## Episode summary

The episode begins as Leeko is frolicking with two butterflies. After Leeko chases the butterflies to a nearby pond, a mysterious lizard appears from the pond and slurps up one of the butterflies, which draws Leeko's attention to the frog. Milly and Manny are searching for Leeko, who they spot by the pond by himself. They tell him that he is needed by Snowdrop to help with her laundry, and they start to hurry back. However, Leeko stands his ground with an unusually dour expression on his face. He finally joins the kids, only to express an evil look on his face, both expressions went unnoticed by Milly and Manny. The three arrive at Mayor Bay's villa and Leeko is called upon by Snowdrop to help her with the laundry. Inside, Mayor Bay's villa, Milly and Manny are helping the mayor's Butler set the table when they hear Snowdrop suddenly cry out in distress. They run outside and find her covered in laundry, after the laundry is pulled off of her, she claims that Leeko attacked her and ruined her laundry. Leeko arrives at Professor Antico's museum and soon after begins destroying his artifacts without any hesitation. Milly, Manny, and Chief Gordy overhear this chaos and rush over to Professor Antico's museum, only to learn that Leeko was the source of this attack as well.

Leeko strikes multiple other Puffies, which leads Milly, Manny, and the victims to gather together to discuss Leeko's uncharacteristic violent behavior. Leeko then recklessly drives Mayor Bay's car through Puffy Town and crashes it straight into Felix's gas station, which destroys both. At Castle Leonardo, Tommy reports to King Leonardo of Leeko's havoc that he is wreaking upon Puffy Town, which leads the two to drive into Puffy Town in the Royal Racecar. After they spot Leeko battering Peppermint's Table, King Leonardo decides to show the gathering that he is worse than the pink mouse going in after him. However, this backfires once King Leonardo witnesses Leeko's evil face up close for himself. After Leeko sets Peppermint's Table on fire, he snatches the Royal Racecar and begins to chase King Leonardo and Tommy with it. Once they jump out of the way, Leeko destroys it by ramming it into the police headquarters.

Late in the night, everyone is ordered by Chief Gordy to stay indoors as he, Chef Peppermint, and Antico patrol the streets of Puffy Town. After Leeko gives them a fright, though, they lock themselves inside of what is left of the police headquarters jail cell. Back at Castle Leonardo, King Leonardo gives Gene a call, in which he tells him of Leeko's monster-like behavior. Gene reminds him of the Demon Lizard that he ordered a few months back, and that the Demon Lizard is most likely the cause of Leeko's evil actions. Milly, Manny, and Moonlight Man eavesdrop on their conversation, and after they learn about the Demon Lizard, they set off to find Leeko. King Leonardo then orders the Demon Lizard's natural predator, the Mega Constrictor from Nebula Enterprises, to take out Leeko along with the lizard. Suddenly, Sir Pathogen rushes in and reports that Leeko is attacking the castle.

After King Leonardo and Tommy witness Leeko beat down all of the Viruses, Milly, Manny, and Moonlight Man arrive. As Sir Pathogen is spun and tossed by Leeko, the three notice two miniature bat wings on his back, which resemble that of the Demon Lizard's. King Leonardo then attempts to leap for Leeko in order to catch the Demon Lizard with tape, which fails after Leeko stops him and begins pounding him into the ground. Milly calls out to him to stop, which Leeko heeds, and for a few moments is his normal self. However, the Demon Lizard quickly reclaims its control over him and he continues to attack Leonardo. Moonlight Man states to the kids that the Demon Lizard has not fully possessed Leeko's mind yet, which led him to be able to resist the grasp of the Demon Lizard for a small amount of time. Milly calls out to Leeko again, but the Demon Lizard holds tight. After she calls out to him a third time, though, the Demon Lizard loses control of him. King Leonardo takes this opportunity to snap the Demon Lizard with tape, which he then attaches to himself.

This causes King Leonardo to enlarge and take upon a monstrous form of himself. He beats up a clueless Leeko and prepares to finish him off with his mallet until the Monster delivery system sends the Mega Constrictor through, which causes the Demon Lizard to lose its control on King Leonardo, who is shrunk back down to his normal self. The Mega Constrictor then swallows King Leonardo whole, which leads Tommy to plead for the others' help. After the kids refuse, the Mega Constrictor proceeds in its attack by chasing down Leeko and the others, leading Milly to call for the Shooting Star. Once the Shooting Star arrives, it bashes upon the Mega Constrictor, giving Leeko a chance to jump on before he is eaten too. Milly then tosses a torch to Leeko which he swiftly vacuum-mouths and gets the Fire Copy Ability. Fire Leeko flies the Shooting Star around one of the Castle Leonardo's towers until the Mega Constrictor is coiled around it. From there, he then transforms into a fireball and throws himself inside of the Mega Constrictor's mouth, lighting its head ablaze. After Leeko strikes it with one final blow from outside, the Mega Constrictor falls to the ground, defeated. Tommy happily reunites with a crisped but still alive King Leonardo, but they soon recoil in fear when Milly and Manny demand Leeko take vengeance on them for what they did to him, though Leeko does not feel the need to. The episode ends as Moonlight Man tells Milly and Manny to save their anger, informing them that Leeko will be challenged by a much more powerful foe very soon.
