One year after Vince’s retreat and the collapse of GrizzleCorp, Bayshore has settled into an uneasy calm, with Alan enjoying a brief period of being ignored—until he becomes convinced that the town is too normal. As Alan spirals into paranoia, interpreting minor inconveniences as signs of a larger unseen plot, he begins documenting “suspicious behavior,” including synchronized lawn mowing, identical café chalkboard fonts, and the mayor blinking too slowly during interviews. Linda insists the year without chaos has been good for the family and urges Alan to stop chasing conflict, while Morgan and Oliver thrive in a town finally free of rival-driven disasters. Meanwhile, Max stumbles upon a forgotten GrizzleCorp storage unit scheduled for demolition and accidentally activates a dormant broadcast terminal that briefly hijacks local screens with a distorted loading symbol. Alan, believing his suspicions confirmed, rushes to warn the town, only to be dismissed as “that guy again.” The episode ends with the demolition crew uncovering a sealed underground room beneath the old Grizzle HQ, its power systems still running, as the same loading symbol flickers back on—suggesting that whatever Grizzle started may have been paused, not ended. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, and Trevor Haines as Vince “The Grizzle” Grizzleman (archive footage). | |||||||

|
When residents across Bayshore begin developing spontaneous and wildly inconsistent superpowers overnight, the town descends into chaos as ordinary problems become exponentially worse—garbage collectors gain super-strength but can’t stop lifting houses, a barista develops mind-reading abilities and refuses to serve customers, and Mayor Bronson briefly achieves invisibility only while lying. Alan initially celebrates, convinced this proves he lives in “a premium universe,” but quickly realizes the powers appear tied to unresolved personal traits rather than heroism. As minor disputes spiral into destructive incidents, Linda organizes community meetings to impose rules, only for attendees to accidentally teleport, phase through chairs, or freeze time at inconvenient moments. Morgan discovers her ability allows her to duplicate herself for exactly three minutes, Oliver gains the power to summon dramatic lighting and thunder whenever he lies, and Max manifests uncontrollable laser vision triggered by boredom. Meanwhile, Alan remains powerless, driving him into an existential crisis until he uncovers archived GrizzleCorp schematics suggesting the dormant system was designed to “optimize human potential through stress amplification.” The episode ends with Vince briefly reappearing via hologram to congratulate Bayshore on becoming “Version 2.0,” before the signal cuts and half the town begins floating. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Trevor Haines as Vince “The Grizzle” Grizzleman, Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel (teleporting barista), Marcus Bell as Dwayne Holt (super-strength garbage collector), Allison Frye as Janet Loomis (time-freezing crossing guard), and Kevin Duarte as Theo Alvarez (involuntary shapeshifter). | |||||||

|
As superpowered incidents continue escalating, the Bayshore council hastily introduces the “Bayshore Ability Index,” a mandatory classification system ranking residents by power type, usefulness, and “disruption risk,” which immediately fractures the town into social tiers. Highly ranked citizens receive perks like priority services and tax breaks, while low-tier or unstable individuals are restricted from public spaces, fueling resentment and quiet rebellion. Morgan is labeled a “Class B Multiplier” and recruited for municipal tasks, Oliver is flagged as “Unreliable Atmospheric Hazard” and banned from school assemblies, and Max is designated a “Class Red Minor,” forcing Alan and Linda to sign liability waivers just to let him attend class. Alan, still powerless, is categorized as “Non-Enhanced—Behavioral Risk,” humiliating him further and pushing him to lead informal resistance meetings in the Gribble garage. Meanwhile, Linda begins questioning whether regulation is necessary after a misclassified resident accidentally phases halfway into a bus, leaving the town shaken but officially dismissed as a “data error.” The episode ends when Alan discovers his Index file contains redacted sections he never filled out, suggesting the system may have been predicting behavior rather than recording abilities. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel, Marcus Bell as Dwayne Holt, Allison Frye as Janet Loomis, Kevin Duarte as Theo Alvarez, and Brendan Walsh as Councilman Pierce Hawthorne. | |||||||

|
With the Bayshore Ability Index failing to prevent accidents, a loosely organized group of highly ranked enhanced residents begins intervening without authorization, branding themselves as “Fixers” who resolve crises faster than the city can respond. Initially welcomed as heroes, the Fixers quickly overstep, forcibly relocating low-tier residents, suppressing unstable abilities, and enforcing their own version of order based on Index scores. Morgan is pressured to join after her duplication ability proves useful in disaster response, while Oliver narrowly avoids detention when a Fixer shuts down a school event due to “emotional weather risk.” Alan, alarmed by how easily the town accepts unaccountable power, tries to expose the group but is dismissed as jealous and irrelevant. Linda witnesses the cost firsthand when a Fixer stabilizes a collapsing building by permanently freezing a civilian in place to act as structural support, an act deemed “statistically optimal” by the council. As protests erupt, Alan confronts the Fixers’ leader during a public intervention, only to realize the group is operating off predictive data eerily similar to GrizzleCorp’s abandoned models. The episode ends with Max accidentally triggering his laser vision during a Fixer sweep, injuring one of them and marking the Gribble family as a potential threat. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Brendan Walsh as Councilman Pierce Hawthorne, Jason Clarke as Elias Vorn (Fixers Leader), Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel, Marcus Bell as Dwayne Holt, and Allison Frye as Janet Loomis. | |||||||

When Bayshore’s superpowers start causing minor but relentless inconveniences rather than disasters, the town is thrown into petty chaos as residents misuse their abilities for everyday problems—teleporters skip lines at the grocery store, a woman with weather control keeps making it drizzle “for ambience,” and a local dentist with X-ray vision refuses to stop commenting on people’s posture. Alan becomes obsessed with solving “power etiquette,” declaring himself the town’s unofficial referee and handing out homemade citations for violations like “excessive levitation” and “unauthorized dramatic entrances.” Meanwhile, Linda accidentally gains the ability to instantly resolve arguments by touching two people at once, which she finds exhausting as neighbors line up outside the house demanding mediation.

When a malfunctioning portal briefly opens behind the Bayshore Mall food court, the Gribble family stumbles into “Sideways Bayshore,” a parallel dimension where everything is slightly off but aggressively well-organized—streets are color-coded by mood, arguments are resolved by scheduled debate slots, and superpowers exist only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Local residents treat dimensional travel as a mild inconvenience, offering the family brochures and insisting they sign liability waivers before panicking. Alan is immediately embraced as a “Creative Disruption Consultant,” while Linda is praised for not escalating situations, Morgan is baffled to find her duplicates require appointment times, Oliver discovers lying is illegal but sarcasm is tax-deductible, and Max is issued a temporary license for his laser vision with a strict “no animals, no siblings” clause.
