I liked this one. Anytime the group interacts together its fun.

Ugh I feel so bad for Chase because it’s obvious he just wants his dads approval and the guy is a lunatic.

"She’s beautiful and she glows, great."

Finally seeing all the kids using their superpowers was great but that whole scene felt a bit awkward to me with no music or anything. And then them just casually talking about it felt a bit weird too. IDK, sometimes this show feels off to me. Maybe just a bit cheesey I guess? But whatever, its still fun to watch.

They definitely amped the gay vibes from Karolina this episode. She was definitely giving Nico the jealous eyes. Kind of random because I didnt notice anything in the earlier episodes but maybe I wasn't really looking lol. I think I prefer Alex/Nico though? I love that Karolina might be gay though but I just think I'd like to see her with someone else.

that is one of my fav Gert lines

And I agree about Chase. It's heartbreaking to see him try so hard and know that it won't make a difference for his father
