Synopsis for "When Bedbugs Bite"

At a bar, Earl recognizes Gen 13 in a TV news report and runs out of the building.  In New York, Roxy finishes decorating the team's Christmas tree with Bobby and Grunge.  Caitlin disappoints her by leaving for a date with Michael Monday instead of staying in to celebrate the holiday with the team.  At dinner, Caitlin confides in Monday her concerns about changes she is going through.  Bobby, Sarah, and Grunge take Roxy to a night club to cheer her up, and Bobby uses his burgeoning psychic powers to help them skip the line to enter. Suddenly, the crowd freezes, and a winged, scantily clad woman calling herself Bedbug enters.  She attacks the team with her prehensile tongue until Lynch arrives and orders Rainmaker to generate a blizzard.  Caitlin sees Sarah's power signature in the sky and comes running even as Lynch sends Burnout after her.  Bobby flies to Monday's studio and finds the walls inside covered with photos of Caitlin.  Monday catches him and knocks him out.  Caitlin arrives at the club as Lynch has Sarah power down since Bedbug has fled.  As the team exits, Bobby rejoins them with no memory of where he went.  Meanwhile, Helspont watches them from a nearby rooftop.
