What?

But who created this page?

I didn't.

He's already connected

to half the school!

Albert's gone viral.

Oh, don't act

so surprised.

Admit it.

You created

a fake boyfriend profile.

A faux-beau-file,

if you will.

No, we didn't.

Oh, yeah?

Prove me wrong.

Is that all you got?

I think you're hot

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I think you're hot

But you're not

Is that all you got?

Yo, is that all you got?

I think you're hot

It's him.

It can't be.

It's Albert.

There you are.

There she is.

There you are.

I can't believe it.

Albert, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to intrude,

but what are you

doing here?

My dad got

transferred from D.C.

If it isn't friend number 82,

Nevaeh!

That's heaven spelled

backwards.

Yes.

Hi.

So, let me just

get this straight.

You and Mae...

are dating?

No.

It's more than dating.

You guys know

how it is.

When you meet

the one.

That one person

you're really meant for.

It's like

being alive

for the first time.

That's how Mae

makes me feel.

Well,

welcome to McMaster High.

Make sure you don't fall

in with the wrong crowd.

Let's go, ladies.

All right.

Now who would like to show me

to the registrar's office?

Ooh!

I will! I will!

What just happened?

I don't know... yet!

I don't know yet.

Come on.

This will take months

to repair.

Who could have

broken in?

The locks were busted

from the inside.

This wasn't a break-in,

it was an escape.

Someone

hacked into the servers

and assembled the first X-17.

After 5 years of planning,

and it actually worked?

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy!

Oh, yeah!

Who's the man

with the genius plan?

Making

an android on demand!

Oh, boy.

Did you hear

what I said, doctor?

We were hacked.

Our security has been breached.

The prototype

is at large.

This is a national emergency!

Do I make myself clear?

Oh, boy.

I don't think

of it as snowboarding.

I think of it as forging

a mystical connection

to the mountain.

Entering that place

where your soul flies.

It's the sensation the Inuit

people call Kuvia Sung Nerk.

Where did he come from?

We have

to figure this out.

Uh-huh.

I'm sorry, but, Ella and I

just have to tell you.

Albert is so evolved.

He's sweet,

but he's a boy-boy, too.

He is emotionally

ambidextrous.

Marnie, it is so much

more than that.

Albert is like,

uhhhnn, you know?

Hmm, I know

what you mean.

People don't just appear

one day out of thin air.

Ladies, may I escort

you to class?

Hey, guys, wait up.

It's an honest mis...

These are useless.

Someone must have seen

something!

The X-17 is designed

to infiltrate

its surroundings

without detection, sir.

Yeah?

Well, maybe

you designed it too well.

It could be anywhere.

Or anyone.

Jenks!

Tell me you have a witness.

Nothing solid, sir.

Just a lady walking

her dog last night.

Did she give a description?

Yes.

She said he was "super cute

candy sugar in my eye holes

and the honorary mayor

of Hunky Town," sir.

You take me higher

and higher and higher, baby

When you sit next to me,

I, I can barely breathe

Higher and higher

and higher, baby

I need you

all the time

Say that you

will be mine

Pull up wait,

back again

So high up

need oxygen

Party over here

girl bring a friend

I love the way

your hair blow in the wind

Girl, I hope we never end

'Cause your love

is my medicine

I can't pretend,

you got it all

Like a spaceship

rocket taking off

Higher and higher

and higher, baby

When you sit next to me,

I, I can barely breathe

Higher and higher

and higher, baby

I need you

all the time

Say that you

will be mine

Yeah

Take me higher,

higher, higher, higher

You got that

can't explain

Kind of love, girl,

it's the way

You make me feel

like day to day

Just one touch

I go insane

So high

we can't stop now

Keep our speakers

way too loud

And if they try

to shut us down

We just turn it up

and take it

Higher and higher

and higher, baby

I need you

all the time

Say that you

will be mine

Take me higher,

higher, higher, higher

It's War and Peace.

Mae's favorite.

I've figured out

who you are.

It's so obvious.

Wow.

That book is deep.

You're from the video game

company.

This is like, a viral

marketing campaign, right?

It's genius.

They let someone

hack into their game

and then the next day,

an actor shows up

in makeup as the character

you designed.

I am totally

gonna buy this game.

So what is this,

vulcanized rubber?

My name is Albert Banks.

I'm from Glacier Falls...

Alaska. I know.

You must have studied

for this all night.

And you've done

a great job.

The look on Nevaeh's face

was epic.

Anything to make Mae happy.

That's what I want

to talk to you about.

You're going

a little overboard.

Pride and Prejudice.

Scoundrel.

A marriage proposal?

Spit it out, Mr. Darcy.

Yes.

This is what I mean.

You're being

a little too awesome.

And when you go home,

Mae will be crushed.

And I'll be left to pick up

the pieces.

I'm not an actor.

And I'm not leaving here until

my mission is accomplished.

I'm going to kiss Mae

at homecoming.

A perfect kiss.

There you go again

with the sappy stuff.

Thanks for setting me

and Mae up,

but I can take it from here.

Hey, Bart.

Gabby, what is going on?

How is everything going with the computer?

Oh, the computer,

oh, it's, you know,

it's... it's horrible,

okay?

I was gonna

give you a call

but then I saw

a picture of an angel-faced,

muscle-bound man-boy

on my sister's photo feed.

Okay, Bart,

don't freak out.

But the boy we designed,

he kind of... showed up.

What?

There's an explanation

for this.

I just haven't

found it yet.

I'll explain it for you.

You have conjured life

from the primeval void.

You have meddled

with nature itself.

Thanks for not

freaking out.

This will cause

chaos of epic proportions.

It will tear

the fabric of space time.

Don't you see?

There is no version

of the logical universe

where my sister

should have a boyfriend.

Bart, climb down

from the ceiling.

We can't figure out

what's going on

until you fix that computer.

Have you switched

the memory chip?

Yeah, no, I tried that, okay,

but the transceiver...

No, the refractory

memory chip.

Ohh!

Call me when it's done.

90, 91.

New record!

161, 162,

163, 164,

165, 166,

167, 168, 169.

Okay, stop.

Kid, I can't even count

that high.

You ever play football,

Alaska?

No, sir. But I used to throw

salmon in my dad's boat.

Try this fish

on for size.

Gleason, go long!

Did you see that?

Unbelievable.

More like un-possible.

I'm okay!

Oh, Mae.

Hey.

Hi. Come on.

It doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, I never saw her

with a guy like him.

Jaden, sweetie,

no one ever saw her at all.

What is there to see?

Oh, catch you guys later.

Hey, Mae, weren't we gonna

meet today about chapter four?

Oh, no, I spaced.

And I promised Albert

I'd show him around.

Mae, I need

to ask you something.

Wow, guys.

There's a lot of...

Lot of pollen out here.

Hey, um, Gabby, could we have
