The Waverider has crossed us over to a new reality. One where the Tomorrow People, with telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation abilities, are on the run from the secret government task force, the ULTRA organization.
Astrid is stuck in the lair of the Break Outs because ULTRA is after her. She can’t even talk with her dad without putting his life a risk. This is weighing heavily on Stephen. So, he demands Jed take her off the hit list. But Jed won’t. Stephen quits. Hugh, The Founder, has a way around this. He promises Stephen, if he brings in a powerful breakout quietly, he will take Astrid off the list. Stephen agrees and Cara is fine with it.
The powerful breakout is Cassie Smythe is the daughter of The Founder. Her mother was a Break Out as well. That makes her a synergist, people how have great control and strong powers. We see that she can teleport 2 cars away at once, the bullets from the police officer’s guns, and force etch words in concrete.
With the help of TIM, Cara, and Russell, Stephen locates her and engage her in conversation. He puts the power dampening cuff on her, but then ULTRA shows up. It seems she wants to get caught. In the lair, she reveals that she wants her powers stripped from her. She did everything to call attention to herself so her father would have to let ULTRA do it. Her father has been experimenting and want to use her. Cara uses her powers see the experiments were on Cassie. Stephen is captured by ULTRA and about to be mind linked with The Founder, when John gets Cassie to ULTRA. She turns herself in to save Stephen and the other Break Outs.
The Founder plays dirty and betrays Stephen, ordering the kill squad to take out Astrid and her dad. Marla is there and prevents them from being killed. Stephen learns his mom is a Tomorrow Person. That makes him a synergist, just like Cassie.
Cara and John have been at odds all episode. He is unwilling to let Break Outs be killed or captured by ULTRA. He questions Cara and does it in front of others. Their standoff leads to Cara kicking John out of the lair.
