Paranormal abilities in the episode shows a young man named Darin Oswald, which can accumulate in your body's electric charge and manage it. This allows him not only to beat the current (at contact and at a distance), but also to feed the various electrical appliances and even manage to switch the TV channels, change modes of traffic lights, start cars, etc.

These abilities came to Oswald after he was struck by lightning and due to violation of the electrolytic balance of the body.
