They introduce themselves to each other, their first meeting, and Naomi tells her inspiration from Superman.  Nathan smiles, but the Naomi with glasses is unimpressed.  Then, we get Nathan ready for prom.  "Worst Prom Ever", I think that award goes to Carrie.  He is waiting with Jacob as Greg in his military uniform watches them.  Jennifer walks in with a Polaroid camera.  Annabelle walks down the stairs.  Jacob gives her a flower corsage for her wrist.  Naomi is next with her blue-silver dress, Nathan gives her flower corsage.  They enter the prom uncertain about the theme, Winter Wonderland, Esme is there and actually worked on the decorations as a student attending the school.  They start to dance, but Naomi hears a ringing, she remembers Dr. Bell saying it’s called a resonance and confronting Mac.  The lights go out, later Naomi, Jacob, and Annabelle discuss the blackout.  Naomi thinks it might be an EMP, electromagnetic pulse.  Esme is cheery and says that the power is on.  


Nathan joins them as Annabelle and Naomi head to bathroom.  At the base, Greg enters and sees Agent Davis (Kurt Yue) who had interviewed everyone about Commander Steel.  He brings up S.T.A.R. Labs and Davis sent a team to check out an energy surge.  Agent Davis activates the team that breach the lab and enter the ruined lab, the machine starts to activate and the soldiers evacuate.  Naomi sees a glowing panel in the school wall, she reaches a finger out to a red glow, it repluses her, a force field.  Naomi rushes to see Zumbado, but she is repulsed by the force field!  Jacob is checking out the force field with them in the girl’s bathroom.  They have two hours to find a way to escape.  Annabelle brings up contacting Dee on a CB radio and Naomi knows where to find one.  Jacob and Annabelle sneak in the office to find the radio.  Naomi goes to get an app to boost the radio’s signal.  At the DJ booth, Naomi tries to unlock his box, Nathan walks in with some ice cream.  She says she has a project (lie) and Nathan walks away.
