Hold on to your hats,
Lafayettes, it's time for...

The Octopus
from Dimension Seven!

- Seven... Seven...
- This movie was the inspiration

for Pops' famous skate move,
the Electric Octopus.

- [babbles]
- I think you mean my skate move

was the inspiration
for this movie.

You sit down now.

[ominous theme playing on TV]

[Lunella pants and gasps]

- [all gasp]
- That ain't right!

Stop him, Moon Girl!

[Lunella] Uh, what?

No!

I spilled my popcorn.

[laughs nervously]

Um, let's go get you some more.

I'll help you melt the butter.

Everything okay, baby?

I know you've gone through
a lot since--

Defeating an evil empire's army
of monsters, hopping dimensions,

and fighting my way back
from the multiverse?

Weird week, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm great.
Ha! Yeah, super great.

Speaking of super,

given any more thought
to that thing we talked about?

You know, whether or not
you want to tell the family about--

[theme music plays]

What about you?
If I tell them that I'm Moon Girl,

wouldn't that mean
we have to tell them

that you're the original Moon Girl?

Yeah. Well, we don't have
to decide tonight, right?

In the meantime,
what can I do for you?

I could use some help
making a new suit.

{\an8}How would you feel about getting
out of Dodge for a bit?

I have some friends in the biz

who can help
and can be trusted.

[chuckles] You're like
a magical layered onion.

Ha! I'll handle your folks.

{\an8}[techno music playing]

Cybernetic Prosthesis Applications
Immersion Camp, huh?

Is that really a thing?

And where'd you say it was, exactly?

[both mumbling indistinctly]

Okay, I'm just so glad
they agreed to let you chaperone, Mimi.

But you're sure
you don't want me to do it?

- [both] No!
- Oh, thank goodness.

- I hate the desert.
- Have fun at science camp!

Send me pictures of the desert
when you get there.

Partly because I love sunsets,
but mostly as proof-of-life pics

because you are too precious
and I will miss you.

{\an8}I'll also be renovating
your lab while you're gone.

It's an outlet for my energy
that will benefit us both.

- Bye!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[metal creaking]

[dramatic tense music]

Okay, let's make tracks.

- [hissing]
- [rattling]

Oh! No, no, no!
What is that?

City kids. It's nothing
but a bark scorpion.

Ugh!

[Lunella] Mimi?

Mimi, where are you?

[gasping, panting]

[women screaming]

[laughing]

Ah! My hip.

[all laughing]

{\an8}[Mimi] Merle, Matsuye,

I want you to meet
my granddaughter,

- Lunella Lafayette.
- [exclaims]

You finally figured out
how to clone yourself?

She's the little you.

[giggles]

And this is Devil Dinosaur.

I've been following you
in the news.

- I knew we'd meet.
- [snarls]

Mimi, missed you so much!

Now come inside, all of you.

Mimi, is that you?

You have to stop
being so surprised

I was so young and pretty once.

- I just mean--
- We were the best of friends

since freshman orientation weekend.

The only women
in the science department.

We called ourselves
the "Hot Tomatoes."

- Why?
- 'Cause sometimes your grandma--

It doesn't matter.

{\an8}But my girls always had my back.

{\an8}[Merle] Mm-hmm. Even when you got
that fancy job at the Enclave.

{\an8}We did warn you.
Never liked those guys.

[both] You don't like anybody

- Him, I like.
- [Devil snarls]

I tried to get you a message,
to let you know I was safe.

We got it. Took us a month
to decode it, but we got it.

But we were still so worried.

And we've just been
waiting and hoping.

We even saved this for you,

for when you found
your way back.

[sighs]

How are you doing, Mimi 2.0?
Want a tour of the lab?

Is hydrogen the lightest element
in the periodic table?

[all] Yes!

[elevator bell dings]

What?

[Matsuye]
May we present HT Technologies.

You really did it.

Iron forge, developing a new
vibranium alloy,

working on synthetic tissue
for a rainy day,

and here's my
electrolumotransmographizer.

Wow. I've been working
on a little one, trying to--

[both] Restructure DNA though
electromagnetic radiation.

[squeals]

Someday, I'm gonna end
world hunger with it.

Who's the sweetest boy? Who?

Oh, come see
my hydroponic garden.

- Whoa! Are those mushrooms?
- Yeah.

I'm mainly a soft roboticist,
but I dabble in mycology.

Ha! I knew you were a fungi.

[both laugh]

No.

Come on, Moon Girl,
ready to get to work

- on your supersuit?
- Yes!

All right, Tomatoes.
Let's do this.

[upbeat music]

[techno music]

{\an8}[techno music]

Feeling good.
Ah. Feeling loose.

Hit it.

[grunting]

[giggles]

[screams]

[grunting, panting]

You okay there, baby?

Huh? Oh, uh, yeah.

[laughs nervously]

But what if I fall in this suit?

- I mean, I need something.
- I got it.

- So, what kind of tests are we--
- Now!

Huh? [screams]

[beeps]

{\an8}[Matsuye] The Inflatabutt. It works.

Yes! [laughs]

- [Mimi whoops]
- [Merle laughs] Yeah!

Okay. [chuckles] Love the butt.

But what if I get chased
by something super-fast?

This one's mine.

Fast, frictionless, fabulous.

Electromagnetic hover skates.

[train horn blares]

[screams]

[groans]

Okay, these wheels are tight.

But what if things
really heat up?

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I got this.

That textile is made with living
mushroom spores.

It's self-healing,
heat-proof, shock-proof,

and there's an extra-absorbent diaper,

in case you run into anything
super scary.

For real? All right.

- [snarls]
- I really don't see how...

[gasps]

Cool!

[gasps and pants]

It still needs more.

[squawking]

[snarls]

[wind gusts]

[growls]

Oh! [laughs]

[screams] Oh!

- [Lunella] We need more armor.
- Sweetheart,

your armor has its own zip code.

Vibranium doesn't grow on trees,
you know.

- But we're working on it.
- Plus, you got to be flexible.

I got to be tough.
Just one more layer, please.

This one is definitely yours.

Can't tell her nothing.

That's what I'm talking about.

See? And still flexible.

[yelps]

Ugh! This suit still
isn't good enough!

Back to the drawing board, ladies.

Let's go.

Why don't we just call it a day?

[all laughing]

[mobile ringing]

Hola, chica.

[drill whirring]

Lab renovations. Ignore it.
So how are you?

Tell me everything.
What are you doing right now?

Reading up on desert wildlife.

Did you know there are literal
attack cactuses out here, girl?

Ugh, and all
of those poisonous...

- Venomous.
- ...bugs.

I'm never leaving Manhattan.

So, how's the suit coming?

You are incorporating
my color scheme, right?

- I sent swatches.
- Of course!

- You are my style--
- [whirring]

[gasps]

[panting]

[Casey] Lu?

Everything okay?

Uh, you've seemed
a little bit off since--

Yeah, I've been having
some teeny tiny flashbacks.

But... but do not worry.

I am on it like a bonnet, girl.

And the Hot Tomatoes are
helping fortify my super suit,

and soon, I shall be invincible!

That's super bueno about
the suit, but are you sure--

Case, I'm fine, okay?

I'm having a great time. See?

♪ Hotcha, hotcha, woo-woo-woo! ♪

Aw. I said before
and I will say it again...

[both] Old people are the best!

Okay, I love you.
I miss you. Bye!

It's been such a joy
to work with all my best girls.

Yeah, they're so smart.
But I was thinking,

if we just juiced up the suit
a teensy bit more-- [chuckles]

Lunella, what we've built
so far is great.

You don't need all this armor.

Oh, yes, I do!

Anything could happen, Mimi.

My suit needs
to be indestructible,

ready for anything
and everything.

- [sighs]
- [bird squawks]

[Mimi] You see that bird over there?

That's a prairie falcon.

It sure looks peaceful, doesn't it,
sitting there on its branch?

Anything could happen.

That branch could break.

But that's okay,

because the bird doesn't need
to trust the branch

when it trusts its own wings.

The suit can only do so much.

It's your problem-solving brain
that makes you unstoppable, baby girl.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I got to go rescue Devil.

Girls, take that ridiculous hat off him!

[shrieks]

[screams and breathes heavily]

[purrs]

Devil, I gotta test the suit
one more time.

[groans]

Can you distract the Hot Tomatoes
for me, please?

I bet Matsuye will feed you.

- [Mimi] Devil!
- [Matsuye] There's my baby.

[Merle] Hey, handsome.

[electricity crackling]

[exclaims] Whoo!

Juiced it up good.

Here we go!

[grunts]

Hey!

Oh!

[giggles]

Whoa!

Oh!

Whoa! Ugh!

[screaming and grunting]

[laughs]

[roars]

[techno music]

{\an8}[techno music]

[roars]

Mimi... Mimi!

- Nope.
- Bet you're grateful for the diaper now.

Maybe I could supersize
some bug spray.

Get out! Shoo! Shoo!

Yeah. Yeah, go on. Ha!

[Is it heading into town?

- Oops.
- If it makes it there,

it could hurt a ton of people.

People we like?

- Um...
- Just checking.

[Moon Girl] Hey, yo! Wait up!

[grunting, panting]

[pants] I am never leaving
the city again.

[growls]

[snarls]

[electricity crackling]

[Matsuye grunts]

Ha-ha!

- [electricity crackles]
- [whimpers]

Ah!

Merle! Baby, look at me.
You okay?

Oh!

Brace yourselves!

Devil, get the Tomatoes
home safe.

[growls]

[grunting]

[screams]

Ugh!

[grunting]

Stupid vibranium. Ugh!

They were right
and I was wrong,

{\an8}and I hate the desert
and I have a puffy butt.

[panting]

- [distant bird screeching]
- [gasps]

Bug? Are you out there?

[bird shrieks]

The bird doesn't need
to trust the branch

when it trusts its own wings.

Okay, I need to trust my wings.

Trust my brain.
What do I know?

Centruroides exilicauda
have a dangerous venom

that causes electrical shock sensations,

loss of breath, and extreme pain.

And... [gasps]
they glow under black light!

Pretty sure I can reverse the growth.

Maybe don't? It's even ickier
when it's small.

I'm so proud of you, Lunella.

Remember, you can
always trust your abilities.

Thanks, Mimi.

And you're right, I have everything
I need... right here.

I got my wings. Suit or no suit.

What do you mean, no suit?

We've been working on this
for days.

Girl's getting a suit.
Suit's happening.

[Moon Girl] Moon Girl Magic.

[speaking Spanish]

[all, in English] It's perfect.

Presenting the multi-hyphenate

utilitarian wrist roulette device,
or the Thing-a-ma-Glove.

I never liked Morlak,
but he had some good ideas.

Gotta give him credit for that.

A little less armor than you planned,
but it has everything you need.

Including this.

Made it out of my old lab coat

to remind you
that I'm with you always.

I love it.

And I love you, Mimi.

Aw!

[You are such a good boy.
Never forget that.

Also, I made you two
a few things.

{\an8}New gadgets?
Oh! Gimme, gimme, gimme!

{\an8}Um, this is mostly stuff for Devil.

{\an8}There may or may not
be arm extenders in there.

I didn't forget you.

I heard you needed a new,
what do you call it,

moon scanner?

It's perfect.

I can't thank you both enough.

And hey, you'll come visit us
in the Big Apple, right?

You gotta see my setup, and...

[gasps]

Oh, right.

They can't come
unless we tell the family

who you are and who I am.

Who you are and what you are
is so special,

and you deserve to shout it out
to the world.

But we would never push you
to out yourself

before you're ready.

We waited this long
to meet Mimi's family,

we can wait a little longer.

Until then, we're here for
all of you whenever you need.

Wait, you never told me
how you got the name.

And we never will.

Ready to go home?

[sighs] I'm ready.
