Story
Chase gets angry at Adam for punching and throwing him around, so he pulls a prank on Adam. However, this leads to Adam dislocating his shoulder. Realizing how dangerous the world is, Adam decides he won't go on any more missions. Davenport gets Chase to try to convince Adam to rejoin the team, but Adam doesn't regret his decision.
Meanwhile, Bree discovers a hidden ability. She can mimic other people's voices once hearing them. Davenport warns Bree not to use her new ability at school, joking that it may not be a hidden ability, but just that puberty really hates her.
At school the next day, Leo convinces Bree to use her hidden ability, causing her to hide behind him and say unflattering things pretending to be Leo. She then mimics Principal Perry once, but is hooked and can't stop. However, Bree gets into trouble when Principal Perry catches her and asks how she does it. When Bree glitches from being nervous, she mimics a bunch of weird sounds including her brothers' voices. Principal Perry calls Davenport in her office, but Bree uses her super-speed to answer the phone back at her house and pretends to be Davenport. She then quickly speeds back to school, "talks" to Davenport, then tells Perry he "hung up". Principal Perry goes to her office and calls Davenport again, saying that "I hate it when people hang up on me!". Bree speeds back home and mimics Davenport again, only to find that Davenport had went to the school and wanted to know what was going on. When they get home, Bree and Leo are grounded.
Meanwhile, Davenport and Chase come up with a new plan to trick Adam into joining the team again. Adam notices Chase, supposedly "trapped in his capsule and dying from asphyxiation (lack of oxygen)", but Adam doesn't fall for it. He knows that if Chase were really dying of asphyxiation, he would be gasping for air and screaming in terror. Adam then accidentally turns on the heat sanitizer of the capsule, locking Chase in his capsule that is capable of reaching over 200 degrees in sanitation mode, but at first Adam believes it is still part of their plan to get him back on the team. He then realizes that Chase is gasping for air and screaming in terror and is slowly fainting, so Adam quickly uses his good arm to smash open the capsule before picking up Chase and lifting him up on his shoulder and out of the capsule. Chase points out that Adam just did something very dangerous. Adam agrees, saying that he did it without thinking. Davenport adds that he should stop overthinking everything, and Adam rejoins the team.
