'Powerless' Episode 5 & 6 Spoilers: Here's What To Expect

Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) is a persistent, positive thinker boss to her employees especially to Teddy (Danny Pudi). However, it seems like her "bright idea" might lead her friend/co-workers into a tailspin.

In the official synopsis of "Powerless" episode 5 titled "Cold Season" (via TV Maze), Emily persuades Teddy to compete against Wayne X's elitist engineers. Emily thinks this would be a "game-changing invention into the Wayne Innovation contest" even though her co-worker and friend have a bad feeling about it.

Meanwhile, Van (Alan Tudyk) will be in a situation that all men with single mom girlfriend status have to face. Eventually, he will use Ron's (Ron Funches) kindness to assemble a toy in hopes escaping his "take-car-of-my-child" dilemma,

On a different note, "Powerless" episode 6, titled "Van of the Year," will obviously be much more focus on Van Wayne, Bruce/Batman's cousin.

In the released synopsis for the episode, Teddy encourages Ron to reveal his "new invention" to the public. Meanwhile, Emily finally confronts Van about him stealing all the credits that should be meant for her generosity at the office.

"Powerless" season 1 episode 5 will air on March 9 while episode 6 will air on March 16.
