No Ordinary Family - No Ordinary Marriage

I gave this show another chance and I am so glad I did.  The second episode was an improvement on the pilot, which means I will keep watching this show and you should be too.
The family is learning to deal with their new abilities.  Jim Powell is trying to catch a bank robber and jumps in front of their get away van when they run over him!  He realises he needs to practice stopping cars, so his D.A. friend, George, drives cars into him!  He can't stop the cars and keeps getting run over.  Meanwhile, his wife keeps running everywhere until she trips over a bike while doing over 600 miles per hour!  She scrapes off a lot of skin in the process but due to her increased metabolism, she can heal rapidly.  Because of this accident, both Jim and Stephanie decide to not use their powers till they know more.  This doesn't last long as Stephanie runs to another state (!) to collect a sample of the water from the Amazon so she can isolate what gave them their powers.  When George is in a bank when it is robbed, he is taken hostage and Jim goes to rescue him.  Once again he gets run over but he stops the car and flips it but then the cop, Yvonne turns up and sees him leaving the scene.  She confronts him and he reveals his powers to her.  She tells him to leave things alone or she will arrest him.  Meanwhile Stephanie's boss sends his henchman to find out who saw the guy teleport (in the pilot) and he starts with Yvonne as she was the one that shot him.  He confronts her in her apartment and reveals that he has the power of telekinesis!  After suspending her in the air, he turns her gun on her and shoots her.
Oh and the kids are dealing with their particular issues.  Daphne is trying to deal with all the voices in her mind by listening to music through headphones until her Mum teaches her how to focus on something good.  J.J. is getting A's for his maths and so his teacher assumes he is cheating.  His sister says to try shooting lower to not put the focus on him but his teacher still thinks he is cheating.
The story is getting better, so looking forward to the next episode.
