Naomi must take special care to protect her identity after Jacob shares obscure information with her and Annabelle.

I hated how Dee and Zumbado were arguing about how to train Naomi, without including her in the conversation.

Episode seemed to be all about characters causing conflict and drama over things that had obvious solutions if they just chilled or spoke with one another.  Dee and Zumbado acting like preening peacocks over the best way to train Naomi even though it was obvious that the answer was going to be a mixture of both their styles (and, yeah, not even including Naomi herself in this wasn't a good look for either of them.)  Naomi doing the classic "Protect the ones I care for by trying to force them out" with Annabelle, despite the fact Annabelle clearly knows what she's getting into and is all for it (plus, has this method ever worked?  If someone or something wants to get to Naomi, Annabelle will be fair game no matter what.)  Nathan, Anthony, and Lourdes butting heads due to simple misunderstandings and refusing to really communicate with one another.  Come on, people!  Just have honest conversations!

Jennifer and Greg are so lovable and supportive that I have a feeling that at least one; if not both; are going to be in peril very soon.  Or perhaps something worse.

Someone in the writer's room seems to have a grudge against The Lord of the Rings...

I think this was one of the better, if not the best, episodes so far. Even with all the easily resolved 'conflicts'. Things are working at little bit better with (almost) everyone in the know. I mean, alien-obsessed, science-y nerd Jacob - who happens to be the boyfriend of the Best Friend - had to eventually find out, right? However, pretty convenient that he can just reconfigure conveniently left behind STAR Labs tech so that the Scooby gang now has alien detecting device.

Even if it's only four, there's way too many aliens in this unremarkable town! But I guess it makes the story more interesting. So the fourth alien stole the disc, right? what does the disc do again??

I still think Naomi's parents are just written weirdly. They're barely characters in this whole thing.

There are just too many people fighting over Naomi in general!

Anyway, looks like this was just the first part of a two-parter;

Is it bad that I like the Naomi Scooby Gang exploits better than the slap fighting that Dee and Zumbado are currently doing?  Cranston Johnson's acting choices are so weird and his suits are so tight!  Maybe if Zumbado can breathe, he would look better.  The better solution would be to train her together, but Naomi may drown in testosterone before that happens. Heh.

So there are 4 Aliens in town. We know 3 of them so far. Who could the 4th be and they are in the McDuffie house right now. Yikes!

"This Week on My Three Dads . . . "

What? Naomi totally does. She has Adoptive Daddy, Hawk Daddy and Shady Daddy.

I've forgotten most of the episode. Thinking about it, I'm beginning to see why this follows Superman & Lois, even though it might be viewed as more "family friendly." After an hour of Kent family dysfunction, you need some positive from Naomi and her endless amount of friends. And this is not sarcasm. I don't see her as a "Mary Sue." She just has a knack for attracting people, and it's refreshing to watch. Does that make sense?
