14	1	"After the Quiet"	Dana Whitlock	Randy Kelter	June 4, 2026	TAGX01	1.42
One year after Vince’s retreat and the collapse of GrizzleCorp, Bayshore has settled into an uneasy calm, with Alan enjoying a brief period of being ignored—until he becomes convinced that the town is too normal. As Alan spirals into paranoia, interpreting minor inconveniences as signs of a larger unseen plot, he begins documenting “suspicious behavior,” including synchronized lawn mowing, identical café chalkboard fonts, and the mayor blinking too slowly during interviews. Linda insists the year without chaos has been good for the family and urges Alan to stop chasing conflict, while Morgan and Oliver thrive in a town finally free of rival-driven disasters. Meanwhile, Max stumbles upon a forgotten GrizzleCorp storage unit scheduled for demolition and accidentally activates a dormant broadcast terminal that briefly hijacks local screens with a distorted loading symbol. Alan, believing his suspicions confirmed, rushes to warn the town, only to be dismissed as “that guy again.” The episode ends with the demolition crew uncovering a sealed underground room beneath the old Grizzle HQ, its power systems still running, as the same loading symbol flickers back on—suggesting that whatever Grizzle started may have been paused, not ended. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, and Trevor Haines as Vince “The Grizzle” Grizzleman (archive footage).
15	2	"Suddenly, Everyone's Gifted"	Dana Whitlock	Maya Kells	June 11, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When residents across Bayshore begin developing spontaneous and wildly inconsistent superpowers overnight, the town descends into chaos as ordinary problems become exponentially worse—garbage collectors gain super-strength but can’t stop lifting houses, a barista develops mind-reading abilities and refuses to serve customers, and Mayor Bronson briefly achieves invisibility only while lying. Alan initially celebrates, convinced this proves he lives in “a premium universe,” but quickly realizes the powers appear tied to unresolved personal traits rather than heroism. As minor disputes spiral into destructive incidents, Linda organizes community meetings to impose rules, only for attendees to accidentally teleport, phase through chairs, or freeze time at inconvenient moments. Morgan discovers her ability allows her to duplicate herself for exactly three minutes, Oliver gains the power to summon dramatic lighting and thunder whenever he lies, and Max manifests uncontrollable laser vision triggered by boredom. Meanwhile, Alan remains powerless, driving him into an existential crisis until he uncovers archived GrizzleCorp schematics suggesting the dormant system was designed to “optimize human potential through stress amplification.” The episode ends with Vince briefly reappearing via hologram to congratulate Bayshore on becoming “Version 2.0,” before the signal cuts and half the town begins floating. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Trevor Haines as Vince “The Grizzle” Grizzleman, Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel (teleporting barista), Marcus Bell as Dwayne Holt (super-strength garbage collector), Allison Frye as Janet Loomis (time-freezing crossing guard), and Kevin Duarte as Theo Alvarez (involuntary shapeshifter).
16	3	"The Bayshore Ability Index"	Dana Whitlock	Maya Kells	June 18, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
As superpowered incidents continue escalating, the Bayshore council hastily introduces the “Bayshore Ability Index,” a mandatory classification system ranking residents by power type, usefulness, and “disruption risk,” which immediately fractures the town into social tiers. Highly ranked citizens receive perks like priority services and tax breaks, while low-tier or unstable individuals are restricted from public spaces, fueling resentment and quiet rebellion. Morgan is labeled a “Class B Multiplier” and recruited for municipal tasks, Oliver is flagged as “Unreliable Atmospheric Hazard” and banned from school assemblies, and Max is designated a “Class Red Minor,” forcing Alan and Linda to sign liability waivers just to let him attend class. Alan, still powerless, is categorized as “Non-Enhanced—Behavioral Risk,” humiliating him further and pushing him to lead informal resistance meetings in the Gribble garage. Meanwhile, Linda begins questioning whether regulation is necessary after a misclassified resident accidentally phases halfway into a bus, leaving the town shaken but officially dismissed as a “data error.” The episode ends when Alan discovers his Index file contains redacted sections he never filled out, suggesting the system may have been predicting behavior rather than recording abilities. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel, Marcus Bell as Dwayne Holt, Allison Frye as Janet Loomis, Kevin Duarte as Theo Alvarez, and Brendan Walsh as Councilman Pierce Hawthorne.
17	4	"The Ones Who Fix Things"	Dana Whitlock	Eric Faulkner	June 25, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
With the Bayshore Ability Index failing to prevent accidents, a loosely organized group of highly ranked enhanced residents begins intervening without authorization, branding themselves as “Fixers” who resolve crises faster than the city can respond. Initially welcomed as heroes, the Fixers quickly overstep, forcibly relocating low-tier residents, suppressing unstable abilities, and enforcing their own version of order based on Index scores. Morgan is pressured to join after her duplication ability proves useful in disaster response, while Oliver narrowly avoids detention when a Fixer shuts down a school event due to “emotional weather risk.” Alan, alarmed by how easily the town accepts unaccountable power, tries to expose the group but is dismissed as jealous and irrelevant. Linda witnesses the cost firsthand when a Fixer stabilizes a collapsing building by permanently freezing a civilian in place to act as structural support, an act deemed “statistically optimal” by the council. As protests erupt, Alan confronts the Fixers’ leader during a public intervention, only to realize the group is operating off predictive data eerily similar to GrizzleCorp’s abandoned models. The episode ends with Max accidentally triggering his laser vision during a Fixer sweep, injuring one of them and marking the Gribble family as a potential threat. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Brendan Walsh as Councilman Pierce Hawthorne, Jason Clarke as Elias Vorn (Fixers Leader), Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel, Marcus Bell as Dwayne Holt, and Allison Frye as Janet Loomis.
18	5	"Power Problems"	Dana Whitlock	Hannah Cole	July 2, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When Bayshore’s superpowers start causing minor but relentless inconveniences rather than disasters, the town is thrown into petty chaos as residents misuse their abilities for everyday problems—teleporters skip lines at the grocery store, a woman with weather control keeps making it drizzle “for ambience,” and a local dentist with X-ray vision refuses to stop commenting on people’s posture. Alan becomes obsessed with solving “power etiquette,” declaring himself the town’s unofficial referee and handing out homemade citations for violations like “excessive levitation” and “unauthorized dramatic entrances.” Meanwhile, Linda accidentally gains the ability to instantly resolve arguments by touching two people at once, which she finds exhausting as neighbors line up outside the house demanding mediation. Morgan uses her duplication power to do chores faster but ends up arguing with herself over who did more work, Oliver starts monetizing his thunder-lying ability by adding sound effects to school announcements, and Max discovers his laser vision can toast bread perfectly, turning the kitchen into an illegal breakfast operation. The episode culminates in a community “Power-Free Hour” that immediately collapses when half the town forgets how to function normally, forcing Alan to admit that Bayshore may never be normal again—and that he kind of likes it that way. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel, Kevin Duarte as Theo Alvarez, Allison Frye as Janet Loomis, and Ben Lawson as Gary Plimpton (overly polite teleporter).
19	6	"Welcome to Sideways Bayshore"	Dana Whitlock	Tony Velasquez	July 9, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When a malfunctioning portal briefly opens behind the Bayshore Mall food court, the Gribble family stumbles into “Sideways Bayshore,” a parallel dimension where everything is slightly off but aggressively well-organized—streets are color-coded by mood, arguments are resolved by scheduled debate slots, and superpowers exist only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Local residents treat dimensional travel as a mild inconvenience, offering the family brochures and insisting they sign liability waivers before panicking. Alan is immediately embraced as a “Creative Disruption Consultant,” while Linda is praised for not escalating situations, Morgan is baffled to find her duplicates require appointment times, Oliver discovers lying is illegal but sarcasm is tax-deductible, and Max is issued a temporary license for his laser vision with a strict “no animals, no siblings” clause. Meanwhile, Mayor Bronson’s Sideways counterpart attempts to annex regular Bayshore, believing it to be a poorly regulated spillover zone. The episode ends with the family escaping back home just as Sideways Bayshore begins installing advisory signs around the portal, politely warning residents that “This Dimension May Contain Alan Gribble.” Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble and Sideways Alan, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble and Sideways Linda, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble and Morgan-Prime (Duplicated), Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson and Sideways Mayor Bronson, and Julian Dennison as Clipboard Ted (Interdimensional Compliance Officer).
20	7	"Everyone Gets One Wish"	Dana Whitlock	Shawna Price	July 16, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When a cheerful street performer claiming to be a “licensed wish facilitator” sets up shop in Bayshore Square, residents discover that making a wish aloud within earshot causes it to come true in the most literal and inconvenient way possible. Alan immediately tries to exploit the loopholes, wishing for “respect” and becoming physically impossible to ignore as people are compelled to maintain intense eye contact with him at all times. Linda casually wishes for “a quiet afternoon” and is followed by an unnerving pocket of silence that swallows all sound within ten feet of her. Morgan wishes she had “more time,” freezing herself mid-step whenever she hesitates, while Oliver wishes people would “take him seriously,” causing every joke he makes to trigger dramatic music and slow-motion reactions. Max wishes for “more snacks,” resulting in random food items raining from the sky throughout the neighborhood. As Bayshore descends into chaotic wish logic, the family teams up to track down the performer, only to learn he vanished the moment the first wish was made. The episode ends when Alan loudly wishes everything would go back to normal—resetting the town but leaving him permanently banned from making wishes again, much to everyone’s relief. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Priya Nandakumar as Rhea Patel, Ben Lawson as Gary Plimpton, and Julian Dennison as the Wish Facilitator.
21	8	"The Pets Are in Charge"	Dana Whitlock	Kelly DuVall	July 23, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When a routine pet vaccination clinic at Bayshore Vet coincides with a minor power surge, the town’s animals suddenly develop superpowers—and far better coordination than their owners. Dogs gain super-speed and begin herding joggers into orderly lanes, cats develop telekinesis and start rearranging furniture “for aesthetics,” birds can perfectly mimic human voices and begin spreading misinformation, and the Gribble family’s goldfish briefly achieves omniscience before forgetting everything. Alan initially tries to position himself as the “human liaison,” only to be ignored as the pets establish their own rules, including mandatory naps, random food taxes, and a complete ban on mail carriers. Linda is impressed by how efficiently the animals run things, Morgan attempts to negotiate fair treatment for humans, Oliver starts a podcast translating animal demands (most of which are lies), and Max immediately pledges allegiance to a raccoon with invisibility powers. The chaos peaks when the pets organize a town-wide “Good Boy Parade” that shuts down Bayshore, forcing the humans to beg for order to be restored. By the end of the day, the powers fade, the animals return to normal, and Alan admits—while cleaning up shredded paperwork—that Bayshore may have been better run for a few hours than it ever was under people. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Ben Lawson as Gary Plimpton, and Dee Bradley Baker as various powered animals.
22	9	"Alan Gribble, Fast Enough"	Dana Whitlock	Matt Doolan	July 30, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
After borrowing what he believes is a “harmless experimental treadmill” from the Bayshore Rec Center, Alan accidentally triggers a power surge that grants him super-speed—but only while wearing athletic shorts, forcing him into constant, poorly planned outfit changes. Thrilled by finally having a power, Alan immediately uses his speed for extremely low-stakes goals, including cutting every line in town, reorganizing the grocery store by vibes, and attempting to finish all household chores before Linda notices anything happened. His confidence grows until he realizes he can’t slow down conversations, meals, or his own thoughts, leading to awkward moments where he completes tasks instantly but still has to wait for everyone else to react. Morgan helps him test the limits of his speed, Oliver exploits it by having Alan do his chores at impossible rates, and Max turns Alan into a delivery service by yelling snack orders from different rooms. The episode peaks when Alan tries to experience a “relaxing fast day” by doing everything quickly at once, accidentally causing a town-wide breeze that knocks over lawn furniture and resets every automatic door. By the end, the speed fades when the treadmill overheats, leaving Alan sore, exhausted, and weirdly proud—until he realizes he forgot to slow down long enough to enjoy any of it. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Ben Lawson as Gary Plimpton, and Marcus Bell as Coach Reynolds.
23	10	"Bayshore Swap Day"	Dana Whitlock	Shannon Kerr	August 6, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When Bayshore launches a misguided community-building initiative called “Swap Day,” residents are encouraged to temporarily trade jobs, homes, and responsibilities with one another to “build empathy,” immediately plunging the town into chaos. Alan eagerly signs up and is assigned to run the local library, where he treats the silence like a personal challenge and accidentally starts a competitive whisper league. Linda swaps with a food truck owner and becomes wildly popular for enforcing calm, reasonable menus that customers inexplicably hate. Morgan trades places with a city planner and discovers the town’s infrastructure is held together by vibes and handwritten notes, while Oliver swaps with a substitute teacher and instantly abuses the authority by assigning group projects that are just presentations about himself. Max trades with a crossing guard and turns the intersection into an obstacle course using whistles and improvised signals. As the town deteriorates, Mayor Bronson attempts to end Swap Day early, only to find no one remembers their original assignments. Order is finally restored when Alan accidentally files the master swap list under “Fiction,” forcing everyone to guess their way back to normal. The episode ends with the town declaring Swap Day a success and scheduling it again, as the Gribbles quietly agree to be “out of town” next year. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Allison Frye as Janet Loomis, and Brendan Walsh as Councilman Pierce Hawthorne.
24	11	"Bayshore: A Completely Serious Town"	Dana Whitlock	Eric Faulkner	August 13, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
A well-funded but deeply misguided documentary crew arrives in Bayshore to produce a prestige exposé on how the town “successfully integrated superpowers into everyday life,” interviewing residents who all insist everything is normal while contradicting themselves on camera. Alan becomes obsessed with controlling his narrative, repeatedly interrupting interviews to provide context no one asked for, while Linda calmly undermines his claims by answering questions honestly. Morgan treats the documentary like a sociology project, Oliver uses it as an opportunity to stage elaborate reenactments of events that never happened, and Max repeatedly wanders into frame offering snacks to the crew and claiming he is “the main character.” The filmmakers attempt to recreate past incidents using dramatic music, slow-motion footage, and actors who look nothing like the real people, further confusing viewers. The episode culminates in the director declaring Bayshore “too strange to categorize,” only for the final cut to present the town as a peaceful, forward-thinking community, completely omitting all disasters. The Gribbles watch the finished documentary together in silence, unsure whether to be relieved or offended. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Mayor Bronson, Jason Clarke as the Documentary Director, Allison Frye as Janet Loomis, and Ben Lawson as Gary Plimpton.
25	12	"The People vs. Alan Gribble"	Dana Whitlock	Maya Kells	August 20, 2026	TAGX01	TBD
When a class-action lawsuit is filed accusing Alan of being “statistically responsible” for most of Bayshore’s weirdness, the town stages a full public trial in the community center, complete with a judge who insists on wearing a cape and a jury selected entirely by raffle. Alan embraces the drama, acting as his own defense attorney and repeatedly calling himself to the stand, while the prosecution presents wildly exaggerated evidence including reenactments, charts, and a parade of witnesses blaming him for everything from minor property damage to emotional inconvenience. Linda testifies as a character witness and accidentally becomes the most convincing voice in the room by calmly listing Alan’s many flaws alongside his genuine care for the town, while Morgan submits a detailed report proving most incidents would have happened regardless of Alan’s involvement. Oliver attempts to object so often that he is briefly held in contempt, and Max is removed from the courtroom after trying to sell snacks to the jury. As tensions rise, the trial devolves into chaos when half the witnesses contradict themselves under oath, forcing the judge to declare a mistrial and rule that Bayshore itself is “the problem.” The town celebrates the non-verdict with a block party, Alan is declared legally harmless but socially exhausting, and the season ends with him addressing the crowd, promising to “do better next year,” immediately followed by the courthouse lights flickering ominously for no apparent reason. Cast: Alex Brow as Alan Gribble, Sarah Donnelly as Linda Gribble, Noah Price as Morgan Gribble, Eli Watson as Oliver Gribble, Max Reynolds as Max Gribble, Helen Carter as Judge Mallory Finch, Brendan Walsh as Prosecutor Pierce Hawthorne, Allison Frye as Janet Loomis, Ben Lawson as Gary Plimpton, and Jason Clarke as Bailiff Dan.
