And so its curious why Victor is the way he is now.

But why would Victor do that anyway?

The Steins arent the only ones walking on eggshells around each other.

But thats exactly what Frank wants.

Things arent any easier at school.

Meanwhile, the Yorkes have begun examining Jonahs serum, which Dale pocketed while Jonah was saving Victor.

(The Yorkes are clumsy scientists, it seems.)

Back in her private meditation room, Leslie interrogates Jonah about why he gave Frank healing gloves.

Also awkward: Robert showing up and waving sheepishly to Nico, whos parked next to Tina.

After the lecture ends, the families stroll outside to look at the club booths.

Tina watches over her daughter and her husband, brooding just as Leslie arrives.

Dale and Stacey refuse at first, but they fear what Jonah can do more.

After Janet walks out, Robert wells up and Tina sees.

Aaaaaand thats not all.

Even after the open house, more tense one-on-ones happen away from the Academy.

(Cmon,Runaways, thats just an annoying rig to stretch things out!

(At least, thats what this episode has implied with Dales changing personality.)
