Jay receives a letter accepting him to Merriweather Academy. He is excited for a change of scenery. Upon arriving at the island school, Penelope greets Jay and immediately starts asking him questions about where he is from and his special powers. Sarah and Eugene then join them, with Sarah telling Penelope off for pestering strangers but Eugene encouraging her curiosity. Eugene then asks Jay his name and about his special powers. The script provides backstory for Jay as well as introducing the key characters of Penelope, Sarah and Eugene at the school. However, comments note that some elements like filming in a bedroom would not be possible and describing characters through actions rather than dialogue would work better.
