Plot: Tony (Theo Rossi) chases Gary (Richie Merritt) through the halls of the community center with an axe. Tony catches up with Gary and kills him with the axe. He then waits for the others to come inside. Once they do, Kelly (Jaylen Barron) is in front of the group and is hit in the throat with the axe. Suddenly time begins moving backward as Curtis (Jonathan Daviss) has inadvertantly turned back time less than a minute prior. This time when they enter the community center, Kelly is ready and smashes Tony in the face with a paint can. He falls to the ground and starts reaching for the axe again, but Kelly picks it up first and kills him. Simon (Charlie Tahan) and Alisha (Odeya Rush) both suggest they go to the police, but Nathan (Moises Arias) interjects stating there is no way the police will believe them. Kelly and Curtis agree with Nathan and they decide to bury the bodies in an abandoned little league field.

When the misfits take the bodies to the field, however they find Nathan's mom's boyfriend Dale (Brian Quinn) digging and sniffing through a bunch of garbage like a wild dog - naked. Nathan confronts him, but Dale jumps on him and begins licking his face. Nathan wiggles free and takes a picture of Dale with his phone, hoping to convince his mother to dump him for being a pervert.

Simon uploads his video of the storm onto social media. Nathan commends Simon's camera skills before quickly asking him to help him with a project: filming him trying to figure out what his powers are. Simon agrees. Nathan tries running as fast as he can, but is outpaced by some elderly women on a jog. He then tries to lift a car, but throws out his back instead. Nathan tries to think of other powers he's seen in movies but comes up blank. Simon suggests flying. Nathan runs toward the Newark Bay, but just crashes into the filthy waters. Nathan climbs out of the water, soaking wet, and announces that he probably just caught gonorrhea from the water.

A few days later, Tony's fiance Sally (Olivia Taylor Dudley) is on the internet trying to find clues as to why Tony has not come home since the storm when she stumbles upon Simon's video from the storm. She pauses the video and sees Tony in the background for a split second.
