== Synopsis ==
Continuing the previous part cliffhanger, Spyman's Cosmos begins their new mission. Meanwhile Jenny faces BSoD again, while No-Life is forced to go on vacation with his family, but runs out of patience already on the airport.
== Plot ==
The next morning, after receiving Jenny's two messages, Phil, who already told his friends about the situation, comes down to the basement and checks on the progress. OkiWan tells him that they didn't find much information, while Spy adds that they would know more if Mangle allowed them using computers. Ultimately, he tells PCus to search for some trust-worthy sources and Phil goes to the lab. Pankid is surprised that Lenny hasn't said any dirty joke about Phil and Jenny yet, but he explains that he also knows her. At the lab, Joseph informs Phil that they decoded the hieroglyphs and Mad tells him it's basically information about The Scarlet Griffin. Saturn also informs that the other message from Jenny, one that was ordered to her by BSoD, had a hidden message in it, saying "GET THE GRIFFIN, MAP IN BRUSSELS" with first letter of each sentence. Spy says that he can get a Phalanx jet with six places to get them to Brussels and ultimately him, Phil, Saturn, OkiWan, Lenny and Alice go to Brussels.
At Stool International Airport, No-Life is seen trying to survive waiting for the plane with his family. He can't stand a minute longer without playing games, when he spots an airport worker using a computer. He runs there, but to his surprise - the only game on that computer is Solitaire. Additionally, his dad yells at him and when he comes back to his place, the speaker announces that their plane is delayed. At BSoD's base, Jenny faces BSoD again. He discovered new information about activating the Scarlet Griffin's power, which surprises Jenny herself. Apparently, to activate it, a person needs to have a heart of gold and share four of the actual griffin's traits, so BSoD wants to use her to do it. Copper then says that they will transport her to Griffin's location when Commander Bus and Dr Rex return from Belgium with the scroll map. He is surprised though, when he sees the first one next to him. Commander Bus then explains to him and his boss that he hired some thieves to do it for them, as they are better prepared for this.
The thieves are revealed to be Tobias Sanders and Larry Mealey, who have a chat about the scroll, that they are supposed to get to their orderers. Tobias expresses a disbelief in the existence of a magical idol, but says he doesn't care, as long, as he gets the money. He then tells Larry to go inside the castle, but Larry corrects him that it's a château. Meanwhile, the gang is already there and soon gets into the library to look for some secret passages. Despite some fails, they finally activate one, thanks to Saturn and Alice's deduction, when they move lances held by six knight armours. They go through the hole they made and find themselves in a cave underneath. Phil is the one to bring the scroll from the column it's on, but before he's able to reach it, Tobias and Larry enter. Tobias grabs the scroll right in front of him and threatens to shoot him. Phil, however, responds by taking out his sai, while rest of his friends take out their respective weapons. Scared Tobias orders his co-worker to do something, but he acts stupid as always. They get into their usual argument and when Tobias yells at him, he notices that the gang is gone, as well as the scroll.
Friends stop before a bridge above an underground ravine and having a feeling that they may lose the scroll, Phil checks where exactly is the Scarlet Griffin located. Coincidentally, it's then when Commander Bus and Dr Rex teleport, but before anything can be said, Tobias runs and whips the scroll from Phil's hands, so he can get it to them himself and get the money. However Commander Bus says he can't get it anymore, as he called them. It's revealed that they were called by Larry, who didn't want to fight children. The old enemies then have an exchange. Bus projects a holographic video chat with BSoD. BSoD's Gang threatens to kill Jenny, if they don't get the scroll. When Phil is about to give it, Spy prevents him, which leads to Jenny being shot in the arm. Phil quickly gives the scroll to his enemies and in reward, BSoD reveals that their base is located somewhere in Austria and after that, Commander Bus and Dr Rex teleport back. Phil has an argument with Spy about his decision, but are stopped by Dr Saturn. They decide that they should go save Jenny first and then try getting the Griffin before BSoD's Gang.

== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*One of the background characters on the Stool International Airport is a reused template of Spongebob.
*With Tobias and Larry's appearances, this is the first regular episode to feature voice acting.
*Jenny's message with the secret sentence had to be so long, that The Philmer had to work on its content for over a week, so it aligned to all the needed letters.
*OkiWan was supposed to have an extra line in the first scene - he would say that he had actually heard stories of The Scarlet Griffin before, back in his homeland, as it had some impact for the Egyptian history. However, around the time the episode was being made, it was said that unlike his creator, OkiWan wasn't of Egyptian descent, so the line was scrapped.
=== Continuity ===
*No-Life confusing countries gag pops up again, with him confusing Austria and Australia. First time it happened was in No-Life's Home Alone, when he thought Paris was the capital of Spain.
*Tobias's line "If we screw this up, we'll have to stay with robbing houses" is a foreshadowing of their later fates chronologically in No-Life's Home Alone.
=== References ===
* Reading room, from The Philmer's history lesson specials returns. It originally appeared in About Poland in 7 minutes (1050th Christianization of Poland special) and then in 100th Anniversary of Polish Indepencence Special. Note: These videos are not canon in any way and the room's appearance is just an easter-egg.
* The book read by Pankid is literally titled "Ancient things n' stuff: The book". Its back cover also says: #stay_at_home Read a book or watch a film srsly we live in the digital age. Don't complain", as the frame was done in the early stages of quarantine caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
*The tiled square with an "X", or rather "10" in Roman numerals, put on the floor of château library, is an easter-egg to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the film, the main characters were also looking for a hidden passage in a library, which was actually under the said huge "X".
*Phil thinking over the scroll before grabbing it is a reference to Raiders of a Lost Ark, where Indiana Jones did the same thing over the Golden Idol.
*Jenny's line "I'll walk it off" was inspired by Captain America's words in Avengers: Age of Ultron - "If you get killed, walk it off".
