¶ Cyrus's Miraculous Return
Birdie! Mom, is dad okay? Did you get him out? Not yet, sweetie. Where's Cyrus? What happened? I don't know. After you left, I went to the cafeteria to get all of Sleeping Beauty's favorite foods to wave under his nose. So I got pizza and a double burger with double cheese and some chicken fingers and lo mein and ice cream, which was melting so I had to eat it myself. I get the idea.
Right. I'm so glad we upgraded the food here, by the way. Anyway, I came back to Sai's room with the beast and he was gone. Ivan? Yes, Dr. Anders. Can you locate Cyrus? I already tried this. He said he couldn't- Cyrus Anders is in his hospital bed. What? Ivan, you told me you didn't know where he was. Cyrus Anders is in his hospital bed. Yeah, we heard you. Come on, Bird. Traitor.
Cyrus? Mom, I swear he wasn't here before. Cyrus, can you hear me? Mom, look! His arm! It's moving! He's squeezing my hand! Sweetie, can you hear me? His eyelids are fluttering. Cyrus is coming back to us! Everything okay in here? We heard yelling. Birdie? Bruce! Badger! Like that. Come on in. Sai? It's Mom. And Birdie and Badger and Bruce. Can you hear us? Hey, buddy. So he's okay?
Better than okay. He's waking up. Right, Mom? I hope so. Awesome, because we were worried when... When what? You need to tell them. Tell us what? When we were on the roof. We... Saw someone escaping the building who we think It was the woman birdie saw in his room the one who hurt Cyrus the one who is maybe not human
How did you know it was her? Well, uh, for starters, she was on a hoverboard. Oh, great. Did you follow her? Where did she go? We tried, but we lost her. Maybe she's the reason Cyrus wasn't in his bed. But he is in his bed.
¶ Brinley's Secrets and Academy Threat
But he wasn't. Long story. See, it all started when- Brin-ly. Cyrus? Did you say something? He's opening his eyes. Brin-ly. He said Brin-ly. Frankly, a little disappointing that that's his first word, but I'mma go with it. Cyrus, it's me, Mom, and Birdie. I really missed you, big brother. Missed you more. Oh, Cyrus. I'm so glad you're back. Welcome back, sweetheart. Good to see you. Hi. Who invited Badger? Is that a joke? He made a joke! Your voice, you sound like Bruce.
I don't think he sounds anything like me. Bruce the Frog. Good one. You've still got it, brother. Holiday? She's with Cam on a mission. We didn't tell her about you, cause... You know, she's saving the world and stuff. Good. Dad? He'll be here as soon as he can. It's going to light up his world to know you're okay. But we have like a million questions. What happened? How did you get hurt? What were you doing in Florida? Brinley. What about her?
Brinley, I need you to promise you'll stay inside. Those people on the boat could come back at any moment. I'll make sure she stays put. Well done, Cybot. Dude, the farmy dude said they wanted the secrets of the Elixir Academy. What are they talking about? Could be many things. Jude! I'm sure you've figured out this isn't a normal school or a normal island.
There's a reason those people pretended to be army officials sent here by Mr. Anders. Mr. Who? Anders? Isn't that his name? I... James and Monica Anders. Oh no. It's happening again. Maybe you hit your head in that fall on the boat. More like the minute I got back on this island I started forgetting again. Is that part of it? It's definitely related.
¶ Elixir Academy Under Lockdown
Atención. This is a school-wide lockdown. Go to your designated safety space. There are interlopers just offshore. Repeat, go to your... They're coming back, aren't they? They didn't get what they needed from you and KC. So they're going to try and storm the island. Brindley. Hi, Dr. Solstice. Hey, Penn. Hey, Brind. You were trying to leave the island. I wasn't trying to leave. I got kidnapped.
Okay, I was at first, but I have to get home. It's an emergency, and you said a storm was coming in when one clearly wasn't. Oh, this is a storm. Believe me. It's clear you still don't realize how much trouble you've caused us. How can you expect me to know I'm causing you trouble when you won't tell me what's going on? What's going on is that we're under attack because of you. Come, Pen. Everyone to your safe spaces. Andale. That went well. Come with me.
This way, into your oasis room. Are you sure this is my designated safe zone? No, this is not where we're supposed to be right now. Then why did you bring me here? Because you asked about the secrets of this school. I want to help you understand. You trust me, don't you? I mean, I'm trying, but you're still pretty sus. It'll have to do. We haven't known each other long.
But I feel a connection with you and I'm glad you didn't leave the island tonight We need you and I truly believe you're here for a reason. I Think you can change things for the better If that doesn't matter to you... No, I... Holiday Corps, I have to take this. Hello? Dr. Anders? Hello? Are you there?
