Episode 16 "Man and Superman"
A woman is rescued from a mugger by a flying costume-clad superhero who displays super-strength. This attracts the interest of the Chronicle, and Daniel sends Tucker and comic-book fan West to investigate while Grace runs an investigation on a ghost. While undercover as a taxicab driver, Grace's car blows a tire and she is rescued by the same superhero as Wes looks on. Wes finds evidence that the same superhero rescued a cat from a tree a year earlier. Wes and Grace find a clue that leads to an actor/waiter named Walter who was both the passenger in Grace's cab and the mugger in the earlier robbery, but he is killed before they can meet with him. After the mysterious hero saves a bus that appears to have been sabotaged, Wes finally remembers an obscure comic called "Captain Vigilant" where the hero performed the exact same sequence of events, and the next one is a bomb that kills dozens. With Sal's help they track the superhero to a comic book store. Grace and Tucker find a bomb, while Wes confronts the store owner, Derek. Derek is a telekinetic who staged the incidents to make himself look good. Wes provokes Derek into exhausting his powers and then knocking him out - fortunately, the bomb has an hour to go before detonation. In the end Wes sells his comic book collection for a great deal of money, while a local cop takes an interest in the reporters due to their penchant for showing up at murder scenes.
