Supergifted

The cheerleaders’ human pyramid collapses while Megan is on top of it. Noah offers to use his knowledge of physics to fix the problem as Megan protests that they never struggled with the pyramid before (i.e., before Noah became a cheerleader). Katie is sitting in the first row of the stands, and Noah goes over to talk to her. Megan recognizes Katie’s face vividly: This is the girl who made her fall in love with cheerleading. Megan was in kindergarten when she witnessed Katie’s demonstration. She walks over to her and thanks her for the inspiration. To Megan’s dismay, Katie urges her to take Noah’s advice on the pyramid.

Russ Trussman approaches Megan a few days before her birthday party, and she tries to tell him she doesn’t know Noah well. He then shows her a video of Noah’s cheerleading, hinting that he thinks Noah lacks the physical skills necessary to be the superkid. She laughs this off, saying she isn’t that “lucky.” Trussman tells her he’ll see her soon: Her father has invited him to her birthday party, as Trussman wants to interview Noah at the place where it all started. After Trussman leaves, the Mercurys’ pool hand gives her a dog toy he scooped out of the filter.
