Short summary

A pregnant Jess, angry at Rudy's lack of commitment, hooks up with the handsome but controlling Luke, who uses his power to whisk her forward one year and present her with a baby he claims is theirs. Returning to the Community Centre she finds Finn is now a trainee supervisor and that Rudy 2 has martialled his trio of super-heroes - Helen, Karen and Sam - into crime-fighting. Unfortunately they take their brief too far and start executing petty criminals and minor offenders, leading to a showdown between them and the misfits. There are casualties on both sides but Jess then does something very clever to ensure an exciting future for herself and her friends.

"This could be the start of something huge. I can feel it in me nutsack." - The final ever words spoken on the show, delivered by Rudy (Joseph Gilgun), as the gang debate whether or not to become real superheroes.

In the opening scene, the probation worker Greg (Shaun Dooley) laments on how the gang hasn't succeeded in proving themselves and giving back to the community during their Community service, mirroring the speech in the opening scene of episode 1.1, Плохие: Episode #1.1 (2009), where the first probation worker Tony tells Nathan (Robert Sheehan), Simon (Iwan Rheon), Kelly (Lauren Socha), Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett), Alisha (Antonia Thomas) and Gary (Josef Altin) that this is their chance to prove society wrong and redeem themselves at the start of their community service. The two scenes also take place in the same location.

Rudy Two (Joseph Gilgun) distracts Karen (Kate Bracken) by chucking a tin can at her car after hiding behind some nearby bins, similar to a scene in episode 1.3, Плохие: Episode #1.3 (2009).

Rudy (Joseph Gilgun) quotes the same line from Джерри Магуайер (1996) that a love-struck Nathan (Robert Sheehan) does in episode 2.3, Плохие: Episode #2.3 (2010).

The brief montage of the Jumper Posse putting on their jumpsuits mirrors the very first scene of the show, even featuring the same music.

The very last scene with the gang standing above the community centre is also the latest addition to the shows tradition of ending an episode with the characters looking over the roof of the community centre, reflecting on the events of the episode.

Rudy (Joseph Gilgun) destroys the vending machine which had been known to be faulty and to have been hit numerous times in the same place by several character throughout the series in order to get food.

Powers:

  • Emotional Duplication
  • Time Jumping
  • Electrokinesis
  • Flight
  • Camouflage
  • Power Removal
  • Telekinesis

Finn says 'we can fix this, how do we fix this?' after Rudy (Joseph Gilgun) is electrocuted, similarly to Nathan (Robert Sheehan) in episode 2.2, Плохие: Episode #2.2 (2010) 2.2, to his brother Jamie (Sam Keeley) after he dies.

The sound effect for Luke (Daniel Boyd)'s power was the same one that was used for Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett)' power in the first three series.
