== Synopsis ==
The episode opens with a fight between Bastet and Pharaoh Boy at the museum, which Bastet wins. As Pharaoh Boy is forced to retreat, Catboy, Owlette and Gekko show up. Bastet claims there’s no need for them to come to her aid, as she can handle Pharaoh Boy herself and she thinks the other Nighttime Villains are easy compared to him. The PJ’s are clearly concerned about Bastet’s attitude.
The following day, at school, Connor tries to show off his basketball skills, but he is clearly not good at it. Amaya reminds him that just because he’s good at soccer he is not necessarily good at basketball; just like how Bastet should not underestimate the other villains just because she can take on Pharaoh Boy. They decide to help her with tonight’s mission despite her claims from the night before.
That night, the Power Heroes meet up in Space HQ and notice several villains are causing trouble so they will have to split up. Owlette and Catboy will go after Romeo and invite Bastet along, but she declines as she wants to focus on Pharaoh Boy and considers the other villains a waste of her time. She uses her Sun Disc to travel to Earth, leaving the stunned heroes behind. She arrives in the city and starts looking for Pharaoh Boy.
Elsewhere in the city, Luna Girl and her moths prepare to steal some buildings so Luna can build her own city on the moon. However, her Luna Magnet is not strong enough for this task. When Bastet walks by, a ray from her Sun Disc hits the Luna Magnet and temporarily gives it more power. This gives Luna the idea to steal the Sun Disc. She first steals a stone tablet from the museum, and uses this to convince Bastet that she can tell her where Pharaoh Boy is hiding. She brings Bastet to The Park, but once there reveals her true intentions and has her moths attack Bastet. Bastet drops the Sun Disc, which Luna then steals.
Luna traps Bastet in a moon bubble that prevents her from summoning the Disc. She then combines the Sun Disc with her Luna Magnet, giving it the ability to let Luna teleport and finally making it strong enough for Luna to steal the buildings for her city. As Luna begins to steal buildings, Catboy and Owlette have just stopped Romeo’s plan (which apparently involved turning statues into robot). They notice what Luna Girl is doing and confront her, but with her new powers Luna easily captures them too.
Luna drops the captured Owlette and Catboy off at the park with Bastet and continues to gather buildings. Bastet apologizes for overestimating her own abilities, and together the heroes think of a plan to stop Luna. They follow her into the city, where Bastet claims to Luna that she is currently only using half the Sun Disc’s power. She offers to unlock the Disc’s Full potential. As expected, Luna can’t resist the chance to get more power, so she allows Bastet to come near, which gives Bastet the chance to separate the Sun Disc from the Luna Magnet instead. The heroes then use the Disc to free themselves from their Moon Bubbles, after which they defeat Luna and, with help from Newton, return all the buildings to their proper place. Together, they shout their victory cry.
== Moral/Lesson ==
* Don't underestimate things/others.

* Bastet's line "Suffering Sphinxes," is a reference to a catchphrase said by Sylvester from Warner Bros's Looney Tunes, "Sufferin' Succotash."
