The Powers of Matthew Star

Dr. Bentley Pierce is running the perimeter of the grounds of an estate, looking for a way out, when he trips and falls. Mr. Weston walks up and tells him he can't leave; he hasn't found his happy place yet. Weston tells his men to take Pierce back inside. Matt and Walt are playing guards. Matthew is winning by several household chores and $8,000,000. Walt is about to win when the communication rings flash. When he accuses Matt of bluffing and wants to see his cards, Matt transmutes them into blank cards when they are flipped over. They meet General Wymore at a gym. While Wymore huffs and puffs on a stationary bike, he shows them a picture of Dr. Pierce, a famous economist, who's missing from his home in Seattle. There are a number of geniuses missing and the general wants to put a stop to it, especially since the nefarious Omar Mustafa has arrived in Seattle, too. He also tells the Quadrians they have 58 minutes to make the plane. Weston is discussing the drugging of the geniu

Artemis space shuttle releases satellite into space and switches to the ALM automatic landing mode. Mission Control is happy. At Parkland Space Center, a fire truck is let onto the base and hooks up a fire hose to a building and turns on a gas cannister. Mission Control begins passing out. Two men run in, dressed like firemen, and pull a device out of the computer. They unhook the hose and drive away. When Dr. Autrey at Mission Control wakes up, he realizes that the shuttle will land in 36 hours and has no landing device. At home, Matthew is building a house of cards while watching the space shuttle deploy its cargo. Walt can't believe the primitiveness of it all. The communication rings flash and it's time to miss dinner again. Matt and Walt meet General Wymore at the movies; an alien movie in particular. The ALM system has been stolen and time is running out for the space shuttle. The shuttle can't land without it and there is no backup device. Their contact at Parkland will b

Tony Garcia goes up to hotel clerk and says he is looking for Caroline Ashley. He goes up to her room, but is called into a neighboring room. Before he knows what is happening, he is shot with an animal tranquilizer. A different man grabs Mr. Garcia's ID and puts it in his own pocket. A reporter named Burnside is pestering Caroline while she works on her dirt bike. He wants an interview; she wants her mechanic. The man that shot the real Tony Garcia shows up and claims he is Tony Garcia, her new mechanic. Matt is playing darts with Terri. She's very bad, but he makes her better with telekinesis and says she's a natural. They are about to kiss when his communication ring from Wymore goes off. He leaves Terri, but tells her to keep practicing. As Walt and Matt wait for the General to arrive at an airplane hangar, Matt complains that his love life is being destroyed by Wymore. Wymore shows up in a trenchcoat ala Casablanca and informs them Sherman Ashley of the State Department

Matt takes Pam a plate of food. She's working as a candy striper for Dr. Lindsey at Memorial Hospital. Dr. Lindsey is frustrated at his thermomagnetic scanner and Pam thinks it would take a better image of Matt than a dummy. She promises it's just like a photograph. Matt brings the photos of his chest (shirt) home. Walt is grading tests until he spots the photos. They have thermomagnetic scanners back home and knows exactly what they do. He asks Matt why hospitals would spend thousands of dollars on these machines if all they do is take regular pictures. They now have an image of Matthew showing his two hearts and fifteen ribs. Matt feels bad and Walt says he'll take care of it. Dressed in a doctor's coat, Walt goes to the hospital and has Dr. Lindsey paged to the ER. With Dr. Lindsey gone, Walt sneaks in and deletes Matthew's data. Dr. Lindsey is aggravated and tries to find out who paged him, then returns to his room. Walt is forced to hide in an adjoining room and inadver

Matt and Pam are at the carnival. Pam is having a hard time popping balloons with darts, but Matt doesn't have any better luck. Madam Paloma, a fortune teller, is watching them intently, as is a man picking up litter. Matt sees the gypsy and asks if Pam wants her fortune told. She says, no, it's probably just an old lady from Iowa. They hear a girl crying and go to help. The girl has been trying to win at the Wheel of Fortune, but the wheel keeps moving past the winner's spot, even though she wins. Matt and Pam promise to help her win. The man spins the wheel and, once again, it ""slips"" out of the winner's spot (thanks to a control he's working with his foot). A little telekinesis returns the wheel to the proper place and the delights girl wins a bear. The man is not so delighted. Madam Paloma has been watching the interaction with interest (as is man picking up litter). She comes forward and offers to tell their fortunes. Matt seems drawn to her, although he doesn't realize

A set of binoculars (not to mention a cougar) watch Walt, Matt, Coach Curtis, Pam, Lisa, Anne, Fletcher and Ted hike into the mountains to build a survival shack. (Anne's boyfriend had died from exposure). On the way up, Pam sprains her ankle. Walt mentions privately to Matt that Matt's father loved the mountains. That night, Lisa is complaining about just about everything. Fletcher won't accept help in setting up his tent. Ranger Campbell arrives and warns them to be a cautious. Two patients from West Valley Mental Hospital escaped into the mountains some time back and might be dangerous. Arguments start and Lisa runs off, then screams. The others pull her down from a rope snare. When they get back to camp, the camp has been destroyed, along with their radio. The group votes to stay. The next day, while gathering wood for the shack, the girls take a quick dip in a pond. Something or someone grabs Lisa's leg and frightens her. During dinner around the campfire, the cougar thre

In Italy, a supply truck in the midst of a convoy travels through rocky hills under armed guard. Terrorists watching from higher in the hills throw grenades and start firing. Another grenade causes something in a wooden crate to fall out of the back of the truck and roll off the edge of a cliff, followed by an avalanche of heaving rocks. The terrorists are not happy. Neither are the American soldiers. Walt is talking to General Tucker on the phone. Tucker needs help to retrieve an Anti-Gravity Device (AGD) from its rock burial. Walt refuses, since it's the middle of a semester. Better to wait until next school break. Meanwhile, Matthew opens window to feed Sam and blows cash off desk, which is for the school dance. Matthew is president of the School Dance Committee. He and Pam aren't seeing eye to eye on the choice of music. The school principal enters Walt's classroom the next day and announces that Matt is a finalist in the International Science Fair Contest, to be held in I

Matt and Pam are discussing his inability to get around to buying concert tickets. Jerry is trying to start lawn mower that runs on garbage. Monica explaining science project to Walt about Solar Prime paint and its ability to withstand hot and cold temperatures. Matt and Pam drop by to leave note for Walt. They hear Monica talking and while waiting, they sniff her paint. Matt can smell it; Pam can't. They leave. Monica's father is bragging on her, saying that people already interested in paint. The garbage-powered lawn mower is running out of control. Matt and Pam pass it and laugh as it goes by. It circles back around to the pair, but Matt is unable to stop it with telekinesis. A distressed Matt discussed the problem with Walt. Matt tries to open the over door, but is unable to. Walt reassures him that it is probably temporary and pulls a pizza out of the oven. Commenting that the pizza smells good, Matt remembers that he could smell the Solar Prime and that Pam couldn't. Walt a

April is singing (badly) at Backtrack Studios. The producers, including Joe Allen, roll their eyes. He's got a suitcase. A black man with a white suit enters a nightclub with a suitcase of his own. There's a meeting upstairs and we realize now that the black man looks exactly like Walt Shepherd. Three cops are waiting at a table expectantly, and head upstairs. As diamonds are exchanged for cash, the cops pounce. The lookalike shoots one of the cops and escapes through the nightclub. Walt comes home late after browsing at an RV center for three hours. When he sees Matthew using his telekinesis to return a book to a shelf, he challenges him to try it blindfolded, since his father had the ability to do it. The neighbor's dog distracts Matt's concentration and a broken window results. At Valley Hospital, two cops discuss their dead partner, Robert Carson, and vow revenge. Detective Crawford remembers seeing the killer at Crestridge High; a teacher. Crawford goes to the school to que
