After learning the truth from her parents, Naomi makes a bold move towards Zumbado. Meanwhile in school, students want her to run for Class President and Greg has to lie to Commander Steel to protect his daughter.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Adaptation Deviation: In the comic, Naomi arrived in a spaceship; here, unless her parents are lying, there was no spaceship.
  • Arc Number: "29" pops up again.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Dee comes to Naomi's help against the Bounty Hunter, and makes it clear that everybody who comes for her will have to go through him first.
  • Big Damn Kiss: Naomi kisses Nathan at the end of the episode, realizing that she wants to be with him.
  • Bounty Hunter: A nameless one is sent after Naomi.
  • Carnivore Confusion: Naomi points out to Jennifer that Dee has wings and it might be insensitive to serve him chicken during the dinner scene. Dee says it's fine, though.
  • Emotional Powers: Dee explains that this is how Naomi's powers work.
  • Flashback: To the day Jennifer and Greg found Naomi in the woods.
  • Internal Reveal:
    • Naomi tells Annabelle about the truth of her origins.
    • Naomi's parents learn about Dee being an alien.
  • Meet Cute: Greg and Jennifer met when they bumped into each other at an art gallery.
  • Moral Guardian: People at school are upset about Esme trying to force a non-sugar policy on them.
  • My Greatest Failure: Dee reveals that the tattoo he has is in memory of Qyeala, the woman he loved, whom he never dared to tell how he felt about her.
  • Nothing Personal: What the Bounty Hunter tells Naomi when trying to apprehend her.
  • Parents as People: While Naomi is shocked that her parents kept the truth from her for years, she does understand why, sees how sorry they are and is thus quick to forgive them.
  • The Reveal: Akira tells Naomi that she comes from Earth-29.
  • Serious Business: The reason the rest of the students want Naomi to run for Class President and call Esme a "monster"? She imposed a sugar ban on the school's vending machine.
  • Shout-Out: Annabelle mentions Interstellar.
  • Spotting the Thread: Nathan correctly notices that Naomi only runs for Class President because people pressure her into it, and her heart is not in it. It causes her to later drop out, despite an initial passionate speech.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Akira gets away from Naomi when she's distracted by some noise.
  • Teleportation: The nameless Bounty Hunter is capable of teleporting.
  • Villain Respect: Zumbado is clearly impressed with Naomi's boldness and hands her the disk as a result.
