Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2023) s01e16 Episode Script

- (fires crackling)
- (distant sirens)
Oh, hello.
Beyonder here.
Since you're not all-seeing,
all-knowing like me,
you probably need
some catching up.
So let's get our
"Previously On" on, shall we?
(chuckles)
These brilliant baddies,
called the Enclave,
discovered Moon Girl's lab.
Their super-genius leader
is this guy:
Morlak.
And he captured Mimi.
Why, you ask?
To rebuild Moon Girl's
portal generator,
the doohickey that brought
Devil Dinosaur to town.
But how can Mimi
rebuild the portal, you ask?
Because bum-bum-bum!
Mimi is the original Moon Girl.
OMG.
When we left off,
that malodorous Morlak
blew up Moon Girl's lab.
(gasps)
With poor Devil inside!
(Devil squeals)
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
- (crowd cheering)
Now, let's see what happens.
- (fires crackling)
- (distant car alarms)
(gloomy music playing)
(sniffles and cries)
(gasps)
(snarls)
(laughs) Devil!
You're alive!
Lunella!
(gasps)
Casey. You're here!
Oh, I love you,
you big, dumb lizard!
Ah! Oh, I love you so much!
So, what did I miss?
(sighs)
Okay
You already know this part.
Mimi is the original
Moon Girl?
Aye!
Ay, mi cabeza!
Oh, it's like
an ice-cream headache,
but from information.
And she basically kicked me
out of the hover van, Case.
She wouldn't let me help her.
And while I respect
old people generally,
and am terrified
of Mimi specifically,
I think this is the one time
we get to disobey her.
We need backup.
Call Agent Hill and--
About that. I may have abused
my texting privileges.
We have to do this
on our own.
(sighs)
I lost my lab, my tech,
my Mimi, and my hero.
But you still have us.
(purrs)
And I have this!
- Your vision board?
- Yes.
But easily converted
into a detective board.
I watch a lot of crime shows.
We can chart all our clues
on this bad boy.
We don't have tech,
but we do have yarn.
Ooh, and I have
some bee stickers.
Cute!
He's taken her to an island.
Oh, duh. But, like, why duh?
The Enclave's hover van had
a lot of saltwater corrosion,
so it's probably been
crossing the East River.
The island!
Por supuesto!
- (snarls)
- What you got, bud?
(snorting)
- That's my boy!
- Uh, gross.
Hmm, nondescript power source.
Common alloy.
Nothing special about this.
(gasps)
Except this!
Weird, they used flecked glass
as the laser's
partial reflector.
Wow.
I've never seen
anything like that.
I have. This is from
a stained glass window.
Those flecks mean
it's genuine confetti glass
designed by Tisha L'Amour,
and this particular color
was all the rage
in late 19th century mansions.
What? I watch a lot
of home renovation shows too.
Well, hold on, wait a minute.
Zoom in on that island.
(whirring)
Creepy island with a large
mansion on the grounds?
This has got to be where
the Enclave's hideout is.
North Brother Island?
We're coming for you, Morlak.
(sighs) Look,
this is gonna be dangerous.
The Enclave has some
seriously sus tech,
and I don't even have my suit.
Fortunately,
I've been saving this
for a special occasion.
(imitating drum roll)
Drum roll, please.
The Moon Girl
Sequin Stealth Suit!
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
These are two-sided sequins.
Brush them this way,
and it's glam, glam,
thank you, Ma'am.
Brush 'em this way,
and the ultra-reflecty silver
makes it all super cheeky,
stealthy sneaky.
I made it for red carpet events
so we can sneak past
the paparazzi.
Well, you'd sneak. I'd stay.
Let's be honest
about who we are.
Oh, my girl
continues to amaze.
Case, this is genius.
Right? Fashion is a STEM career.
Sewing, Textiles, Extroversion,
and Making cool stuff.
Who needs tech when I have
my team to super-charge me?
(sighs)
You two are seriously clutch.
A 'n' F, Lu:
"Always and Forever."
- (snarls)
- (giggles)
So, you've got that.
I've got a track suit.
And Devil
well, you have those little
sneaky tiptoe arms.
No one will see us coming.
(preparatory pop beats)
(chiming beats playing)
(crickets chirping)
- (snorts)
- (crackling)
(lasers firing)
That's got to be
where they're keeping Mimi.
(explosions)
(funky music playing)
Stop it!
Nobody writes code
that makes my portal sing ♪
Like Moon Girl ♪
Go away and let me work.
Oh, you really think I'm
gonna leave you alone
to mess with my baby?
Nah-ah-ah.
You betrayed me once. I'm good.
You have no idea
what you're messing with Maris.
You could open the door
for all those monsters.
Rebuilding it--
Will finally get me
the credit I deserve.
The credit you deserve.
I don't want my name
anywhere near this.
How can you even
fix your mouth to say that?
We composed a whole new
symphony of science together.
Poured our brains,
sweat, and tears into it.
All I needed was
some acknowledgement.
That my work mattered.
That I matter.
(laid-back R&B music playing)
(both laugh)
Of course you mattered.
Not to them!
They didn't just fire us
from the project, Miriam.
They erased us!
And that's the day I learned
I can't trust anyone.
Not even you.
It's the day I became
a solo artist.
And now, my album's
going to drop,
and the whole world's gonna
recognize my talents.
Like my mama always said,
you can't ignore a man
with an army
of interdimensional monsters.
It's time to emerge
from the shadows.
(laid-back R&B music playing)
(snoring)
Oh, Maris.
There are better ways
to feel the sun on your face.
And how would you know?
You've been hiding for years!
Wasting that beautiful mind,
slinging lemon pepper wings
in some rinky-dink rink.
Does your family even know
who you really are?
I was just
trying to protect them.
If you really want
to protect them, keep working.
And remember,
I know where they live.
(crickets chirping)
- We got to work together.
- 100%.
So we're gonna split up.
Not where I thought
you were going with that.
LUNELLA:
We need to draw those goons out.
So you guys create
a diversion to get--
Get attention? Finally!
My personal and professional
lives collide.
And once I sneak inside
and get Mimi
(snarls)
(crowd cheering)
Exactly! Okay, D, time for
a good old slip-and-dip.
Ooh! Huh?
I watch a lot
of Bo Staff cardio videos.
Let's ring the doorbell,
big guy.
(roars)
SOLDIER: Get her!
Come on, she's just a kid.
Come and get some
burros cabezones!
(snarls)
(screams)
Hyah!
She's getting away!
- (lasers firing)
- (footsteps crashing)
(loud rumbling)
Tidy up, my dear.
We've got guests.
- Mimi!
- Jeans and kites, Lunella.
You trying to get me
an express train
to the pearly gates?
What are you doing here?
You're gonna get caught.
Hello? I'm here to save you.
Oh, baby girl,
you can't save me now.
I'm here trying to save you.
That's crazy.
Let's just smash this thing
and jet out of here.
Don't you understand?
Morlak found me once.
He can find me again.
And now he knows who you are,
who your parents are,
who my husband is.
If I don't do what he wants,
I could lose everyone I love.
Mimi, there's got to be
another way.
We can figure out
how to beat him together.
I am a superhero,
you know.
I know.
I've known all along.
Hold up. For real?
A Black girl
running around New York
using my old code name,
and with a dinosaur?
Wasn't hard to figure out.
Someone rebuilt my invention.
And since my grandbaby
is the smartest there is,
it didn't take long
to put two and two together.
Plus, maybe if you cleaned
your room once in a while,
I wouldn't have found
your secret hideout.
Yesterday wasn't the first time
I'd been down there, you know.
You think that super suit
of yours just de-funks itself.
Hmm, it always was
April fresh.
But why didn't you ever
say anything?
Oh, sweetheart.
I was always there
to catch you if you fell.
But I knew you needed
to do this on your own.
That's just it, Mimi.
I was never on my own.
I had Devil and Casey.
They were always by my side.
You've taken on so much, Mimi.
But hasn't there
ever been a time
when you had someone
to share the burden,
so you didn't have
to face things alone?
(woman vocalizing)
You were there for me ♪
Like no one else ♪
I hold you so high ♪
All those precious jewels ♪
You gave to me ♪
I'll use them all ♪
All I ever wanted ♪
Was to make you proud ♪
I'll do my best ♪
You have been the one ♪
I can count on ♪
My dear ♪
Your love I can't replace ♪
You're the light of my day ♪
My day ♪
My day ♪
You all were always there
to catch me.
How did you get so wise?
Good genes.
(clapping)
Oh! Two phases of
the same Moon Girl.
I was gonna wear something
a little flashier
for the big moment,
but if you want to do it now,
let's get the party started.
(evil techno jazz music playing)
(screams)
(grunts)
(powering up)
- (heavy footfall)
- (both gasp)
(chuckles)
(roaring)
Oh, toe jam.
(uncertain beats)
(pensive piano)
(snarls)
(roaring)
(chuckling)
You really think you can
control these things, Maris?
Oh, I know I can.
I've been studying their DNA
since I snagged a piece of them,
- so I can make this.
- (whistle rings)
(all roar)
They'll do what I want,
when I want.
Just because those monsters
obey you,
doesn't mean we will.
Nothing can stop us
from stopping you.
You do have a plan
to stop him, right?
Uh, 50% plan, 50% "gah!"
But, you know,
it just might work.
(funky music playing)
MIMI:
Oh, I see.
Get out of here, with you!
That's brilliant.
You ready to jam, Moon Girl?
You know it, Moon Girl.
BOTH: Moon Girl Magic!

That's impossible.
You've got brains, Maris,
but you've got no imagination.
(grunts)
This portal is my chance
to make my mark on the world.
The chance they stole from me.
Oh, Maris, don't let them
steal your humanity too.
It's time to let go
of all of it.
You don't need
anybody's approval
to prove you're somebody.
(gasps softly)
Please, Maris,
you can stop this.
(clicking)
It's too late!
(powering up)
(electric crackling)
It's overcharging itself.
No!
Ah!
Mimi!
MARIS: Miriam.
Miriam! Help me!
Please!
I just wanted to be seen!
Oh, Maris, I always saw you.
Maris!
(screams)
Lunella, we got to shut
these shenanigans down!
Oh, I hear you.
(noise fades)
(intense music plays)
I got it!
Mimi, we can cancel out
the energy
if we activate
both of these coils at once.
That's my genius grandbaby.
Wait a minute.
- It'll only work if
- It'll only work
if they're on opposite sides
of the portal.
Lunella Lafayette,
I cannot let you!
You know it's the only way!
I love you, Mimi.
To the moon and back.
(dramatic music playing)
(groans)
(whimpers)
(sniffs)
We're gonna get her back.
(electricity crackles)
We're gonna get her back.
(gasps)
LUNELLA: Where am I?
