Character History
The Eclipse, Part 1
In Lawrence, KS, Matt arrives at Daphne's home, only for Mr. Millbrook to open the door for him and tell him that Daphne's not at home. Matt tries to use his ability to make Mr. Millbrook let him in, but fails, due to the eclipse taking his powers away. Mr. Millbrook, thinking Matt a deranged man, closes the door on him. He goes into the house, where Daphne says that "it's happening again". Mr. Millbrook goes off to look for something, presumably Daphne's old medication.
Later, Mr. Millbrook leaves the house, giving Matt the chance to enter.
