== Synopsis ==
A day after the events of the previous episode, Connor, Amaya and Greg are in the museum again. Connor is still thinking about Bastet and he finds it hard to get used to her right now. Then Mrs. Taylor shows the kids some old tablets with Egyptian music, but notices one is missing. One that, according to Mrs. Taylor, showed two fearsome cats dancing. Connor wants to investigate the missing tablet, but Greg and Amaya think Bastet would be the perfect hero for this job since she’s all about pharaohs. Connor reluctantly agrees to try and learn her more about teamwork.
That night, the Power Heroes meet up in Power Q, with Bastet joining them for the first time. She is convinced Pharaoh Boy is the one that stole the tablet. Along with Catboy, she takes the Cat-Car and heads into the city. Along the way, Catboy tries to learn more about Bastet. In the museum, Pharaoh Boy is practicing the music from the stolen tablet on his saxophone. The music ends up attracting the Alley Cat. When Pharaoh Boy spots her, he uses her as a target to practice his music, which turns out to be a magic melody to control cats; the spell of the dancing cats.
Bastet and Catboy arrive at the museum, but disagree on the best course of action. Eventually, Bastet ends up going into the museum first. Pharaoh Boy is ready for her however and uses the music spell to take control of Bastet. He forces her to dance, until Catboy comes rushing into the room and takes Bastet to safety. He then heads back in to try and take Pharaoh Boy's saxophone. Unfortunately, Pharaoh Boy has put some sphinx oil on the floor that causes Catboy to slip and fall, which allows Pharaoh Boy to take control of him. Bastet tries to help, but also falls under the music's spell.
Pharaoh Boy leaves the museum, forcing his two prisoners to follow him. They are spotted by Newton Star who tries to stop Pharaoh Boy, but Pharaoh Boy has Catboy and Bastet perform a freezing spell named The Dance of Two Cats on him. He heads into the city, planning to have Catboy and Bastet freeze anyone who gets in his way. Then Alley Cat shows up and leaps past Pharaoh Boy's face, causing his allergies to kick in. He sneezes and drops the saxophone, which frees Bastet and Catboy. They quickly climb onto a roof before Pharaoh Boy can retrieve his saxophone, and come up with a plan. Catboy uses his Cat Speed to retrieve the tablet with the music spell, and steal Pharaoh Boy's saxophone. Pharaoh Boy summons his Staff of Ra, while Catboy and Bastet quickly play the music backwards to break the freezing spell holding Newton. Bastet then plays another tune to take control of Pharaoh Boy, and forces him to return to The World Beyond. The three heroes and Alley Cat shout their victory cry.
