### Full Plot Summary

Pat is in his cell, when Brayden uses his powers to mentally project himself in there and call Pat out for what Pat did to his father. Pat realizes Brayden has the Crooked Energy now and tries to warn him of what that power does to people, but Brayden claims Pat secretly wants the Crooked Energy back, and threatens him into keeping this a secret.

Kat and Tevin take Dion to the cabin in the woods as promised, though Kat is clearly no fan of camping and sees danger everywhere. Unbeknown to them, Brayden has followed them there and is using the crows to spy on them. While Kat stays at the cabin, Tevin and Dion train their powers in the woods.

At Biona, Pat discovers that powered people like Dion have a special, third DNA strand, and hopes to isolate this P-DNA as he calls it to make a cure for Nicole. Biona agents have managed to capture a plant creature and bring it to the lab, but it’s not the creature that attacked Nicole, which means that there are more. Suzanne has Kate videocall Pat to exchange ideas, even though Kate hates Pat. When further research reveals the plant creature used to be human, Nicole realizes her infection is turning her into one as well. Fearing that she could potentially infect other people as well, she has Suzanne put her in a quarantine room.

Meanwhile, with the school closed, Kwame has moved the repetitions for the musical to the M. Hudson Community Center. Esperanza is still no over her stage freight, and Kwame’s high demands don’t make things easier. She video calls Dion for support, who tries his best to encourage her. Since her father is out of town, Esperanza decides to invite Gary over to see her show, and makes an invitation for him.

Nicole is visited in her quarantined room by Simone and Janell, and Nicole has a good talk with Janell regarding her powers. They are interrupted by Pat, who admits he is unable to isolate the P-DNA strand. Janelle, wanting to help Nicole, uses her powers to break into the lab, and shows off her science skills by isolating the DNA. Having seen what her daughter can do, Simone and Janelle finally have a good mother-daughter talk, while Pat now has what he needs to find the cure. He comes up with a serum, and they test it on the captured plant monster, but the creature dies instead of being cured.

In the woods, Dion, scared by what Brayden tried to make him do, admits to Tevin that he is afraid he might become evil. Tevin tries to convince him he did the right thing by not giving in to Brayden’s peer pressure. Brayden strikes, and uses his powers to try and make Tevin attack Dion. Tevin is able  to resist long enough to tell Dion to run. Brayden next sicks a flow of crows onto Dion, who tackle him to the ground. Brayden then rushes in and grabs Dion’s head as the episode ends.
