Naomi, “Keep Your Friends Close”, Review!

Naomi re:cap we have the anniversary party of Naomi’s parents.  Jacob has changed his device to detect persons instead of objects.  Lourdes was sweeping up her store, she finds. A gift from her student volunteers, Nathan and Anthony, that they raised from a trivia contest.  This is to save her comics that she was selling to pay rent.  Dee trains with the Wing Chun training dummy.  He realizes with Zumbado that they must work together to train Naomi.  At the party, Lourdes goes to Anthony and Nathan, apologizing since she was friendless.  Naomi finds her parents hiding at their party in the kitchen.  Annabelle brings in a cake and Naomi apologizes to her best friend.  Jacob texts them to meet him in Naomi’s room.  

Commander Steel arrives at the lab and has it cleared out by his soldiers.  Jacob tells Naomi and Annabelle that the alien is at the party!  Naomi watches sorrowful as a body is taken away.  She confesses there are aliens in Port Oswego.  Then, we have Naomi dealing with the alien at the party with Annabelle and Jacob.  A knock at the door, it’s Jennifer, who sees her daughter and friends trying to smile. She brings up a toast given by Naomi.  She runs into Nathan and hugs him to distract from the others.  Naomi gives her toast to all of the party guests speaking about trust.  She scans the guests trying to work who is the alien. Annabelle and Jacob confess about the party.  This seems like Commander Steel or one of his soldiers is the interviewer.

At the party, Jacob has tips from the internet “How To Spot An Alien” from the 40 party guests.  Naomi has the social media handles from Nathan and Anthony.  This is run by Jacob to track their whereabouts on the night of the disc theft. At Dee’s dojo, he takes down an opponent and then sees Commander Steel!  He is questioned by Steel about what he knows about the townspeople.  Naomi, Annabelle, and Jacob have run out of suspects, Jacob runs down locations and found three suspects; Lourdes, she wasn’t seen for some time and also where she is can be missing most of the time, Nathan, whom she knows well, why would he still the disc?, the same with Anthony, unless they are hiding something.  It could be someone they missed.  Naomi is questioned again about the party.  


The trio is standing apart from the others, Naomi brings up the suspects are their friends, and Nathan is officially her boyfriend.  Annabelle is surprised that her relationship status changed overnight.  Now they try to question their friends, Naomi has her super hearing, and can read heart rates.  She brings up that they can ask questions in a party game.  The small scale Scooby Doo is ok, but with nothing unusual happening besideds the interviews, it’s low key.  Zumbado has arrived and Dee explains he found out about Commander Steel.  The duo would be helpful in finding an alien.  Dee suspects something connected to Greg.  Zumbado reveals that Naomi told him about the theft of the disc.  They couldn’t sense an alien, Zumbado says some do not have abilities, Dee doesn’t trust Greg.

Zumbado wants him to change his outfit for the party.  Naomi is stunned at Dee’s suit. Dee mentions the problem with the military.  Zumbado wants her to be careful about looking for the alien.  Jennifer says in the interview that the party was “uneventful.”  Zumbado and Dee asks Greg and Jennifer what is going on.  Greg admits that the military found Naomi’s birth rock.  Greg reveals the contingency plan, Jennifer volunteers to access Steel’s computer, Zumbado joins her.  A table of friends and Esme play Never Have I Ever.  Then, they close in on questions about the night, Naomi listens to the trio’s heartbeats.  Anthony and Lourdes are interviewed.  Nathan speaks to Naomi outside wondering about the treatment.  He is suspicous about Naomi spending the party with Jacob and Annabelle.  I’m not certain why teenagers would hang out all night at a parents’ party.  Then, Nathan is interviewed, there was some event.  We have the arrival of Commander Steel at the party.  He seems like the alien. Naomi’s latest episode loses focus on her training, identity, and a side path to finding out about the disc.
