Deleted line(s) 2,5 (click to see context) :
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The ending. During a huge televised flying race, Jack loses his ability to fly and it seems like Wilson has once again proven that he's better than Jack at everything. Turns out [[spoiler:Jack just pretended to lose his powers so he can break free from being a celebrity and spend time with the girl he secretly loves while Wilson is forced to move away and spend the rest of his life with the burden of being famous]].
** Mia, the girl Jack has a crush on, being worried that Jack being known as "The Flying Boy" and his rivalry with Wilson is taking a toll on him.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Jack and Wilson are scheduled to race each other live on TV, and Jack loses his powers, while Wilson wins again. The awesome part comes when it's revealed that [[BatmanGambit Jack faked losing his ability to fly, so he can go back to being a more-or-less ordinary kid and be with the girl he's had a crush on for a long time, while Wilson is forced to move because he's still trapped being a celebrity]].
** Wilson gets his own flying powers by eavesdropping on Jack and stealing a sample of the formula. He then shows up his rival ''again'' by pulling off some even more impressive flight moves, effectively outdoing a kid with superpowers. Wilson's an asshole, but when he wants to be the best at something, [[{{Determinator}} he]] ''[[{{Determinator}} will]]'' [[{{Determinator}} make it happen.]]
