==Plot==
While Oscar faces legal ramifications order over his factory, Penny is tasked with looking after BeBe and CeCe while hanging out with her friends at the museum. BeBe gets lost and climbs atop a plane and shows no fear when he falls. When Penny brings the twins home, BeBe does the same thing again, much to Oscar and Trudy's shock and concern. Dr. Payne believes that something is off with BeBe and sends them to Dr. Lord who tells them that BeBe is on the Autism Spectrum. She offers to have him attend her school, but Oscar refuses on the grounds that he believes nothing is wrong with him. 
Penny opens up to Dr. Lord as she believes that this will bounce back on her and stress her out, which she agrees. Oscar is forced to take the twins to work with him where he fails the inspection and has his factory shut down for good. He finally relents in letting BeBe go to the special school and accepts that his son is different. Just as they leave, BeBe and his new friends are revealed to have superpowers.
