Whilst Kelly has trouble convincing people of her new power, the skills of a rocket scientist and Curtis finds his new gift, the ability to change sex useful when pursued by the police, the group learns that Nathan has gone to Las Vegas to use his super-power to cheat the casinos. He is replaced in the team by ladies' man Rudy, an old flame of Alisha, who has the ability to twin himself - somewhat unwittingly - when stressed. This incurs the wrath of pick-up Tanya who believes he is two-timing her and who gets her revenge by killing Charlie, the girl she saw Rudy kissing, and framing him for the murder.
