Estero is in an uproar following corrupt President Fuerte's most brazen
move yet in his quest to stay in power: his election night ploy, with
the help of his superpowered henchman Hector, to hypnotize the country
into believing that he--and not Magdalia Palacio, the rightful
winner--received more votes. Luckily, Cabot escapes Hector's trance and
uses her own mind-controlling ability to help her team of supers see
the truth about the stolen election; together they begin the process of
slowly un-brainwashing the citizenry.
