It's time for Max and Phoebe
to face off mano a mano in... the Max and Phoebe
Mano a Mano Face Off. This is an all out battle to defeat your opponent
by any means necessary. Whoever hits the
floor first loses! Begin! Alright, Phoebe. Our whole life
has led up to this moment. Ow! What the heck? I'm sorry. Did the Max and Phoebe
Mano a Mano not start? Fine. Let's dance. Dirk Trumbo's hair is sizzling. This is amazing! Punch, kick, elbow
was always your go to combo! Close! It was punch,
kick, elbow, flip! Flip? Flip! Look at her. Showing her own brother
no mercy. It's magnificent! He's got an opening. Finish her, Max! Winner! Come here! Phoebe, are you okay? Congratulations, Max Thunderman. Welcome to the Z-Force! Max! Balfour, it must've been so hard
growing up without a family. Please, you tell
us all about it? It was awful. I was so alone. You know what happens when you ask a video
game to tuck you in at night? It says... But I guess a life
playing video games, did allow me to
hone my instincts. Like being able to
sense a sneak attack! Woo hoo hoo! Whoo! Welcome, Maxie! So, happy that you
could join us! Sorry, guys. I tried. That was very
brave of you, Max. Stop loving him! Okay, Thundermans. You're about to get
seriously stupid. Max, what are you
even doing here? I thought you were
with the Z-Force. I left. I realized I couldn't put
anything before Family. Ooh it's the gun! Prepare for funny brain. This is it. Everyone hold hands. We will go down
the way we lived... as a family. I love you all. We love you too, Mom. Bye, Phoebe. Goodbye, Max. What's happening
with your hand? I don't know. It's like... power. Max, you don't think... Twin Power? Let's give it a shot. No! What's going on? You can't use any powers!
I'm the gamer! I'm in control! Not anymore. Everybody okay? Yeah. No. The blast was so strong,
it shorted out the chips. Pull ‘em off you necks! Max... we had Twin Power all along. Seeing your family in mortal
danger must've unlocked it. No, I'm pretty sure we just
never held hands before. Congratulations! We're picking
you to be our Little Z. Is that like a rap name? ‘Cause I was thinking,
Nora the Destroya. No. As our Little Z, we're
gonna train you and help take your
powers to the next level. Oh! That'd be amazing! You can help me perfect
my laser loops so I'll be ready to protect
my own city someday. Cool. Aw. I hope Billy's not
gonna be disappointed when he finds out
about all this. Eh. Billy's used
to being disappointed. Just give him a cracker
and he'll be fine. See? I should be upset that Nora's
not helping me rake but, man, these crackers are good. No wonder we're always
out of crackers. Nora, why don't you go
wait inside for us? Okay. Billy, we need to talk. Cool. Just let me finish getting
rid of these leaves first. Did Billy just do
something cool? I think he did. Billy, have you thought about
doing that with both arms? You mean like this? - So, we're going Billy, right?
- Definitely, Billy. Guys, should we be worried
about that sign? There's no such thing
as guard cats. If there were, we'd just
shoo it away, like this. Kit, kit, kit! Cats hate it.
So do sisters. Kit, kit, kit. See? Man, my arms are sore. Mind if I take a break first? Yeah, sure. We need you rested so we can
get those extra points. Okay! Break's over! Time to show Z-Force how
we upped your powers. So, Billy, I bet if you
super speed spin in a circle, you could create
your biggest cyclone yet! Or puke from being too dizzy! I'll, I'll edit that out. Just start spinning, Little Z. Okay, I'll give it a try. Wow, that looked amazing. But I, think you hit a skunk. Something stinks. That would be me! You guys sent me
on a fake assignment, and I ended up in Skunk Park! Made that wrong turn, huh? You smell and I'm dizzy. Nora. I can explain this. Phoebe, you're up. I know you guys picked Billy because you think his
powers are cooler. But my powers are cool, too. Colosso's visor, you shouldn't
be wearing that. It's wonky! You're wonky! Now, watch this! Uh oh! Shut it down, Nora! I'm trying! [screaming] Are you guys okay? Yes... is what I would say if I weren't
being trapped by a giant pizza. I'm sorry. I just wanted to show you guys that I could be a
great Little Z. There's no need
to apologise, Tiger. That's a weird nickname for her.
I'd go with skunk girl. No, no, no. Tiger! That cat sign was
very misleading. Wait, our Little Z can fix this! Which one? Stinky or Twirly? We're standing right here! You tell them, Twirly! Nora, the visor
boosted your lasers but, maybe you can
boost them on your own. Yeah. Try closing your eyes
to build up the energy. - Oh, so now I'm your Little Z?
- Just try it! It worked! Yeah! And the tiger's not a fan. I'm on it. Way to go, guys! Don't you mean way to go us? We mentored them
into saving our lives. Nora, we're so sorry
for not being honest. We should've never put
our assignment ahead of you. I forgive you. Besides, I already rubbed my skunk smell
all over your clothes at home. Where's my apology? For what? Making you awesome? We're sorry
for pushing you so hard. You know, it's too bad
you can't both our Little Z's. Wait. Max, there are two of us. Maybe we can submit
two Little Z's. - Really?
- That'd be great! Let's go! Wait. We forgot the video. We'll make a new video. Run! Your first exercise will really
put the art in partner. [laughing] This puts the stupid in stupid. Now, you'll each take
turns painting, and soon you'll have
a beautiful piece of art representing your team. Okay. I guess I'll go first. Phoebe, allow me. You have the
art skills of a howler monkey. Wow. Okay. You are remarkably
good at that, but it's my turn. Hold on. I'm on a roll. Come on, Max. It's my turn. And done. Ha ha! Now, this says team! You painted your face. Yeah, well... you can't spell team without me. Ow! This is better
than the free Wi Fi. Welcome
to the Telekinesis Trust Fall! Teammates need to always
have each other's backs. If not, you could end up
in a serious jam. [laughing] Yeah, because the
pit's filled with jam! Yeah, we get it.
You guys rolled. Can we get to the
training part now, please? In this test,
these thunder balls can swing down and knock you
off your platform at any moment. So, be ready to use your powers
to catch each other midair. Or you could end up
in a real pickle. Hank, pickle toss is later. Oh. Hey, keep your arms
in front of you. It'll quicken your
reaction time. Well... I was just stretching. Stop being a control freak. I'm not a control freak. Now, just do exactly as I say. Oh, right. ‘Cause
you're the boss of me. Oops. Three o'clock.
I missed my potty break. First of all,
your potty break is at four. And at least I care
about this team. All you care about is yourself. I care about the team. Especially my half of it. Oh, you mean the half
that didn't ask me before buying a rat
infested tree house? They are not rats! They're just really
big termites! Guys, stay focused. Face it, Max! You are the reason
we don't make a good team. Oh really?
‘Cause I think it's you. Put that in your
diaper and wear it. Whoa! Oh! You guys okay? Yeah! This exercise made me realize I never wanna be partners
with Max again. Yeah! This team is done. I'd zap them, but they
already zapped themselves. Well, what the heck? Ow! Max, I came to apologize
for being controlling. I just really, really
want this team to work but, I promise from here on out,
no more schedules and no more sneaking vitamins
into your pizza. I knew I was getting
strong teeth and bones. Point is, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, too. Sorry I have a sister
who thinks I'm selfish and can't respect
my pizza boundaries. Are you kidding me?
You are self... Look at this trash
can on stilts! It's an air lair! Uh oh. [hooting] What's happening? Don't you hear my guard owl? We're at three hoots.
This place is falling apart! Go, go, go! Phoebe, I'm sorry. You were right about
this whole tree fort thing! It was a mistake. I shouldn't have
been so selfish. Apologize later! This thing's going down! Alright! We gotta jump! One, two, [screaming] Why are we still yelling? I don't know! Let's get down! We just pulled off
a telekinetic trust fall! I know! We actually had
each other's backs. Phoebe, you smell that? Sure do.
Smells like team spirit. I was gonna say it smells like
a dead squirrel burrito but, maybe we do you
actually make a good team? Which means our Z-Force
dreams are still alive. And with a couple of nails our headquarters
will be good as new. I don't know what that means. Just tell me
what you're trying to say. We use our powers to trick
Billy and Nora into fighting, so Dad turns the car
around, we save our rep. Max, that'll never work. Stay on your own side. Wow, it worked. I'll get Nora. Why'd you do that? I didn't! You did! Stop. This won't end well. That's it! Uh oh! Whoa! My promotional hat! That's it! We are going home! Max this fight
is getting really bad. Billy won't even breathe
the same air as Nora. He's passed out twice. We need to tell the
truth and fix this. What? You want people finding out we're afraid of an
amusement park ride? No, but I just feel bad. [laughing] You guys should feel bad. Who's afraid of a silly ride? [laughing] Hey! There's nothing silly
about being strapped to a two ton death machine! Hey! I hope the rest
of your teeth fall out! Look, Phoebe,
our secret is safe, and that's all I care about. What's happening with Billy
and Nora, not my problem. Incoming! [screaming] Billy! What are you doing? I'm moving in, roomie! Sure looks like
it's your problem now. Whoa! How'd you get Amazing
Land in our driveway? We're at Amazing
Land, Old Billy! So glad I don't have
to deal with that anymore. Hey, Chloe, why don't you go
wait over my Thunder Man? Flat Daddy! Alright. Now, we brought you guys here
after hours, so you can make up. So... here's Thunder Man, the ride. Come on! Hurry up and hop on and you
guys could be friends again. It'd be great! Come on! Yay!
Why aren't you riding? Go on, guys, if and then Billy,
you can move out of my lair. And, Nora, no disrespect,
you can do whatever you want. No way I'm gonna ride that
with him until he apologizes! Of course. Let's
all wait for Nora. Wait, wait, wait. Max, we need to do what we should've
done in the first place. Don't you say it. - Tell the truth.
- You're so weak. I'm never talking to you again! Wait, guys! You can't go. Look, Billy, you never kicked Nora and Nora, you never shoved Billy. We did. Okay. Look, the truth is, Max and I are afraid
of riding Thunder Man the ride. It's just so terrifying with the up and the down
and the barfing! And we didn't want
our secret shame to get out. So, we used our superpowers
to trick you guys into fighting so Dad would turn
the car around. So... this is all your fault? Because you wanted
to keep your secret? Yeah. We're sorry. We have to talk about this. Look, Max, it's working. I'll never forgive you! Great. You jinxed it. Hey, Nora. It's okay. Don't cry. I'm not crying. I'm laughing. [laughing] Now Billy! What are you doing? Oh, just a little pay back! Prepare for blast off! But we apologized and all that
garbage. You can't do this! Watch us! <i> Five, four...</i> - Break the rule and hold me!
- Only if you hold me! <i> one, Thuder Man away!</i> [screaming] Bye bye! Sorry about what I said earlier. No, you were right. I can't do anything without you, because I have so much fun
doing everything with you. Me, too. That's always
why make you wait for me so we can do fun stuff
like this together. [screaming] [laughing] We're not really gonna
ride this thing, are we? Absolutely not. That looks terrifying. [screaming] Billy and Nora, your turn. Let's see what you got. A pen! A boy with a pen! A boy with a pen
who's staring at me! I haven't started drawing yet! Submarine! Gumbo! Church! Home for the Holidays! Someone else go, so I don't have
to explain what's happening. Hey, Chloe, we're up. Thank you. Alright. Okay. This is hard to watch,
but I can't look away. It's heart and soul! No. It's really not. Alright, don't worry, Chloe,
we'll just win the next one. I'm bored. I'm gonna
go see my dollies! What? Wait, Chloe! Aww, tough break, Phoebe. Yes. Now, all we have to do
is beat Max and Alison and we get a new car. Hank. I mean, we don't
have to buy a new car. Sorry, there's a lot going on. Nice try, Max. I'm gonna find
another partner. You're not getting
rid of me that easy. It's not my fault,
Chloe ditched you. I'd never do that. Please. You already
ditched Clos...oh! Oh. I'll get it. That's my new teammate. Hello, family! Uncle Colosso's here
for game night! You're going down. This is awful. Should have
this game in the bag by now! Okay. I think maybe I should go. I wanted to meet your family, but this is getting
really intense. Ah, who's intense. I'm not
intense. I just wanna win! Wha... Why'd you do that? Forgive me. It's like I'm not
in control of my own limbs! Ooh! Our turn. Now, go sculpt me a masterpiece
so we can win this thing. I have had it with you! I can't use my powers right now,
but I can't do this. Ow! Ow! You can't do that to my partner! Don't hit me, you traitor! You backstabber! Hey! Don't hit the little ones! It's fine! I'll hit the big one! Those are my good pillows,
you stupid rabbit! Breeder! He's a rabbit breeder! Get off of me! Ya'll stop it! Be nice! How's your project coming? Max took it over. You? Phoebe and I
are having a great time. Billy. How's it coming
with that sandwich, over? Yeah, I'm living a lie. Ewe! You're licking her bologna, just
so you can get back at her? No, I always do this. Hmm. I think I know a way
we can teach them a lesson. Don't touch that! I'm sorry. It's your project.
You can touch it. Just not there. Mop gloves. You're living the dream, kid. What's that? A fan? No, it's a super efficient,
bi-directional wind turbine that can generate enough energy to power the entire school
for a whole year. So, it's a big fan? Sorry, sis, but this is
Growmatic's time to shine. [laughing] The only thing
that's gonna shine is the floor
after I mop it with you. Not now, Billy! You ready to stick it to
Phoebe and Max? Operation Sibling
Sabotage is a go. Are we really gonna
call it that? Can't something be mine today? This is Mr. Windy, my fan. You mean your high efficiency, bi-directional, power
generating, wind turbine, right? Sorry, my big fan. And what does it do? I don't know. I think what Billy means by
I don't know, is that... Mr. Windy generates power
by harnessing the energy of room air currents
and amplifying them. I'm guessing. Why don't you give them
a demonstration? The buttons are stuck! And I'm afraid if I push them
too hard, it'll break! I'm just gonna
give him a hand. Wait. That's not right.
It's spinning the wrong way. It won't stop! Why won't it stop? [laughing] Tada. Big sister
reliving her glory days? Yep. Then I'm afraid
you're disqualified. Both of you. What? You can't disqualify me! I'm a champion! I've got a medal! Well, on behalf of scientists
everywhere... give me that! Tough luck, sis. Good people of science, you have suffered
through enough duds. You deserve to see
true greatness. Ladies and gentleman,
may I present... Uh, I'll take it from
here, Nora. Behold, the Growmatic 2.0! Did I expand the tomato
or did expand your mind? Why an invention like this
could end world hunger! Congratulations,
Nora Thunderman! You are this year's
Science Fair winner! Thank you so much! I'm just gonna... I'm gonna hold this for her. You're home now, buddy. You're home. Um, shouldn't you turn that off? You got it, Hottie! Uh. No problem here. Just a
little minor malfunction. [laughing] What did you guys do? Just taught you both a lesson. Yeah, don't mess with tomatoes! No! Don't take over
your siblings projects. Oh, hey! That works, too! Um. In light of this, debacle... give me that! [gasping] Uh, well I mean, technically, it did what I wanted
and nothing melted. Uh, Max. Come on! Hey, guys, get the new
song lyrics I sent ya? What's happening? Are you guys okay? The real question is...
are you okay? We read your song. We know you're in pain. Strudel? Save your strudel. It's just a song, guys. My heart skipped a beat
when I saw you before. But now I'm not sure
my heart even works anymore. It's not a song, bro!
It's as if it's a cry for help! Don't you think I was just
being a... normal, overdramatic teenage
girl or boy ‘cause I'm a boy? Only true pain
could write words like that. I know. I was once burned
pretty bad by a girl, like actually burned. With a curling iron. We've all been there, But Max has it worse. I do? Yeah, that whole part
in the song about not knowing
what you did wrong. I just wish I knew
what I did wrong! I wanna help you, sweetie, but there's only one person
who can tell you that. I know. Ugh! I'll be right back. He's not gonna eat it. Group strudel! We could've had the kind of
relationship where we can share anything with each other! I know you did, honey. [indiscernible] That's because boys
are stupid. I know! Phoebe, I need to talk
to you about Link. Don't say his name! I'll be in the fridge. Max. Max. Just leave her alone. She doesn't want to think about
you know who. Oh I hope she
doesn't find the... Sausage links? [screaming] Phoebe, you came! Yeah! Link texted me
and said he was sorry for being a super stretchy jerk face
who smells like coleslaw. I never sent you a text. You didn't? Okay, so I might have hacked
Link's phone and texted you, but he does smell like coleslaw. Why would you do that? Because I needed to get you here
so I can talk to you and Link. Here's the deal, alright? I don't wanna hear anything
you have to say, Max. Me neither. I'm going home. Come on, Max.
We gotta play now! Phoebe, don't go! <i> ♪ There's something
You gotta know ♪</i> What are you doing, dude? We're supposed
to play Bonus Toe. Alright. New plan. Watch me
for the changes. Try to keep up. <i> ♪ This is a song about Phoebe ♪</i> <i> ♪ So Link,
Put down that drinky ♪</i> <i> ♪ Phoebe didn't tell me
About your extra piggy ♪</i> <i> ♪ I needed a song
to get my band this giggy ♪</i> <i> ♪ So, I stole a page

Who broke your trust ♪</i> <i> ♪ It was her awesome brother ♪</i> <i> ♪ Maximus ♪</i> See you next week. I'm so sorry, Phoebe. When I thought that you told Max
my secret, I was so hurt. I couldn't even talk to you. Link, I would never do that. You mean so much to me. Didn't you read my note? What note? This note. Alright, new rule. Whenever something doesn't seem
right between us, we assume Max has done
something terrible. Deal. Hmm mmm. Okay. Let me explain
why we didn't play Bonus Toe. It's actually quite touching.
Phoebe and Link... You're fired! Well, you just missed out
on a really great story. You would've loved the part
about the bear. Guys, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get us fired. Apologize later and
help us load up. Wolfgang swiped
JJ's tube remote. Wolfgang, he's swipping! Hey! Get away from that tube! Busted! Run! [sighing] Revenge. Check. Phoebe, Link, sandwiches. Thanks for coming
to support Max. Yeah, but just so you know, there is a dress
code at the club. Hmm. What's their
stance on wedgies? They don't like. They like it! I'm just gonna go walk this
off before our match. Charming as always. You remember the plan? Of course I do because it
was my plan, Phoebe. Now, let's get this over with. I can feel my pants
getting fancier by the second. Tennis really is your jam. It's all in his wrist,
or the wrist. You have good form, young man. No, it's not what you think. Don't be modest. It's not often a
non-member knows how to boss around the staff
as well as I do. Raspberry iced tea! Theodore Lacroix. Max Thunderman. Wait, Lacroix? As in the Lacroix Cup? That's right. It's also the name
of the President of this club. Clear these plates! Whoa!
I am not in Dishville anymore. I don't know where Dishville is. But here, people wait on
you hand and foot, which is how it should be. Don't you agree? Silly straw! Senator down! Whoa! Time out! Phoebe, are you using your powers? Just my power serve. Okay. Maybe I'm using
my powers a little, but Max is doing it too. I know. He just pantsed me. Look, I'm sorry. Link, the truth is,
I am horrible at tennis. I just wanted to win so I could
join the country club. Well, I want to hang out
with you more, too. But we shouldn't have
to cheat to do it. No, I know this was
wrong. You know what? Can we just finish
the game the right way? I'd like that. They do have
match point, but who knows? Hey, I don't need
superpowers to win. Time in! Good always defeats evil! - Nothing can stop us!
- Hey, hey. Whoo! Except Thunder Slam! Winners of the Lacroix Cup, Mr. Lacroix and Mr. Thunderman! [cheering] Yeah! Yes! I'm a member!
The world is mine! Congratulations, Max! We're actually here! Sybron James and the answer
to beating his game, are only a hundred people away. Make that 99! We came here to have
fun with you guys! Not stand in line all day! What are you talking about?
This is awesome! Look at us. Standing in line. Woo! Nope, this line's the worst. Hey, you wanted
to go to a water park, right? Well, I see a virtual one
right over there. Why don't you guys head over and we'll meet you there
when we're done. Unless one of us sells
a game deal to Sybron, then so long suckas! But we're supposed
to be having fun together. That's the whole point! And we will, later. We'll even by some snow cones! You can't buy us off!
Right, Billy? Wrap that snow
cone in funnel cake and you've got yourself a deal. Billy! They really don't want
to hang out with us. Forget them.
We can still have fun. Mine's too tight. Mine too. Help me and I'll help you. You okay there, little guy? I'm Fefe.
This is my twin brother, Matt. Do they look like? Kinda. Here, let us help
you with those. Now, all you have to do
is touch the side of the goggles to start it up, Whoa! A high level waterslide! This is why I was born! You guys are super fun. Glad somebody thinks so! This fake water feels so real! Hey, guys! Just in time! Come on over and get
your wrist bands. Cool! Four wrist bands, please. It's happening,
Phoebe, we're going in. Here you go. Thanks. This is embarrassing. Billy thinks this slightly less
handsome version of me is me. We're going into the Sybron
Experience with Fefe and Matt. What? This poser
with the cool hair? - Hi. I'm...
- Can it, cool hair! It's really nice to meet you. Zip it, pretty face. They have been more of a
brother and sister to us in an hour than you've
been in months. What are you talking about? - We love you...
- Nora. Nora. You guys can come
with us right now if you have my funnel snow cake. That's what I thought. Come on, guys. Wait, wait a second. What are we supposed to do? Have fun waiting in line. Wee! Let's show ‘em what we got! You did it! Now, we just have
to get the flag! Why does winning
look like losing? [screaming] Second cannon? How are
they supposed to win now? They aren't! Sybron's
games are unbeatable! That's what keeps people playing
and Sybron filthy rich! That's diabolical. We need help! Matt, Fefe, we need help! We've been set up! Matt, Fefe, we've been set up! Phoebe was right! It's rigged! Let's get outta here! Retreat! He may have a second
cannon, they have me. There's gonna be
spit everywhere! Billy, Nora, run for it! Uh oh. Crying with Sybron. [crying]
