The Witkid and Pasternak? Where'd they go, Cam? Camilla! I don't... yellow... calling... 700... processor... processor... What? I think... A732... R. And then... Anders, what's wrong with her? I don't know, Adam. She just started malfunctioning. Liar! Holiday, explain this. Don't ask me. I just got here when you did. Do you two think I'm stupid?

No, Adam, don't! Let go of Cyrus, you're choking him! That's the point! You either tell me what you did to Cam, or I crushed Nerd Boy's windpipe with my bare hands! Dad, are you sure this is where Angelica brought Mom? To this random house in the middle of this random neighborhood? According to the traffic cameras, yes, it's called a safe house, Bird. It's meant to be unassuming. A way to hide people in plain sight.

Very sneaky. We've searched the premises, Mr. Anders. There's no sign of your wife or Miss Graves, but there's something you should see. Bertie, you wait here. Yeah, like that's gonna happen. Lead the way, Mr. Soldier Man. Over on the table, sir. Badger! I wouldn't go over there, miss. No! I was unable to get a heartbeat, sir. It's okay. Badger isn't a... I'll take it from here. Yes, sir. Poor kid.

Dad, what happened? He's completely shut down and they... It's like they opened him up. Yeah. I'll see if I can power him back on. Dad, I mean, you're a smart guy and all, but even Cyrus couldn't pull this off. I think I'll give it a shot anyway. I realize my doctorate in engineering from MIT can't compare to my 13-year-old son's STEM competition win, but...

You have a doctorate from... Please just save Badger. I'll do my best. Maybe you should wait outside. Okay, I'm going to try to get into the Genesis file on Whittier's flash drive. Good idea, Bertie. Come on, Bruce. I'm going to need your help. Let me just get out my laptop. Pedro's going to be okay, right? He has to be. Okay, insert the flash drive and... There's the file. Genesis. Click on that, and... I get a password prompt. Hmm. What would Dr. Whittier choose for a password? Holiday?

Nope. Holiday Project. Thornton Rust? Um, Adelaide? Yes! Clearly no one ever taught that dude how to pick a secure password. I'm in. Okay, let's see what we've got here. Yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hmm, yeah. Whoa, what? Research notes? On an Anders child? Bruce, what did we just find?

He's turning blue. Please put Cyrus down. You won't tell me what you did to Cam. You're gonna tell me where to find Casey and Brinley. That or bro here goes the way of Dr. Whittier. All I have to do is tighten my ribbon. Okay, okay, stop. The warehouse. They went to the warehouse. Was that so hard? Cyrus, talk to me. Are you okay? I'm going to access the security cameras.

I'll be able to see exactly what those girls are doing in the warehouse. How can you access the cameras? There are no monitors in this cave. Wait, what's happening? What are you doing? Adam? Is there... Rolling back in his head. Accessing network, connecting to cameras in Quadrant A1-6 and B2-5, camera 4, tilt down, scanning left to right. Wait, he can see what the cameras see? Like, in his mind? He must be connected to every computer on the island. They're not at the warehouse. Where are they?

Chop-chop, Brinley. Casey. Hurry up. Excuse me, we're going as fast as we can. It's not easy walking uphill in these shoes. Try it while wrapped in insulation. Can't have you zapping us now, can we, Casey? What are we doing up here at the top of a waterfall? Makes you kind of dizzy, doesn't it? Looking down? Gotta admit, the bots know how to build an island.

How did you guys find it? We got the coordinates from your friend Badger. Badger? You have Badger with you? Left him back in Juno. He's had some minor, okay, major surgery. So he's not exactly like his old self. What did you do to him, is he? I don't know. Can you actually kill something that was never alive? I hate you, you evil! Look at her trying to hit me! Let me go, that stupid pig! Brinley, watch out! He's got a fireball! Headed straight for your face if you don't back off! You monster!

Listen to him. He means it. Okay. Okay. Well, stop. That's what I thought. What do you want with us, Angelica? Well, we know from Badger's hard drive that Cyrus and Holiday are somewhere on this island working with Adam on his own version of the Holiday Project. You're going to take me to them. Sorry to say, Sci-Fi and Labor Day have left the island.

They went back to Juno. Looks like your intel was wrong, boss. Sorry, not sorry. You seem to forget, Casey. I can always tell when you're lying. Magnus, throw her over the waterfall. What? No, no, no, let me go! Stop! Leave her alone! Brinley, you remember our little discussion, don't you? It's time to think about you. Once Casey takes a header down these falls, you'll have Cyrus all to yourself. Don't listen to her, Brinley.

All you have to do is tell me where Holiday and her brother are and I promise you can leave this island with Cyrus and live happily ever after. Isn't that what you want? For this nightmare to finally be over? Yes, friendly I thought so so tell me dear Where can I find holiday?
