==Plot==
===Part one===
The episode begins with a prelude, showing two guards walking around the perimeter of a mansion. Within a matter of seconds, they are shot down by a firearm equipped with a silencer. The vague assassin proceeds inside the manor and drowns another guard via the indoor pool. Eventually, guards begin dropping like flies because of the assailant, who makes her way to the master bedroom. The intruder fires several shots into the bed and peels back the bed sheets, revealing a pile of craftily arranged pillows. The assassin begins to look around the bedroom but flees when they hear the sound of police sirens. Waiting until the assassin was long gone, Donald Trump comes out of the closet with his cellphone. An assassin had made an attempt on his life and his guards clearly couldn't defend him.
The next day at the ACS HQ, Bagel discusses with his comrades how he is planning to propose to Lucy. While JJam and Collector support this decision, Web opposes it while Nozus is overall skeptical of marriage and its commitments. Oddly, John and Wario are silent. Web is particularly baffled at Wario's disinterest in the subject, but is shocked when Wario agrees with Bagel's pronouncement. John ambiguously glances at Bagel before Nozus interrupts everyone when he turns on the news. Donald Trump is going to jump off of a building. Because of Web's sly remark on the subject, Nozus gives him a parachute.
In a matter of seconds the ACS arrive on the scene with their helicopter. Donald becomes aware of this and jumps; Web follows, catches Trump, and deploys his parachute. When the two land on the ground, a horde of journalists encircle them and began asking them questions. As Web tries to leave, Trump won't let go of him. He whispers to Web that he has to come with him. Web shakes his head but Donald warns he'll make a scene if he doesn't come along. Web brings Donald into the ACS Helicopter and, as expected, everyone is disappointed at Web, who says he was in a difficult predicament but the team isn't hearing it. From afar, the assassin watches.
John blindfolds Donald as they near the ACS HQ so he doesn't discover the exact location of the place. When they arrive, Trump elucidates himself, saying an assassin is trying to kill him and that he needs the team's protection. After much bickering between the members, the team ultimately decides to assist Trump. They allow him to stay at the HQ until they devise a plan.
Later that night, a man performing parkour hurriedly jumps through rooftops. As he jumps, a newspaper flies by with the headline: NICKTROPOLIS ROBIN HOOD? The Golden Bandit Strikes Again. When the Golden Bandit attempts to hinder a robbery, another vigilante intervenes, brutally wounding the robbers and fracturing their bones. The Golden Bandit decides to trail the vigilante but to no avail. As he prepares to head home, the vigilante resurfaces and decides to directly confront the Golden Bandit. He doesn't want to fight but the hooded vigilante isn't listening to reason. In the process of brawling, the vigilante manages to snatch the Golden Bandit's mask, revealing his identity: Wario. In retaliation, Wario performs his signature super-sonic scream and temporarily immobilizes the vigilante. Wario takes off the vigilante's hood and divulges that the vigilante is a female. The two make brief eye contact before the vigilante smiles and runs away.
The next day, Donald wakes up to the sound of the television in the main hall. There, he finds all the ACS members watching the news. His mansion in Richmen Hills was burnt to the ground. In a blind rage, Donald begins threatening the lives of the ACS, as he believes they could have prevented this. John reciprocates Donald's actions by punching him in the face, knocking him out unconscious. Donald awakes back inside the ACS Helicopter with the team, who have finally devised a plan, albeit not foolproof.
The plan is simple: they'll use Donald as bait. John explains that, being a former assassin himself, he would have made attempts to lure his target out. He suspects that Donald's assassin has not left the vicinity and is instead waiting for Trump to show up. After waiting for the news team and fire department to leave, Nozus lands the helicopter near Donald's mansion. Collector, Web, and JJam hide themselves in the nearby forest in an attempt to find the killer, while John, Bagel, and Wario go incognito as Donald's bodyguards. Nozus stays in the helicopter, having an aerial view of the whole scene.
Collector sees the silhouette of a person in the forest from afar. Collector contacts Web and JJam via headset, who both have no view of Collector. Realizing that is the suspect, Collector attempts to pursue the assassin, who makes a run for it. Collector ends up bumping into JJam, but the two both grow anxious when they hear rustling in the bushes. When they go to check it out, they find a live grenade. The explosion is heard by everyone and leaves a crater in the forest large enough for Nozus to see. Web, being the closest to Collector and JJam, follows the sound of the explosion only to be tased by the mysterious assailant.
Collector and JJam managed to seek refuge before the grenade denoted. Together, they find an unconscious Web, whose heart isn't beating. They immediately contact Nozus, who takes Web back to the HQ. Meanwhile, the assassin reaches Donald, John, Bagel, and Wario. Unable to see because of a smoke bomb, John flies up to find that the attacker has already entered the smoke haze. When the smoke dissolves, both Bagel and Wario are found unconscious, while Donald is fleeing to his destroyed mansion. Before the pursuer can get close to Donald, John interferes and the two begin to fight.
The assailant, clearly revealed to be a female, attempts to create some distance between her and John by kicking him in the torso. The attack doesn't do much, but John doesn't intend to do much harm to a woman so he doesn't react immediately. The assassin then begins attacking John using a series of punches and kicks, which have little effect on him. Irritated, the assassin takes out a pistol and attempts to shoot John, but John pushes said attack's arm to veer off the bullet. He then takes the handgun and empties its magazine before giving it back politely. Hearing the footsteps of John's fellow comrades, the assassin realizes her defeat is imminent if she doesn't do something quickly. The assassin uses her thumb and index finger to form a V-shape and hits John's throat with it, then proceeding to kick him in his nether regions, stopping him momentarily. Before Collector and JJam could catch up, she makes a run towards the destroyed mansion. There, she finds an open underground shelter and assumes Donald has hid in there. By the time Collector and JJam reach John, he is back in good shape and the three pursue the attacker immediately. They all enter the shelter as well, only to find that they have been duped. The opening of the shelter shuts automatically, as Donald has lured his enemies into a trap.
Donald, standing behind a glass barrier, informs the four of them that he has ensnared them in a gas chamber. He explains his reasoning for wanting to eradicate the ACS; the enemy of his friend is his enemy (he has connections to Dr. Unknown). After pressing a button, the air vents in the room begin to emit carbon dioxide. The glass barrier is unbreakable and the walls are fortified with asellusium, the strongest metal in the world, so the four have no clue on how to escape. John contacts Nozus via headset for assistance but he is still treating Web. Frantically, John begins punching the walls in an attempt to break them, only managing to dent them instead. Though John cannot die from the CO2, he is concerned for the fate of his friends. The assassin picks up on this. Collector and JJam look at each other before informing John to stop his futile attempts; they see their fate as inevitable and believe their deaths would be principled and honorable, dying during a mission. Feeling helpless, John refuses to give up.
The assassin finally speaks up, asserting that they need to clog the air vents. As John begins to take off his shirt, the assassin laughs and informs him that he doesn't need to do that, but to instead break the air vents. John does as ordered, the assassin then takes out several grenade-esque weapons and passes them to the three, informing them to throw the projectiles inside the vents. The projectiles detonate on impact but instead of an explosion, an extremely strong adhesive emanates, completely covering the air vents. When John asks the assassin why she didn't do that from the start, she tells him that she simply wasn't interested in living anymore.
===Part two===
Outside, Donald prepares to kill Bagel and Wario, who are still unconscious. However, his actions are interrupted by Nozus, who comes back with the helicopter and begins firing its miniguns at Donald. As he seeks cover back inside his destroyed mansion, Nozus lands the helicopter and equips himself with his Immobilizer. Unable to find Donald, Nozus is ready to go on a wild-goose chase if need be but the screams of his comrades underground impedes this decision. Nozus finds the hatch that leads to the underground shelter and frees his friends. As they leave the room, the assassin notices that Nozus is eyeing her and she takes note of the handcuffs behind his back; she willingly gives Nozus her hands as she knew she had been stopped. Donald has fled so Collector and JJam help Wario and Bagel into the helicopter and the team heads back to the HQ.
Inside Cubicle #966, the team's dependable inquisitors, John and Nozus, interrogate the assassin, but she is reluctant to talk. After continual threats from Nozus, John reassures the assassin in an attempt to comfort her. Eventually, she reveals her name to be Erin and divulges her motives and backstory, which is presented in the form of a flashback.
A journalist is covertly spying and eavesdropping on Chief of Police Captain O' Avraf, Dr. Unknown, and politician Donald Trump. Donald wishes to develop more properties in Nicktropolis and realizes the cheapest way to accomplish this is to start a gang war between Mimic's Russian Mob and TBA.
