I was reading Sword and sorcery short story with a wizard carrying an infant in a backpack that actually is a parasite and it brought back a vague memory of watching a TV show where something happens, giving some people powers, mostly teenagers. The world isn't greatly changed by these powers, I think in part because few people actually have them. A particular set of teenagers are working at a school together, bonded together, in part, by their shared powers, which escape me for the moment. A teenage girl arrives with her baby, and it seems she has some form of mind control that lets her enthrall the boys of the group, except that it turns out that it's the baby who has the power of mind control, and is blindly seeking out a father. I want to say the episode has the baby's thoughts voiced to the audience near the end, and it's simply, "Dada?" or something similarly infantile.
The show was in English, viewed more than 5 years ago, maybe up to 20 years ago in early 2000, and I have a vague idea that I watched it either via downloaded torrents or DVD box sets from the library.
