“Sitting Ducks” · Season 1, Episode 12

In this episode: Cara (3), Stephen (3), John (1), Russell (1), Jedikiah (1), Astrid (1), Hillary (1)

So, what happened with your mom's boyfriend?

There were times that I was sure he was using his powers. Objects that had to have been TK'd. But when I forced his hand--

Wait, what do you mean, forced his hand?

Uhm... I might have accidentally shoved him off a cliff.

What?!

Yeah. If he has powers, he's willing to die to keep them a secret.

How long do I have to stay here for? Stephen?

Until it's safe.

And when will that be, exactly? What, like, tomorrow? Monday? Longer?

However long it takes.

So, what, you're gonna keep me hostage?

No, of course not. But you have to let us protect you.

You're the reason I need protection in the first place.

HCHillary Cole

Excuse me, Dr. Price, sir? I just wanted to follow up with you regarding your nephew's human confidante, Ms. Finch.

Yes, I have the situation under control.

And Stephen will be reprimanded, the same as everyone else, right?

I don't answer to you, Ms. Cole. And, uh... you know, a strong work ethic is to be commended, but internal sabotage based on ruthless ambition and personal vendetta won't be tolerated.

Yes, but, the girl, you're going to kill her?

If I say "yes," and you smile, you're next, you got it? Yes. But I want you to understand something. You and everyone like you have the privilege of working at this agency for the exclusive benefit of human beings. And when one of them has to be sacrificed for the greater good, it's not a cause for celebration or personal achievement, you got it?

Yes, sir.

(referring to his mother's boyfriend) Look, Cara, I know our kind can't kill, but what if he just chops off our hands and leaves us out here to starve or freeze to death?

Wow, we went straight to the dark place, huh?

Have you seen any horror movies? How are things at the Batcave?

Well, Russ is still laid up, but he hasn't lost his acquired sense of humor. Now I have to listen to his semi-coherent jokes and pretend they're funny.

I can hear you.

I know.

I've always been fighting to survive. Never thought about how I'd want to live if I had the option. Never had dreams like that.
