Episode Synopsis:
Simon and Trevor celebrate their call back at a bar in town, but Simon becomes anxious. Trevor guides him through a breathing exercise while he ignores calls from Agent Cleary, who is pressured to close the case soon.
The two are cornered by a drug dealer, Patrick Connor, that Trevor owes money to, forcing Simon to use his powers to incapacitate him and his henchmen.
But after Simon's use of his powers, they spot a boy who has recorded it with his GoPro, and the two give chase to retrieve the footage. In the car, they read a scene sent by Janelle where Trevor's character, sidekick Barnaby, betrays Wonder Man for a price.
They spot the bicycle courier, Jayden, and follow him into a club. He tells them that he will erase the footage if Simon uses his powers to help him get back his stolen motorbike from a man named Esteban.
Arriving at Esteban's house, Esteban tells them that Jayden is lying. Connor and his men return and hold Jayden hostage at gun point in exchange for Trevor. Trevor convinces Jayden to give him the footage so he could delete it.
With all the commotion, the police arrive and engage in a gunfight with Connor's men; Jayden escapes and reconciles with Esteban. Simon and Trevor flee and learn from Janelle that Kovak wants their call back at his home now.
