**VK to Villain** is an episode during Descendants: Wicked World, Season 3. Chetana blackmails Carlos into helping her steal a mysterious item from Yama's safe, threatening to tell Chief Cruz the Night Watcher's secret identities if he doesn't help her.

## Plot

The episode begins with the Night Watchers clashing against Chetana and her partner. The team tail Chetana's ally as Jay fights Chatana's daughter. After the partner dispatches John and dodges Mal and Evie's attacks, Chetana prepares the final blow on Jay. To Chetana's surprise, her partner turns on her and saves Jay, sending Chetana crashing into a dumpster. The team takes advantage of the distraction to trap the partner and remove his mask, revealing his identity: Carlos.

Carlos explains the whole story and the scene shifts forty-eight hours earlier at Joe's Diner. During Carlos's lunch date with Jane, Jane was distracted by the slow progress on her Night Watcher's investigation. After receiving a text from her father, Chief Cruz that Chetana escaped from prison, Jane decides to change the subject and invites Carlos to a movie. At that moment, John (in his Johnmeleon suit) summons Carlos to a mandatory meeting, forcing Carlos to leave Jane. At Windborn Candy Co., the team tries tracking Chetana with Basemax, only to turn up without a trace due to Chetana taking precaution. The Night Watchers decide to head out on night patrol despite their relations with Cruz and the SFPD. Meanwhile, Jane analyzes the relationship between Alastair Krei and Chetana and sets out to interview Krei. Krei denies associations with the heroes, and when Jane presses for more, Krei forces her out. As Jane leaves, she notices Carlos's picture among Krei's employees and takes a picture of it for her conspiracy wall, congratulating him.

After an unsuccessful night patrol, Carlos heads to the garage to fix the Johnmeleon suit where he encounters Chetana waiting for him. Reminding him she learned about their identities from her captain, Uma, Chetana forces Carlos's cooperation in helping her with a mission.

At SFIT, Jane interviews Professor Granville. As before, Granville feigns confusion of the Night Watchers and sends Jane out. Meanwhile, Chetana explains her plot of breaking into Mr. Yama's headquarters to Carlos, and needs Carlos's technological expertise to figure out how to shut down the security within two days. At Auradon Prison, Cruz interrogates William Callaghan on the Night Walkers, to which Callaghan consents. Cruz inquires if the Night Walkers are vigilantes, but Callaghan tells Cruz the Night Walkers saved two lives that day, Krei and his daughter. Callaghan then tells Cruz his belief that the heroes are vigilantes is wrong and withholds questioning. In her room, Jane begins to put the pieces together when Cruz appears. Jane hugs her father before he leaves, covertly swiping his phone with pickpocketing skills she learned from Carlos and then listens to Cruz's interview with Callaghan, where she learns of Yokai's role in the fire that took Tadashi De Mall's life.

In the alleys, Carlos meets up with Chetana and provides her a Flexible Display Technology mask. Using Carlos's sonic gloves and the masks' invisibility, he and Chetana storm Yama's place and disable both the cameras and thugs. Meanwhile, the rest of the team watch a news report of Cruz releasing Yama for the investigation right when Basemax alerts them she has detected Chetana. Sensing something is amiss, the Night Watchers head to Yama's headquarters. Once Carlos and Chetana enter Yama's office, Chetana retrieves what she was looking for—a pair of Daishō swords emblazoned in gold with her family's crest. After exiting, Chetana explains the blades are her family's heirloom traded away years ago for their protection from Auradon gangster guards. Carlos briefly sympathizes with her; suddenly, Yama confronts the two. The two incapacitate Yama before heading out, where the Night Walkers confronts them at the beginning of the episode.

Having brought the team up to speed, Carlos apologizes for misleading them, but the team forgives him as they understand why he did what he did in that situation. Just then, the police arrive looking for the heroes. Chetana stays behind to lead them away in gratitude for Carlos's help. After Chetana takes off with the police, the team regroup at headquarters relieved that their identities are safe. Meanwhile, Jane has connected all of the Night Walker's cases tracing to Carlos.
