She’s a queen!

Michelle:

Doesn’t matter. She’s his mami.

Gabe:

I guess.

Michelle:

While they’re there, the queen gives Zack a mission.

Gabe:

To go after a MacGuffin.

Michelle:

A what?

Gabe:

It’s the thing people in movies are always after.

Michelle:

What kind of thing?

Gabe:

Anything. The Holy Grail. R2-D2. The One Ring. Doesn’t matter.

Michelle:

So Queen Seravida tasks Zack with finding the MacGuffin that’s making his father a total monster.

Gabe:

If only it were that easy.

Michelle:

Everything okay over there?

Gabe:

Yeah, it’s fine. Zack’s powers are uniquely suited for this quest. But he hasn’t used them in years, and he’s not convinced he even wants to get sucked back into his family’s drama.

Michelle:

Luckily he has Riva to be his guiding star.

Gabe:

Yeah. Lucky guy.
