Something really bad's happened.

- Oh, God, I guess you're not there. Bye.

- Hannah!

Who is it?

It's me, Matt. Open up.

Hannah. Are you OK?

What did she do to you? Is she here?

- Is who here?

- G-Girl!

G-Girl? Like the superhero?

Yeah, G-Girl the super...

Why did you call me?

- Steve was cheating on me.

- Oh, thank God.

What?

Thank God that you found out

sooner rather than later.

I am sorry.

Yeah, I caught him in bed

with another woman.

Actually, two other women.

Maybe three.

I don't know - I didn't really get a good look.

- Three?

- Yeah.

Wow.

Steve was so good-looking

and he loved jazz and rock-climbing.

He took me to nice places

and gave me multiple...

I don't really need to hear that.

The thing is,

I never really had any fun with him.

Not like I have with you.

You've been

a really good friend to me, Saunders.

Hannah, the thing is,

I don't wanna be just a friend any more.

- You don't?

- No.

Look...

Hannah, my life has been really crazy lately.

But it has made me realize

what's most important to me.

Seeing you at work every day, that was

always the thing I looked forward to the most.

You're the smartest,

most beautiful girl that I've ever met.

And I'm completely

and totally in love with you.

Oh.

Oh, that was great. Didn't hurt at all.

I probably shouldn't tell you this,

but this might be the best moment of my life.

That's not fair. I was gonna say that.

Oh.

Hey! Sweetie!

Matt?

I hate you, Matt Saunders!

Get down!

Why did G-Girl throw a shark at us?

I can't tell you.

And she was so pissed off.

Have you done something?

- Are you in trouble?

- No. Well, yeah.

And as long as I'm here, so are you.

You gotta get outside the city.

Go someplace and hide.

San Diego. Tahiti. Utah.

No, not Utah, Utah sucks. Anywhere else.

But you gotta go someplace,

lay low for a while.

- I don't understand.

- Look.

If I ever see you again,

this will all be over, OK?

If?

Matt, wait.

- Oh, it's you.

- Come in. Wait here.

- Right here? Where?

- What? Right here.

- OK.

- Over there.

Wow.

Look, I'm here cos I need your help, OK?

I just need to know how we're gonna stop her.

I have spent the past ten years trying

to analyze the source of G-Girl's power.

It is a unique type of radiation

that permeates every cell of her body.

Yeah, I know about the meteor in high school.

She told me. I know.

- She told you that?

- Yeah.

Did she talk about me?

I mean, she said you guys were friends,

you had a falling out.

Bullshit! That meteorite

changed everything between us.

But now, I've got something

that will totally level the playing field.

That?

The rock?

No, the ham. Yes, the rock.

A special rock.

It was a rock that gave off the radiation.

I now have a rock

that will absorb the radiation.

So if you got Jenny

close enough to this thing...

It'll draw the radiation from her body,

sucking it out of her like a sponge.

Draining her of her powers permanently.

OK, so what do you need me for?

Why can't you just get her close to it?

With that superhearing of hers?

No, I need someone who can lure her to it.

Someone who she has no cause to fear.

A weak and powerless simpleton.

An idiot.

No, all of these invoices were

returned. None of them have been paid.

Call back.

And these two are supposed to be...

Hi.

Hi.

What's this?

It's just a little something

I thought I'd bring by...

- Flowers?

- Yeah.

You think flowers

are going to make me forgive you?

No. No, I do not think that.

I don't think that at all.

Then what the hell are you doing here?

OK, look. To be honest, I realize that

I've made the biggest mistake of my life.

I'm desperately in love with you and I'd

do anything for us to be together again.

I would.

Oh, God.

They're beautiful.

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

What do you think about today after work

you come by my place around seven

- and I'll make us a nice dinner?

- Seven? I'd love to.

Matt?

Matt?

- Oh, my God!

- Hey, Jenny.

Matt, it's beautiful.

Oh, what is that? Is that for me?

It is. It's a little something I got you cos...

I wanna apologize

for the terrible way that I've treated you.

- It just wasn't right.

- You're so sweet. You didn't have to.

- It's true, I'm sorry.

- What is it?

No peeking, OK? I want it

to be a surprise. Let's have a toast.

You are amazing.

To second chances.

To second chances.

The man's not bad.

He might have a future in our business.

You know, deep down,

I had a feeling that you'd realize

your mistake and come back to me.

You are wise.

- Do you wanna know a secret?

- Sure.

That's why I didn't kill you.

Matt?

You are the sweetest guy I've ever met.

- Oh, no, no, I'm not.

- Yes, yes, you are.

You're sweet.

Yummy.

Matt?!

What are you doing here?

Me?! What are you doing here?

You said your life was in danger.

And what's she doing here?

- Who's that? Do we know her?

- I don't know her.

I don't know her.

You know how you tried to steal my

boyfriend by being such a big, fat whore?

- It didn't work.

- Jenny, stop. Let me handle this.

- Are you back with her?

- No.

- What?

- Yeah.

Look, it's very complicated, OK?

How could you do this?

You told me you loved me.

Hannah, please, just do me a favor, OK?

Just leave.

I mean, just try to have a little self-respect.

You're starting to look pathetic.

Matt! You are not... Oh, my God. There you

are. Thank God. I've been calling you all day.

Playoff tickets. Amazing seats. You and me.

- Not now.

- Tonight. Third base line. Yahoo!

- Now is a terrible time, OK?

- Hey, what's in the box?

- Stay away from that box.

- You know, Hannah,

why don't you just run along before I have

to kick your ass back to Munchkin Land?

- Stay away from it.

- It looks big, it might be a nice present.

- Are you threatening me?

- Push me one more time and you'll find out.

Oh, yeah? What are you going to do?

Squash me with your gigantic feet?

- That's it!

- Don't touch me!

Just do me a favor and leave

and take Hannah with you...

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God! You're G-Girl.

You have been doing G-Girl?

- Vaughn, open the box!

- Go! Go! Go! Watch the van!

Open the damn box!

Aargh!

- It's not much of a present.

- Agh!

I'm sorry.

You bastard!

Matt, that's a weird rock.

Ah.

A happy ending for everybody.

Well done, Mr. Saunders.

You did this? You helped him?

I'm really sorry.

You did throw a shark at me, you know.

Besides, Bedlam's gonna retire. It'll be OK.

You idiot!

Looks like you're done, honey.

You always thought

you were so much better than me.

Now it's my turn.

Now I'll be the one with the powers.

You'll be just plain old Jenny Johnson.

We're having a moment here.

- Not so tough now, huh?!

- Hannah, don't let her touch the rock!

Hannah!

Oh, no! Hannah!

I can't even see her. We gotta get down there.

Oh, man!

I think she's dead, Matt.

- I'm sorry. Let her go.

- We gotta dig her out!

- We gotta start the grieving process.
