A Hero Returns
Brayden Mills walks into the arcade and hands the cashier a whole wad of tickets. Using his newly acquired powers, he manages to convince her to give him the top prize before walking out.
Brayden uses his powers to form a monstrous electrical smoke monster to destroy the thug. Yep, the Crooked Man is back and this time he means business. Brayden also hitches a ride with a random couple too, whom he brainwashes into traveling across to Atlanta. Why? Well, that’s where Dion is.
Dion, a young man from Atlanta, sets out to clean up the neighborhood one bully at a time. This is a problem because Nicole, a young woman from Atlanta, is on a video call with BIONA, who encourage her to keep Dion’s powers under the radar for the time being. ..
Nicole offers Dion a job on the board, after a little chat about his extracurricular activities of course. She’s been tracking his phone and knows he’s been slipping out to do some superhero training.
Jonathan, Dion and Esperanza attend school, but things take an unfortunate turn when Brayden shows up as a new student.
Nicole and Dion are in the living room, talking about their classes. Nicole is excited about her new class, but Dion is a little more reserved. He seems to be in awe of Tevin, who seems like a really cool guy. However, it turns out that Tevin is actually Dion’s trainer. Nicole doesn’t want to get romantically involved with a Powered being, but there’s undeniably chemistry here.
David Marsh, the VP of Operations, tries to ask Suzanne out on a date. This doesn’t go as planned, but it does lead to more information about the sinkholes. ..
A new type of energy has been discovered, and it seems to be coming from Brayden and the Crooked Energy. This energy is said to be harmful, and it’s spreading across the globe. What is this energy, and where did it come from? ..
That night, Dion heads home but he forgets his phone, having left it at BIONA. Believing he can make it there and back again before Nicole realizes, he teleports to the building and finds it on the bench. Unfortunately, he also hears footsteps echoing across the floor. Dion quickly teleports back to the lobby and makes his escape. ..
David and Suzanne chat in the hallway about the sinkhole readings. David mentions that they are off the charts. ..
As we cut across to the sinkhole itself, flowers sprout up, leading to strange fluorescent bugs attacking one of the security guards. This seems to be the start of something much larger, and surprisingly a powerless Pat shows up at BIONA and warns Suzanne that they’re in danger.
The Episode Review
Dion returns with a relatively good start, introducing Brayden and the new threat for Dion to face this season. The Crooked Energy is still here, in a slightly different form this time, and the fight between Dion and Brayden looks like it will be far more intriguing proposition, pitting these kids against one another. ..
The Raising Dion episode “The Light and the Breezy” delivered a decent enough opener. ..
