Monica is ready for work at the burger shop. She argues with [[Damon]] about watching a show on pay per view. She then sees a person on the television cutting a tomato to form a rose. Later she talks to her friend at the burger shop about wanting to be a manager. Her friend tells her that she always has high expectations but always gets disappointed. Monica says that it isn't fair that one storm (presumely Hurricane Katrina) kills her mom, and her education and her dreams. Monica disregards her friends comments and finishes cutting a tomato into a rose which replicates that of the tomato she saw on the television. Her boss tells her that she did not get the manager position because she would have to move around the state and her family life effects that. Disappointed, her boss reassures her telling her that many people wish they had a job. |

Character History
The Kindness of Strangers
At the Dawsons' home, Nana prepares breakfast for Micah and Damon while Monica gets ready for work. She argues with Damon about a wrestling pay-per-view event he wants to watch, and comments on a cooking show Nana is watching.
At Burger Bonanza, she talks with Camille about her application for a management program. She expresses frustration that Hurricane Katrina cost her so much, including her mother and her college education. As she talks, she absentmindedly cuts a tomato rose, just as she'd seen the cooking show host do earlier.
Mr. Lamont calls her aside and tells her she did not make it into the management program. While her scores were fine, the company believed her home life was too unstable since she's taking care of her grandmother, brother, and cousin
Back at home for dinner, Monica sees that Damon is watching the wrestling match. She begins to get angry, but Damon tells her that Micah is a genius and got the program for free. Micah apologizes, and she reminds him that his mother asked Monica to look after him.
Back at the restaurant, Mr. Lamont decides to close early. As he leaves to lock up the back, Monica tries to lock the front door, but a man forces his way in and draws a gun on her. Monica performs a stunning spinning kick--an exact copy of a move she witnessed a wrestler perform on television--and sends the robber through a glass partition. The man runs out of the restaurant.
Powers
Monica has the ability of photographic reflexes which allows her to perfectly replicate, without practice, any physical motion that she has witnessed. She is even able to replicate motions without active concentration, as shown when she absentmindedly cut a tomato into a rose. When watching a move performed, she goes into a short "trance" like state with mind recording the motion in her head. Notably so far, both acts that Monica replicated were acts that she first witnessed on television. It is assumed that she can also replicate actions seen in person.
