In the Tennyson garage, Nate was underneath his car fixing it up while Ben stood next to the tools. Nate reached his hand out.
Nate: Plasma-induced screwdriver.
Ben: Plasma-induced screwdriver.
Ben picked it up and handed it to him. Nate used it on the car and handed it back to Ben.
Nate: Laser-guided spanner.
Ben: Laser-guided spanner.
He handed him the tool.
Starman: [Oh my God, I think this is the most boring interaction I've ever heard.]
Nate: Okay, I think I fixed the problem I had with the suspension.
Ben: Why not let Kevin take a look at it?
Nate: Hey, I'm perfectly capable.
Ben: Yeah, but why chance it?
Starman: [Beth's almost done with the power. Keep it up. Starman out.]
Nate: Y'know, I think I could improve aerodynamics if I just-
The power to the town went out.
Nate: Oh, thank god.
Ben: Let's go find some cameras.
Nate: We don't have to find them.
Ben: What? What are you talking about?
Nate: Aunt Gwendolyn let me borrow her spell book one time. And I'm an Anodyte, remember?
Nate prepared himself to use the spell.
Nate: This is gonna be the last time I use these powers.
Nate focused himself.
Nate: Camera Oblitera Maxima.
A few holes in the walls started to form from explosions inside them.
Nate: Right... I was supposed to shield the cameras first. We can fix that before Mom comes home. Probably.
Ben: So, what do we do now?
Nate: We wait for the others to disable the cameras. And I still have a tracer to find.
He pulls out the tracker he got off of the Vreedles.
Nate: Unfortunately, the marker is kind of unclear. However, I managed to reverse engineer it so that the tracer will beep whenever the tracking device is near it. All I need to do is turn it on like so.
He pressed a button on the device.
Nate: And take a walk about town until I hear-
*BEEP*
Nate looked up from the tracking device.
Ben: Was that the kind of beep you were describing?
Nate: Yep.
Nate started walking and noticed that the beeping sound intensified as he moved closer to his car.
Ben: You don't think.
Nate: I don't see any other way that my car would be beeping.
He lifted the hood and the beeping sound became less muffled. He reached in and searched around until he found a small beeping device.
Nate: No-one had access to this car except from me. At least, since it's been repaired. I need to go.
Ben: You need my help?
Nate: No. I got this one.

Nate knocked on his Aunt and Uncle's door. Kevin opened it.
