Syndrome's illegitimate son (yes, Buddy Pine successfully procreated) comes forward to claim his rightful inheritance. Armed with nearly unlimited resources, he hires the best attorneys he can find and takes the Parrs to court in a wrongful death lawsuit. The jury finds for Buddy Jr., bankrupting the Parrs, and the results of the trial once again cause a public backlash against supers. Bob, Helen, and the kids are forced to move to Estonia to escape the bad press. Buddy Jr., meanwhile, decides to open a Mediterranean cafe, which is destroyed six months later in an alien invasion.
