Air Date: January 24, 2015
A story: In order to attend a unsupervised party at the popular Winnie Lee’s house, Max and Phoebe turn Hank and Barb into teenager versions of themselves.
B story: Billy and Nora spend the night at Cousin Blobbin’s, who is trying to adopt a dog.
Phoebe and Max grimace as Hank and Barb take over the party.
I’m a big fan of the Thundermans (science rules!), but this episode was just plain odd. Max and Phoebe want to attend a party at the popular Winnie Lee’s house, but when Hank and Barb find out that there will be no parents at the party, they refuse to let the Thundertwins attend. Apparently, Winnie Lee’s parties are the social events of the year.
Max and Phoebe reconfigure the BrainMelt 2000 and, after aiming it at Hank and Barb, the parents are reverted back to their teenage years. Max and Phoebe escape to the party but are surprised that the party has been moved back to their house (question: how did Hank and Barb know Winnie’s phone #?) Of course, teen Hank and teen Barb become uber-popular at the party, much to the chagrin of Max and Phoebe. It was nice to see Cherry and Oyster make an appearance (who knew Cherry was popular!) but since it was a party for the popular people, no appearances by Evan, Sarah or Tyler. Max and Phoebe bring things back to normal when they recreate the “electric moment” when Hank and Barb first kissed.
In the B story, Nora and Billy visit Cousin Blobbin for the night while he tries to adopt a dog. There’s some mumbo-jumbo about eating spazzberries and an environment not appropriate for a dog. Don’t you usually just head down to the pound and adopt a dog?
I’ll give the episode props for giving us more backstory on Hank and Barb.
