There are kids in this world who are different. Special. One of them found us. And became family. At her time ran out. And now that girl is missing. Yes, Sybot and I'd appreciate it if you would keep quiet. The last thing I need is randomly broadcasting recordings of the things that I have no memory of saying to the entire school. It wasn't random and you definitely said it. No more. That sign of X equals sign of the quantity of X plus 2 pi. Psst. Hey. Can I help you, young man? Oh. Uh, yes sir. Sorry to interrupt your class. But there's been a very serious emergency in the robotics lab. Does it involve that robot in your hands? Oh, uh, yes. Sirius emergency beep boop robot emergency. Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee. Okay, I got this. How can I help? Thanks for asking. I need Casey to come with me immediately. Casey? Of course, right away. Hold on. What happened exactly? An accident involving a dangerous spill of... Robotics fluid. Oh no. Oh, not a robotics fluid spill. Is that a thing? Warning warning warning spill imminent. Yikes sounds bad. Why don't those toxic juices seep into the halls? Okay, okay, Mr. Pri. Go so I can get on with my class. Thank you. Robotics fluid. Really, Sybot? Kind of gross. It worked, didn't it? Sirius was flailing. I was not. So, what's the 911? This is going to sound incredibly weird and very, very wrong. But, Sybot has this recording and I'm hoping maybe you created it. As a joke or something? An audio deep fake? Not ringing a bell. Let's hear. Sybot? Uh, add a low volume, please. Hey, Brinley. I didn't handle this right. Neither of us did. I was just trying to give you your freedom to go off and you who you're supposed to be. To be great. Oh boy. Well, that's something. This is the most important thing. In less than 24 hours, you'll be in New York City, Brinley. And I'll have lost the girl I love. Wow, you sound like a man in love. Casey, I never said any of that. I would never say that. Not about Brinley. About someone else, maybe? What? Nothing. Do you think maybe your little schnuckum's BrinBran is behind it? Stop. I mean, you were with her last night, right? Maybe she uploaded it to mess with you? How did you know we were together last night? You told me. I did. I don't remember that. Look, from what you said, there's something rotten in the state of Brinley, right? Well, yeah. She's up to something. But how do we know what? I'm free after school. Wanna go break into her house? Wait, wait, your message. Hey, daddy. It's me. I just wanted to let you know I'm staying after school to earn some extra credit. So, see you wanna see you. Bye. Sorry, I have to lie to you. Better than hey, dad. I'm out wandering around the street in a random neighborhood just because I felt drawn here. It all looks so familiar. Like, from a dream. Especially that one with the porch. Brinley. What are you doing here? Where's your dad? And what's with the garbage bags? My house burned down. Dad's on his way to the rick. This is all I have left and I have nowhere else to go. Guess it's your lucky day, Anders family. You officially have two new roommates. Oh my goodness. I didn't see you crossing the street. Are you okay? Yeah. Sorry. I... I was distracted by... Are you sure you're alright? I'm fine, I think. I've just been having these kind of weird dreams lately or memories. Ever since I fell into the water. I'm a doctor. This is my house right over here. Why don't you come inside so I can check you out? Okay. This is Brinley's house? Offly rustic for the Queen of Mean. How is pictured her living in like... Barbie's dream house. More like her nightmare cabin. Not a shade of pink in sight. Doesn't look like anyone's home. How do you want to break in? We could start by trying the doorknob. Something tells me they don't get many visitors out here. Just look at that. They left it unlocked. Whoa! This place is... Seriously offensive. How many innocent animals had to die for this design aesthetic? It's definitely... A choice. Oh gross. Is that a woolly mammoth? Someone's here. Okay. I'm gonna find somewhere to... Oh, you're already gone. Where did you... Hey! What are you doing in my house? I... How'd you get inside? The door was open, so... Ah! Oh, you're that boy. I saw it. Brinley, what are your corp? Yes sir. Cyrus Anders. And I... I can explain. Ah, yeah. I looked you up after we came home. Oh? Science competition winner. Honor society. Volunteer tutor. That's me. A true blue nerd. Good. Huh? I'm glad she's hanging out with someone who can keep up with her. Better than those clout chasing phonies at school always following her around. Do you know... Not a one of them has shown up for Brinnie since her mom's been in the hospital. Brinley's mom is... Very sick. Doctors can't say for sure she'll ever wake up. I'm so sorry, Mr. Pastronack. I didn't realize how much Brinley was going through. And yet you still came out to check on it. I admire that. Um... Can you let her know I'll see her at school? Hmm. Sure will, Cyrus. Casey. Where'd you go? Any silverception out here? Sorry, Syfy. I had to bail. A bail where? Are you in a car? My mom was tracking me on my phone and she came and picked me up. Sorry. Everything okay? Yeah. Uh, all good. We'll catch up later. What is this... Under my position, Dwight? A note? The bot is right. Who put this here? You know I could have driven myself. I don't need a chauffeur or a babysitter, Ivan. I'm aware you know how to drive when 470D. But the monoracancistic eye control the car. Then you at least have to tell me where we're going. To the home of James and Monica Anders. Cyrus' place? Why? It has been requested that you observe and report back. Observe and report. My two favorite hobbies. Your post is a little high, Brinley. Why don't you sit for a few, drink some tea and try to relax. Okay? Yeah, sure. I can do that. And if it doesn't sound incredibly boring, you can watch me make my famous chicken monica. I got a late start going to the grocery store and my kids are going to be asking for dinner soon. I don't mind. Is that your name? Doctor, please. I'm going to be a little bit more patient. Is that your name? Doctor, monica? It is. That's pretty. Your house. It feels familiar to me. I can't really explain it. Have I ever been here before? Not that I'm aware of. You mentioned falling in the river. Do you know if you hit your head at all in the fall? I don't think so. Any nausea? Vomiting? Do you remember losing consciousness? Are you thinking I have a concussion? It could explain the brain fogginess. I heard there was some kind of electrical anomaly. That picture on the ball. Is that your family? It is. Your Cyrus' mom. I am. Doctor Anders. Of course. Then you know who I am. You were at Whittier Corp with Cyrus last night. Plus, I think your name came up around the time of the robotics competition. And you helped me anyway. Hey, Mom, I thought you were heading out. I'm sorry. I didn't know we had company. James, this is Brinley Pasternak. Brinley the... Winner of the robotics competition? Guilty is charged. Did Cyrus know you were here? I doubt it. I almost walked in front of Dr. Anders' car. Can I call your parents? I think Dr. Anders needs to get to the office. I'm fine. You sure? Yes. I just texted my dad. Dad, what's dinner? I'm starving. Did you take another bath, birdie? You're going to turn into a fish. Well, now that you mention it... Bird. Wasn't going to... Hi. Again. What is she doing here? I ran into Brinley outside. Kind of literally. I was just getting ready to... Brinley? Uh, hey, Cyrus. Hey. Trust me, bro. You're thinking the same thing. Oh, good. Silly. Together again. What's silly? Sibot sleep mode, please. Darn, sleep mode in game. You know, I'm feeling a lot better now. Dr. Anders, I'm going to head out. I prefer you stuck around a little longer, just to make sure there is no concussion. Release in there? My dad's gone. Call Angelica Grace. Don't bother 147 CD. I'm here. Coming to me live via the chip in my head. For convenience. Right. Well, I'm outside the Anders' home, just like you ordered. Requested. Brinley past your knackies inside? Yeah. But it looks like she's getting ready to go. Don't let her leave that house. Do you understand me? Do whatever it takes to keep her there. Use your powers if you must. But I'm still just learning how to control them. When the door... It takes 147 CD. Okay. There's a power box around the back. I'll see what I can... Nice chatting with you. Okay? Let's see. Time to give it a go. Sorry to put you in the dark, Anders' fan. Just a little... Why are the lights flickering? You mean why did they go out? Sounds like a power surge. I mean, we got a bomb. Okay. Now stop. Stop. Whoa. No, no. No, I think I just started a fire.
