Go To

Cade takes a backseat as Eddie attends his high school reunion, only to find that the Gua are there in force, working through his old classmates to find out which one is Crazy Eddie...


Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: As the title suggests, the focus is all on Eddie as he foils the Gua's attempt to identify and kidnap him. Cade is prevented from coming to the rescue by car trouble, only arriving when the danger is over.
  • Busman's Holiday: Eddie takes a break to attend his reunion, only to end up defending himself and his classmates from Gua attempting to find Crazy Eddie.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Eddie's real name is Larry Pisinski. He started using the name Eddie after an incident involving the FBI.
  • Electric Torture: Three of Eddie's classmates end up strapped into a Gua device that erases memories, but at a lower setting it's used to deliver painful shocks.
  • Guile Hero: Eddie foils the Gua's plan with wit and ingenuity, as well as some help from his old friends.
  • I Am Spartacus: When Marianne is held prisoner by the Gua, she realises Eddie was right about the invasion and tries to protect him by pretending to be who they're looking for.
  • Improvised Lockpick: Eddie tries to impress Marianne by opening a locked door this way, but fails. Marianne, who's a teacher for at-risk youth, does a lot better.
  • MacGyvering: Eddie makes a listening device out of random school supplies, including half a globe.
  • Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Eddie's old friend - who previously ratted on him to the FBI - selling him out again in exchange for Marianne, who's currently the Gua's prime suspect.
