Spoilers ahead

In the early hours of her first school day, Mary (Mckenna Grace) is far from enthusiastic about leaving the comfort of her home. She wishes that Frank (Chris Evans) could continue homeschooling her, but he insists that she must gain new experiences through social interaction. As he sees Mary off, he is approached by Roberta (Octavia Spencer), his landlady and a close friend, who expresses her deep concern. She urges him to fetch Mary before it’s too late, fearing that her extraordinary talents will attract unwanted attention and potential separation from him. Frank reassures her that Mary requires friendships and social skills, but Roberta remains unconvinced.
