5. The Beaker Family

Despite losing their prized subject Nervous, the Beakers continue to study sim and alien life, with the consequences of their experiments still lingering. Now one of the richest families in Strangetown (due to benefactors that support their unethical medical experimentation), the Beaker family brushes fingers with the elite. Loki is top of the science career, while esteemed Circe fumes that Jenny Smith and Erin Beaker are at higher positions than her at the hospital. Ceres was sent away as a child to attend Circe's alma-mater boarding school, and is the snobbiest teen in Strangetown. While Ceres cannot wait to follow in her parents footsteps, she is also crushing hard on the richest, most-popular boy in school. Will she be able to win the heart of fellow elite Isaac Morrow? And Atom, despite being the oldest child, is the black sheep of the family, as he has long questioned their upbringing and the ethics of their parents' experiments. Is Atom poised to uncover & expose the truth about his parents pushing the boundaries of science?

From left to right: Beeba Wren Beaker and Atom Beaker

This is Atom with Beeba Beaker, who was his imaginary friend who he turned real when he was just a child, after his previous best friend (and nanny) Nervous Subject ran away from Beaker mansion. This scientific discovery impressed his parents at the time, but they are now wary of their closeness (given Atom doesn't let them experiment on her) and definitely don't consider Beeba part of the family. Atom is top of his class, but is a bit of a loner at school, and is feeling insecure about Beeba making friends with others (i.e. Gabbie and Harper) when he can't. Will Atom be able to make some new friends at school amid his conflicting feelings about his parents research?

Note: Atom insisted on this picture together when he noticed Beeba felt hurt about being left out of the family portrait.

Curious Family (from left to right) : Pascal, Penelope, Nervous, and Tycho Curious

Pascal's younger brothers moved away to start their own families, leaving Pascal to focus on his own. He has his wonderful son Tycho, and married the unlikely love of his life Nervous, having a biological child with him due to the genius of a friend of the family. Seeing his brothers' surpass him in position at the science facility hurts but seeing his son Tycho be the most accomplished of all the Curious cousins will soothe it. But are Tycho's grades enough to reach valedictorian before graduation? And how will Tycho cope under the pressure?

Meanwhile, it has always been Nervous' dream to be a photographer, but will he accomplish his goal or will his neurotic tendencies (due to his traumatic upbringing) hinder him?

From Left to Right: Elara Curious, Vidcund Curious, Magnus Curious, Erin Beaker, Noma Curious

10. The Beaker-Curious Family

Vidcund thrives with his daughter Elara, his fiance Erin Beaker, and twins Magnus and Noma. Falling in love with another person in the medical career with the last name Beaker wasn't the plan, but maybe Vidcund just has a type... at least that's what the town gossips. Vidcund is nearing the top of the science career while Erin is at the top of medical. Meanwhile, Elara wants to be at the top of the class to spite those who look down upon her for being alien, but is often saddled with babysitting due to her busy parents.

Despite his father's opinions, Tank lives with his long time boyfriend Blair Mace where they raise Tank's biological son Shannon, who resulted from a one night stand with the local hairstylist.

3. The Smith Family

Still reeling from the recent loss of Pollination Technician #9, this family is as close as it gets. Jenny is excelling in her medical career and is excited to meet her first grandchild (and saddened that the love of her life won't get to meet them). Aaron is trying to find his place in the world, wondering if he will succeed in a medical career with the alien prejudice still apparent in Strangetown. Judy, recently aged up to a teen, is wondering how to cope with her father's death and newfound insecurities. Jill, still dating her high school sweetheart, Buck Grunt, recently graduated college and is ready to start a career in psychology. How will this family fair without Poll?

2. Vu-Curious Family

Lazlo Curious married his sweetheart Crystal Vu and had 3 beautiful children: twins, Gabbie and Harper, and youngest Lorcan. Harper is the overachieving golden child whilst Gabbie is rebellious and high-strung, though the twins are as close as ever. Now nearing the top of the Science career, Lazlo seems determined to have one of his children follow in his footsteps, particularly Lorcan, who would rather foray in art like his mother. Meanwhile, the ambitious Crystal has hit a rut in her career at a successful art gallery and is desperate to be promoted.
