### Full Plot

The episode begins with Jake, Amy, and Hartley sitting on the couch watching a superhero movie on the TV, leading Amy to question why every superhero movie always ends with a superhero winning. Hartley tells Amy it's because people love seeing good prevail over evil. Just then, Colby appears out of nowhere on the coffee table startling them all, revealing he had shapeshifted into the TV remote on the table. Colby defends his actions by saying he's getting payback for all the times the Mayhem family used their powers to prank him when he was younger, so now he's using his powers to prank everyone else, especially Amy and their mom, Eva.

Later on, the trio are watching a TV commercial advertising for the upcoming ColossaCon Superhero Convention at their local convention center. Hartley then reveals to Amy that she wants to attend and that she's gone to it for the last five years. The TV commercial then announces that for the first time ever, Amy/Havoc's arch-nemesis, Starling will be in attendance at the ColossaCon, much to Amy's surprise. Hartley is psyched to go to want to meet her, but Amy is less than pleased about it and comes up with the idea of going to the convention to find a way to get revenge on Starling for their old battle. Jake then forces Amy to tell Hartley about the story of how her and Starling became personal enemies.

Jake says that while they were in Centropolis, Starling and Havoc had gotten engaged in an epic rooftop battle, with the two of them taunting each other. In their flashback, while Havoc is trying to use her sonic boom powers to fight Starling, Starling uses her own powers to redirect the sonic blasts back to Havoc and knocks her off her feet. Starling then took one last jab at her by insulting her while she was down on the floor of the roof, and then flew away, leaving Havoc defeated. Jake, in his supervillain uniform as Chaos, comes up to the roof of the building to check on Amy still lying down on the floor, beaten up and slightly bruised and dusty from the fight. She sits her head up slightly, while dizzy and asks him did she win or not and them slumps her head back down into unconsciousness.

Back in the present time, Jake says that's why Amy hates her so much because she was humiliated by their fight on the rooftop that night. Hartley then tells Amy she should be mad at Jake for making the viral meme of her that went viral after the fight, but Amy says she can only be so mad at him because he's her brother and he has a right to make fun of her and tease her as a sibling; most of her anger and irritation is directed at Starling.

The next day later at Valley View High School, Amy is sitting at the table in the middle of the hybrid indoor-outdoor atrium at their school, and tells Jake and Hartley that she's working on a concoction to dump on Starling's head onstage at the upcoming ColossaCon. She tells them she's using a type of substance called Chrominite in its liquid form to dump on Starling's head, because she knows its Starling's number one weakness, and that any exposure to it will knock her out cold. Hartley tries to convince her not to and says it may be too dangerous, and Jakes says she can't just go in there as her supervillain alias because she'll be caught and punished. Amy then responds she can get away with it as her normal secret identity and no one will suspect anything, especially if she pretends to be a huge fan at the convention. Hartley and Jake still try to convince Amy it's not worth it to go through with it, but Amy says she still wants to do it as payback for the world treating her like a joke after her defeat to Starling. After Amy walks away, Hartley then says to Jake they have to find a way to stop her but without anyone getting hurt.

Back at the Madden House, Vic and Eva are upset and frustrated with Colby because they feel like he's taking his shape-shifting pranks too far and doing them too much. Colby shape-shifted into his dad's bathroom towel and he unfortunately realizes he can't shape-shift back into his regular human self, causing him to panic when he realizes his powers are malfunctioning.

Later on, Amy prepares to leave the house to go to the ColossaCon, when Hartley and Jake bar her way at the door in an attempt to stop her. Jake and Hartley then decide to leave Hartley at the house with Amy to watch her and make sure she doesn't leave, while Jake has to go to baseball practice. Hartley offers to do some fun puzzle games and board games with Amy to keep her occupied. Jake then makes sure she doesn't go anywhere by locking her hands in special handcuffs around the railing of the stairs.

Hartley tries to go out of her way to entertain Amy but to no avail. Amy then asks Hartley to loosen the handcuffs because they hurt. When she does so, Amy tricks her and locks Hartley's hands into the handcuffs setting herself free. Amy then tells Hartley that she's going to ColossaCon and asks her to forgive her. Hartley says she'll forgive her but she'll still try to find a way to get free.

At the ColossaCon at the Capital Convention Center, Amy waltzes up to the front of a line, when she's confronted by one of the fans in a Starling costume who tells her she has to wait her turn and that she needs to be in a costume. Amy goes and reluctantly puts on a Starling costume, and much to her surprise, Hartley shows up wearing a Havoc costume. Hartley tells her she escaped from the handcuffs using her saliva and yoga to free herself. Amy then tells Hartley she wants to get her revenge so people will stop looking at her as a joke, but Hartley tries to tell her sometimes she has to just let things go because they're not always worth it.

To their surprise, the *real* Starling comes by and compliments Amy on her "Starling" costume. Amy takes this as motivation to go through with her revenge plot, but Hartley considers it a huge honor and almost fan-girls over it.

Back at the house, Vic and Eva are talking to Colby with him stuck in his "towel" form and trying to think of how to change him back. Vic then tells him his father and Colby's grandfather had the same problem when he had the same type of shape-shifting powers and that it took him a few months for his to go back to normal. Just as they're talking, someone knocks at the door, prompting Vic to think its Celia because they're late on their rent. Eva opens the door and Celia steps forward and says she wants the rent now. Vic and Eva then try to come up with excuses as a way to convince Celia to get off their backs about the rent, and lies about their dryer not working properly, saying that's the reason why they're drying their towels (pointing to Colby in his "dirty bathroom towel" form on the kitchen table) in other rooms with air-drying. Celia then says she'll give them a discount and knock a few dollars off their rent.

Back at ColossaCon, Amy is still trying to find the real Starling amid all the fake Starlings in costume, while Hartley, still in her Havoc costume, is struggling to keep up with her. They then notice a line of people all dressed up in Havoc's supervillain costumes. When she sees this, she has an ego boost and realizes that she still has fans out there who love and respect her. Hartley then tries to convince her to go home, until she realizes Starling is actually doing reenactments of the fight between her and Havoc on stage, with the fans dressed up as Havoc, and taking pictures of them with it. This enrages Amy when she realizes that's why those people dressed as Havoc are dressed up like her, and she asks Hartley if that's the reason why she's also dressed like Havoc too, but Hartley says its just because she found the costume in a clearance bin and couldn't find anything else in her size and that was cheap enough for her to afford.

Just then Jake arrives in costume as the superhero Captain Valor. Amy and Hartley confront him about why he's there, to which he says he's trying to gather supervillain intel on Starling. Amy then says it's just because he's a secret fan of the superheroes and Starling specifically, to which he confesses and asks for them to just let him have his fun. Amy then runs away while Hartley and Jake are bickering leaving them to wonder where she went.

Back at the Madden House, Eva and Celia sit at the kitchen table together with Eva trying to convince Celia their house is haunted. Vic, Eva, and Colby then band together to use their superpowers to persuade and trick Celia into thinking that there's a paranormal presence in the house, but Celia is still slightly skeptical. Celia rushes them because she says she has to get to her bingo night (to which Eva asks if she can come with but Celia says they're full) but then Colby makes ghost noises across the house to make Celia think he's a real ghost. He then flings himself in his towel form into Celia's face, scaring her. Celia then confesses that several people died in their house and that it took several tries to get someone to rent the house off of her when people found out about the deaths that occurred there. Vic then agrees to pay half on the rent as Celia leaves.

Back at the ColossaCon, Starling is doing the Havoc vs. Starling defeat reenactment pictures, while Hartley and Jake are still looking for Amy. They then notice Amy on the spotlight scaffolding near the ceiling, with Amy preparing to pour the Chrominite on Starling from above. Jake then uses his super strength to shake the spotlight scaffolding structure and to try and shake Amy off. Amy then falls off of it and ironically falls into the arms of Starling herself. Starling gently sets Amy down and Starling's fans are overjoyed to have witnessed her saving Amy from falling to the floor and hurting herself. Hartley then rushes up onstage to meet Starling and fan-girls over her as she's elated to meet her in person. Hartley then catches the Chrominite vial in her hands that Amy had when it falls off the spotlight fixture, and exclaims to be happy about saving Starling's life from the Chrominite. Starling then takes it and opens it, revealing it's just pomegranate juice (from a container of pomegranate juice that Amy had earlier, and she accidentally confused the two and poured it into the wrong vial), but thanks her anyway as she walks away. Jake then goes over to Starling as Amy and Hartley walk away to leave and says to Starling he actually wants to thank her himself. When she asks why, he has a flashback about how Starling actually saved his life back in Centropolis when he was about to fall off of the same building her and Havoc fought on, but while he was in his supervillain uniform as Chaos. When he comes back to, he realizes its not worth exposing their secret and decides to tell her thank you for giving him an autograph. She then gladly signs an autograph for him and walks away as she sweetly wishes him goodbye. Hartley then finds Jake and says he needs to hurry up and go with her to stop Amy: Amy is taking out her anger on one of the pretzel vendors in the convention center and she can't restrain her by herself.

The episode ends with Vic and Eva having Hartley and the family gathered around in the living room back at the house. Vic and Eva are scolding Amy for going to the ColossaCon and trying to seek revenge on Starling, saying it wasn't worth the risk of getting them in trouble or putting their lives in danger. Vic then tell Amy that the moment Starling caught her in her arms and saved her is now a viral online GIF that's even more popular than the original meme. Colby is also still stuck in his bath towel form and Vic and Eva are still trying to find ways to turn him back.

As the rest of the family leaves out of the room, Hartley tells Amy she's actually proud of her because she kept her composure and showed restraint and self-control when she could've easily snapped at any moment and fought Starling even without the whole Chrominite ordeal. Hartley tells her it shows growth and maturity, and says Amy was right for letting it go because it was the better and more valuable thing to do. Jake then comes back downstairs looking for Amy to tell her about the deaths that occurred in their house that Celia told them about but realizes her and Hartley already left. Jake then pulls out the photograph that Starling autographed and discovers she wrote a chilling note on it that he didn't see the first time around: "I know who you are. –Starling."
