Re:cap - Naomi mentions she had translated the disc at the underground bomb shelter. She read the Twenty-Nine. Zumbado opens a book that has 29 names listed. He crosses out Akira. Then, we have Naomi returning to her room, she works on her college essay on her laptop. She write about telling the truth, we see Nathan kicking a soccer ball, Anthony out by some trees, and Lourdes at her comic store. She starts to write about change. She sees her parents and tells them she has to be honest. They take her on a drive out to the woods. Her parents walk her out to the forest and reach a spot where Naomi sees where they found her. She touches a stone ring which lights up and a symbol appears a crescent moon interlocking a roof-like symbol and three posts.
The episode starts off at an art gallery, where Greg talks about how they found her, Jennifer bumps into him at the gallery and they both smile. Then, he puts a ring on her finger at their wedding. They walk the forest and then see the fall of comets from the sky. Jennifer and Greg run and at night, they return to find baby Naomi in the circle. A Kents and Kal-El story! Naomi is stunned, but doesn’t make any comparison to Superman? At school, she has updated Annabelle and says she forgave her adopted parents. Naomi is not disturbed and Jacob brings them to the snack machine which has healthy options from the class president, Esme (Alie Urquhart). She was the student who gave a smug response when the group was outside of the principal’s office. Naomi suggests a recall. Anthony second it and the crowd gets behind Naomi. She of course agrees.

At the underground gym, Naomi punches a bag and then knocks it into a wall, like Captain America? Naomi explains about her extraterrestrial origins and her parents have invited Dee to dinner. Dee says her power is special. At Zumbado’s lot, Naomi asks for her disc as he polishes a car, and she brings up the 29. He hands her the disc from his jacket. In her room, Naomi examines the disc. She tries to light a fire under it and the power goes out revealing more circles of letters! Annabelle, Naomi, and Anthony look at the binary numbers in her journal. She mentions running it on at the code lab to Anthony. Commander Steel informs Greg that the blackout could be dimensional breach. Greg sees that it is centered on his house. Nathan walks into a class and sees Naomi sitting next to her campaign posters. Nathan says she should trust her feelings to go campaigning.
Jacob says that the code failed and Naomi brings up a Turing Machine. They have a mini-lesson, there was a movie on Alan Turing in The Imitation Game (2014). At dinner, Jennifer brings a chicken dish and Naomi brings up Dee’s wings. He says it is ok and Jennifer asks about her training. Naomi says she is learning to box, then Dee says she will learn meditation. Greg asks how long Dee has been in Port Oswego and his reply is twenty years. Dee admits went to his homeworld in 2012. He asks about a light hovering over the rock that is usually at “arrival events.” The lights start to flash and Dee excuses himself. Jacob has taken all of them to an escape room. A great setting. Naomi says they have to complete the game. Annabelle figures out that a bottle has lilac a door opens and Naomi enters the code. She finds out that it has something to do with a blond woman with blue eyes, Esme? Lourdes solves the escape room and the door opens. Naomi says to Jacob that the clues lead to Portland.

Naomi is looking at her phone, when she sees her parents in the kitchen, Greg wants a Dee-brief, funny. She is upset at their treament of Dee and brings up running for student council. A stranger holds a device over a computer, Zumbado’s computer. A mysterious person (Aaron Farb) in a black coat and says he is looking for something “dangerous.” Zumbado threatens him. Out of a Portland bus, Naomi checks her phone, and looks around. She finds a blond hair woman sitting at a table, it’s Akira from last episode! She starts to run and Naomi goes after her on her skateboard. She uses her powers to zap the car window. Akira says using her powers is reckless. Also, that Zumbado “ruined” Earth-29. Akira admits that it was Naomi’s homeworld. In the comics, Earth-29 is called Htrae, in the Bizarroverse! The woman says that activating the disc is dangerous. A car races and suddenly the woman is gone.
Naomi waits as Dee pulls up in a jeep. He says her power made the lightbulb flash. Her powers are connected to her emotions. She has multi-dimensional powers? At the school debate, we have the students with Esme talking about the dangers of sugar, the amount is dangerous for teens, but they should already know it. Annabelle and Jacob worry that they can’t contact Naomi. At the military command center, Greg has found an electromagnetic signal that is repeating. Someone is tracking something. Naomi arrives on time for the debate. She says Esme’s policies shouldn’t be blamed on her. Naomi says that Esme cares about the school. As the signal is triangulated, Naomi says getting active can has possibilities so they should vote for her. Greg is in the forest and sees the stone again and finds the device used by the man at Zumbado’s used car lot. He knows his daughter is being tracked! Naomi has a large cast which is difficult to give enough screen time to all of the characters and a slowly resolved mystery, but there is action and good moments!
Three Discs out of Five!
