The Connor’s Christmas

The Connor's Christmas is the sixth episode of the Fifth Season of Static Shock that aired on February 19, 2005 on Kid's WB.

Plot
It's the holiday season again and everyone is celebrating various holidays from Christmas to Hanukkah and Nick and his sister Maureen, who were reunited and adopted a year ago, no thanks to Static last year are busy at their father's church setting up decorations and preparing for the holiday season and as they went off to bed they heard some loud noises coming from downstairs including the screams of their adoptive father, Reverend Anderson, they immediantly ran down stairs to find Reverend Anderson being taken away by a grinch-like Bang Baby.

The next day Nick and Maureen Connor rushed to Virgil's house where they told him that Reverend Anderson has been kidnapped and that he could help them, he agreed to help along with Gear and Jimmy and that while Nick should stay and prepare for Christmas while Permafrost helps them look for Reverend and Jimmy tells Nick and Maureen that they could stay at his house in Johnny's old room during that time so he doesn't have to stay in an empty church until he is found, they accepted the offer and stayed in the old room, sleeping on an old bunkbed Jimmy and Johnny used to share before they had their own seperate beds, during that time Static, Gear, Jimmy, and Permafrost were on the lookout for Reverend Anderson, searching high and low for him, and they have concluded that he hadn't kidnapped him for any monetary gain since neither Nick nor Maureen had gotten any phone calls asking for ransome money, but that's all they new for the longest time besides what Nick and Maureen had told him the day after he was kidnapped, but not all hope was lost as they were persistant in getting him found before Christmas, meanwhile Nick was having a tough time making the decorations in the church since he had no guidance and he was not that good at making decorations anyways, so he asked Jimmy for some help and he delivered making them better than anyone could've imagined, Nick was impressed by how good they looked and asked how he did it with Jimmy replying that it just comes naturally to him.

The next day they found a huge lead, some green fur that lead to an abandoned steel mill, where they found Reverend all tied up to a chair and as they untied him, a figure appeared behind him, with a familiar voice, it was Permafrost's Step-Father who left her, Nick, and their mom on Christmas Eve all those years ago and Permafrost then suddenly used her powers to freeze him and they ran off, but just as they were going to get away a man pounced on them, causing them to all fall, and then he confessed to being Maureen and Nick's real dad who had been in jail for several years until now and teamed up with their former Step-Father aka The Grinch-like Bang-Baby to kidnap Reverend so that he could have them all to himself and asks her if she could come back with him, she immediantly slapped him and freezed him using her powers and then they ran off again and as soon as he got back to his church, both Maureen and Nick hugged him, as they were glad that he was back. When he went inside the church he found many beautiful decorations all decorated in a neat way and asked Nick and Maureen who put the decorations up and they told him about how Jimmy Osgood created all of these without even a manuel, he just did it, and Reverend met Jimmy as he was walking toward his house and asked him if he could make some decorations for him and Jimmy said that he would love to, but doesn't have the time, Reverend understood but told him when he does have free time that he does have the option to call him to make decorations.

Afterwards both Nick and Maureen had a wonderful time at Christmas with their dad, Reverend Anderson and he gave them both gifts that were worth way more than the money used to buy them, both of them got a pendant with an old image of them with their mother inside and a recreation of the original ornament that their mom gave Maureen right before she died, they loved both of their gifts and thought that those were the best Christmas presents anyone has gotten them as they hung both of their ornaments unto the tree.
