Episode 5 of "Wonder Man" begins with Simon and Trevor discussing the callback from the Wonder Man team. Trevor notices that Simon's stress is causing him to panic and emit energy, so he teaches him some calming breathing exercises. Meanwhile, Cleary grows worried when he is unable to get in touch with Trevor. A local drug peddler, Patrick, captures Trevor and Simon, accusing Trevor of stealing his drugs. Simon fights Patrick and his men, knocking them out with his superpowers.
Simon spots a boy on a bike with a camera on his helmet and becomes worried that this will ruin his career. He chases after the biker in his car, while Trevor is distracted by his agent sharing the script for his callback audition with Simon. Trevor claims that they will be filming a scene where Barnaby betrays Wonder Man. Simon becomes curious about the changes Von is making to the original script, considering how Barnaby was Wonder Man's only loyal friend.
The two continue their chase and end up in a bar, where the boy, Jayden, blackmails Simon for his help in exchange for the footage. Jayden claims that a dangerous man named Esteban has stolen his motorbike and asks Simon to threaten the guy and have him return the bike. With no other option, Simon and Trevor take Jayden to Esteban's house the next morning. Simon asks Trevor to pretend to be a detective looking for the stolen bike, but the people in Esteban's house recognize Trevor from his role as the Mandarin, which ruins their disguise.
Simon and Trevor ask Esteban for Jayden's bike while they learn about Esteban's spicy candy business. Jayden used to be Esteban's friend before jealousy ended their friendship and business partnership. Coincidentally, Patrick finds Jayden in Simon's car and asks for Trevor. Jayden takes Patrick and his men to Esteban's house where Patrick threatens to kill Jayden. Trevor asks him to hand over the camera first.
As the neighbors swiftly called the police on Patrick, who was menacingly holding a gun to Jayden's head, Simon and Trevor swiftly acted in unison, deleting the incriminating footage. The ensuing chaos served as a backdrop to Janelle's urgent call to Simon, notifying him of a sudden change in plans for the callback interview.
The episode concludes with Janelle's voice, filled with a sense of urgency, instructing Simon and Trevor to make haste to Von's residence for the rescheduled interview. With the weight of the chaotic situation behind them, the duo swiftly escapes and rushes towards the director's house, their hearts racing with anticipation and nervousness.
