Recap / The Thundermans S 2 E 24 A Hero Is Born

Go To

When Barb becomes pregnant with a fourth child, Phoebe's friendship with Cherry is ultimately tested when she tries to keep the baby a secret due to how fast supes can give birth. Meanwhile, Max and Colosso are invited to accept an award which turns out to be a trap, and Nora tries to prove she's still the cute one in the family.

Tropes:

  • Armor-Piercing Question: After Cherry realizes Phoebe has been hiding things from her and Phoebe says she can't tell her about them, Cherry asks, "What kind of best friends don't tell each other everything?" Phoebe is unable to respond, and Cherry promptly bails on her.
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: As put by Barb in the final scene: "So, Max turned Dr. Colosso back to a human, Phoebe told Cherry our family secret, and Nora has been banned from the baby store?"
  • Cassandra Truth: In the Thunder Van, Cherry refuses to believe Phoebe when she reveals she's Thundergirl, because of how much she lied to her all this time. It's only when she sees Chloe suddenly age into a 1-year-old and Phoebe fighting King Crab does she realize Phoebe was right.
  • Extra-Long Episode: The second in the series.
  • Last-Second Word Swap: When trying to hide Barb's pregnancy from Cherry, Phoebe tells her she was having "a baaaa...ake sale."
  • Loophole Abuse: When Nora disguises herself as a baby to enter a baby contest and the judge is against it, she says the sign says, "Ages 0-9". The judge says it means in months, but Nora responds that isn't written on it, thus she is let in.
  • Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: The middle of the episode becomes this between Phoebe and Cherry, when the latter becomes upset when she keeps bailing on her and cannot tell her about Chloe. When the baby is exposed and Cherry realizes Phoebe has been lying to her and kept keeping secrets which she cannot tell, this almost leads to the end of their friendship.
  • Plot-Relevant Age-Up: When Cherry briefly turns away to get another bottle for Chloe, the baby is suddenly a 1-year-old when she comes back; this is the first instance of her realizing Phoebe was not lying to her that she's Thundergirl.
    Cherry: That's not normal.
  • Secret-Keeper: Cherry becomes this to Phoebe and her family as of this episode.
