Naomi, “Homecoming”, Review!

Naomi is at a skateboard park on her board as Greg takes video of her on his cell phone.  He buys churros for his family.  Naomi stares at Zumbado playing chess at the park.  Her father warns her that he is dangerous.  She knows.  At school, she presides over the Homecoming committee.  Annabelle shows the fundraising chart, the soccer team is at the top, and Nathan defends the favoritism allegation from Esme.  He hopes to raise more funds for the soccer game.  Anthony, Annabelle, and Esme all try to speak for their clubs.  Later, Naomi wonders about staying in the same place to Annabelle.  


At practice, Dee spars with Naomi with escrima sticks.  He says it is the last session and may have found something about Qyeala, his unrequited love that he thought he lost.  Nathan shows up and sees the gym for the first time.  Dee introduces himself.  Naomi has them walk away.  As they walk, Nathan wants to see Naomi’s moves, and she swiftly blocks him.  Annabelle and Naomi re-enter the warehouse, Naomi sees that markings are gone, she touches the wall and looks at the other room through x-ray vision.  She pushes a socket and opens the door.  Naomi uncovers a large case with markings, a spaceship!  Later, she uses her skateboard to go to her ramp in her backyard.

Naomi shows Annabelle piece of the spaceship and wants a scientist she knows, Dr. Bell, to analyze it.  Nathan is joking about Anthony’s float honoring Port Oswego.  They get into a pushing contest, this is rivalry between the military and the townpeople, we haven’t seen Nathan’s parents, but they may be part of the problem.  A teacher, Mrs. Varady (Joanna Walchuk) breaks them up and gives them detention.  Nathan acts out disrespectfully for no reason, he is still a young teen, and needs a little more growing up.  Dee enters a bar, a beer bottle is levitated to a customer, at the bar is his friend Adam. Dee admits he saw her name on the bounty hunter’s list.  Qyeala and Dee found on a planet to give up being warriors.  He wants to find Lux and points him out.  


At S.T.A.R. Labs, an energy experiment is monitored by Dr. Bell (Jennifer Christa Palmer).  Naomi waves to her.  She mentions the college internship, but Dr. Bell knows she is too young.  Naomi brings up an extraterrestrial object.  She is allowed in and Naomi takes off her backpack to show her the piece of metal.  Dr. Bell says it is from a spaceship and knows that Naomi is not from Earth!  She calls her “interdimensional” and scanned Naomi entering the room.  Dr. Bell activates her iPad, activates a device that can help Naomi use her powers, Naomi uses x-ray vision to see inside her backpack.  She calls it “resonance” and Naomi wants her to find Earth-29.

At the detention room, Nathan annoyingly taps his pencil, he admits that he didn’t mess with Anthony’s float.  He brings up his first day where Anthony ditched him.  Nathan says they should find the person who messed with the float.  At the bar, Dee meets with Lux (Ahmed Lucan), who tries to leave, but blocked by Adam.  Dee sees the ring necklace on Lox, he slams him down, and shows him his ring.  He says he was on the planet with Qyeala and took the ring to remember her.  Lox leaves the bar.  The parallel stories of Dee and Naomi are interesting, is Queya somehow connected?, is she the one who sent Naomi to protect her?  At home, Greg and  have brought back leftovers, they hear a noise.  Then, find Zumbado!, who wants to talk.  He says someone knows the location of Naomi and that she is not safe.  Zumbado places a gun on a table and walks out.  


At the lab, Dr. Bell sends energy at the spaceship piece, but can’t find the planet.  She tells her the theory of Quantum Mechanics about the Multiverse.  Dr. Bell says she had a prototype device, but it was stolen.  Then, shows Naomi on her laptop, of course Zumbado!  I think this is the person, Dr. Bell, that Zumbado was trying to warn about to the McDuffies.  Nathan is locking for keys to the security room, Anthony is looking out and tries to delay Mrs. Verity, he says he was going to invite her to the game.  The secruity footage is scanned by Anthony and shows the face of the culprit, Esme!  Adam points out the tatoo, they both believe that Lox was telling the truth.  They face two men who enter and then two others from the front door.  Naomi's latest ep has Dee learning more about Qyeala while Naomi takes care of high school life, the two will collide, and Naomi will use her full powers!   


Three Discs out of Five!
