Wonder Man Season 1 Episode 5 Synopsis

Slattery helps Simon - who is already anxious about the call back - celebrate the good news and ignores calls from Cleary. The pair are cornered by a group of drug dealers that Slattery owes money to, forcing Simon to use his powers to incapacitate them. They spot a boy who has recorded the incident with his GoPro, and the two give chase to retrieve the footage. In the car, they read a scene sent by Janelle where Slattery's character, sidekick Barnaby, betrays Wonder Man for a price. They spot the boy, Jayden, who tells them that he will erase the footage if Simon helps him get back his stolen motorcycle from a man named Esteban. Arriving at Esteban's house, Esteban tells them that Jayden is lying. The drug dealers arrive and hold Jayden hostage in exchange for Slattery. Esteban's friends help Slattery delete the footage from Jayden's GoPro as the police arrive and engage in aballoonfight with the drug dealers. Jayden reconciles with Esteban while Simon and Slattery flee. They learn from Janelle that the next round of auditions are at Kovak's house and have been moved up to that day.
