What can I say?

You taught me everything I know.

You guys want to come to the diner? Watch me close the deal?

Sounds good.

Sure.

So what's this cheaper board you've got lined up?

There is no cheaper board.

But Liam doesn't know that.

Are you a stranger?

Brennan?

Haven't seen you around for a while.

Yeah.

Are you alright?

You look sort of pale.

I'm fine.

Want a juice?

Whatever. I'll be right back with a nice wealthy juice.

Don't go anywhere.

Excuse me, you know the rules about bringing a surfboard in here.

Not leaving this outside.

Hey, Brandon.

Long time no see.

What's going on out there in the sticks?

Not much.

So you finally convinced your brother to come over to the dark side?

Oh, that's for him.

Never thought I'd see the day Luca got on a surfboard.

Does the little dude even know how to swim?

Maybe I should throw in a couple of floaties to be sure.

That was a joke, man. Lighten up.

You okay, man?

You look kind of... pale.

going on.

No, everything started shaking, and there were these weird bursts of energy.

Brandon's still inside.

Getting out of control.

They're going in. Wait, I'm coming with you.

No, girls.

I'm sorry, guys.

Nobody's going in. It's like some kind of live electricity thing going on in

there. Way too dangerous. Can somebody please call the police?

Leave me alone.

Brandon, please. I mean it. Stay away from me.

Too much energy in here.

How many times have you recharged lately?

I need to know. I don't know.

A few.

More than two?

Yeah.

Five times, maybe six.

Brandon, you've absorbed too much energy.

Even Vicky and I couldn't handle that much. Your body can't contain the extra

energy, so it starts coming out of you.

You don't know what my body can take.

You're not even human.

Neither are you.

What? What are you talking about?

You're one of us.

No.

That's ridiculous.

It's true.

It is.

Look around you.

That's from the plasma card.

It's not the card.

Humans can't use plasma cards.

The only reason you can is because you're like us.

You're lying.

No, I'm not.

Your mother was from Lumina.

You are one of us.

No. Granny, you have to believe us.

We don't have any reason to lie.

It's what you are, Brandon.

I'll have to leave you. Get away!

I should be in there.

No, let them handle it.

And leave Tiki in there with that?

Have some faith in them, Luca.

Brandon's still in there.

Can't somebody do something?

Liam, what about you?

Can't you go in there and help him?

No, everyone just cool it.

Nobody's going in. The police will be here soon.

If the police get in there, then it's all over.

We're the only ones who can help you, Brandon.

We can absorb some of your energy.

Get away from me!

Brandon.

has to trust us.

Just stay cool and step back.

Step back. Get away.

We don't know what we're dealing with here.

Whatever they are, they did this.

Get him.

They were right there.

Was anybody hurt?

Brandon, go inside.

Everybody just wait right here.

What happened here?

Brandon?

Brandon?

Are you okay?

What do you think's going on?

I wish I knew.

I thought you were toast.

Don't you worry about us, Luca.

We can handle ourselves.

I don't doubt it. I saw what you did to Liam.

That was Kiki who threw Liam.

Wow.

What happened to Brandon?

Is he okay?

I don't know.

We had no choice.

We told him everything.

Everything? We had to.

Brandon!

Are you all right?

What happened in there?

Those light creatures.

The same thing that tried to get me during the storm.

You saw them?

Everyone did.

Okay, guys, just give him some space.

Whatever you did worked.

We just dispersed his energy.

It should be okay.

Okay.

Are you kidding?

Brandon knowing it is one thing, but there's no secret now that the entire

town has seen you do a plasma form.

Everybody's talking about the weird light creatures.

I've been called worse things.

I don't think we should panic.

Nobody knows it was us.

Except for Brandon.

Do you really think we can trust him to stay quiet?

I have no idea how to predict Brandon's moves anymore.

But he's one of us.

It's his secret too, and he'll be protecting himself by keeping it.

Are you sure you don't want to call him?

I'm sure.

Any contact needs to be his choice.

We don't really know how he'll handle this.

Tell me who I really am.
