The Rundown: Maya springs into action when the villain behind everything takes what’s most important to her.
After going with his biological father, Billy finds himself in the office of the woman who his mother is trying to stop. A woman who will do anything to maintain the power that she has, Lucille Caldwell. Meanwhile, Maya has made her way to Caldwell’s home and discovered something sinister growing beneath her feet. When she discovers that Billy is missing, she finds herself unable to rescue him after getting captured herself.
When Maya wakes up, she finds Lucille waiting for her along with Billy. After revealing her plans to Maya, she tells her the truth of her connection to the research Maya’s parents were conducting. The research that gave Maya her powers and how Lucille plans on using them. After taking a sample of Maya’s blood, Lucille attempts to give herself powers with devastating effects. When she attempts to go after both Maya and Billy again, M.O.M will discover both her own power and the power of her village.
