Please tell me you had nothing to do with what happened upstairs.
I had nothing to do with what happened upstairs.
Don't look at me.
I wasn't even near the place.
I was in my room.
Oh, so it's every man for himself, huh? No problem, I'm used to it.

Vaughn, find me some conduit.
Got it! [Runs to the door and stops abruptly]
It's insulator wire, Vaughn. About 50 ft.
How are you doing, Josie?
Great. What more could a girl want than to be able to power a whole city. You know, having all this power was so much fun. I could control everything, everyone. But now that it controls me... it's not so fun anymore.
This is probably none of my business whatsoever, but you did seem very happy here at Blake Holsey, and tt's like you don't even want to fit in.
I don't. My mom's dumped me at a lot of schools, what works best for me is being the outsider.
Oh, okay, I get it, I get it. Why get too close to someone if you're going to have to leave, anyway?
Gotta go with what works.
And... how has that been working for you, Josie?
Great, I'm totally in control.
Are you?
Hey, wait, this is completely different. The only thing that's the same is that... people... can't get close to me.
No. Not even the people who care about you.
Uh, Professor Z? You know what you're doing, right?
Yeah. I just... never done it before.
[walking late into class] I know I'm late, I know there's a pop quiz, I know I'm not supposed to know that 'cause it takes the pop out of it. I know I don't have a pencil, I know Josie stole my pencil, I know Lucas has this crazy idea about the full moon affecting my mood which now I think isn't so crazy. I know I'm out of line and I know I'm going to Principal Durst's office right now.
[Corrine leaves the class]
I wish someone would break that statue. I've hated it ever since Mr. Pearson gave it to me. I'd scream in delight I'd imagine.
... Lucas, what happened to your hand?
It's where the mayfly bit me. It just looks bad, I'm fine...
... Well, it doesn't look like a regular bug bite to me.
I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. [Gets a better look at the bug bite] ... Then again, this is a fairly odd school, so if any of you are really worried, I'm sure you can find some books on the mayflies in the library, that's if you're really-
[All the kids except Lucas leave in the hurry]
-worried.
[to a mirror] I've had it with Blake Holsey High. Everything isn't all right here. I'm tired of disappearing professors and I'm tired of covering for you, Mr. Pearson. I am an educator and I had forgotten that.
Practising your resignation speech?
If you're really Lucas, what did we do last summer at science camp?
ALAdult Lucas
What didn't we do? We put dye in the pool so everyone's hair turned blue, we were the runner up in the robot wars competition and you dressed up like a girl and won the camp beauty contest.
Hey! You swore you'd never tell anyone about that! Lucas?
Remarkable... but what could cause such rapid aging?
AKAll the kids except Lucas
Bug bite.
I like you, young man. You remind me of myself when I was your age. Very direct. Very assertive. Very fired.
There's gotta be something we can do. Something we've missed.
Can't think of anything. Maybe Lucas is doing something to help himself. Sometimes in even in science we have to learn to just... trust.
ELElderly Lucas
I got a big apology to make to you little fella. Huh, I only meant to enjoy you, I didn't mean to cheat you out of your life. I blew it. I wanted to grow up too fast. I should have let nature run its natural course and not worry about being picked last on the softball team. [He releases the mayfly] Enjoy! Enjoy...
[returns to his original age] Hey, guys! I'm back!
[seeing Victor as a science teacher] Mr. Pearson, I... I... when did you get hair?
[talking to herself after yelling at Victor] I've never yelled at a student before. I like it.
So how do we know which one is Josie?
Are you kidding me, Lucas, if you had half a brain you'd be dangerous!
Ouch, that's definitely Josie.
Maybe, she's like your identical twin?
But I don't have an identical twin.
Maybe you've been cloned.
[looks at Marshall] Remember that half a brain comment I just made to Lucas? Well, I think I just found the other half.
