"The episode opens with Stephanie applying lipgloss. Jim arrives home and she goes to meet him. Covering his eyes, she leads him into their bedroom, which she has decorated with candles and rose petals. She explains that the kids are at their friends&amp;#039; houses and adds: &amp;quot;How long has it been since we had a night dedicated to just us?&amp;quot; Meanwhile, George is at home with Amanda on a date. Suddenly, she hears noises coming from his &amp;quot;lair&amp;quot; in the garage. George pretends that it is his neighbours and claims that he is going to tell them to turn it down. He runs into the garage and calls Jim. Jim, who is kissing Stephanie, doesn&amp;#039;t pick up his cellphone, but George rings the landline and Stephanie answers. George tells Jim that the carjacker they have been trying to track down is currently on the loose. Jim agrees to help and jumps over to find the carjacker. He spots him speeding down the road and picks up a dumpster to stop him. However, he is unable to hold it and drops it. He tries to pick up another one but can&amp;#039;t. The car speeds away. The next morning, Jim tells Stephanie and George that his strength &amp;quot;just gave out&amp;quot;. Stephanie asks if he felt strange beforehand but Jim explains that he just felt &amp;quot;weaker&amp;quot;. He suggests that he is just a bit worn out but Stephanie decides to take a blood sample to find out what&amp;#039;s going on. However, when she tries to inject him the needle bends and Jim is thrilled. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m back!&amp;quot; he says. He lifts up the table and realises he has his strength back. Stephanie explains that she still wants to check out Jim and takes a sample from his mouth. At school, JJ&amp;#039;s math teacher Mr Litchfield hands out the class&amp;#039;s test results and announces that they make up 60% of their grade. JJ is pleased to get a B+ but is shocked when he discovers that his friend Kenny failed even though he tutored him. He realises that their answers are largely the same and confronts Litchfield. Litchfield explains that he failed Kenny for copying JJ&amp;#039;s answers. Kenny insists that he didn&amp;#039;t cheat, and JJ explains that he tutored him. Litchfield is unimpressed and adds that the grades have already been entered in the school system. When he has left, Kenny frets that an F kills his GPA and he won&amp;#039;t get a football scholarship now. JJ feels responsible and promises to take care of it. Meanwhile, Brett finds Daphne and asks if she wants to study for art history together later. Daphne agrees but asks about Brett&amp;#039;s girlfriend Christie. He claims that she doesn&amp;#039;t care about art history but Daphne reads his mind and hears: &amp;quot;Christie and I have nothing in common.&amp;quot; She suggests that it must be difficult dating someone so different and Brett agrees. He asks: &amp;quot;If you had to pick one food what would it be?&amp;quot; Daphne hears him thinking &amp;quot;sushi&amp;quot; and says so. Brett invites her to have some sushi with him later and she agrees, claiming that she is &amp;quot;practically fluent&amp;quot; in Japanese. At Global Tech, Katie begins telling Stephanie about her date with &amp;quot;Will&amp;quot; - who is really The Watcher. The pair go back to talking about science and Katie reveals that she has bad news about Jim&amp;#039;s labwork. She explains that the structure of the supercells in Jim&amp;#039;s body has been altered and Stephanie realises that the only thing that could do that is a virus. Katie points out that there are millions of viruses in the world and any of them could be responsible. Meanwhile, at the station, Jim explains that he is keen to track down the carjackers because they have sent all of their victims to the emergency room. However, George is concerned that he&amp;#039;s not up to it. He tells Jim that he needs to rest. Jim disagrees and insists that he needs to catch the guys. George replies: &amp;quot;Alright, let&amp;#039;s go kick some butt&amp;#039;, but suddenly Jim hurts his hand. George worries: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re not supposed to be saying ouch.&amp;quot; Jim asks what&amp;#039;s happening to him. Back at school, JJ uses his powers to hack into the school network and change Kenny&amp;#039;s maths grade to a B. However, Litchfield arrives and catches him in the act. JJ insists that Kenny knew his math and studied hard but Litchfield warns that JJ should stop worrying about his friend and worry about himself instead, because he just committed a criminal offence. At home, Jim is still worrying about losing his powers but, as George tries to reassure him, he breaks the counter and is thrilled to have his abilities back. However, he is interrupted when he picks up a call from JJ, calling from school. Later, Stephanie and Jim bring JJ home and ask him what he was thinking. JJ points out that Kenny&amp;#039;s whole life could have been screwed up because of him but Jim argues that JJ broke the law. JJ replies that Stephanie is guilty of speeding and whenever Jim apprehends someone it is technically assault and battery. Jim yells that they&amp;#039;re adults, but JJ replies that they make judgement calls all the time. Stephanie promises to talk to Litchfield and JJ leaves. When he has gone, Jim decides to go to see Litchfield to persuade him to change his mind. Stephanie warns that he is pushing himself too hard and might have contracted a virus. Jim points out the broken kitchen counter and adds that he doesn&amp;#039;t need powers to speak to a math teacher. Stephanie kisses him goodbye. Daphne finds JJ and asks him to help her on her date with Brett. She asks him to learn everything he can about sushi and Japanese and sit in the bar so she can read his mind. However, JJ refuses to help her lie to make a guy like her. Daphne asks what she&amp;#039;s going to do because she told Brett she could speak Japanese. &amp;quot;You lied your way in,&amp;quot; JJ replies. &amp;quot;Lie your way out.&amp;quot; Back at Global Tech, Dr King phones the Watcher and explains that it is very important that he finds out why Stephanie is still pursuing Dr Volson&amp;#039;s research. The Watcher promises that he has found a way to get close to her and she won&amp;#039;t suspect a thing. Meanwhile, Katie tells Stephanie that she checked Jim&amp;#039;s sample for viral conditions but didn&amp;#039;t find anything. Stephanie suggests that Jim could have had an allergic reaction to something and Katie asks if there is anything new at the house that Jim could have come into close contact with. Stephanie agrees to look and leaves. Katie&amp;#039;s phone rings and she answers. It&amp;#039;s The Watcher, who invites her out to dinner. She accepts. Jim and JJ go to speak to Litchfield to try to persuade him to change his mind about JJ. Jim points out that children make mistakes all the time and complains that Litchfield is abusing his power as a teacher. Litchfield threatens to report JJ to the school board and police department and gets into his car. However, one of the carjackers steals a car, leaving his victim in the road. He speeds down the road and crashes into Litchfield before driving off. JJ yells at Jim to do something but he is unable to use his powers and asks JJ to call 911. At the hospital, JJ asks what was wrong and Jim admits that his powers have been &amp;quot;inconsistent&amp;quot; recently. &amp;quot;Like you&amp;#039;re losing them?&amp;quot; JJ asks. A doctor arrives and informs Litchfield&amp;#039;s wife that the force of the collision drove a pipe into Litchfield&amp;#039;s chest. He explains that if they remove it, he will bleed out. &amp;quot;At this point surgery&amp;#039;s too risky,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Outside the hospital, JJ frets that because of the philosophical notion of &amp;quot;proximate cause&amp;quot;, he is responsible for the accident. Jim reassures him that the only person at fault is the carjacker who crashed into Litchfield, but later, at home, he tells Stephanie that he is at fault for not stopping the carjackers. He asks what Stephanie has found out about his powers and she explains that she thinks he is having an allergic reaction. She tells him to avoid crime fighting until he gets his powers back. Daphne goes on her sushi date with Brett and he asks her to order for them. She panics and explains that she has an &amp;quot;adventurous palate&amp;quot; but Brett promises to eat anything she picks. The waiter asks if she would like California rolls and she says she would like something a bit more exotic. She reads the waiter&amp;#039;s mind for suggestions and chooses. Brett asks what she picked but she says that it will be a surprise. However, she is disgusted when the waiter serves &amp;quot;dancing prawns&amp;quot;. JJ goes to the hospital to visit Litchfield and admits that he wishes there was something he could do to help. Suddenly his powers begin working and he sees how to remove the pole. He rushes home and begins reading medical books. Daphne arrives home from her date and announces that she didn&amp;#039;t need JJ&amp;#039;s help after all because she read the chef&amp;#039;s mind. &amp;quot;I had to eat a lot of gross stuff,&amp;quot; she admits, but adds that Brett is even more into her now. JJ complains that he is in the middle of something and reprimands Daphne for using her powers to manipulate a guy into liking her. He adds that Brett doesn&amp;#039;t even like Daphne, but who Daphne is pretending to be. She suggests that he has done much worse with his powers, but JJ explains that they don&amp;#039;t know how long their abilities will last and he wants to make sure he used them for the best reasons he could. JJ goes downstairs and tells Jim and Stephanie that he knows how to help Litchfield. He explains that Stephanie could perform surgery on him, but she admits that she hasn&amp;#039;t been in an operating room since she was in medical school. JJ explains that she can operate much faster than normal surgeons so can pull out the pipe and suture the aorta before Litchfield bleeds out. He adds that he will die without surgery. Jim refuses to let the surgery proceed, explaining that their powers aren&amp;#039;t always reliable. Later, Jim switches on the news and is annoyed when he discovers that there has been another carjacking. He admits that he understands how JJ feels and suggests that he should have been more sympathetic. Stephanie tells him to speak to JJ, but when Jim knocks on his door there is no answer. He goes inside and finds that JJ&amp;#039;s room is empty. Stephanie appears and finds a hospital operating room schedule on JJ&amp;#039;s laptop. They rush to the hospital and find JJ reading medical books in Litchfield&amp;#039;s room. JJ explains that he will save Litchfield&amp;#039;s life by himself. Stephanie points out that he isn&amp;#039;t fast enough but JJ replies that Litchfield will die either way and he wants to do something. He adds that he couldn&amp;#039;t live with himself knowing that he could have helped. Stephanie and Jim exchange glances and agree to help. Jim says they will do it as a family. Katie is on her date with The Watcher. They begin talking about work and Katie praises her boss, Stephanie. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think there&amp;#039;s any problem she can&amp;#039;t solve,&amp;quot; she says. The Watcher explains that he lost his parents when he was six and was in and out of foster homes until someone took him under his wing and &amp;quot;changed his life&amp;quot;. Katie replies: &amp;quot;Isn&amp;#039;t it amazing how someone can just show up and make you feel something when you&amp;#039;re least expecting it?&amp;quot; The Watcher takes her hand. Back at the hospital, Jim dresses up as a nurse and wheels Litchfield into an OR which is closed for maintenance, pretending that he is taking him for a scan. Stephanie and JJ scrub in and JJ reveals that he heard Stephanie could have been a surgeon. Stephanie agrees and explains that she thought she could help more people with research. Jim finds them and explains that Litchfield is in the OR. He promises to stand guard outside. In theatre, JJ begins telling Stephanie about Litchfield&amp;#039;s medical state and she jokes that when she talked about spending more time together she expected something more like mini golf. Litchfield&amp;#039;s heartrate becomes steady and JJ tells Stephanie to make the incision, which she does. She removes the pipe before speeding and quickly suturing the aorta. &amp;quot;There, done,&amp;quot; she smiles. However, Litchfield&amp;#039;s blood pressure begins dropping and Stephanie realises that he must have a second injury. She frets that she doesn&amp;#039;t know where the blood is coming from and JJ warns that if she doesn&amp;#039;t do something, Litchfield will die. Stephanie asks JJ to tell her some information about where arteries are located and he does so. She asks him to hold a piece of medical equipment and examines Litchifield, finding a tear in one of his arteries. She quickly fixes the problem. Outside, Litchfield&amp;#039;s doctor arrives at the OR and Jim tells him that he can&amp;#039;t go in, claiming that the room is being sterilised. The doctor persists but Jim refuses and eventually the doctor asks to see his ID. In the OR, JJ and Stephanie realise that they did it and tearfully smile at each other. The doctor complains that Jim banning him from the room is &amp;quot;ridiculous&amp;quot; and enters. He discovers Litchfield lying in the room alone. Katie and The Watcher wait for their cars to be brought round by the valet and Katie admits that she will replay this part of the date in her head for the next three days. The Watcher replies that he had fun and leans in for a kiss. Katie is thrilled but suddenly has a moment of realisation. She explains that she has to rush back to the lab for her research. &amp;quot;Call me,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Or I&amp;#039;ll call you. One of us should definitely call the other one. Incidentally, I liked that kiss very much.&amp;quot; At school, Brett finds Daphne and thanks her for their sushi date. Daphne reads his mind and realises that he is going to break up with Christie for her. She interrupts before he can say anything and confesses that she doesn&amp;#039;t like sushi, doesn&amp;#039;t speak Japanese and isn&amp;#039;t interested in art. Bret is shocked that she lied to him and Daphne admits that she made things up because she didn&amp;#039;t know how to compete with Christie. &amp;quot;I wanted to be with you,&amp;quot; Bret says. &amp;quot;Now I don&amp;#039;t even know who you are.&amp;quot; Daphne replies: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not sure I know either right now, but maybe some day when I do figure it out, I hope you will too.&amp;quot; Jim hangs up from a call with George and tells Stephanie that one of George&amp;#039;s snitches knows where the carjackers&amp;#039; chop shop is. He explains that he is going to go to see if he can help identify the carjackers. Stephanie warns that they might catch him snooping around, but Jim admits that he felt useless when he watched JJ and Stephanie save Litchfield&amp;#039;s life. &amp;quot;I have to help,&amp;quot; he says. He leaves and Katie calls Stephanie, explaining that she needs to get to the lab. Stephanie speeds over there and Katie explains that she realised Stephanie was responsible for Jim&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;power outage&amp;quot;. She asks when Stephanie and Jim last kissed and Stephanie realises that they kissed before every time Jim lost his powers. She realises it was her new lipgloss and Katie explains that a chemical in the lipgloss has the same effect on the plant Stephanie is researching. She drops some onto the plant, which withers. She points out that Jim and the plant have the same DNA structure and suggests that the chemical is Jim&amp;#039;s Kryptonite.  Jim arrives at the chop shop and sees a carjacker. He hides behind another car and gets out his phone, but another criminal arrives and asks what he&amp;#039;s doing. Jim claims that he must be in the wrong place and insists that he is no cop, showing that he has no badge or gun. The criminal points a gun at him, but Jim pleads: &amp;quot;I have a family.&amp;quot; The carjacker agrees that they&amp;#039;re cool, but when Jim breathes a sigh of relief he shoots him. Jim lies on the ground as the carjackers try to figure out if he&amp;#039;s dead. Back at Global Tech, Stephanie is unable to get through to Jim and worries that he&amp;#039;s gone to fight criminals without his powers. She and Katie leave to find him but as they go, the plant restores itself. At the chop shop, one of the criminals suggests that his colleague must have missed because there is no blood. Jim opens his hand to show that he caught the bullet and smiles. He pushes one of the criminals against a car before catching bullets shot at him by the other man. He throws a tyre at him and smiles. JJ goes to visit Litchfield in hospital and explains that he wanted to see how he is doing. Litchfield explains that no-one knows how he got better. He says that a specialist heard about his condition and performed the procedure without informing the hospital. &amp;quot;They believe he was trying to avoid liability if the operation failed,&amp;quot; he says. JJ asks if there is anything else, pointing out that they were dealing with an issue before the accident. Litchfield points out that he almost died and not everything is about JJ. JJ apologises for being selfish and leaves happily. The Watcher arrives at Global Tech and gives Katie some flowers, joking that he thought she might be stressing about how their date went. Stephanie arrives and introduces herself. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s nice to put a face to a name,&amp;quot; The Watcher says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m looking forward to getting to know you better.&amp;quot; Back at home, Jim is surprised to learn that Stephanie&amp;#039;s lipgloss was the cause of his loss of power. She apologises for not figuring it out sooner but he explains that he is just glad his powers haven&amp;#039;t gone forever. The pair kiss and Jim jokingly checks that Stephanie got rid of the new lipgloss. The episode ends with Dr King congratulating The Watcher on getting access to Stephanie. &amp;quot;We should be able to learn exactly what she&amp;#039;s been keeping from me,&amp;quot; he says, as he injects something into The Watcher. &amp;quot;Then I can determine what to do with her.&amp;quot; What did you think of the episode?
