I couldn't shake the feeling that there's something you're not telling me. Are you going somewhere? I was... I was going to get Cyrus. On the hoverboard? What if someone sees you out there? I know how to be careful, Mom.
What's going on with you? Why did you get all emotional when we left? The hugs and the group picture, your pep talks to Birdie and Brinley? I'm just excited for you guys to have a night to celebrate. Holiday, I'm serious. You're not acting like yourself. You're worrying for nothing. I'm fine. Go have fun. Look me straight in the eye and tell me I won't regret leaving you kids alone tonight. Stop, Mom!
You can't guard over me forever. You and dad, you've done everything you could to protect me. But there comes a time when you just have to let go. Holiday, I'm never letting go. What are you asking? I'm asking for you to go out to dinner with Dad. And I'm asking you, where are you going? Mom, I... I'm sorry. Holiday, what is it? You can tell me anything. I think I'm just... A lot's been going on, you know, with Whittier and Badger, and I guess...
When I saw you and dad all dressed up, I just had a moment where I was like, wow, they're mine. How lucky am I? You want to know something? That's what I say to myself all day, every day about you kids. Cyrus takes out the trash without being asked. Wow, he's mine. Birdie bakes brownies for the family. And burns the pan. But I still say, wow, she's mine. And you, you, my sweet holiday.
There isn't a moment I don't look at you and think about where you came from and what your life might have been like if we hadn't found you. And I am just overcome with gratitude that you're ours. All these months... I just wanted to be normal. But tonight, I realized I'm better than normal. I'm an Anders. Hey, it's getting late. You have an anniversary to celebrate. And you have to get to Cyrus? Right.
Holiday, I know that you have these amazing gifts and that you're braver and smarter than anyone I know. It's okay, Mom. Javi always keeps me safe. Javi says don't worry. Your dad and I don't have to go out. If there's something... Yes, you do. Okay. See you in the morning? Yeah. See you soon. Mom? I love you. I love you too, baby. Please don't let this be goodbye, goodbye. Okay, hubby. Let's do this. Ready when you are.
Hey, Cyrus. We just landed outside Whittier Corp. Where should I go? Head to the loading dock. The evening guard always stops at the vending machine before his shift. That should give you a few extra seconds to slip past him and get inside. Okay. Where do I go once I'm in? You'll see signs for it, but keep your head down. You don't want to take a chance of being recognized. Gift shop, signs, head down, got it. Okie dokie, here I go.
Are you having second thoughts? No, not at all. But, I mean, I am about to walk into the place that made me. The place I once called home. It's only normal I'd be a little weirded out. more afraid someone will remember me and never let me leave. Nah, you got this, Holiday. You're a superhero, remember? Only in your book. Only book that counts.
Thank you for doing this with me, Sai. Thanks for everything. You're seriously the best big brother a lab experiment could ever ask for. I think you're cool too, sis. But maybe this can wait until after we break into the database? Yes. Totally. Sorry. See you soon. Okay, hubby. Let's do this. Time to go back inside the place where it all began for us. Whittier Corporation. where the future is happening today. Like right now. Yikes.
