Meeno Peluce was one of the best kid actors of his day but in this episode, as he approaches his gangly teen years, his rebellious schtick is get annoying rather than cute.
He's a computer whiz ahead of his time. His character is probably a multi-billionaire in the twenty-first century. Wanting his abilities "the other side" has seized his parents and he's scared if he helps the Agency they'll be shot.
Unable to cope, Lee ropes in Amanda to look after the kid, leading to ever deeper complications until they're all prisoners in the arcade room of an empty mall.
Me, I always loved empty malls. In the days before mall-walking became a thing, I loved showing up before the gates went up on the shops. Apart from nostalgia like that (and for antique video games, and record albums) this is an annoying episode but it keeps moving with a force Lee and Amanda can't control.
