50/50 Heroes

Brother and Son

Mo and Sam are thrilled because they're going to the premiere of Galaxy Revengers Part 2 - the most amazing superhero movie of all time - but Mo's excitement cools when his father, the Mayor, enlists him for a celebrity photoshoot in the countryside. The only way that Mo can attend the shoot and get back in time for the movie premiere is to ask for the power of teleportation - to make sure everything works according to plan, Mo drags his half-sister along without asking.

The Fuzzy Future

Mo fears being forced to take singing lessons with Amber if he fails Mr Brick's mystery test, and with the grades that he usually gets, he definitely won't be able to avoid it! He asks the Sceptre for the power to see into the future so he can find out what the subject of the test will be ahead of time, but when Sam discovers that Mo has essentially asked for the power to cheat, she vows to stop him from carrying out his plan but then has a strange vision...

Hammy's Dream

Sam bets JC that her hamster Hammy can do the same trick as the most popular animal on the internet and agrees to produce a video before the end of the day to prove it - when her initial attempts to train Hammy fail, she asks the Sceptre for the power to communicate with animals, but with only half of the power, Sam can't help behaving just like whatever animal she looks at in the eye, and the same goes for Mo, who starts acting like a small menagerie on his own too!

The Perils of Pimples

Mo's going to perform the lead role opposite Stella in Sam's play, and the icing on the cake is that he gets to hold hands with Stella in the final scene! Because of all the stress of the play, Mo wakes up on the morning of the premiere with his face covered in pimples, so he asks for the power to make his pimples disappear but only succeeds in giving a few of them away to John-Cedrick. When Mr Brick sees JC with pimples, he's convinced that there's an epidemic...

The Immaterialists

Wanda entrusts Mo and Sam with a strange crystal - she's not exactly sure what it does, but it seems to be related to the Spectral Sceptre. Sam keeps the crystal in her school locker because she doesn't trust her clumsy half-brother Mo with it, but when Sam loses the crystal after a mishap and it gets stuck inside John-Cedrick's locker, Sam is forced to ask for the power to go through walls so that she can recover the crystal undetected and avoid embarrassment.

Perfect Aim

Sam gets jealous when Stella starts spending more time with Janelle because they both love sports, and the invention of a new sport called 'Basket-Boing' threatens to overshadow their friendship. Convinced that she'll impress Stella and win back her attention by scoring baskets, Sam asks for the power of perfect aim - the only problem is that Sam and Mo's aim is off by ten centimetres at half-power! In order to wow Stella on the court, Sam is going to need Mo's help...

A Sizable Problem

Sam is thrilled when the students are asked to prepare a presentation on the solar system, but her enthusiasm is dampened when Amber suggests that they do the report together because she's so annoying. To avoid being partners with Amber, Sam tells her that she'd rather work alone, but when a rumour spreads that Amber is planning something totally rad, Sam is overcome with curiosity and pride - she has to find out more about it somehow, but she can't let Amber know.

Favourite Versus Favourite

While searching for a game console that Selina has confiscated, Mo finds two tickets for the 'Isaac the Psychic' show, but only one child's ticket! Lenny feels sorry for his buddy, but when he tries to console him, he makes things worse without meaning to. Mo is eaten up with paranoia as he's convinced that Sam has always been their mother's favourite - to make sure that he's the one that Selina takes, Mo invokes the power to be the favourite of whoever he wants...

Wrong Way Round

To raise awareness of local squirrels' cavity problems, Sam wants to gather as many people as possible for a demonstration, a 'perch-in' in the trees in front of the town hall. She asks the Sceptre for the power to be super-persuasive, but the power works in reverse and Sam is only persuasive when she turns her back - when she faces people, no-one pays any attention to her! She and Mo end up having to work together, all while having a flock of followers at their backs.

All The Right Grooves

Amber organises the ExtravaDance, a contest where each student has to perform his or her own dance on stage in front of the whole school. Sam goes into total panic - ever since she made a complete fool of herself by dancing like a jerk at the last school party, she's promised herself that she will never dance in front of anybody again. Sam asks the Sceptre to grant her the power to be a great dancer, only to end up dancing uncontrollably the moment she hears any music...

Serviceable Clones

Sam has an insanely busy schedule - between her WWID mission to rehabilitate cockroaches, the Robotics Competition she and her dad have enrolled in, her promise to Miss Rosie to take Olive out walking, her homework and Hammy - who requires constant attention - she just can't cope! Stella offers to help, but Sam turns her down as she knows that Stella won't do things exactly her way - if only Sam could replicate herself and do several different things at the same time.

Lenny-Man

Lenny is sad because he's not a superhero, so Mo decides to give him a boost with Sam's assistance - Mo and Sam ask the Sceptre for the power to create illusions in order to convince their friend that he has superpowers for a short moment, but their story works too well and Lenny is convinced that he has to assume the responsibilities of Lenny-Man!

The Thought That Counts

When Sam realises that she doesn't have a present for Wanda's surprise 70th birthday party, she freaks out - she wants the perfect present for her grandmother. She doesn't want to make a mistake about this one, so she asks for the power to read people's minds - that way, she'll know exactly what Wanda wants! However, things get out of control and Wanda's surprise party risks turning into a disaster... and the half power means that Sam can't help saying things out loud.

Samomorphosis

With a weekend with their respective fathers coming up, Sam and Mo realise that they won't be able to do what they want and that they'd much be better off with their sibling's father, so they decide to swap appearances...
