In which Elisabeth hacks the Matrix; Magneto is the worst at small talk; Hela overreaches; parents just don't understand human speech; everything is better with super-rings; Selene has a Xena moment; almost anything can be solved with a kiss; and even if you transform Doug Ramsey into a giant red murder monster, he'll still be a huge nerd.
