The Thundermans are back, and they’ve traded Hidden Hills for a beachside locale. In “Bummer School,” the third episode of this new series, the family’s still figuring out how to balance superheroing with, you know, life. This time, the focus is squarely on Max and Phoebe, everyone’s favorite super-powered twins.
It’s mascot-making time at Hiddenville High, and Chloe, along with Jinx and Booch, is ready to unleash her creative genius. But with Max and Phoebe acting as her self-proclaimed (and frequently self-sabotaging) mentors, the project quickly turns into a chaotic battleground. Their constant bickering and one-upmanship create more distractions than inspiration, leaving Chloe understandably frustrated.
While the twins might be used to their squabbles rolling off each other like water off a duck’s back, they’re forced to confront a new reality: their fighting now directly impacts Chloe, their ward. This realization, while perhaps not earth-shattering, at least offers a glimmer of hope for a temporary truce. Or, knowing the Thundermans, maybe just a slightly less explosive form of conflict.
“The Thundermans: Undercover” airs Wednesday, January 29th at 7:00 PM on Nickelodeon.
