Episode 11: The Identity

**Opening:**

(After the opening has passed, we see some flashbacks from the previous episode featuring the interior of the Amazing Store. The flash-back stopped on a plane where Carla was in front of a mirror the memory stopped when we see another reflection than that of Carla.)

Carla (wakes with fear): AHHH!

(Her room is empty, she was still in her pajamas and started dressing to go down to the living room and join her family. Her whole family was waiting for her to have breakfast.)

Cordelia (mouth full of cereals): Ch-hi !

Noa: Don’t talk with your mouths full, Cordelia.

Cordelia (accidentally spits cereal on Noa’s head): Sorry but I’m not as «well-behaved» as you. Go back and play with your stuffed animals.

Noa (caresses her plush): Don’t listen to her Miguel, she is jealous.

Carla: Dad, do you know the Amazing Store?

(Cordelia suddenly chokes on her cereal. Noa laughed but he help her.)

Thomas: Yes, I am even the best customer of this store with good old Richard! Admit that it's in the AMAZING STORE that we find the best items!

Carla and Cordelia: Yeah if you want…

(Noa looked at them interrogatively.)

Carla (hesitates): Say, can we go to the Amazing Store, after ? I’d like to… see something.

Thomas: Let’s wait until your mother gets home from work, I don’t want to be scolded.

Cordelia (wipes her mouth): Why do you want to go there?

Carla: That would be… too long to explain…

Noa: Say always, we could understand.

Carla (hesitates): Well…

(She looked at her family for a long time before saying:)

Carla: No need to explain, you wouldn’t understand.

(The door suddenly opened showing Anna coming home and putting down her handbag.)

Anna (slightly confused): Understand what?

Carla (hesitates): Pfff, nothing I tell you: Everything. O. K.

Noa (teacher tone): Darling: you and Mom are demons, Grandma recently came back to life and to top it all, your old pet is now your sister because legs pushed her. I don’t see what could be harder to explain than that.

Carla (admit): Ok, I’ll tell you why!

(Her whole family had gathered around her ready to listen. Cordelia beckoned to tell her not to reveal that they have superpowers.)

Carla: Well... I actually saw something weird in the Amazing Store...

Anna: Is that it? Is that why you’re worried?

Carla (a little cheeky, crosses arms): Mom, since I saw him, I have been having strange nightmares.

Anna: Premonition is a very powerful power reserved for angels.

Carla (ditto): It’s not like I’m a half...

Anna: No, only a quarter.

Carla (raises an eyebrow): But you always told me I had a good instinct!

(Anna sighed for a long time, she did not want to leave home without resting but she also did not want to hurt her darling daughter.)

Anna (opens the door, exhausted): All right, everyone in the car, and we go.

Carla (victory walk): Thank you very much.

Anna (pressure stroke): Hurry up!

(Once the car starts, it rushes towards the underground parking lot of the shopping center. They then went down and walked into this dark and gloomy parking, they would probably have run away if Carla didn’t push them to go with them, so they end up in front of the red van…)

Van Shopkeeper (mysterious tone): Welcome to my humble business!

Noa (tightens his plush): Creepy!

Carla (embarrassed): Sir? Can I see your van, please? There is something that intrigues me and I would like to see it more closely…

Van Shopkeeper (indifferent): If you want to see something, don’t hesitate…

(The Hendersons then get in the van and start looking with Carla…)

Noa: Wait, what are we looking for again?

Carla: A mirror.

Anna: So you deprived me of my only day off on the year just for a mirror ?!

Thomas: Hey! It’s normal to ask to go to the AMAZING STORE! In addition, it feels good to go out with your family.

Anna (disputes): Pfff, if only you had settled for that when the children were born!

Cordelia (interrupts): Chuuuut! I hear an echo…

Noa (points in a direction): It comes from there.

(The Hendersons then sink into the van and indeed discover a mirror with a sheet on it that prevent them from seeing what is on the other side.)

Carla: Look, there’s still this echo…

Anna: Well, how about we take off that piece of fabric to see what the mirror is hiding?

Carla (hesitates): But what if there was a monster or--

Cordelia (removes the fabric): Hop!
