Naomi, “Ready or Not”, Review!

We have finally reached the finale with the last two episodes of Naomi!  After the trapping of Naomi and everyone at school behind a force field, she stopped Mac’s plan using a new power, super speed!  We see the infant Naomi looking at some pendants shaking above her box.  Some mysterious figures take her away, her parents?, a man with red eyes sees them.  This is Earth-29 with its red and blue moon.  Naomi is taken to a “transport vessel” that takes her from the world.  An apocalyptic Superman escape!  Naomi wakes up from this dream/vision.  She walks into the meeting of her family, Dee, Zumbado, and Akira, in the kitchen.  Naomi wants to fight for this world.  Akira brings up finding the “Power Source.”  Dee wants to buy her time to take on Brutus. Naomi finally agrees to their decision.

Zumbado wants the transport vessel moved for Akira to repair it.  At school, Naomi is working on her lap top, we see the return of Anthony.  He apparently didn’t go to prom or any of Naomi’s events like her parents party.  Anthony brings up the Superman article for the school paper.  He wants to interview Naomi who has given up on her website.  One of the problems of the show is the large cast, there just isn’t enough room to continue with Naomi’s story while Naomi gets the vision of as an infant crying in the vessel.  She tells Akira about her vision which she calls psionic powers.  Naomi brings up her resistance against the group’s decision.  Akira says that like Kryptonite and nth metal, there may be some energy that can amplify her powers, but she can’t find it.  She says her mother was her friend and shows her a gold locket.  


Naomi flashes to a field of red flowers.  Annabelle drives while Naomi thinks about the locket.  Naomi sees a billboard for Amara’s Diner which promises the “world’s best fries.”  Anthony enters Lourdes’ comic book store.  He wants to interview her for his Superman article.  It seems like it would be great promotion for the store, but Lourdes brings up Naomi’s break up with Nathan.  They both come to the start at the Superman incident.  The next Naomi couple?  Annabelle agrees with the billboard’s promise.  There is a birthday party in the next booth so Naomi brings up their birthday parties.  Then, Naomi flashes to a man (Derek Russo) on a road with red eyes, he is known as the Assassin.  Akira is working on a device watched over by Jennifer along with Greg.  She uses a screwdriver to fix the “molecular structure” of the vessel?

They argue over the readiness of Naomi.  Jennifer and Greg say they are Naomi’s parents and Akira has only run.  The mysterious man with sunglasses lowers them to have a waiter choke.  Continuing on the car ride, Annabelle wants to turn back with the threat of the man with red eyes.  The car starts to overheat and Naomi finds a nearby motel on her phone.  Dee sees Lourdes and Anthony about the Superman story.  Anthony questions his Superman stunt with no new customers.  Lourdes brings up Akira.  This catches the interest of Zumbado who wants them to leave.  In a motel room, Annabelle says that she has filled the coolant into her car.  Naomi wants to go back before Superman was in town three months ago.  Annabelle goes over the amazing events that happened and calls Naomi Superman 2.0.  The man with red eyes looks at their motel door and Naomi snaps from the vision to tell Annabelle.  


Naomi hits the fire alarm that happens to be in the motel room as a distraction.  Akira is almost finished with her repairs.  Jennifer questions if she had helped Naomi.  Akira brings up The Terror that gave her powers.  Some of this should have been established mid-season.  Naomi has given Akira hope due to Jennifer and Greg raising her.  Naomi walks to the field with red flowers and then uses her power on the locket, but nothing happens.  At night, Anthony is investigating with Lourdes into the forest.  They see the glowing marks around the rock.  Anthony takes photos of it.  Lourdes hears someone moving in the forest.  The Assassin has a glowing blade, he throws it, but it is blocked by Dee!  Then, he is knocked down by Zumbado’s power so he leaves.  Night at the field, Naomi senses someone and it is the Assassin, Naomi wants Annabelle to get behind her.  He activates energy sais and Naomi fights with him with Dee’s training.  Naomi’s “Ready or Not” part one of the finale has another of Brutus’ henchmen and another confrontation, but we are winding to the showdown with Naomi and Brutus!
