LUNELLA: The Lower East Side
without Bubbe Bina's
Knish Niche? Nuh-uh!
S'those blackouts
we've been havin', Lunella.
Lost batches
means lost business.
So they put
the kibosh on the knish.
Oh, but those knish
were knish-a-licious!
And so is this sammie, b-t-dubs.
Hey, at least
your family's spot is hoppin'.
(funky music playing,
door slams open)
(funky music continues)
- (funky music continues)
- (sparkling)
LUNELLA:
Mixer's good to go, Mom!
- Fryer’s fixed, Mimi!
- Thank you, sweet child.
- (cash register dings)
- We're back, y'all!
And these wings are as spicy
as the lady who made 'em.
- (customers cheers)
- We love you, Mimi!
JAMES:
Hey, check it out, Lu
Blind Date Skate Night.
Singles skating,
but blindfolded.
Sounds like
a winner to me, dad.
POPS: Lunella Lafayette:
you better get yourself out here
with your old Pops.
And say "no" to the longest
reigning Roller Jam King?
Do I look like a fool?
(upbeat music playing)
Don't sweat those blackouts,
Lower East Side!
They can take our power,
but they can't take our spirit!
(cheering)
JAMES JR.: Not again!
Another blackout?
Sorry, folks.
(awkward chuckle)
Uh, here's your money back.
Uh, please roll with us again.
Oh, man, somebody
has got to fix this.
(dramatic music playing)
(hip hop music playing)
MIMI: How many blackouts
is that this month?
POPS: Too many, baby.
That's how many.
Are we gonna lose
the business, Pops?
- Like the knish shop?
- Hey, hey, hey.
We'll get through it.
What do we do
when the going gets tough?
(in unison) We roll with it.
That's what I'm talking about.
What do we do, Lu?
(sighs) We roll with it.
(laughter)
JAMES JR.: Whoo! That's right.
I am so motivational.
(electric buzzing)
(electric buzzing continues)
(evil laugh)
Boo! (giggles)
(scribbling)
(slurping)
EDUARDO: Do the thing!
- Come on, Do the thing!
- STUDENTS: Ooh!
For real, Eduardo? Again?
(groans)
What's that?
I mean, I totally get it
because I'm awesome at Math,
but what is it?
Oh, so glad you asked, Anand.
I think it's some kinda
crazy power generator.
You see,
there was this scientist,
she was working on this
top-secret project
for the space program,
but then she just
up and vanished
and all that's left of her work
are these incomplete blueprints
I found on the internet--
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Nerd alert!
Level five, nerd alert.
Anyways, if I can crack this,
the Lower East Side
would have its own power grid.
- (awkward silence)
- (Rubik's cube clicking)
Huh? Coach Hrbek?
Hey, look, I'm just
subbing in science
'til they find a permanent hire.
So, is it done yet or what?
- I can do that.
- Sick! (chuckles)
Ha! She's filming again.
Hey guys,
Casey María Eva Duarte
Goldberg Calderon here.
I have to ask: What's the deal
with Chicken Fried Steak anyway?
Is it chicken or is it steak?
Comment below and be sure
to hit that like button, people.
(button pops)
(gasps) Eduardo,
I know that was you!
(laughing) Oh, I got you.
(thuds, grunts)
(buzzing)
(gasps) Oh, no.
- Everyone okay?
- POPS: S'alright sweetheart.
What happened?
Someone tried to rob the place
during the blackout,
but thanks to you,
- they didn't taken a thing.
- Uh-hmm.
Your battery-powered
security system
with that sweet surprise inside
worked like a charm.
- (laughter)
- He's going to be fine.
Ahmed wasn't so lucky, though.
Cleaned out his deli.
Oh, they even took
the cold cuts.
Meanwhile, blackouts
mean more crime,
not to mention lost business,
which means we get pushed
out of the community we love!
I'm not raising my baby
in Jersey!
No disrespect to Jersey.
Well then, somebody
call the Avengers or something!
- I bet they could solve it.
- Aw, sweetheart,
I'm afraid the Avengers
got bigger fish to fry.
Besides, do they even go
below fourteenth street?
We just gotta roll
with it, baby.
(funky music playing)
- Hungry, baby?
- Hmm? Not really.
Still working on that thing
that's gonna fix
all our problems?
Well, it's like you always say,
one girl can make
a difference, right?
Especially
when that girl is you.
I may not be able
to help you with
whatever all this is.
But I can help you
with some inspiration.
(pops, beeps)
Uh, cool.
- Thanks, mom--
- Well, hold up.
Does that say "radioactive?"
You're not actually
building that thing, right?
No, of course not.
Purely theoretical.
(chuckles) Okay. Good.
No radioactive stuff
in the apartment.
Well, technically,
it's not in the apartment.
(upbeat music playing)
(elevator dings)
(upbeat music playing)
LUNELLA: What up, Moon Girl?
Impressed, right? (chuckles)
Oh, you know,
you're impressed!
But should I try it, though?
ADRIA: Well,
how the books looking?
It's bad, A.
If things don't
turn around quick
(sighs) We may need
to sell the rink.
Oh, I've got to fix this.
I may not totally know
what this thing does,
but I have to try.
(electricity buzzes)
(gasps) It's working?
- Yes! Yes!
- (electric buzzing)
Oh, no, no! Too much juice.
(alarm beeping,
electricity buzzing)
(explosion)
(gasps) It's a portal generator!
(stomps)
(stomping)
(stomps, horns shimmers)
(stomping)
(roars)
Cool!
Hmm?
(shrieks, grumbles)
Wait, wait, wait.
No, not cool.
Not cool, not cool.
(upbeat music playing)
(jazzy music)
Hey guys, Casey here,
talking to the people about
their fave blackout attire.
- (thumping)
- Whoa!
LUNELLA: Please
don't destroy New York City!
(squeals, sniffs, slurps)
(stomping)
- (car honking)
- (stomping)
Hmm? (gasps)
(feet screeches
(slurps)
(stomping)
No! Stop!
(feet screeches)
(panting) Well, that was easy.
(growls)
(sniffing)
(grumbles)
Hot dogs! (chuckles)
You like hot dogs?
(grumbles)
(sizzling, squeezing)
(chomping, slurps)
(peaceful music plays)
(purring)
Oh. Look, I am not your mama.
(purring)
No matter how cute you are.
(camera shutter clicks)
(tense music playing)
(electric buzzing)
(intense music plays)
(electricity buzzing)
- (chuckles)
- What is that?
That is why we've been
having blackouts.
She's literally
stealing our power!
(chuckles)
Look out! Help her!
- (police siren wailing)
- (gasps) C'mon!
(grumbles, thumping)
(upbeat music playing)
POPS: See? Right there, baby.
Right there.
What have I been telling you
for the last 40 years?
That there
are lizards in the sewers
and it's only a matter of time
before they rise up.
Please, we all know
this is about "The Man"
paying no mind
to this community.
Nuh-uh! You're both wrong!
Actually, I heard
it's some, uh
electrical lady.
Sucking our power.
Like an electrical vampire.
(laughter)
Now the lizard
uprising sounds legit.
- POPS: Oh, that is hilarious.
- MIMI: Hold up.
What are you doing?
(tense music playing)
You can't eat that
without some of my pie!
Here ya go sweetheart.
(chomping)
Wow! I guess they didn't
have pie back wherever
Or whenever you came from, huh?
- DEVIL DINOSAUR: (sniffing)
- Ehhh?
Pretty dope setup, right?
It's an old subway station.
I just added a fusion generator,
electromagnetic shielding,
triple redundant internet.
- Y'now, the basics.
- (chomps metal)
Oop, oop, oop.
No! Not food.
- (groans)
- That's what brought you here.
See, it was designed
by this super-cool scientist,
Moon Girl.
She's my hero.
Nobody knows her real name.
I was trying
to replicate her work,
and I thought
it was a power source,
but turns out it rips holes
in the space-time
continuum and
Well, you were here
for the rest.
Your trip here
used up half my juice.
It took forever
to synthesize that fuel.
And there's barely enough
to get you home.
- (purrs)
- (chuckles)
Does that mean
you don't wanna go home?
(grumbles happily)
(groans) But would even do
with you?
I can't have you
stomping around,
scaring people like last night.
Well, you did save somebody too.
Oh, that was crazy, right?
As if the Lower East Side
doesn't have enough
to deal with, and now
we got a supervillain?
What we really need
are some su--(gasps)
(orchestral music playing)
Superheroes!
Us! Me and you!
It's perfect!
My brains, your brawn.
- We can really help people!
- (roars)
(groans) Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What am I saying,
who's gonna take
a 13-year-old-superhero,
seriously?
Although I am
the smartest 13-year-old I know.
And now I have a dinosaur!
But I don't
have any superpowers.
Wait! My brain is my superpower!
I could build gadgets,
trick out my skates,
all sorts of stuff!
I mean, who else is gonna do it?
The fate of our community
is on the line here, right?
So what do you think, big guy?
You wanna be superheroes
with me?
Wo-hoo! But listen,
we gotta do this on the D-L
or my family will freak.
- Nobody can know.
- (doorbell rings)
CASEY: Adria and James,
I presume?
It's a pleasure
to finally meet you.
I'm Casey Calderona,
Lunella's best friend.
- Lunella Lafayette?
- Here's my card.
- How old are you?
- Thirteen. But only for now--
- Carrie!
- Casey.
Casey! (chuckles)
My homie from homeroom!
(upbeat music playing)
Love the crib.
Really digging
the crazy genius vibe.
Oh, what's this,
one of your inventions?
Oh, no my Mom gave it to me,
I have no idea what it is.
Look, are you gonna turn me in?
Turn you-- What?
No, I came here to thank you
for saving me from that,
uh, electrical lady!
I woulda been deader
than bedazzled denim
without you
and your big red buddy!
Speaking of which, where
'ya keepin' Clifford, anyway?
Where did he come from?
Do you have representation?
Tell me everything!
(upbeat music playing)
(elevator dings)
LUNELLA: Then I thought,
"Who else is gonna do it?
The fate of our community
is on the line here!"
And like my mom always says:
"One girl can make
a difference."
(applause)
So? Whaddaya think?
- About you bein' a superhero?
- Yeah!
- No.
- What?
Not in that outfit.
No client of mine
is going out like that.
- Client?
- CASEY: Full service management
and public relations.
I can turn you into
the most beloved superheroes
in the world!
I'm talkin' digital marketing,
viral videos,
personal appearances,
♪merchandising opportunities.
This lab is gonna make
a great playset!
Playset?
Girl, have you lost your mind?
I've been told
I can be a bit much,
but honestly,
I don't see it.
Look, you're gonna
inspire people,
just like you inspired me.
I can help get
your message out there.
I can help you help people!
And you don't have
to pay me a cent.
Social media followers
are my currency.
Okay. A lot to take in.
But Hmm?
- All right. let's do this thing!
- Yes!
(upbeat music playing)
(techno music playing)
(hip hop music playing)
(electric buzzing)
Zang!
- We did the thang, thang!
- Yup. Yeah. We did.
I can sell this.
Just one last detail:
- Your superhero name!
- Hmm? Do I really need one?
If you don't
take yourself seriously,
no one else will.
- As for your costume Big Guy
- (growls)
Fine. Go naked then.
LUNELLA: So,
until we can locate that,
power-sucking,
you know, electrical lady,
the best we can do is stop
blackout crime in its tracks.
(thuds)
- (both screams)
- (goggles clicks)
LUNELLA: (gasps) It's the fools
who tried to rob Roll With It!
- CASEY: How do you know?
- LUNELLA: Let's just say,
I might have
put a sweet surprise
inside of my security system.
What do we do?
What do we do?
- Uh, recon, then attack.
- Okay.
While you capture it all
and make us famous?
Yeah. Yeah, let's do that.
Hey, totally unrelated,
but my hands are shaking.
Oh, my everything is shaking.
But my grandma once told me
bravery is what you do
when you're flat-out scared.
Aw, old people are the best.
I know. My grandma is so cute.
Okay. Let's do this.
Uh, stop right there.
And you are
All you need to know
is I'm a superhero,
my turf's the LES,
and you're messin' with it.
A superhero?
And you don't even have a name?
Look, if you don't take
yourself seriously,
no one else will.
CASEY: But that's what I said!
- Sorry
- Casey!
- Sorry.
- Well, I bet my friend
will make you take me seriously!
Who, the gym guy?
(beeping)
For real?
(growls)
(stomps, licks)
(groans) Dumpster mouth.
(grunting) It's not good.
What are you doing?
(tires screech) Yeah. So, uh,
we're gonna
go ahead and leave now.
(rings)
(slowed down voice)
No!
MAN: Well, good luck
with all the superheroing!
(tires screech)
Don't worry.
It's okay! My phone is fine.
But I am definitely
deleting this video.
(groans) If I don't
clean up this crime,
the LES is gonna
keep goin' downhill,
my parents are gonna have
to sell the rink.
And next thing 'ya know
I'm moving to Jersey!
- No disrespect to Jersey.
- CASEY: No, of course not.
We can't let that happen.
I won't let that happen.
Oh, thank you.
I have an idea.
Your part involves
some high-level messing around
- on the internet.
- Or as I call it, Tuesday.
What are you gonna do?
- (purring)
- Oh, I'm gonna get
this super-team in super-synch.
(upbeat music playing)
(panting)
Oh, yeah! ♪
(boxing bell rings)
- Whoo, yeah!
- (clapping)
(horns honking)
(slurps)
Seriously? (chuckles)
As Bubbe Bina would say,
"You're a real bondit,
y'know that?"
- (growls)
- Oh, it means,
just like, you know,
rascal, devilish.
(grumbles)
Hey, what's your name anyway?
(growling)
(laughs)
That will not fit on a t-shirt.
(sentimental music)
(groaning)
Bam! Thanks
to my mad internet skills,
I found the robbers
trying to auction
all the stolen stuff
on the web.
I snagged their address.
Oh, that's lit, Casey!
Yeah. So, what have
you been up to?
Oh, you know,
trained an apex predator,
mastered my gadgets,
and became fluent
in dino-saurian.
I even learned his name.
The literal translation is:
"Terrifying Fire Beast
Who Will Bring About The End
of All Things."
(gasps)
But, but, but hear me out.
We discussed it,
and we're gonna go
with "Devil" for short.
Devil? Devil?
- Yeah, I can work with that.
- Oh, all right.
Then, what are we waiting for?
(upbeat music playing)
(goggles click)
(hip hop music playing)
Oh, man. Be honest,
how's it look?
LUNELLA: I believe the adjective
he's searching for is "smurfy."
Really? Little miss "superhero"
without a name,
you back for more humiliation?
I did pick one name.
Devil!
(roars)
(gasps)
(grunts)
LUNELLA: Fetch.
- (groans)
- Attaboy!
(gasps, sniffs)
(upbeat music)
Devil. Leave it.
- Come on. Listen to mama
- No, don't listen to mama.
- Yummy cold cuts.
- You got this, Devil.
- Mmmmm-mmmm.
- Come on, you got this.
(upbeat music playing)
(camera shutter clicks)
(grumbling)
(smashes)
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Oh, who is my good boy?
- You are!
- (grumbles)
(gasps) The one
who never talks is getting away!
(upbeat music playing)
(screeches)
LUNELLA: Oh, got him!
I'm definitely
not deleting this video.
- (electric buzzing)
- (gasps)
(electric buzzing)
- BOTH: The Electrical Lady!
- Hey, hey, hey.
My name isn't lady.
It's Aftershock.
Oh, look at you!
That cosplay is adorbs.
Who're you supposed to be?
Well, I'm
Boy, don't even.
Okay, you work on that.
Gotta jet.
I do have a day job.
That's right,
a gal can do it all! bye.
(laughing)
Enjoy the win, will 'ya?
The big takeaway
is we superheroed!
And don't stress about the name,
we'll sleep on it,
maybe do
some guided meditation
LUNELLA: Moon Girl.
I'm gonna be
Moon Girl.
Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur!
And Casey.
(hip hop music)
(upbeat music playing)
(hip hop music)
Aight, new mission:
Stop Aftershock,
stop the blackouts,
and save the LES!
But first we gotta find her.
So Imma upcycle
whatever this thing is.
(upbeat music,
construction noises)
Check it,
the Multispectrum Moon Scanner!
It's gonna take a while to
isolate her energy signature.
But until we do,
we can give folks a hand
around the Lower East Side!
(upbeat music playing)
(ricocheting)
(beeping)
(hip hop music)
(beeping)
(beeping)
(beeping)
(beeping)
(tense music playing)
LUNELLA: Come on.
(beeping)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity buzzing, sparks)
(gasps)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity buzzing, flashes)
(grunts)
(panting)
LUNELLA: Now, D.
(roars)
(grunts)
That's right Electrical Lady!
It's time for you to bounce,
outta the Lower East Side!
(chomping)
(electricity buzzing)
Devil.
AFTERSHOCK:
Sorry to burst your bubble.
(flashes)
MOON GIRL: Oh snap.
D, are we dead?
Oh.
Okay, not dead
(Aftershock laughs)
(sighs)
(electricity sizzling)
(grunts)
AFTERSHOCK:
Skitter skitter skitter!
MOON GIRL: Uh-huh.
Enough o' this noise.
(beeps)
(grunts)
Holy puberty!
You're just a kid?
A-doy. Moon GIRL?
It's right in the name, lady.
Oh, I could never hurt a child.
- But I should at least try.
- (gasps)
(chuckles)
- (roars)
- (zaps)
Devil!
(laughs)
Devil! Say something!
- (groans)
- Oh, no, no. Okay.
Okay. Come on. Get up.
We gotta get outta here.
Oh, no, no. Don't lick it.
(sighs) Oh, no.
- Now you get some rest.
- (whimpers)
It'll be okay.
What are we gonna do, Casey?
Devil's hurt so bad.
Are we in over our heads?
I
No.
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
Lunella isn't up yet?
It's almost time for school!
Ai-yikes. We gotta go.
Heal up.
I'll check on you later, okay?
(groans)
(hip hop music)
- MIMI: Now not too runny, James.
- Ma, I know.
NEWS ANNOUNCER:
The Lower East Side experienced
yet another blackout overnight.
"And Moon Girl
and Devil Dinosaur"
were spotted fleeing the scene.
What? Not Moon Girl! No.
She did so much good
for folks around here!
I don't buy it.
She can't be behind this.
I told ya it was
that no-good dino!
I bet he dragged her into it.
His name ain't Angel Dinosaur.
I just wonder
where the parents are.
They gotta be all kinds
o' dumb to not know
what their own kid is up to.
Let's not rush to judgment.
We may not have
the full story yet.
Hi Mom. HI Dad. Hi Pops.
Hi Mimi. Sorry late for school!
Lunella!
COACH HRBEK: So, ah, protons
and electrons are like, uh
I guess like
you're offense and defense.
If you lose an electron,
it's like a red card in soccer,
it puts ya down a player.
Then, waddaya gonna do, right?
Soccer is boring.
But uh, Megan Rapinoe's
pretty rad
MS. DILLON: And your analogy
was pretty "rad" too, Coach.
- (gasps)
- (chuckles)
I'm Ms. Dillon,
the new science teacher.
Hooray, you're saved!
COACH HRBEK: Oh, praise Jeter.
I was runnin'
outta sports analogies.
Well, you just rest
that cute lil' noggin o' yours
and pass the baton to me.
(chuckles)
- See what I did there?
- COACH HRBEK: Oh yeah, nice!
And hey, if you ever get stuck,
just ask our resident genius,
Lunella Lafayette!
She's as smart as they come!
(thunder rumbles)
Oh, I'm sure she is.
(fire blazing)
(school bell rings)
Could you stay after class
a minute, Lunella Lafayette?
Oh!
Get stuffed, Eduardo.
(door closes)
What are you doing here?
Oh, me?
Why, the Lower East Side
is my home now.
Su casa, mi casa!
But you're stealing
all our power!
And 'cause no one
gives a rip about us,
you think we're easy pickings!
Oh, to quote you,
"A-doy."
And being a
disarmingly-attractive
science teacher
is the perfect cover.
Plus there's
a handy charging spot
right around the corner,
so I can hit it before dinner!
Read the room, Eduardo!
Get out!
Forgot my basketball!
Jeez, so touchy.
You must really be in trouble!
(groans)
Listen up, Geek Lightning.
I'm not gonna let you bleed
the Lower East Side dry.
- Devil and I are gonna--
- Bup-bup-bup-bup.
Let me stop you right there,
fun size.
First of all, "Geek Lightning"
was surprisingly hurtful.
Second, if I don't get
my daily jolt, I lose my power.
Ma mojo, ya feel me?
And that ain't happening.
You want an "A" in my class?
Then, hang up your cape
and stop annoying me.
You're not a real superhero.
You're not a real blonde.
Okay that just got
you an "F" for today.
Happy? Now, do the Math on this.
(snaps fingers)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity buzzes)
(electricity buzzing)
I'm far more powerful
than you'll ever be.
So step off
or I'll do to your family
what I did to your dinosaur.
And be sure to read
chapter five by tomorrow, okay?
(panting)
(electricity sizzles)
(music plays)
(funky music)
- What?
- Yeah.
She's my teacher now.
So glad I'm not
in fifth period science.
Okay, new plan: You build
a gadget to blast her butt,
I'll get the keys
to the teacher's lounge,
then we hide in there 'til she--
No! We--
- (sigh) It's over, Casey.
- Huh?
What's over?
What are you talking about?
I mean, it's over.
No more superheroing. All right?
I put Devil in danger,
and now my family's
in danger too.
But you and Devil
were just finding your groove!
You can handle this lady
- Look at him!
- (snores)
He didn't ask for any of this.
It's my fault he's even here.
So I have to send him back.
It's what's best for him,
he'll be safer at home.
You don't know that.
Oh, we can figure this out.
There's gotta be a way.
Casey. No.
Aftershock is just too powerful.
And now she's got me
boxed in the corner.
(sighs) I can't fix this.
Whatever happened to "One girl
can make a difference?" Huh?
Was that just basura?
I was wrong, okay?
I got in way over my head, and
and I can't do this anymore.
- But--
- I can't! Okay.
Now stop pushing me!
If that's the way you feel,
then I guess
you don't need me either.
(sad music playing)
I believed in you, you know.
(sighs)
Hmm? You doin' okay, buddy?
(grunts)
Hey, why don't I
put on some flicks
and we can hang out.
Just you and me.
Big day tomorrow.
(growls)
(roars)
(snoring
LUNELLA: Huh? Only enough juice
for a one way trip.
(licks and purrs)
Look, the thing is
New York stinks, right?
It's no place for a dinosaur.
You oughta go home,
where you'll be safe. Okay?
- (grumbles)
- (sighs)
LUNELLA: Hey. Hey! Look!
(grunts, sniffs)
- You hungry? Breakfast time?
- (panting)
- Nom nom nom! Go get it boy!
- (growls)
(growls)
Okay. fine. You want the truth?
I don't want you anymore!
You're nothing
but a pain in my butt!
- So go!
- (grumbles)
Just get out!
Just go, you big dumb lizard!
(sobbing)
(dramatic music playing)
(grumbles)
(sniffles)
(growls)
Just go.
(crying)
(dramatic music playing)
(door opens)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, child. What's wrong?
We're selling the rink!
And it's all because of me.
Hold on. How you figure that?
'Cause I'm--
I fix things.
You know,
that's what I'm good at.
And I wanted to fix this too.
(sighs)
If I'm supposed to be so smart,
why couldn't I figure it out?
(sobbing)
Come here.
This is not on you.
Even the smartest girl
in the world
can't do everything.
That's why you gotta lean
on the people who love you.
You got me and Pops,
your Mom and Dad,
and that new friend of yours, right?
Yeah, Casey.
Kinda messed that up too.
Well, if you're lookin'
to fix somethin',
it's never too late.
You're right.
Thanks, Mimi.
- Oh!
- Oh!
- Hi.
- Hi. (clears throat)
- Yeah, I was comin' to see if--
- I was--
This is kinda weird,
I was just goin' to--
C'mon.
(sighs) Look, I
I'm sorry, Casey.
I know I'm goin' through
some stuff,
but I shouldn't have
taken it out on you.
(sighs) I shouldn't have pushed
you and Devil away.
No, me too,
I get where
you're coming from.
And don't worry,
I took down the website,
tossed the costume,
all that junk.
Guess I can be a bit much.
I think you're exactly
the right amount.
Y'know, you're pretty much
the first real friend
I ever had, Lu.
(chuckles) you too, Case.
O-M-G. Do we have nicknames now?
I guess so!
Oh, it finally happened!
I've been dreaming
about this day.
(sigh) I don't know if I have
a chance against Aftershock.
And I don't know
what'll happen if I fail.
But I know what'll happen
if I don't even try.
Lu? Are you sure?
There's no one else to stick up
for the Lower East Side.
Just me.
Okay. I'm really glad
to hear that, because
I lied I never shut
the site down.
Here's your costume.
Let's do this. Wo-hoo!
(upbeat music)
(melodic music)
Moon Girl Magic.
Okay. No publicity
is bad publicity
except when the whole city
thinks you're the bad guy!
We gotta expose Aftershock
as the real villain.
Luckily, she told me
when and where she recharges.
There's a handy charging spot
right around the corners.
So I can hit it before dinner.
Loving the enthusiasm.
But what if no one sees?
What if you can't take her out?
Well, then we get canceled
after one episode.
WOMAN:
It's that Moon Girl character.
The one causing
all the blackouts?
MAN: Oh, boy.
Those kids got to her today.
Oh, honey, I looked like that
my first week too,
you got this.
- Hey, watch it!
- What's she doin'?
- Somebody stop her!
- You wanna stop me
you gotta catch me!
- (beeping)
- C'mon people!
That's it.
Mama needs a coffee.
- What's goin on?
- Yo, it's Moon Girl!
(beeping)
Oh, yeah. That's the good stuff.
MOON GIRL: See? She's the real
cause of the blackouts!
Rad! Ms. Dillon
is a supervillain?
Aw man, now I gotta teach
science again.
All right.
Electrical lady, let's dance!
(scoffs) How 'bout
the electric slide?
(electricity buzzing)
(zaps)
Hey! You come for them,
you're comin' for me!
Um, okay then,
I'm comin' for you.
(zaps)
Hey, where did you get that
old cassette player? Nice!
That's what this thing is?
Well, now,
it does a whole lot more,
like hack into the park's
plumbing controls!
Electricity and H-Two-Oh
don't mix, sister!
(cheers)
(chuckles)
(gasps)
What? Really?
Dang internet lag!
(grunts)
(laughing)
Sayonara, sister.
(grunts)
(roars)
(splashes)
Devil?
(growls)
(laughing)
- You stayed?
- (growls)
But that was your only chance
to get home.
(snorts, growls)
WOMAN: What did he say?
He said, "This is his home now.
And it's worth fighting for.
(growls)
I'm
(chuckles)
worth fighting for.
Oh, I love you,
you big dumb lizard!
Oh, my baby.
This is my best work.
Okay everyone, that's a wrap.
(electricity buzzes)
Time for some reshoots!
- Devil run!
- (roars)
CASEY: Check back
for more Moon Girl content.
Like and subscribe. Bye.
What are you gonna do?
She's like living lightning!
Oh, that's it! If she's like
lightning, we gotta ground her!
You mean, send her to her room
and take her phone away?
No, no, no,
electrical grounding!
We hit her with a metal
lightning rod that's connected
to a wire leading to a grid
under the ground!
If it works, all her electricity
will be absorbed
and dissipated safely! Science!
We just need
a big enough lightning rod.

LUNELLA: The Lower East Side
without Bubbe Bina's
Knish Niche? Nuh-uh!
S'those blackouts
we've been havin', Lunella.
Lost batches
means lost business.
So they put
the kibosh on the knish.
Oh, but those knish
were knish-a-licious!
And so is this sammie, b-t-dubs.
Hey, at least
your family's spot is hoppin'.
(funky music playing,
door slams open)
(funky music continues)
- (funky music continues)
- (sparkling)
LUNELLA:
Mixer's good to go, Mom!
- Fryer’s fixed, Mimi!
- Thank you, sweet child.
- (cash register dings)
- We're back, y'all!
And these wings are as spicy
as the lady who made 'em.
- (customers cheers)
- We love you, Mimi!
JAMES:
Hey, check it out, Lu
Blind Date Skate Night.
Singles skating,
but blindfolded.
Sounds like
a winner to me, dad.
POPS: Lunella Lafayette:
you better get yourself out here
with your old Pops.
And say "no" to the longest
reigning Roller Jam King?
Do I look like a fool?
(upbeat music playing)
Don't sweat those blackouts,
Lower East Side!
They can take our power,
but they can't take our spirit!
(cheering)
JAMES JR.: Not again!
Another blackout?
Sorry, folks.
(awkward chuckle)
Uh, here's your money back.
Uh, please roll with us again.
Oh, man, somebody
has got to fix this.
(dramatic music playing)
(hip hop music playing)
MIMI: How many blackouts
is that this month?
POPS: Too many, baby.
That's how many.
Are we gonna lose
the business, Pops?
- Like the knish shop?
- Hey, hey, hey.
We'll get through it.
What do we do
when the going gets tough?
(in unison) We roll with it.
That's what I'm talking about.
What do we do, Lu?
(sighs) We roll with it.
(laughter)
JAMES JR.: Whoo! That's right.
I am so motivational.
(electric buzzing)
(electric buzzing continues)
(evil laugh)
Boo! (giggles)
(scribbling)
(slurping)
EDUARDO: Do the thing!
- Come on, Do the thing!
- STUDENTS: Ooh!
For real, Eduardo? Again?
(groans)
What's that?
I mean, I totally get it
because I'm awesome at Math,
but what is it?
Oh, so glad you asked, Anand.
I think it's some kinda
crazy power generator.
You see,
there was this scientist,
she was working on this
top-secret project
for the space program,
but then she just
up and vanished
and all that's left of her work
are these incomplete blueprints
I found on the internet--
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Nerd alert!
Level five, nerd alert.
Anyways, if I can crack this,
the Lower East Side
would have its own power grid.
- (awkward silence)
- (Rubik's cube clicking)
Huh? Coach Hrbek?
Hey, look, I'm just
subbing in science
'til they find a permanent hire.
So, is it done yet or what?
- I can do that.
- Sick! (chuckles)
Ha! She's filming again.
Hey guys,
Casey María Eva Duarte
Goldberg Calderon here.
I have to ask: What's the deal
with Chicken Fried Steak anyway?
Is it chicken or is it steak?
Comment below and be sure
to hit that like button, people.
(button pops)
(gasps) Eduardo,
I know that was you!
(laughing) Oh, I got you.
(thuds, grunts)
(buzzing)
(gasps) Oh, no.
- Everyone okay?
- POPS: S'alright sweetheart.
What happened?
Someone tried to rob the place
during the blackout,
but thanks to you,
- they didn't taken a thing.
- Uh-hmm.
Your battery-powered
security system
with that sweet surprise inside
worked like a charm.
- (laughter)
- He's going to be fine.
Ahmed wasn't so lucky, though.
Cleaned out his deli.
Oh, they even took
the cold cuts.
Meanwhile, blackouts
mean more crime,
not to mention lost business,
which means we get pushed
out of the community we love!
I'm not raising my baby
in Jersey!
No disrespect to Jersey.
Well then, somebody
call the Avengers or something!
- I bet they could solve it.
- Aw, sweetheart,
I'm afraid the Avengers
got bigger fish to fry.
Besides, do they even go
below fourteenth street?
We just gotta roll
with it, baby.
(funky music playing)
- Hungry, baby?
- Hmm? Not really.
Still working on that thing
that's gonna fix
all our problems?
Well, it's like you always say,
one girl can make
a difference, right?
Especially
when that girl is you.
I may not be able
to help you with
whatever all this is.
But I can help you
with some inspiration.
(pops, beeps)
Uh, cool.
- Thanks, mom--
- Well, hold up.
Does that say "radioactive?"
You're not actually
building that thing, right?
No, of course not.
Purely theoretical.
(chuckles) Okay. Good.
No radioactive stuff
in the apartment.
Well, technically,
it's not in the apartment.
(upbeat music playing)
(elevator dings)
(upbeat music playing)
LUNELLA: What up, Moon Girl?
Impressed, right? (chuckles)
Oh, you know,
you're impressed!
But should I try it, though?
ADRIA: Well,
how the books looking?
It's bad, A.
If things don't
turn around quick
(sighs) We may need
to sell the rink.
Oh, I've got to fix this.
I may not totally know
what this thing does,
but I have to try.
(electricity buzzes)
(gasps) It's working?
- Yes! Yes!
- (electric buzzing)
Oh, no, no! Too much juice.
(alarm beeping,
electricity buzzing)
(explosion)
(gasps) It's a portal generator!
(stomps)
(stomping)
(stomps, horns shimmers)
(stomping)
(roars)
Cool!
Hmm?
(shrieks, grumbles)
Wait, wait, wait.
No, not cool.
Not cool, not cool.
(upbeat music playing)
(jazzy music)
Hey guys, Casey here,
talking to the people about
their fave blackout attire.
- (thumping)
- Whoa!
LUNELLA: Please
don't destroy New York City!
(squeals, sniffs, slurps)
(stomping)
- (car honking)
- (stomping)
Hmm? (gasps)
(feet screeches
(slurps)
(stomping)
No! Stop!
(feet screeches)
(panting) Well, that was easy.
(growls)
(sniffing)
(grumbles)
Hot dogs! (chuckles)
You like hot dogs?
(grumbles)
(sizzling, squeezing)
(chomping, slurps)
(peaceful music plays)
(purring)
Oh. Look, I am not your mama.
(purring)
No matter how cute you are.
(camera shutter clicks)
(tense music playing)
(electric buzzing)
(intense music plays)
(electricity buzzing)
- (chuckles)
- What is that?
That is why we've been
having blackouts.
She's literally
stealing our power!
(chuckles)
Look out! Help her!
- (police siren wailing)
- (gasps) C'mon!
(grumbles, thumping)
(upbeat music playing)
POPS: See? Right there, baby.
Right there.
What have I been telling you
for the last 40 years?
That there
are lizards in the sewers
and it's only a matter of time
before they rise up.
Please, we all know
this is about "The Man"
paying no mind
to this community.
Nuh-uh! You're both wrong!
Actually, I heard
it's some, uh
electrical lady.
Sucking our power.
Like an electrical vampire.
(laughter)
Now the lizard
uprising sounds legit.
- POPS: Oh, that is hilarious.
- MIMI: Hold up.
What are you doing?
(tense music playing)
You can't eat that
without some of my pie!
Here ya go sweetheart.
(chomping)
Wow! I guess they didn't
have pie back wherever
Or whenever you came from, huh?
- DEVIL DINOSAUR: (sniffing)
- Ehhh?
Pretty dope setup, right?
It's an old subway station.
I just added a fusion generator,
electromagnetic shielding,
triple redundant internet.
- Y'now, the basics.
- (chomps metal)
Oop, oop, oop.
No! Not food.
- (groans)
- That's what brought you here.
See, it was designed
by this super-cool scientist,
Moon Girl.
She's my hero.
Nobody knows her real name.
I was trying
to replicate her work,
and I thought
it was a power source,
but turns out it rips holes
in the space-time
continuum and
Well, you were here
for the rest.
Your trip here
used up half my juice.
It took forever
to synthesize that fuel.
And there's barely enough
to get you home.
- (purrs)
- (chuckles)
Does that mean
you don't wanna go home?
(grumbles happily)
(groans) But would even do
with you?
I can't have you
stomping around,
scaring people like last night.
Well, you did save somebody too.
Oh, that was crazy, right?
As if the Lower East Side
doesn't have enough
to deal with, and now
we got a supervillain?
What we really need
are some su--(gasps)
(orchestral music playing)
Superheroes!
Us! Me and you!
It's perfect!
My brains, your brawn.
- We can really help people!
- (roars)
(groans) Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What am I saying,
who's gonna take
a 13-year-old-superhero,
seriously?
Although I am
the smartest 13-year-old I know.
And now I have a dinosaur!
But I don't
have any superpowers.
Wait! My brain is my superpower!
I could build gadgets,
trick out my skates,
all sorts of stuff!
I mean, who else is gonna do it?
The fate of our community
is on the line here, right?
So what do you think, big guy?
You wanna be superheroes
with me?
Wo-hoo! But listen,
we gotta do this on the D-L
or my family will freak.
- Nobody can know.
- (doorbell rings)
CASEY: Adria and James,
I presume?
It's a pleasure
to finally meet you.
I'm Casey Calderona,
Lunella's best friend.
- Lunella Lafayette?
- Here's my card.
- How old are you?
- Thirteen. But only for now--
- Carrie!
- Casey.
Casey! (chuckles)
My homie from homeroom!
(upbeat music playing)
Love the crib.
Really digging
the crazy genius vibe.
Oh, what's this,
one of your inventions?
Oh, no my Mom gave it to me,
I have no idea what it is.
Look, are you gonna turn me in?
Turn you-- What?
No, I came here to thank you
for saving me from that,
uh, electrical lady!
I woulda been deader
than bedazzled denim
without you
and your big red buddy!
Speaking of which, where
'ya keepin' Clifford, anyway?
Where did he come from?
Do you have representation?
Tell me everything!
(upbeat music playing)
(elevator dings)
LUNELLA: Then I thought,
"Who else is gonna do it?
The fate of our community
is on the line here!"
And like my mom always says:
"One girl can make
a difference."
(applause)
So? Whaddaya think?
- About you bein' a superhero?
- Yeah!
- No.
- What?
Not in that outfit.
No client of mine
is going out like that.
- Client?
- CASEY: Full service management
and public relations.
I can turn you into
the most beloved superheroes
in the world!
I'm talkin' digital marketing,
viral videos,
personal appearances,
♪merchandising opportunities.
This lab is gonna make
a great playset!
Playset?
Girl, have you lost your mind?
I've been told
I can be a bit much,
but honestly,
I don't see it.
Look, you're gonna
inspire people,
just like you inspired me.
I can help get
your message out there.
I can help you help people!
And you don't have
to pay me a cent.
Social media followers
are my currency.
Okay. A lot to take in.
But Hmm?
- All right. let's do this thing!
- Yes!
(upbeat music playing)
(techno music playing)
(hip hop music playing)
(electric buzzing)
Zang!
- We did the thang, thang!
- Yup. Yeah. We did.
I can sell this.
Just one last detail:
- Your superhero name!
- Hmm? Do I really need one?
If you don't
take yourself seriously,
no one else will.
- As for your costume Big Guy
- (growls)
Fine. Go naked then.
LUNELLA: So,
until we can locate that,
power-sucking,
you know, electrical lady,
the best we can do is stop
blackout crime in its tracks.
(thuds)
- (both screams)
- (goggles clicks)
LUNELLA: (gasps) It's the fools
who tried to rob Roll With It!
- CASEY: How do you know?
- LUNELLA: Let's just say,
I might have
put a sweet surprise
inside of my security system.
What do we do?
What do we do?
- Uh, recon, then attack.
- Okay.
While you capture it all
and make us famous?
Yeah. Yeah, let's do that.
Hey, totally unrelated,
but my hands are shaking.
Oh, my everything is shaking.
But my grandma once told me
bravery is what you do
when you're flat-out scared.
Aw, old people are the best.
I know. My grandma is so cute.
Okay. Let's do this.
Uh, stop right there.
And you are
All you need to know
is I'm a superhero,
my turf's the LES,
and you're messin' with it.
A superhero?
And you don't even have a name?
Look, if you don't take
yourself seriously,
no one else will.
CASEY: But that's what I said!
- Sorry
- Casey!
- Sorry.
- Well, I bet my friend
will make you take me seriously!
Who, the gym guy?
(beeping)
For real?
(growls)
(stomps, licks)
(groans) Dumpster mouth.
(grunting) It's not good.
What are you doing?
(tires screech) Yeah. So, uh,
we're gonna
go ahead and leave now.
(rings)
(slowed down voice)
No!
MAN: Well, good luck
with all the superheroing!
(tires screech)
Don't worry.
It's okay! My phone is fine.
But I am definitely
deleting this video.
(groans) If I don't
clean up this crime,
the LES is gonna
keep goin' downhill,
my parents are gonna have
to sell the rink.
And next thing 'ya know
I'm moving to Jersey!
- No disrespect to Jersey.
- CASEY: No, of course not.
We can't let that happen.
I won't let that happen.
Oh, thank you.
I have an idea.
Your part involves
some high-level messing around
- on the internet.
- Or as I call it, Tuesday.
What are you gonna do?
- (purring)
- Oh, I'm gonna get
this super-team in super-synch.
(upbeat music playing)
(panting)
Oh, yeah! ♪
(boxing bell rings)
- Whoo, yeah!
- (clapping)
(horns honking)
(slurps)
Seriously? (chuckles)
As Bubbe Bina would say,
"You're a real bondit,
y'know that?"
- (growls)
- Oh, it means,
just like, you know,
rascal, devilish.
(grumbles)
Hey, what's your name anyway?
(growling)
(laughs)
That will not fit on a t-shirt.
(sentimental music)
(groaning)
Bam! Thanks
to my mad internet skills,
I found the robbers
trying to auction
all the stolen stuff
on the web.
I snagged their address.
Oh, that's lit, Casey!
Yeah. So, what have
you been up to?
Oh, you know,
trained an apex predator,
mastered my gadgets,
and became fluent
in dino-saurian.
I even learned his name.
The literal translation is:
"Terrifying Fire Beast
Who Will Bring About The End
of All Things."
(gasps)
But, but, but hear me out.
We discussed it,
and we're gonna go
with "Devil" for short.
Devil? Devil?
- Yeah, I can work with that.
- Oh, all right.
Then, what are we waiting for?
(upbeat music playing)
(goggles click)
(hip hop music playing)
Oh, man. Be honest,
how's it look?
LUNELLA: I believe the adjective
he's searching for is "smurfy."
Really? Little miss "superhero"
without a name,
you back for more humiliation?
I did pick one name.
Devil!
(roars)
(gasps)
(grunts)
LUNELLA: Fetch.
- (groans)
- Attaboy!
(gasps, sniffs)
(upbeat music)
Devil. Leave it.
- Come on. Listen to mama
- No, don't listen to mama.
- Yummy cold cuts.
- You got this, Devil.
- Mmmmm-mmmm.
- Come on, you got this.
(upbeat music playing)
(camera shutter clicks)
(grumbling)
(smashes)
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Oh, who is my good boy?
- You are!
- (grumbles)
(gasps) The one
who never talks is getting away!
(upbeat music playing)
(screeches)
LUNELLA: Oh, got him!
I'm definitely
not deleting this video.
- (electric buzzing)
- (gasps)
(electric buzzing)
- BOTH: The Electrical Lady!
- Hey, hey, hey.
My name isn't lady.
It's Aftershock.
Oh, look at you!
That cosplay is adorbs.
Who're you supposed to be?
Well, I'm
Boy, don't even.
Okay, you work on that.
Gotta jet.
I do have a day job.
That's right,
a gal can do it all! bye.
(laughing)
Enjoy the win, will 'ya?
The big takeaway
is we superheroed!
And don't stress about the name,
we'll sleep on it,
maybe do
some guided meditation
LUNELLA: Moon Girl.
I'm gonna be
Moon Girl.
Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur!
And Casey.
(hip hop music)
(upbeat music playing)
(hip hop music)
Aight, new mission:
Stop Aftershock,
stop the blackouts,
and save the LES!
But first we gotta find her.
So Imma upcycle
whatever this thing is.
(upbeat music,
construction noises)
Check it,
the Multispectrum Moon Scanner!
It's gonna take a while to
isolate her energy signature.
But until we do,
we can give folks a hand
around the Lower East Side!
(upbeat music playing)
(ricocheting)
(beeping)
(hip hop music)
(beeping)
(beeping)
(beeping)
(beeping)
(tense music playing)
LUNELLA: Come on.
(beeping)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity buzzing, sparks)
(gasps)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity buzzing, flashes)
(grunts)
(panting)
LUNELLA: Now, D.
(roars)
(grunts)
That's right Electrical Lady!
It's time for you to bounce,
outta the Lower East Side!
(chomping)
(electricity buzzing)
Devil.
AFTERSHOCK:
Sorry to burst your bubble.
(flashes)
MOON GIRL: Oh snap.
D, are we dead?
Oh.
Okay, not dead
(Aftershock laughs)
(sighs)
(electricity sizzling)
(grunts)
AFTERSHOCK:
Skitter skitter skitter!
MOON GIRL: Uh-huh.
Enough o' this noise.
(beeps)
(grunts)
Holy puberty!
You're just a kid?
A-doy. Moon GIRL?
It's right in the name, lady.
Oh, I could never hurt a child.
- But I should at least try.
- (gasps)
(chuckles)
- (roars)
- (zaps)
Devil!
(laughs)
Devil! Say something!
- (groans)
- Oh, no, no. Okay.
Okay. Come on. Get up.
We gotta get outta here.
Oh, no, no. Don't lick it.
(sighs) Oh, no.
- Now you get some rest.
- (whimpers)
It'll be okay.
What are we gonna do, Casey?
Devil's hurt so bad.
Are we in over our heads?
I
No.
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
Lunella isn't up yet?
It's almost time for school!
Ai-yikes. We gotta go.
Heal up.
I'll check on you later, okay?
(groans)
(hip hop music)
- MIMI: Now not too runny, James.
- Ma, I know.
NEWS ANNOUNCER:
The Lower East Side experienced
yet another blackout overnight.
"And Moon Girl
and Devil Dinosaur"
were spotted fleeing the scene.
What? Not Moon Girl! No.
She did so much good
for folks around here!
I don't buy it.
She can't be behind this.
I told ya it was
that no-good dino!
I bet he dragged her into it.
His name ain't Angel Dinosaur.
I just wonder
where the parents are.
They gotta be all kinds
o' dumb to not know
what their own kid is up to.
Let's not rush to judgment.
We may not have
the full story yet.
Hi Mom. HI Dad. Hi Pops.
Hi Mimi. Sorry late for school!
Lunella!
COACH HRBEK: So, ah, protons
and electrons are like, uh
I guess like
you're offense and defense.
If you lose an electron,
it's like a red card in soccer,
it puts ya down a player.
Then, waddaya gonna do, right?
Soccer is boring.
But uh, Megan Rapinoe's
pretty rad
MS. DILLON: And your analogy
was pretty "rad" too, Coach.
- (gasps)
- (chuckles)
I'm Ms. Dillon,
the new science teacher.
Hooray, you're saved!
COACH HRBEK: Oh, praise Jeter.
I was runnin'
outta sports analogies.
Well, you just rest
that cute lil' noggin o' yours
and pass the baton to me.
(chuckles)
- See what I did there?
- COACH HRBEK: Oh yeah, nice!
And hey, if you ever get stuck,
just ask our resident genius,
Lunella Lafayette!
She's as smart as they come!
(thunder rumbles)
Oh, I'm sure she is.
(fire blazing)
(school bell rings)
Could you stay after class
a minute, Lunella Lafayette?
Oh!
Get stuffed, Eduardo.
(door closes)
What are you doing here?
Oh, me?
Why, the Lower East Side
is my home now.
Su casa, mi casa!
But you're stealing
all our power!
And 'cause no one
gives a rip about us,
you think we're easy pickings!
Oh, to quote you,
"A-doy."
And being a
disarmingly-attractive
science teacher
is the perfect cover.
Plus there's
a handy charging spot
right around the corner,
so I can hit it before dinner!
Read the room, Eduardo!
Get out!
Forgot my basketball!
Jeez, so touchy.
You must really be in trouble!
(groans)
Listen up, Geek Lightning.
I'm not gonna let you bleed
the Lower East Side dry.
- Devil and I are gonna--
- Bup-bup-bup-bup.
Let me stop you right there,
fun size.
First of all, "Geek Lightning"
was surprisingly hurtful.
Second, if I don't get
my daily jolt, I lose my power.
Ma mojo, ya feel me?
And that ain't happening.
You want an "A" in my class?
Then, hang up your cape
and stop annoying me.
You're not a real superhero.
You're not a real blonde.
Okay that just got
you an "F" for today.
Happy? Now, do the Math on this.
(snaps fingers)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity buzzes)
(electricity buzzing)
I'm far more powerful
than you'll ever be.
So step off
or I'll do to your family
what I did to your dinosaur.
And be sure to read
chapter five by tomorrow, okay?
(panting)
(electricity sizzles)
(music plays)
(funky music)
- What?
- Yeah.
She's my teacher now.
So glad I'm not
in fifth period science.
Okay, new plan: You build
a gadget to blast her butt,
I'll get the keys
to the teacher's lounge,
then we hide in there 'til she--
No! We--
- (sigh) It's over, Casey.
- Huh?
What's over?
What are you talking about?
I mean, it's over.
No more superheroing. All right?
I put Devil in danger,
and now my family's
in danger too.
But you and Devil
were just finding your groove!
You can handle this lady
- Look at him!
- (snores)
He didn't ask for any of this.
It's my fault he's even here.
So I have to send him back.
It's what's best for him,
he'll be safer at home.
You don't know that.
Oh, we can figure this out.
There's gotta be a way.
Casey. No.
Aftershock is just too powerful.
And now she's got me
boxed in the corner.
(sighs) I can't fix this.
Whatever happened to "One girl
can make a difference?" Huh?
Was that just basura?
I was wrong, okay?
I got in way over my head, and
and I can't do this anymore.
- But--
- I can't! Okay.
Now stop pushing me!
If that's the way you feel,
then I guess
you don't need me either.
(sad music playing)
I believed in you, you know.
(sighs)
Hmm? You doin' okay, buddy?
(grunts)
Hey, why don't I
put on some flicks
and we can hang out.
Just you and me.
Big day tomorrow.
(growls)
(roars)
(snoring
LUNELLA: Huh? Only enough juice
for a one way trip.
(licks and purrs)
Look, the thing is
New York stinks, right?
It's no place for a dinosaur.
You oughta go home,
where you'll be safe. Okay?
- (grumbles)
- (sighs)
LUNELLA: Hey. Hey! Look!
(grunts, sniffs)
- You hungry? Breakfast time?
- (panting)
- Nom nom nom! Go get it boy!
- (growls)
(growls)
Okay. fine. You want the truth?
I don't want you anymore!
You're nothing
but a pain in my butt!
- So go!
- (grumbles)
Just get out!
Just go, you big dumb lizard!
(sobbing)
(dramatic music playing)
(grumbles)
(sniffles)
(growls)
Just go.
(crying)
(dramatic music playing)
(door opens)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, child. What's wrong?
We're selling the rink!
And it's all because of me.
Hold on. How you figure that?
'Cause I'm--
I fix things.
You know,
that's what I'm good at.
And I wanted to fix this too.
(sighs)
If I'm supposed to be so smart,
why couldn't I figure it out?
(sobbing)
Come here.
This is not on you.
Even the smartest girl
in the world
can't do everything.
That's why you gotta lean
on the people who love you.
You got me and Pops,
your Mom and Dad,
and that new friend of yours, right?
Yeah, Casey.
Kinda messed that up too.
Well, if you're lookin'
to fix somethin',
it's never too late.
You're right.
Thanks, Mimi.
- Oh!
- Oh!
- Hi.
- Hi. (clears throat)
- Yeah, I was comin' to see if--
- I was--
This is kinda weird,
I was just goin' to--
C'mon.
(sighs) Look, I
I'm sorry, Casey.
I know I'm goin' through
some stuff,
but I shouldn't have
taken it out on you.
(sighs) I shouldn't have pushed
you and Devil away.
No, me too,
I get where
you're coming from.
And don't worry,
I took down the website,
tossed the costume,
all that junk.
Guess I can be a bit much.
I think you're exactly
the right amount.
Y'know, you're pretty much
the first real friend
I ever had, Lu.
(chuckles) you too, Case.
O-M-G. Do we have nicknames now?
I guess so!
Oh, it finally happened!
I've been dreaming
about this day.
(sigh) I don't know if I have
a chance against Aftershock.
And I don't know
what'll happen if I fail.
But I know what'll happen
if I don't even try.
Lu? Are you sure?
There's no one else to stick up
for the Lower East Side.
Just me.
Okay. I'm really glad
to hear that, because
I lied I never shut
the site down.
Here's your costume.
Let's do this. Wo-hoo!
(upbeat music)
(melodic music)
Moon Girl Magic.
Okay. No publicity
is bad publicity
except when the whole city
thinks you're the bad guy!
We gotta expose Aftershock
as the real villain.
Luckily, she told me
when and where she recharges.
There's a handy charging spot
right around the corners.
So I can hit it before dinner.
Loving the enthusiasm.
But what if no one sees?
What if you can't take her out?
Well, then we get canceled
after one episode.
WOMAN:
It's that Moon Girl character.
The one causing
all the blackouts?
MAN: Oh, boy.
Those kids got to her today.
Oh, honey, I looked like that
my first week too,
you got this.
- Hey, watch it!
- What's she doin'?
- Somebody stop her!
- You wanna stop me
you gotta catch me!
- (beeping)
- C'mon people!
That's it.
Mama needs a coffee.
- What's goin on?
- Yo, it's Moon Girl!
(beeping)
Oh, yeah. That's the good stuff.
MOON GIRL: See? She's the real
cause of the blackouts!
Rad! Ms. Dillon
is a supervillain?
Aw man, now I gotta teach
science again.
All right.
Electrical lady, let's dance!
(scoffs) How 'bout
the electric slide?
(electricity buzzing)
(zaps)
Hey! You come for them,
you're comin' for me!
Um, okay then,
I'm comin' for you.
(zaps)
Hey, where did you get that
old cassette player? Nice!
That's what this thing is?
Well, now,
it does a whole lot more,
like hack into the park's
plumbing controls!
Electricity and H-Two-Oh
don't mix, sister!
(cheers)
(chuckles)
(gasps)
What? Really?
Dang internet lag!
(grunts)
(laughing)
Sayonara, sister.
(grunts)
(roars)
(splashes)
Devil?
(growls)
(laughing)
- You stayed?
- (growls)
But that was your only chance
to get home.
(snorts, growls)
WOMAN: What did he say?
He said, "This is his home now.
And it's worth fighting for.
(growls)
I'm
(chuckles)
worth fighting for.
Oh, I love you,
you big dumb lizard!
Oh, my baby.
This is my best work.
Okay everyone, that's a wrap.
(electricity buzzes)
Time for some reshoots!
- Devil run!
- (roars)
CASEY: Check back
for more Moon Girl content.
Like and subscribe. Bye.
What are you gonna do?
She's like living lightning!
Oh, that's it! If she's like
lightning, we gotta ground her!
You mean, send her to her room
and take her phone away?
No, no, no,
electrical grounding!
We hit her with a metal
lightning rod that's connected
to a wire leading to a grid
under the ground!
If it works, all her electricity
will be absorbed
and dissipated safely! Science!
We just need
a big enough lightning rod.
