‘The Tomorrow People’ episode 16 preview: The nature of ‘Superhero’

“The Tomorrow People” is back on The CW this week, and it is going to be returning for more action on a new night: Mondays. Is it a little bit understandable to be nervous about such a change? Sure, mostly from the standpoint of the fact that Mondays have not performed well for the network as of late. The reason that “Hart of Dixie” and “Beauty and the Beast” are no longer there is because they weren’t performing.

Will this show change that? Time will tell, but the show seems to be doing something that is at least pretty interesting in “Superhero”: Actually touching on what we traditionally think of most fictional people with powers. First and foremost, check out the episode’s synopsis below:

“Stephen (Robbie Amell) is still walking a fine line with his Ultra partner Hillary (guest star Alexa Vega), who continues to be suspicious of his loyalties. When the Tomorrow People and Ultra learn that there is a new break-out doing good for humans, they both want her on their side. Meanwhile, Morgan (guest star Carly Pope) takes a risk and betrays Jedikiah’s (Mark Pellegrino) trust to help the Tomorrow People, but what Jedikiah discovers from Morgan is an even bigger surprise.”

In the video below, you can also get a few more specifics from executive producer Phil Klemmer, who explains that the breakout is someone who really fancies themselves a hero. This in turn makes many of the Tomorrow People question what they have been doing all of this time, and whether or not they should have been using their own powers for something other than hiding from Ultra. Is Stephen going to be trouble? The clip certainly makes it look like he will be.
