### Full Plot

The episode directly follows a few days after the events of the previous episode "Battle for my Brother."

The episode begins with Jake at the bottom of the stairs in the living room trying to get Amy to come downstairs out of her room. Amy gets angry at him and instead of even responding to his request, she shoots a powerful sonic blast at him from the doorway of her room.

Hartley then comes over and tells Jake she made batch of cookies to give to Amy as a gift to apologize and hopefully talk to her about resolving their whole conflict. Jake lets her know that Amy is unflinching in her resentment and anger, and that even with the previous offers of baked items that Hartley made in her attempts to placate her with, Amy has only been using them as "target practice" ammunition at Jake along with her sonic blast superpowers, destroying the baked treats and leaving them in a clumped up mess and in a pile of plastic containers on the floor.

Hartley and Jake then talk to each other about how they got into the whole conflict with Amy in the first place and about other ways they think they could use to reconcile with her and get her to forgive the both of them. Amy then comes downstairs and tells Jake and Hartley she's not coming downstairs to make amends with them, but just to get herself some store bought cookies from in the kitchen. Hartley and Jake then apologize to Amy again and explain their intentions about the whole situation with him and Starling, but to no avail as Amy still refuses to reconcile with them. Despite being furious with him, Amy refuses to tell their parents about Jake and Starling as she is still loyal. However, Amy still leaves them to say she'd rather hang out with their other brother, Colby, than hang out with Jake.

Colby himself comes in and then tells Jake, Hartley, and Amy that because of the mishap from his dad's re-atomizer machine from a few weeks ago, he keeps shape-shifting back and forth between his normal teenaged self, and his Old Man self. As Amy leaves the three of them, Jake then says he thinks the only way to get his sibling bond and relationship back with Amy is to demonstrate his loyalty to her and to prove she can trust in his loyalty.

Later at their high school, Jake and Hartley are still trying to concoct ways to show Amy that they can win her trust and cordial relationships back. He then tells Hartley that he was able to give Amy a double-sized locker as a gift to show her that he cares about her as her brother. As Amy opens both lockers on the top and bottom, she asks Jake about whoever was using the locker on the bottom that he commandeered to give to her along with her top locker, to which he says, the student who was using the bottom locker made him start carrying around his stuff for him and that he has to pay him $200 by the end of the day to let Amy use his locker.

Amy sarcastically "thanks" him for the gift until she reveals that ironically, the kid he took the locker from was already paying her for him to use the bottom locker at first, and that Jake's gift was basically pointless because she's now losing his money and she was already using the same bottom locker anyway. Jake then leaves as he tells Hartley even though he messed up with the lockers, he's still not giving up and that he'll find a bigger way to show Amy that he can win her trust back.

Amy then goes over to Hartley to try and talk to her and tell her that she can't hold onto her grudge against Jake forever because he's her brother, and she says even if she holds a grudge against her, she can't afford to hold one against Jake forever. Hartley then tells Amy that what happened between Starling and Jake is in the past and that Amy has to forgive her brother and move forward, and maybe be mature enough to respect his choices even if she disagrees. Amy retorts back at her that when she and Jake were supervillains as Havoc and Chaos, they were inseparable and told each other everything, and she feels like Jake hiding the secret about her nemesis Starling from her ruined that for her and that she feels it'll never be the same again.

Hartley apologizes again to her for keeping the secret, and Amy says she understands why Hartley was in such a tough position and then proceeds to tell her she actually forgives her and that they can be friends again. However she tells Hartley that she doesn't think she's ready to forgive Jake yet and that it may take some time for her to get over her conflict with him first before she can forgive him. Hartley tells Amy that she still needs to try harder to forgive Jake and be more mature about Jake and his personal choices with Starling, or anything else related to him wanting to be a normal, good guy because he's still her brother at the end of the day. Amy finally ends the conversation by saying she'll think about it but it's not a definite yes, as they both part ways to go to their respective classes.

Meanwhile, at the Madden house, Eva and Old Man Colby are sitting at their kitchen table as Vic comes in from the downstairs lair in the basement and tells then he thinks he's made a lot of progress in fixing his re-atomizer machine and that it may be close to getting Colby back to his normal self permanently again. Eva retorts back at him saying he's been saying the same thing for weeks. Eva then tells Vic she misses her young adolescent, teenage boy Colby and wishes he would stop glitching and transforming back and forth between his old man self and his younger self. Just as she says this, he transforms back into his younger, regular self for a few moments, and then transforms back into his old man self again.

Elsewhere, Hartley comes over to the Madden House's front yard and greets Amy with a cake that she tells Amy she baked to celebrate their reconciliation with one another. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large metal and wooden bench flings down from the sky and lands in the middle of their yard, startling both of them. Jake then comes in and reveals he was the one who threw the bench into their yard.

Jake then explains that since he believed there's nothing his normal, true identity could do to prove Amy wrong about him not being loyal to her, he decided to get back into his villain persona as Chaos to see if that would help prove his loyalty to Amy. Much to Hartley's surprise and astonishment, Amy actually agrees to forgive Jake just because he's acting like his old, supervillain self again and she finds it impressive. Hartley then asks Jake is he sure about going back to his old supervillain ways since he came a long way from it and since he came a long way to try and become a good guy now. When he answers that he's sure, Hartley also scolds Amy for encouraging him to do so because she feels like its wrong and bad for him to throw away all the effort he made to become a better person just to impress his sister.

He then argues a good person would do everything to get his sister back, even if it means going to the extremes sometimes, i.e., partially embracing his old supervillain ways just to win Amy back. Hartley then let's them know that she highly disagrees with them and that if they go on a supervillain rampage together like old times, they'll risk getting their family caught and put in danger. Amy argues that they've had plenty of experience with not getting caught before and that they can handle it without risking their family getting in trouble.

Meanwhile, back inside the house, normal teenaged Colby is bouncing on a pogo stick, having fun in the basement lair with Eva and Vic, as they look on. They then tell Colby that they think him doing fun, physical activities while he's in his regular, adolescent form may keep him from changing back into an old man. This theory fails, though, when he falls off the pogo stick and transforms back into his old, elderly self again. Vic then reveals he made a device that measures molecular stability, and that Colby's molecular stability from his shape-shifting is plummeting very lowly, which is causing him to transform back and forth between his young self and his old self so randomly. Colby then asks what happens if his molecular stability drops into the extremely low ranges, and Vic reluctantly tells him his body may either start to wither away and that they'll lose him permanently, or he may go back to transforming into different random objects again like before.

Later that evening, Jake and Amy are hanging out near a hilly, grassy area filled with large, electrical transmission towers, as they're talking to each other about the fun, villainous exploits they've been pulling off together all day. Amy says she's happy they're getting to bond together like old times and she then reveals that she actually wanted to take Jake to the local power plant, (where all the electrical transmission poles and towers are) so that they can actually cut off the power to the city and do some even more dangerous supervillainy things while the power is off. Jake acts slightly reluctant and hesitant but tries to pretend that he wants to do it with her. Amy notices it looks like he's having second thoughts and questions him on it to make sure he still wants to do it. Jake then tells her that's what she said she wanted to do and because he's loyal to his sister, he's going to do it with her.

Just then, suddenly, Hartley comes running over to them, revealing she tracked them down and followed them and then begs them to stop and think about what they're about to do because it could cause serious consequences and cause them and other people to get seriously hurt. Amy then tells them they're just having a little fun and she promises no one will get hurt by their antics, but Hartley begs them to stop and says she's not going to let them ruin the town of Valley View just for the two of them to get a kick out of pulling villainous pranks. Hartley then angrily and sternly scolds Jake for pretending to be something he's not just to get Amy to forgive him, and she also chides and reprimands Amy for encouraging Jake to do something he knows he shouldn't be doing just to take advantage of him and get on his good side. Amy then concedes and says Hartley is right as she apologizes to Jake and tells him he doesn't have to go through with their cutting-off-the-power plan just to get back on her good side. Jake breathes a sigh of relief showing that he really was reluctant and having second thoughts like Amy thought he was and says he's glad she changed her mind before he actually did it.

Hartley then pulls Jake away from the electrical transmission tower before he gets the chance to put the legs of the tower safely and gently back into the ground, and the electric wires and power lines connecting the transmission towers accidentally snap as the tower falls over to the ground, opposite of them. The incident causes a massive blackout across the city as Jake, Amy, and Hartley all panic. Amy then tells them to calm down and walk away whistling in a calm, relaxed manner so no one will suspect anything if they see them out and about on their way home. Amy and Jake whistle as they walk away; Hartley struggles to try to whistle as she doesn't know how to and ends up spitting more than whistling.

Back at the Madden House, Vic and Eva are rushing to put Old Man Colby in the re-atomizer machine, hoping to turn him back to his normal self permanently, as Vic fears they're running out of time with his molecular instability increasing. Just then as he activates the machine, Colby transforms back into his normal teenaged, adolescent self, but then transforms again back into his elderly old self. Vic then reassures them by telling them the machine just needs some time to charge up to full power to get it to work correctly, until all the power suddenly shuts off inside the lair and inside their home.

Sitting in the dark during the power outage, Vic tries to toggle with the circuit breaker inside the lair and inside the house, turning on the emergency lights, until he realizes the whole city must be under the power outage. Eva then tries to use her electricity superpowers to zap the machine and try to power it back on but Vic tells her her superpowers are too strong for the machine and that he needs the steady power from the city's electricity grid to power it correctly, meaning they'll have to wait until the town gets the power fixed. Hartley, Amy, and Jake then come inside the house and meet Eva, Vic, and Colby, in the lair revealing to them that they caused the blackout. Vic and Eva angrily scold Jake and Amy and tell them about Colby's situation, and how they fear they could lose him permanently if they don't fix his glitching shape-shifting. Colby then rapidly transforms back and forth between his elderly self and his young, teenaged self as his body becomes more unstable.

Amy and Jake then decide to restore the electricity at the site of the fallen power tower. When they get there, however, they notice a local power and utility crew are already there trying to fix the power outage and are examining the collapsed tower they accidentally knocked over. They then decide to use Amy's vocal imitation and manipulation superpowers to create the sound of an explosion in the distance, causing the power crew leader to have his people rush away to investigate it. The siblings then decide to use their superpowers to try and fix the transmission tower and restore the electric grid, but they discover their powers aren't suitable to fix the destroyed power lines.

Back at the house, Vic and Hartley are becoming tense and anxious as Colby's molecular instability is increasingly getting worse and his body is starting to negatively react to it. When Vic tries to call out upstairs to Eva, she doesn't respond back. It's then revealed Eva went to go help Jake and Amy at the downed tower, citing she couldn't let them try to use their powers alone to fix the transmission tower and the power lines they damaged. She then uses her electrical powers to fix the transmission tower and the power lines, causing the power in the city of Valley View to be successfully restored.

Back at the house, Vic and Hartley power up the re-atomizer machine and help put Colby back into the machine to hopefully help him get back to normal. Just then, Jake, Amy, and Eva reunite with Vic and Hartley back in the lair as Vic activates the machine. Colby then transforms back into his regular, adolescent, teenaged self again, but they wait to see what happens to him first before they celebrate. Vic then uses his molecular stability meter he invented to measure Colby's molecular stability and then says his molecular stability levels are normal and that he and his shape-shifting powers should be okay now. Everyone then happily cheers and hugs each other in a big group hug. Vic and Eva then angrily reprimand and scold Jake and Amy and at first ground them for two days. Eva then reminds Vic they'll have to be in the house with them for the entire 48 hours if they ground them for two days, so he then changes their punishment to only being grounded for 2 hours.

As Hartley says she's glad everything worked out, she leaves Jake and Amy in the basement lair alone. Jake then tells Amy he was glad he got to hang out with her and that he hopes maybe they could hang out and spend some quality bonding time together again and more often. Amy says she's likewise glad to hang out with Jake too, and then apologizes for blowing up at him about him seeing and hanging out with Starling from before, and she actually says she will respect Jake's choices if he wants to hang out with Starling and date her and be a romantic couple with her, even though she still dislikes it and doesn't understand what he sees in her. Jake gladly accepts and apologizes to Amy again for hiding the truth from her and says he'll let her know everything she needs to know from now on. They then go back upstairs to go hang out with the rest of the family and make up for the times they lost from Colby's superpowers malfunctioning.

The next day at Valley View High School, Amy and Hartley are back to being best friends again as Amy asks Hartley since they made up as friends, if she can go back to doing some of her homework for her again. As Amy walks away, Hartley drops some of her books, as a young, handsome student next to her bends down and picks up her books for her. She then thanks him and flirts with him as she notices he's attractive, and he then tells Hartley that he's her new locker neighbor and introduces himself as Declan. Hartley asks Declan if it's his first day at their school to which he responds it is and briefly tells her about the misadventures of his first day at the school. Hartley then offers to give Declan a tour of the building after the school day is over, to which he happily agrees as Hartley goes to class excited from the flirty and giddy exchange they just had.

After Hartley walks away, Declan then reveals he has an electronic wristwatch that's actually a two-way communication device. It is revealed his *real* name is Oculon, and that he's an agent for Onyx, the head of the League of Villains. He then tells Onyx through his wristwatch that he can confirm the Madden Family is definitely hiding out in Valley View, Texas to which Onyx responds for him to be cautious, gain their trust, and don't blow his cover until the conditions are just right for him and the League of Villains to come to Valley View and attack the fugitive family and get revenge on Havoc and Surge.
