Holding Out For A Hero - Recap

Brooke is dreaming a comic book, and punches Julian. She's sleep
fighting again. She can't watch Kickass before bed anymore. He has to
leave for work, he's directing a commercial today. Brooke is afraid
they're going to turn into one of those boring married couples. What can
she do while he's gone? Get some groceries? No, that's what boring
people do. She can watch Kickass again.

Millie serves breakfast to Mouth and Skills. They're celebrating
Marvin's first day back on television. Julian hired him. She heads
home, and Skills tells Mouth it's kind of mean of him to make her do the
walk of shame everyday. When are they moving back in together? He's
trying to take things slow. Skills thinks it's a little late for that.
Mouth doesn't think Skills is anyone to be giving relationship advice,
all things considered. Skills doesn't like that response, so he steals
Mouth's bacon.

Quinn scrolls through Brooke's wedding photos. Clay sees them and says
she's good. She knows. His favorite picture is the one he took of Mellie
wiping out when she caught the bouquet. Taking pictures is easy. Quinn
says that's because she had her camera set on idiot mode. Clay says
there's no way of knowing which of them is better, and she says yes
there is. She's gotten three new jobs since she posted the pictures.
Clay thinks maybe they saw the picture he took, and the job offers are
really for him. Quinn wants to do something that's not boring, like
bungee-jumping. Clay refuses, he has a better thrilling idea. He kisses
her. They laugh.

Nate fills Clay in about Kellerman, but his story is wildly exaggerated.
Clay tells him to study. Kellerman can't humiliate him if he knows the
work. Besides, Nathan took the class because Kellerman is tough. Nathan
doesn't mind tough. The man's a bully. Clay tells him he has two
options. Switch professors, or deal with it. It's too late to switch, so
he'll have to deal.

Alex arrives, and Mia brusquely tells her Chase isn't there. And the
cease fire is off, because Alex kissed him during their truce. Alex
returns that Mia slept with him during the reception. Mia is being a
brat, and Alex drops it. She's not there to talk to Chase. She wants to
talk to Haley about recording a song. Mia laughs at her. Alex insults
her and Mia shuts the door in her face.

Julian and Mouth arrive at work, and are notified that their actor
doesn't know his lines. Mouth tells Julian he'll take care of it.

A drunk woman tells Chase that if she didn't hate men right now, he'd be
in trouble. He agrees that men suck. Mia arrives, wondering if they're
okay. They haven't talked since the wedding. He says yeah, of course;
they said that slutty wedding sex didn't have to mean anything. He's
feeling pretty dead-ended at his job though. She suggests he go into
volunteer work.

Brooke is playing with action figures when Haley arrives. She's bored to
tears, and needs a job. They sit down to watch Kickass.

Quinn arrives at Alex's, she thought there was an emergency. There isn't
one. She wants to record a song. Mia won't let her through the door at
Red Bedroom. Quinn thinks they're going to sneak in and record, but all
Alex wants Quinn to do is ask her sister, Haley.

Kellerman slams one of Nate's classmates, and Nate defends him.
Kellerman sulks his way out of the class. Tommy thanks Nate for his
help, and invites him to join his "Kellerman Sucks" club. When Nate
accepts, Tommy tells him it's his night to host, and asks for directions.

Chase shows up to be a Big Brother. The kid in question is Jamie's
friend, Chuck. He has is a bit of a smart mouth.

Haley gets spooked by Brooke when she's picking up her mail. She has two
garment bags, and they contain super hero outfits. Haley doesn't want to
do this, she hates the way she looks in the suit. Quinn walks in and
sees them. She says she'll come back later, but when she turns around
Brooke is in front of her, and tells her she can't let her do that.

Millie brings Mouth lunch. He tells her about his conversation with
Skills, and that he said they were taking things slow. When she leaves,
Julian notes that she seems upset - did something happen? Mouth figures
he told her he didn't want to live with her. That'll do it, Julian retorts.

Quinn wants to be a superhero, too. Brooke says they just need Haley to
go to the crisis center and find them a problem to solve.

Chuck slugs Chase because it's a new thing he invented. Chase brings him
to the planes, because he wanted to be a pilot when he grows up. Chuck
says he wants to have his own pilot, and slugs Chase in the stomach
again, running away.

Quinn tells Haley that Alex wants to record. Haley says sure, and she'll
talk to Mia.

Tommy starts the discussion. Why is Kellerman such an asshat? Everybody
raises their drink, or hand. Nate says he can answer.

Chuck invites Chase in for dinner. When he says no, Chuck slugs him and
runs in the door.

Haley takes a call from a girl who's being bullied. She doesn't know how
much more she can take. First they teased her for being a tomboy, but
now that they know she's adopted, they call her little orphan tranny.
They even made a Facebook page about it. Haley offers to call the
school, or talk to them, but the girl refuses.

Chase shows up at Chuck's. He's going to tell his mom where they're
going, but Chuck says no, that's fine. Let's go.

Brooke and Quinn are playing with kitchen utensils, pretending that
they're fighting. Haley tells them she has somebody for them to help.
Brooke announces she's B. Dazzled, and Quinn is Shutterbug. She blinds
people with her flash, and collects their photos as trophies. Haley is
Baby Momma. They look up the site to find who they'll be helping.

Mouth and Julian chat. Julian shows him Millie's "catch the bouquet"
picture, and asks if that looks like a girl who wants to take things
slow. The floor manager advises them that their actor quit. Mouth is his
replacement.

The girls look at the hate page. The bullies intend to ambush their
victim after school. Quinn wants to fight those evil villains. Haley
points out that the last evil villain she fought shot Quinn, and put her
into a coma. Brooke thinks that means Quinn is indestructible. Haley
used to be a teacher, and Brooke used to be a snob. Those girls will be
no match for them.

Mia is stunned to see Alex show up at the studio. She insults her some
more, and Alex compliments her in return.

Haley asks Jamie if he's been bullied. He says not anymore. Chuck used
to, but he stopped after dad intervened, and he and Chuck have been
friends ever since.

Nate tells Clay that there's nothing wrong with standing up to bullies.
He wishes he could put Kellerman in his place for once.

Back in class, Kellerman is talking. He sees the look on Nate's face and
tells him to share his thoughts. Nate says he knows an agency that
doesn't work like that. Kellerman doesn't believe him, but Clay agrees
with Nate from the back row. He and Kellerman spar a bit. Kellerman
continues teaching, and insults Clay while he's at it. He also says he's
been teaching for 20 years and written a book on the subject. Clay
points out that he knows the difference between book theory and real
world practice. The book works in the classroom, but what really works
out in the world are honest relationships. Including hugs.

Brooke is beaming while Quinn takes her pictures. She gasps in shock,
however, when Quinn says they're wearing Halloween costumes. Haley
arrives. She wants a new name, but Brooke insists she be known as Baby
Momma. Haley sulks.

Mia is in the sound booth, enjoying the sounds of silence. The sound man
hands over a head set, telling her she should hear this. Mia puts on the
headset.

Mouth does the commercial, and it's perfect.

Chase takes Chuck up in a plane. Chuck pretends it was no big deal.
Chase asks how often he sees his dad, and he hardly ever does. His mom
works a lot, so he only sees her at dinner. He invites Chase to join
them, and he says no. So Chuck slugs him again.

The girls are picking on their victim, when the super hero girls arrive.
The girls laugh, and tell 'Tranny' she found three bigger losers than
her. Brooke insults something about each of the girls. Haley knows all
three girls' names, and threatens to contact Princeton and cost them
their shot at a scholarship if they don't back off. Quinn takes all
their pictures and threaten to post them if they don't leave the girl
alone. "And they're all from bad angles!" The girls leave, muttering
about not beating up pregnant women.

When Haley takes off her mask, the bullied girl recognizes her as Mrs.
Scott. Haley tells her things will get better. Kids used to pick on her
for being smart and dressing weird. She thanks them, then asks a favor.
She wants her picture taken with them, so she can have a reminder.

Nate wonders why he can't be the hero, but Clay can. Nate thanks him.

The girls walk in front of the car in their superhero costumes, and Nate
and Clay crack up.

Chuck hugs Chase instead of slugging him. Turns out Chuck's mom is the
drunk woman who Clay waited on at the start of the show. He joins Chuck
for dinner, and gives him a snuggy on their way up the stairs.
Congratulations, Chuck. You just got "Big Brothered".

Mia tells Alex she was surprisingly good. Mia realizes she's been
wasting her time (and therefore talent) fighting with Alex, and trying
to get Chase to like her. She misses singing, and she needs to get back
to it. She's going to tour for a little while.

Mouth tells Millie he wants her to move in with him. He doesn't want to
live without her. Skills interrupts their big kiss.

Haley gets home and Nate just grins. He told Jamie about Haley and her
friends running around town being super heroes. And while she was gone,
Erin called. She's visiting her family in Ireland. He calls her Haley,
and she tells him not to use her real name. She's Mastermind,
Mwahahahahaaaa! Nate cracks up, and kisses her.

Clay teases Quinn about being Shutterbug.

Julian gets home as Brooke puts away her alter ego. She looks like Clark
Kent in female form.
