The gang decide not to let Brandon know about the toy lighthouse until they know more about it — except Zoey, whose growing feelings for Brandon make her more sensitive to his needs to reconnect with his parents' past. What harm could it do? But later that night, when Brandon comes in contact with the lighthouse, a strange, black card floats out from the toy. As Brandon reaches out to touch the card, it emits a searing ray of bright white light and knocks him unconscious! When strange things start happening to him the next day, Brandon tests out his suspicions. He has alien powers. But after Brandon shows Luca, he swears him to secrecy. How can he tell his girlfriend that he has found alien technology — and can use it?

Brandon and Zoey are closer than ever and are keen to spend as much time together as possible. When Amber suggests a house party to celebrate the newest couple in Lightning Point, everyone's excited. That is, except Madison. When she arrives at the party, Zoey accepts her "nice girl" act, but Amber, Kiki and especially Brandon can see right through it. When Madison reveals the black card at the end of an argument with Brandon, he wishes she would go away — and it happens. Madison has vanished!

Panicked and with nowhere else to go, Luca is forced to reveal Brandon's secret. He has a plasma card. While Kiki and Zoey figure out a way to get Madison back, a bigger question is brewing. How can a human use a plasma card?

Kiki and Zoey are relieved to find out that half-Luminan Brandon can't use the card properly. The only way they can be sure they are out of danger though, is to destroy the card. But when Zoey is nearly caught by Brandon trying to steal it, Luca has to take matters into his own hands.

Now wary that Luca wants it for himself, Brandon tries harder to crack the code. It is only when Brandon strangely remembers some moments of his childhood that he figures out the key to the card — his own energy.

Brandon now thinks he has everything he wants — control of alien technology that will help him catch the real culprits behind his parent's disappearance.

With Brandon fully charged, Zoey can't help but feel that Brandon needs to know the truth about her. How can she be his girlfriend and keep lying to him?

While Amber teaches a surf class with Josh's precocious younger brother Sean, Zoey prepares to tell him — at whatever cost. But before she can reveal her secret, a storm rolls in over Lightning Point and Brandon excuses himself. He has to go. While Zoey is left dumbstruck, Luca knows the real reason he rushed off — to use the storm to catch aliens — and recharge so he is at full power.

But Zoey knows that humans, aliens and lightning don't mix. Can she get to Brandon before it's too late?

Directed by Evan Clarry

Brandon is furious with everyone — and especially Zoey — for lying to him. How could they keep a secret like this from him? And how could the Luminan people, Zoey and Kiki's people, abduct his parents?!

When Luca tries to calm him down, Brandon's temper flares — and starts a fire in the middle of the cane field. Luca's horse Bandit is spooked and bolts through the forest, carrying Luca with him. Throwing Luca to the ground, Bandit leaves him unconscious before returning to the farm — where Kiki and Amber are waiting.

Leaping onto Bandit, Kiki is convinced she can find Luca by following Bandit's aura trail. But when the aura trail runs out, Kiki will have to stretch deeper into her energy reserves if she has any chance of finding Luca before nightfall.

The day of the Lightning Point Junior Girls Surfing Competition is here and everyone from Lightning Point is ready to compete. Except Zoey. It's only after Kiki reminds Zoey that she should surf because she loves it and not because of a trophy that Zoey come around — and is ready to win!

Madison will do anything she can to stop Zoey claiming her trophy. But with the scores tied neck-and-neck just before the last ride, can Zoey find the will to win without Brandon to cheer her on?

Brandon is so excited by his alien energy that he starts to recharge way too often. Suddenly, in the Diner, Brandon can't help but radiate energy out into the atmosphere — which starts to affect the Diner in supernatural ways.

With the whole town gathering outside, Kiki and Zoey are forced to reveal to Brandon that he is half-Luminan — before absorbing the excess energy into their own fields to save him. The force is so strong that the diner is engulfed in white light — and Zoey and Kiki are revealed to everyone in their plasma form. Luckily, they didn't blow their cover. But with all of Lightning Point witnessing an extraterrestrial explosion, for how much longer can they stay hidden?

Brandon is finally ready to learn who he truly is. As Zoey speaks to him, she becomes more and more convinced that Brandon has secrets locked inside his memories. If they want a chance of getting home, Zoey will have to coax them out.

Meanwhile, Seargent Mitchell is on the alien trail — and is dangerously close to Brandon's secret. After Seargent Mitchell interrogates Brandon, Zoey, Kiki and Amber are warned to stay away from him. But not before Zoey learns the greatest secret of all — there is a space ship hidden above the ocean near the lighthouse!

Amber, Zoey and Kiki take a last surf of Lightning Point's waves. Zoey and Kiki will miss this place — and Amber — when they leave for Lumina tonight with Brandon. But Seargent Mitchell doesn't lay off a case easily and just as Brandon is recharging, Seargent Mitchell discovers his alien technology.

Detaining Brandon and confiscating the boat and card, Seargent Mitchell has put a dampener on the girls' escape, before a hair-raising plan sees Brandon rescued.

But with Brandon now on the run, he makes the biggest decision of his life — to give up his powers and transfer his energy so Zoey and Kiki can leave without him. It's an emotional farewell between Brandon and Zoey before the real battle starts — getting Kiki and Zoey onto the boat and out to the ship.

While Brandon creates an extraterrestrial diversion, the real aliens sail the boat to the lighthouse with Luca and Amber's help. But suddenly, a lightning storm hits Lightning Point. Will it be too dangerous to risk searching for the ship with their card? And will there even be a ship to find?
