The man in the Blue Morpho costume reveals himself to be Vendata and the shaking of the tower causes the Venture logo to fall onto the entrance, sealing everyone inside. The shaking stops when Vendata plugs himself into the PROBLEM light so he can talk to Jonas. Various parties recount the story of the Blue Morpho. Blue Morpho obeyed Jonas because he was blackmailed with a sex tape, and Jonas had his wife "swing by my compound" when she was having trouble conceiving. When she became pregnant, Jonas took Kano as payment. After Blue Morpho died in a plane crash, Jonas made his remains into a cyborg, but Kano was forced to kill him after he tried to strangle Rusty while malfunctioning. Dr. Z found him and reprogrammed him into the evil Vendata, who was taken by Red Death to hijack a movie night on Gargantua-1, where Jonas caught him trying to broadcast the sex tape. He told Vendata that he was the Blue Morpho, prompting Vendata to open the bay doors, killing Jonas. After Brock beat him up in Don Hell's club, he regained fragments of his memory and walked to Newark, putting on his old costume and seeking out Jonas. Back in the present, the Action Man has a stroke and Pete uses the lobby's shrink ray to get Team Venture out of the tower. The Monarch breaks in, planning to kill Blue Morpho to clear his name. His presence distracts Blue Morpho and he addresses him as "Malcolm", prompting Jonas to seize him with the light's tendrils. Blue Morpho engages his thrusters and they fatally crash. The Monarch addresses Blue Morpho as "daddy?" and claims he killed both men when the Guild arrives. Post-credits scene: At the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Team Venture discusses the health of the Action Man, who is in a coma. A balloon of a young Rusty gets loose and flies away.

After Rusty sustains severe injuries jumping out a window while demonstrating his new technology, Hank uses him being gone as an excuse to rent out his old room to a German couple. With his relationship with Sirena straining because college is taking up all her time, he tries to admit his insecurities to Rusty, only to realize he is high on morphine. Hatred and Brock kill the German couple, assuming them to be intruders. The Monarch is assessed by the Council as a level five (out of ten) villain, and Dr. Mrs The Monarch advises him to arch legitimately for a while when he overdraws on his bank account. Dean moves into his college campus and learns that Rusty has enrolled him in multiple science classes against his will. He talks to his superhero professor, who encourages him to try his botany class, with Sirena being the only other student. The Monarch crashes the class because the professor is his new arch, and a fed-up Dean pays him one million dollars to leave them alone. Sirena thanks him with a kiss on the cheek, and Dean realizes he is attracted to her. Post-credits scene: The Monarch is celebrated as the Guild's top earner of the month and is moved up a level.

Dean goes to Ben's house and meets a model of H.E.L.P.eR. that can speak, watching the house while Ben is away, who acknowledges that Dean has been cloned - yet addresses him as "Rusty" as he leaves. The Guild and the O.S.I. are unable to reach an agreement over the logistics of their conditions, and Rusty, the mediator, snaps at them and accuses them of being childish, forcing them to come to an agreement. As Dermott reports the incident with S-464 to Gathers and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, Dean, realizing Rusty is also a clone, hugs him. Post-credits scene: Dr. Mrs. The Monarch explains to Phantom Limb that "PP" stands for "Peril Partnership", a rival villain organization, meaning they have a mole in the Guild.

The Monarch takes part in the "Little Villain" training program, where he is assigned to St. Cloud. He and 21 find their efforts to make him more menacing futile, although Dr. Mrs. The Monarch illegally upgrades his weapons above his level, knowing it will catch the O.S.I.'s attention.

S-464 talks to McManus when she arrives and they reconcile.

Rusty finishes his teleporter and Brock takes him to Gathers, who urges him to give it up so it does not destabilize the world economy. When he refuses, Gathers leaves him to talk to the Illuminati, who invite him to a gathering to try and change his mind. There, they give him the choice between having anything he wants by giving up the teleporter or being killed. The Monarch is tasked to work with a team put together by Copycat, planning to steal the teleporters from VenTech Tower. 21 arrives to give The Monarch his costume's wings and discovers that Copycat is using the team as a decoy. Copycat intentionally triggers the security system after Brock arrives to collect the teleporters, sending one of them to the panic room, and The Monarch winds up in it when Copycat's helicopter clips him. As Brock kills the team, Copycat airlifts the panic room out of the tower, only for Hatred to shoot down the helicopter, killing him. The Monarch escapes by using the teleporter, winding up next to 21, who has taken the other and is driving away. They crash and wind up with both teleporters after the other one falls out of the dropped panic room, narrowly escaping from Brock.

Dr. Mrs. The Monarch learns that to fully become the governing body of the Guild, the Council must perform one last arch and retire as villains. Red Mantle and Dragoon fearfully put off finding out who their arch is, only to learn that all of them are dead. Phantom Limb and Gathers have a penis-measuring competition, which the former wins by an inch. Red Death does not read his arch letter and instead kidnaps the Partnership man, ties him to a set of train tracks, and tells him that the Guild will not submit, although his fate is left unknown. Dr. Z goes to Johnny's rehab clinic and they reminisce about their old battles. Dr. Mrs. The Monarch goes in her old costume with 21 to arch her nemesis, who turns out to be Didae. 21 convinces her to approach her and they reconcile. She later reveals to 21 that she stole Didae's wallet. Didae goes to meet Rusty, but he is so strung out on the antivenoms Brock dosed him with that he passes out.
