Supacell – Season 1 Episode 5 1

Meanwhile, Tina's cries of agony echo through the hospital halls, while the nurses seem to take their sweet time to arrive. Michael, once roused, is abruptly dismissed from the scene, an action that raises no suspicion. Upon waking, he receives a frantic voicemail from Dionne, filled with apologies and promises of a full confession.

Spud, on the other hand, is admitted to the hospital's intensive care, with Rod's heart heavy as he fears Spud may never awaken. Desperate, Rod comes across Sabrina and begs her to keep a watchful eye over his friend. Then, he visits his mother, a White woman, whose second husband, Gregg, is revealed to be a racist. Gregg took in only Rod's little sister, Rachel, leaving Rod to fend for himself in a hostel since he turned 16. Rod begs to stay with his mother and sister until Spud recovers, but she refuses, fearing Gregg's disapproval.

Elsewhere, Sabrina's hard work is finally recognized, as she's promoted to the position of senior nurse. However, Krazy's violent retaliation against Grandma Amusan, breaking her arm, ignites Tazer's fury. Krazy then indulges in a fleeting liaison with Sharleen, only to discard her later, taking back the watch he had gifted her. Sharleen, enraged, calls Sabrina, vowing to go after Krazy as she grabs a kitchen knife and trails him.

In a separate corner, Dionne manages to convince Jasmine Johnson's parents to lend their support, sharing with them Michael's uncanny abilities. It transpires that Jasmine once healed her father's sickle cell disease, but it was followed by her abduction by mysterious men. Dionne, shocked, rushes to inform Michael, but he's enraged by her independent investigations. At this juncture, Rod appears, ready to lead Michael to the other superheroes. Dionne overheads the conversation, dismayed by Mike's deception. He vows to be transparent with her, but leaves hastily, unaware that the facility's CCTV cameras capture every moment through the elevator's lens.

Elsewhere, the Tower Boys catch sight of Veronica, the one who had orchestrated the Sixers' ambush against them at the show's dawn. Cocky in her belief that her Sixer status would protect her, she was swiftly proven wrong. Tazer, fueled by anger, unleashed a brutal attack on her, only to be restrained by his comrades before he could inflict more harm. Instead, the boys devised a new plan: staking out Krazy's mother's abode, knowing that he visited her daily. They swore not to harm her, but to bide their time until Krazy appeared. However, she spotted them, prompting her to alert the authorities. Tazer, with his ability to become invisible, hid the weapons in the car, but the boys were still apprehended when the police found a stash of cocaine.

Meanwhile, Andre retreated into the depths of his apartment, succumbing to a deep slumber that caused AJ to believe his father was ignoring him. Rod and Mike apprehended John, but even they struggled to reach Andre on the phone. After much persuasion, John was convinced to check on Andre, who eventually roused from his slumber and granted him entry. Inside, they unlocked the safe to find it barren, a sight that left Andre distraught. With nothing left to lose, Andre reluctantly agreed to meet Mike.

As Rod and Mike awaited the encounter, Rod confessed his true motivation - he wanted Mike to traverse the timeline and save Spud. Michael, too, revealed his underlying goal: to do whatever it took to save Dionne. While they remained under the watchful eye of the facility and its agents, the agents, disguised as hooded figures, suddenly appeared and knocked Andre unconscious. Elsewhere, Mr. Johnson contacted Dionne, aware of the facility's location. He offered to disclose its whereabouts, but in return, he demanded that she rescue Jasmine.

Returning to the world of superheroes, Mike and Rod's hearts raced with concern as John revealed that Andre had departed hours earlier to meet them. Swiftly, they hastened to Sabrina's, where she frantically searched for Sharleen, only to find her phone abandoned. The realization dawned on them that the mysterious hooded figures were indeed on their trail. Unwavering, they made the decision to track down Tazer, who retreated to his familiar turf. Suddenly, the hooded men pounced on him, revealing an uncanny ability to see him even in his invisible state. Tazer fought valiantly, but before a second assailant could strike, Sabrina, Mike, and Rod appeared at the climax of Supacell Episode 5, ready to intervene.
