Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra Pub. Oh, thank God. Peter's shirtless again. His attractiveness wanes when I realize that he's trying to conjure up blue fireballs from his hand by holding it out and shouting, "Lightning! Sparks! Lightning!" Heh. Caitlin appears in the doorway and innocently asks if that's really how that power works. Peter's not sure, but so far? Nothing's working. He knows he can do all these things, but he feels powerless. Caitlin sympathizes with him, saying that it's tough not knowing who you are. Peter puts on his shirt. I go get snacks and some board games, because I'm suddenly not interested in anything that's going on. All I'm saying is, if you want me to watch the rest of the episode, taking (and keeping) the shirt off might be a really bright idea.
Caitlin suggests that Peter might be an extraterrestrial that's escaped from a government facility. Peter kind of laughs at this and raises an eyebrow. She then says that he shouldn't worry about tonight's activities; she'll be there to get his back. Peter asks why he should trust her, and she says that she hasn't told any of the gang exactly what it is that Peter can do; apparently, they just think he's a bruiser and a half, due to the way he crippled the rival gang members. Peter asks why she would lie on his behalf, and Caitlin just says, "Girl's gotta have her secrets." What she really means is, "Take your shirt off."
Somewhere in Mexico. Alejandro's getting led into the jail. He sees the wanted poster for him and Maya on the wall. Neither of the cops in the room seems to see it. Alejandro gets shoved into a cell. The stoner in the next cell sits up and says, "Dude. You look like ass." Well, that's not very neighborly, is it? You can't just say a simple, "Hi! How are you? Whatchya in for?" How hard would that be, really? Go back to sleep, stoner. Maybe you'll dream of 'shrooms and boobs.
Lizard High. The students shuffle into science class. Claire takes her seat near the front. West enters and parks it right next to her, setting her nostrils flaring. They seethe at each other until the teacher announces that they're going to talk about mitosis today. West immediately raises his hand and says he has a question about yesterday's topic on lizards and regeneration. He blabbles something about how he knows lizards can regenerate, but humans can't, but what if a human mated with a lizard? Could their offspring regenerate? Because he thinks he's met a lizard girl! Claire looks at him like, "Bitch? What you playin' at?" The teacher thinks this isn't really a productive conversation, but West just spews, "But seriously -- what if that lizard girl were to...accidentally cut off an arm, or a leg, or you name the appendage, in some horrifying...spa debacle." Hee. Okay, that's kind of funny. It's stupid, and he's still creepy, but he's cute and snarky. Dammit. I'm starting to like West.
