[Phoebe] Previously on The Thundermans: Undercover...

You've been fighting crime with a new superhero partner.

What? Why would you say that?

[protesters chanting] No chance for Chance!

[both] Chloe?

I didn't mean to make a mess of things.

Well, you did. And best friends don't do that to each other.

-Yeah. -[Phoebe] Why did Max hear you

calling him a target?

Because he is. You both are.

Failure to impress Captain Perfect

will bring an end to your mission

in Secret Shores.

The life you've built here with Chloe

will be over.

♪ upbeat musical transition ♪

Wait, so our entire mission is over

if we don't impress this guy?

We can't let that happen.

Chloe's just getting used to normal life here!

Me too!

I've become a beloved member

of the community

ever since I stopped pooping

in the mayor's backyard.

I know you're both upset.

It's a lot to process. Let me give you a minute.

Everyone good now?

No.

Did all those saves we did together mean nothing?

How could you lie to me?

I'm part of a secret Hero League division

that makes sure Supes are upholding their duty.

This whole thing is doody.

I'm sorry for lying, but I had to follow orders.

What you did was unforgivable.

It's gonna take me at least several hours

to get over this.

I can't believe you're giving this guy a pass!

Actually, I can since you worked with him behind my back.

[sighs] What a night.

Oops, wrong house.

No, Chloe, he's a guest.

More like a pest. Boom! Rhyming insult!

Hi. I'm Captain Perfect.

[sarcastically] Yeah, like that's a real name.

Uh, Chloe, Captain Perfect is here from the Hero League

to review our mission performance.

Should I be worried?

Did Max "Max" things up?

No. [chuckles] This time it was totally Phoebe

that "Maxed" things-- I mean, messed things up.

Chloe, don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine.

I will explain later.

Okay. I'm going to bed.

Let me know if you guys need my help.

Uh, do they usually need your help?

All the time.

Interesting.

She's exaggerating.

We only need her help, like, some of the time.

-Mainly 'cause of Phoebe. -That is so not true.

-It is so true. -No, it's not!

-Is too! -Unh-uh!

Guys, guys!

I didn't come here to cause a rift between you.

I came here to assess your partnership

and help you improve.

I guess Max and I could improve our communication.

He means Max and me.

Oh. Ha! Good luck with that!

I don't get it, though. Why us? We're like Hero League legends.

There's been some concern at the Hero League

over some less-than-stellar incidents.

We have no idea what you're talking about.

-Right, Phoebe? [chuckles] -No. We've been perfect.

Except for the one time we almost caused the town

to be sucked into a black hole.

Oh, and the time we nearly let the superhero High Tide

destroy the school.

-Oh, and-- -[coughs] Stop talking!

[clears throat]

But we've also saved the world a lot.

Noted.

Uh, what part did you note?

I said, "Noted."

How can you judge us as a team

if you've never even seen us work together?

The only team you've seen do saves is you two.

-Fair point. -No, you're wrong!

He said, "Fair point."

Oh! Noted.

First thing tomorrow we should do some testing

to see how you work together as a team.

Question: When they fail, do I still get to live here?

[Chloe] I come from a family of superheroes,

but now, my brother and sister and I

are heading to a brand-new town.

[Phoebe] We're going undercover...

[Max] To try and solve our most important mission yet.

Okay, I'm going to walk you through some mission scenarios

to evaluate your teamwork.

Oh, look, Phoebe. The dummy brought a dummy.

Max, come on. We have to take this seriously.

Yeah. And I seriously think he's a dummy.

Let's begin. Phoebe, blindfold on.

A villain has broken into a weapons depot.

He's cut the power, creating total darkness.

Phoebe, how do you best use your teammate to help?

Well, following protocol,

first, I have Max seal off all exits,

then I deploy my sonar sight gadget.

This allows me to geolocate and disarm the villain,

leaving five seconds for a victory pose.

Ah.

Ooh, just like when you and I

stopped The Blaster Brothers the other day.

That was so much fun. [chuckles]

You could even say it was a...

[both] Blast!

Okay, Max?

Wait. Gideon's sending me memes.

[laughs] How is this monkey flying an airplane?

-Who's Gideon? -It's Max's friend

from back home in Hiddenville.

[chuckling] And now he's skiing.

This monkey's into all kinds of hijinks.

We all love a good monkey meme.

But I need you to focus right now.

Same scenario, except now the villain is in a new spot.

Now, Max, what do you do?

Ignore Phoebe's protocol,

jump through the first door I see,

start kicking some bad guy butt.

[grunting]

And now I'll hit my victory pose.

♪ upbeat musical transition ♪

No way, Jinx. You are so wrong!

No, I'm not!

Hey. What's going on?

Well, I'm tempted to keep it a secret

since this is apparently what we do now!

Okay, okay.

I should have told you guys I was going to the party

that you were protesting.

Correct.

But I felt that I couldn't!

You guys were kinda being harsh about B.C.

[sighs] Also correct.

I'm really sorry, though.

[sighs] You seriously expect us to forgive you?

Because we totally do!

That was the worst ten hours of our lives.

Being upset with you is harder than Nana Jinx's pancakes.

I love that woman, but she cannot cook.

[sighs] Now that that's behind us,

we actually do need your help settling

-a very important debate. -What is it?

I say the Loch Ness Monster is totally a dinosaur.

But I say it's obviously a magical sea dragon.

Well, those are the only two options.

You guys talking Nessie?

I took a submarine tour of Loch Ness.

Bad news: She doesn't exist.

Well, excuse us for believing in a little magic!

Next you'll tell us that Bigfoot isn't real

despite all the video evidence!

What video evidence?

He's talking about the beef jerky commercials.

Let me guess,

next you'll tell us that beef jerky isn't real?

I eat it all the time.

Oh. So you don't care about animals.

I'll just go somewhere that's not here.

Guys, instead of chasing B.C. off,

you could try and get to know him.

But you saw it. We don't have anything in common with him.

Yeah. The guy hates beef jerky.

And probably kittens!

Can you guys just please give B.C. a chance?

The same chance you gave Nana Jinx's pancakes.

You want me to use him as a paperweight?

You know what I mean.

[sighs] I guess we could give the guy a chance.

Thanks.

And now I want pancakes.

[sighs] So how are we supposed to relate to some rich kid?

We don't have fancy yachts.

No, but we can look like we do.

[in hoity-toity voice] Now we look rich and fancy.

Indeed we do, my dear Kombucha. Indeed we do.

♪ upbeat musical transition ♪

Okay, next test.

You'll have to work together as a team to disarm this detonator.

It's the same kind we used last week on The Blaster Sisters.

[chuckles] They were so mad about their brothers.

[both laugh]

[laughs mockingly]

That's how annoying you guys are right now.

-You have one minute. And... go! -[timer beeping]

Get started, Phoebe. I'll be right back.

Max, what are you doing?

Well, Gideon asked me to send him some super snacks,

so I'm using the resize-alizer

to send him some mega-sized candy.

[zapping loudly]

It's no skydiving monkey, but it'll do.

Max, please. Help me.

We're supposed to be working together.

Better cut them quick.

You only have 15 seconds left.

Why cut wires when you can just do this?

[rumbling]

Max, I'm not really sure how to score whatever you just did,

so I'm just gonna draw a sad face.

You know what? I'm so done with these dumb tests.

I know how to be a real hero in real situations,

and if the Hero League isn't cool with that,

then that's too bad.

-I'm out of here. -Max, come back.

I will because I forgot my giant candy.

Is this not proper pacing protocol for you?

Why did you tank that test?

If we don't pass this, this whole mission will be over.

That doesn't matter. It's clear you two think I'm the problem.

It's why you're sneaking around behind my back.

How's my pacing now?

Fine, I shouldn't have been doing saves with Captain Perfect

but working with him showed me you and I have a real problem

as partners.

And the problem goes by the name of Phoebe.

[gasps] Me-be?

All your rules and protocols are what's messing us up.

I'm gonna prove I'm better without you

by taking on a new partner.

Max, you cannot replace me with Gideon.

Uh, actually I can, and I did,

That I need a partner I can trust.

Is-Is that me?

Yes.

Max, I am going to have to note in my report

that you're teaming up with Gideon.

Call me The Giddler.

Don't.

My boy Giddy's no slouch.

He was given powers for a T-Force mission,

and helped us take down the Villain League.

Yeah! Ooh!

Yeah, but then, after the mission was over,

the Hero League took the powers away, so...

Oh! Boo!

But now he's a hero again.

[laughs] Yeah! Woo!

Max? Can I have a word with you, please?

Sure. Uh, Gideon, go ahead and check the place out.

Now that we're partners, this is your house too.

Yes! No more sharing bunk beds with my Grandpa Giddy.

[chuckles]

Listen, I get it. You're angry.

But going down this path will definitely tank

Captain Perfect's Hero League report.

Listen to her, Max.

You have to send Gideon home so we can focus

on fixing our partnership.

Sorry, but I have a new partner.

And he is an absolute unit.

Yeah, I am. Is that a good thing?

Great thing, buddy.

Um, Gideon. Uh...

what type of superhero training do you have?

I once took a survival course at the library.

And did you pass?

I did not.

But I did get this sick fanny pack

filled with energy bars, a rain poncho,

and an emergency glow stick.

[chuckles] See, Phoebe? You don't have a fanny pack.

Max, you can't actually go through with this.

Watch me.

I'm gonna prove you're the real problem

by being a great teammate to someone

as pathetic and clueless as Gideon.
