Episode Synopsis:

A short while ago after flying back to LA to reignite his acting career, Trevor Slattery was instantly arrested by the Department of Damage control for his role as The Mandarin. Agent Cleary offers Trevor a way out of his return to prison if he brings evidence of the dangerous powers of Simon Williams.

Meanwhile following his audition for Von Kovak’s Wonder Man, his agent Jannelle calls him. The casting director for the movie wants to give him a shot in a smaller indie movie. It’s a bit part where he’ll play a waiter. All that’s needed is a quick self tape of his lines and he’s got the cameo.

This will be great for his career, but the pressure gets to Simon and his powers rise, exploding out like an earthquake inside his apartment. Unable to use his apartment for the self tape, Simon reaches out to Trevor for help.

After several more failed attempts Trevor brings him to his former co-star, Joe Pantaliano’s house as a favour. When Simon and Trevor clash with Joey Pants over his lack of respect for the art of acting they leave.

With a new respect between the two, Simon invites Trevor to his apartment, where they finally record the perfect self tape and submit it to his agent.

As Simon celebrates the successful submission Trevor finds the damage from his super powers but pretends it doesn’t phase him.
