Accidental Hero: How Anya explains how she saved the boy's life and keeps her telepathy a secret. As she and Loid are leaving the hospital after the head nurse kicked them out because Anya kept messing up, she tells Loid she wants to go swimming before going home, and runs off to the therapy pool. When she gets to the pool, she jumps in and tries to save the boy with a broken leg who wandered off from his physical therapist and started to drown when he fell into the deep end. Not knowing how to swim, Anya starts drowning, and when Loid pulls out both children she's asked how she knew the boy fell into the pool, and rather than saying she read her distressed thoughts, Anya lies that she wanted to go swimming and ran off to find the pool, but when she saw the bubbles she jumped in trying to save the boy.

After they get kicked out because Anya kept messing up, she feels the distressed thoughts of a boy with a broken leg who fell into the pool's deep end and starts drowning, and she makes the excuse that she wants to go swimming before going home and runs off.
