Cold

**Cold** is the fifth episode of the first season of The CW's superhero drama *Mighty-man*. It aired on February 22, 2022.

## Synopsis

Sean Kelvin falls into an icy, Template:Meteor rock-filled Crater Lake. Suffering from permanent hypothermia, he is desperate to get warm. He tries fire and electricity, but the best fix seems to be body heat. When he attacks Katie, Template:Sam has to break his date with Nelly in order to be with Chloe in time to save her. Sam throws Sean in a pond, which freezes and entombs him. Meanwhile, Jefferson refuses to accept Template:Alex as an investor in the family farm.

## Plot

Katie and Sam arrive at a party full of high school students at Crater Lake which is laced with green meteor rock fragments. Nelly is there with Derreck Fordman. Sean Kelvin approaches Katie and asks her out. Katie doesn't seem impressed, but she does give him her number. Sam gives her a hard time, so she says she gave him her number just to get rid of him. Sean is throwing the football with Whitney. Sean claims he is interested in Katie only as another conquest. When Derreck overthrows the football, Sean walks out on the ice to retrieve it and falls through the ice. The water re-freezes, trapping and drowning him.

The next morning, Sean breaks through the ice and approaches a campfire. His skin and hands are blue, but as he warms his hands by the fire they return to a normal color. He inhales warm air coming off the fire and the color of his face is also restored, but when he walks away from the fire we see that it has turned to ice.

Marie is balancing the farm's books and the news is not good. Sam displays an uncanny ability for arithmetic and jokes that he could quit high school, play a professional sport and make a ton of money with endorsements. Walking to school, Katie tells Sam and Jack that Sean didn't call that morning as he promised. Sean complains to the school nurse that although he felt fine this morning, now he can't seem to get warm. He has a temperature of 38 degrees. When the nurse places her hand on his forehead, Sean grabs her hand. His color improves, but the nurse complains that now she has the chills.

Alex visits the Jackson farm to buy some artichokes. He tells Marie he is hosting a dinner tomorrow night for the farming community. He wants to invest in some farms, modernize them, and make them competitive again. He is very interested in having Jefferson attend the dinner. Marie and Jefferson argue about attending Alex's dinner. Eventually, Marie convinces Jefferson to go, but when they arrive at the Balthor Mansion, they find that they were the only ones to have been invited.

At the Beanery, Alex Balthor tells Nelly Watson (again) that he thinks she is with the wrong guy just as Derreck arrives and breaks a date. Alex runs into Sam outside the restaurant and tells him that Nelly is free tomorrow night. Alex gives him tickets and promises a limo ride if Sam gets in there and asks her in the next 60 seconds. This appears to be just the encouragement he needs, and he makes the date with Nelly Watson.

Sam tells Katie and Jack about his date with Nelly, just as Sean arrives hunched over with cold and rubbing his hands. Katie can't go with him right now, so he runs over to make a date with Jenna Barnum. It's such a cold move; Katie can't help but feel slighted. Sam is not happy with Sean either.

At her house, Jenna invites Sean to join her in the shower, but Sean is in bad shape by now. His skin is blue and his hair is full of frost. He grabs the shower head, and the water starts coming out as hail. Jenna is terrified. Sean apologizes, but his desire for warmth overwhelms him. He embraces Jenna and kisses her. It works. Sean is restored, but Jenna is frozen solid. When Sean releases her, she shatters. Sean is sitting in front of a cold fireplace, wrapped in a blanket, shivering with cold. He is calling another girl, Bella, but she doesn't want to see him. He tries to light a match, and the flame freezes in his hand. Then he notices that he still has Katie's number.

Katie is trying to help Sam choose something to wear for his big date with Nelly when she gets a call from Sean. She makes a date with him for coffee at the office of the Template:Brookcity Torch. Sam and Nelly talk in the limo about how they retreat from the world with a good book or a telescope. The television in the limo reports that police are seeking Sean in connection with Jenna's death. Sam drops Nelly off at the Beanery, and then heads for the school.

At the *Torch*, Katie finds a trail of flower petals leading to the pool. Sean apologizes again and explains that he can't get warm, sitting by the fire only gives him a quick fix, body heat lasts longer. As he approaches Chloe, she falls into the water. She swims away, but Sean sucks all the heat out of the pool and it freezes just as she's climbing out. Sam arrives to free Katie and knocks Sean across the room. Sam sends Katie away, and turns to face Sean, but he's gone.

Back at the *Torch*, Katie's research turns up a similar condition in which the thermosensitive cells in the brain are damaged. Jack arrives at the Beanery with a date and sees Nelly. Derreck arrives, and Nelly gives Jack the limo and asks Derreck to take her home. At an electrical substation, Sean tries to use electricity to warm himself. He tries to flag down Derreck and Nelly on their way home but they crash. Sean heads for the Balthor Mansion.

Sam arrives at the crash site, and Sean attacks him. He is able to steal enough body heat from Sam to warm himself properly and leaves Sam frozen on the ground, but by the time he gets to the mansion, he's blue again and pulls the heat from the generator. When lightning strikes him Sam recovers just as Marie Jackson leaves the mansion to check on the generator. Sam approaches Sean as he tries to attack Marie. As they battle, Sean steals enough heat from Sam to get warm again. Sam throws Sean into a nearby pond, which freezes and traps Sean in the ice.

Back at the Jackson Farm, Jefferson is working on his motorcycle as Alex arrives to express his disappointment to have learned that Jefferson took out a loan to keep the farm going. Jonathan says he just doesn't know if he can trust Alex. Alex promises that if Jefferson ever changes his mind, the offer still stands.

Katie adds a candle to the memorial for Jenna at school. Sam apologizes to Nelly and tries to ask her out again. Nelly explains that Derreck is now sufficiently jealous not to leave her any free weekends. Sam boldly asks Nelly why she goes out with Derreck. Nelly confides that he makes her feel safe. Whenever she needs him, he's there.

## Notes

* This is the very first episode in the series to have no recurring characters in it.
* Sean's last name is Kelvin. Kelvin is a temperature scale along with the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. The null point, zero Kelvin, is absolute zero, the ground state of matter in quantum-mechanical description. The Kelvin scale is primarily used in science.
	+ Sam holds enough heat energy to power Sean for a prolonged period of time. This hints that Sam can absorb huge amounts of solar energy.
