It is the final episode of Naomi with the second part of the finale! Short re:cap - we had Naomi taking on The Assassin with his energy weapons. She does a flying punch and then her arm is caught by The Assassin. He knocks her down and tries to bring down his energy sais, but they are evaporated by Naomi’s new power. The Assassin teleports away. Zumbado and Dee takes Lourdes and Anthony to give them the update. Lourdes knows about the multiverse from comics. The duo saved them because they care for Naomi. In the forest, Naomi puts the locket in the disc and then they see door. Annabelle stays behind as Naomi enters, it is Earth-29. The red leaves start to fall, then Naomi sees a vision of her parents, and that they were betrayed!
Naomi is back logging onto her Superman blog probably the last time was the first episode. She goes into Doogie Howser mode and contextualizes her life over the year with the final question that is the title of the episode. Her house, Naomi tells Greg and Jennifer about seeing her birth parents. Then, the memories of their last day on the planet. I hope her parents are not her betrayers. She worries about being ready for Brutus. Greg says they have to leave the planet that night and they want to keep it a secret. Naomi worries about her friends. She places the disc on Zumbado’s desk, but he sees her and tells her that she shouldn’t leave. The Chosen One with a destiny to confront parent’s killers is very Harry Potter. A rainy night, the McDuffies drive in the rain, then confront Julian and The Assassin. Julian activates a force field that the car slams into and falls flipped over. Naomi struggles to get outside of the car. Her parents are missing. I imagine the bad guys took them away.

For some reason, Naomi walks in with Annabelle walk into Dee’s office with it in ruins. In a room is Dee sulking, Akira, Naomi’s parents, and Zumbado. He thinks they used powers developed by Mac. A dampening attack took away their powers. If it takes away their powers, and the McDuffies don’t have any, why not use the crystals they had before to defeat Steel? They should have brought them along for the escape. Naomi goes over the attack at Old Forest Road. Zumbado realizes that they were trying to escape. Akira says that Mac visited Dee. He says he refused to help Mac. Then, suspicion turns to Akira. The “Who Am I?” episode turns into a whodunnit! The guilty card is played on Dee, Akira, and Zumbado, but not the McDuffies, hmm. Naomi goes over why the adults are taken, Annabelle is happy that she might be next, Naomi wonders about the others. Jacob and Anthony are sneaking around playing paintball. Annabelle and Naomi walk into the black-lit arena, but Annabelle gets hit, her jacket should protect her. The shooter is revealed to be Lourdes.
She in turn is hit by Nathan. You don’t walk or stand around during paintball. No helmets! Paintballs hurt if they hit your head! and that would be illegal in terms of the game. Annabelle is hit several more times, you never stay in the same place, and she should wear a helmet. Actually, you can’t enter an arena without the proper gear. Naomi sees Julian, but he disappears, is he playing a game of “I See You!” At Dee’s tatoo shop, Naomi takes everyone to the training room, and Jacob finds somethign on his alien tracker. Anthony says that events like “the first gathering of a super hero team” as Annabelle puts it, can also happen in the underground cave of a billionaire. He admits that Lourdes is getting him to read Batman, they are a couple. They find the adults in a place Jacob recognizes as an “abandoned warehouse.” Naomi is about to leave to take on the problem on her own, but sees all of her friends again. She says it’s all too dangerous, but they all say they already faced danger. Jacob gives them code names. This seems like it is the first time that the friends are all together, having fun, and not clueless about Naomi.

Annabelle brings up the Squid Man in Star Wars and the others all say, “Admiral Ackbar.” Funny, but Squid Head is a Quarren, Ackbar would be like Salmon Head, close enough. Naomi then leaves her friends at super speed. The adults begin to investigate the room. Akira is touching the floor and says that there is massive geothermal energy. A surge of energy and Akira explains that it is opening of a portal. A circle appears and Naomi sees The Assassin and Julian explain that it will lead her to Earth-29. Naomi says she is not alone, takes a toy walkie talkie, and Julian vanishes! Doja Cat, Annabelle, pulls a switch. Aragorn, Jacob, says it’s a go, and Annabelle is excited that he watched The Wire. Julian suddenly appears and is hit by paintballs from Anthony and Lourdes. Jacob finally activates his device and sends away. Naomi uses her power on The Assassin, waves of power, that knocks him down.
Zumbado starts to use his powers on the door as the others watch, it suddenly opens and it’s Jacob and Nathan. Dee and Zumbado walk and then encounter a power field, but Dee unfurls his wings knocks back the Assassin. Dee has his metal wings out and threatens him to the location of Qyeala, he reveals that she is on Gaolus, the prison planet, and then Zumbado knocks him out. Annabelle sees Naomi as she is about to enter the portal. She says she forbids Naomi from entering it. This is a tearful scene for the characters. Naomi says it is her choice. A farewell with a hug. Then, Naomi walks into the portal. Earth-29, behind Naomi is the appearance of Brutus (Ray Porter), a bearded man He confides that he isn’t from this universe. Brutus reveals that Superman’s appearance was two beings, . Brutus throws a dagger, that cuts Naomi. His power binds and throws Naomi back. He has the weird, distorted voice.

Brutus shows her the past, we almost get to the secret, but Naomi resists him. He takes back his dagger. Naomi defies his call to join him. Brutus is about to throw the dagger, but she unleashes her power. The red foliage is restored and Brutus is amazed by her power. Brutus is zapped by Zumbado and Akira who gives him the Transmatter cube. She says she has to stay behind to seal the portal. At Zumbado’s car dealership with Dee, he gives her the disc, Dee says Brutus now knows her powers and that she can defeat him. Zumbado says tha they will have to find the other 29 with the disc. Naomi wants to help Akira. Zumbado says that she is already dead, but Naomi has hope. She wants to train on her own. Naomi wants Dee to go to Qyeala. She thanks Dee for her training, understanding her powers, the truth, and that she was not alone.
Zumbado assures Dee that Naomi will be safe. Dee says he will return if she needs him, they hug, Dee and Zumbado nod to each other. Naomi returns to see Nathan at a party like the beginning. All of the friends gather and Annabelle wonders about senior year. They start to dance. The forest, Naomi walks with her parents with shovels to dig the transport vessel. Naomi picks up a piece of the ship, she then sees the truth of Greg and Jennifer shooting her birth parents. Jennifer says they now have Naomi, Greg says, “No one will stop us now.” They thought they could restore Earth-29 with her. This crazy revealation is like Invaders from Mars (1953), are parents real? Naomi starts to float upwards with the leaves around her. She threatens Jennifer and Greg sayings, “Stay away me.” She flies through the mist and out to the sky. I like the end cap of the episode, makes sense, and her flying away Matrix Neo-style. A great ending to a show with superheroes, sci fi, and fun characters!
