The police station. The last place that the Parrs and Mays wanted to be in right now.

On the tv in the waiting room, a news reporter speaks, "Superheroes including Frozone, Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and two currently unnamed demon supers, caused further damage to the city. The Underminer remains at large.", the Underminer's massive drill still where it was left. Bob, Helen, Moxxie and Millie were in the interrogation room, being yelled at by two detectives

Bob shouts "we didn't start this fight!" the first detective snaps back "you didn't FINISH it either!" Millie then chimes in, while Moxxie remained quiet "What more do y'all want us to do! We stopped the giant drill thing from destroying the town ...

Bob shouts "we didn't start this fight!" the first detective snaps back "you didn't FINISH it either!" Millie then chimes in, while Moxxie remained quiet "What more do y'all want us to do! We stopped the giant drill thing from destroying the town hall!" the second detective then asks in a furious tone "Did you stop the Underminer from inflicting more damage?" Millie then answers back "well, no" "Did you stop him from robbing the banks?!" "No!" "DID YOU CATCH HIM!" "NO!" the first detective then chimes in "The banks were insured. We have infrastructure that placed a deal with these matters. If you had simply done NOTHING, everything would now be proceeding in an orderly fashion!" with that, they proceed in leaving, with Helen asking furiously "Your actually saying you'd refer if we had NOT done anything?!" "without a doubt!" the detective replies, the both of them leaving through the door, Rick Dicker sitting in a corner, having just let the scene play out. Bob says, in an angry tone "you weren't much help" Dicker stands up, and replies "You want out of the hole? First, you gotta put down the shovel."

Cut to some time later, everyone was out of their suits, and back in their previous attire, being taken to the motel they were staying in by Dicker.

everyone had upset looks on their faces, Violet's most of all. She had screwed up big time, accidentally exposing her true identity to her high school crush. Her dad was right beside her, so she decided to tell him. So, inhaling, she says to him, "Dad, this is probably not the best time to tell you about this...but something else happened today with Tony...and my mask." Violet then explained the situation, as Dicker pulls up to the motel's parking lot, everyone coming out, Moxxie and Millie taking everyone inside, while Bob and Helen walk up to the driver's seat, Bob saying to Dicker "Oh, hey, Rick. Violet thinks a friend of hers, a kid named Tony...might have seen her in the outfit, without her mask." Dicker thinks about it, before asking "Talkative type?" "Don't know. Last name is Rydinger." Dicker then proceeds to nod "Tony Rydinger. I'll check it out." Bob smiles, but just before he and Helen head inside "Bob, Helen...a word if you don't mind. Uh, the relocation program's been shut down." Bob looks shocked at this "what?" Dicker explains further " Politicians don't understand people who do good simply because it's right. It makes 'em nervous. They've been gunning for Supers for years. Today was all they needed. Anyway, I'm done. I'm afraid two more weeks in the motel is the best I can do for ya. It ain't much." "you've done plenty Rick" Helen smiles with sympathy, and leans in and hugs him, Bob smiling "we won't forget" after Helen releases Dicker, he replies " Well, it has been a great honor working with you good people." Bob then shakes his hand "Thanks for everything, and good luck" Dicker smiles "you too" before he lets go of Bob's hand, and rolls up his window. And for that, he drives off, Bob and Helen looking to one another with worry
