### Full Plot

The episode begins with the Madden family and Hartley in their kitchen and dining room, sitting and talking around the table on Saturday morning about things to do for the weekend. Vic suggests some ideas for things for him and Jake to do together, in order to undergo some father-son bonding time. Colby also "flies" into the room, now transformed into a house fly; Amy tries to kill it before Colby calls out to her and tells her that he's transformed into a fly because of his superpowers still malfunctioning. Eva also comes in the room and announces she's going to be looking for a job at the community job fair at Jake and Amy's school. She also tells Hartley and Amy that she wants the two of them to come with her to the job fair as well.

Later on that day, Robert and Celia come inside the kitchen and talk to Vic and Jake about her leaving some of her paint supplies at the Madden Family's house. As Celia goes to find her paint supplies she has stashed at their house, Robert tells Jake and Vic that he's volunteering to go clean off some graffiti in their city, and that he's looking for some people to come join him. Jake heartily and happily agrees to go with him and says he wants to take the opportunity to be more involved in his local community, like Hartley is with the Sunshine Club. Robert is happy to have Jake to come with him to go clean off the graffiti, but Vic is less than enthusiastic, and quite upset because he was planning on having him and Jake spend some father-and-son quality bonding time together. Celia then comes back in the room and tells Robert that while she's waiting for him to come back to her place, she'll be preparing for their one-month anniversary since they started officially dating. Robert happily flirts with her and then leaves with Jake to go to their graffiti clean-up.

Jake and Robert then return hours later to the Madden Family house, much to Vic's annoyance as he's upset that Jake and Robert actually had a good and fun time bonding together. After Robert leaves, Vic then tells Jake he has a fun weekend planned for them, where he wants to use Jake's super-strength to steal and move a cell tower closer to their house to help them get better cell service and internet/WiFi reception. Jake then tells Vic he's actually not interested in doing it because he's no longer interested in doing villainous things anymore. Vic then suggests to Jake that they go hit some golf balls into people's chimneys together, hoping Jake will agree to it since its not necessarily "evil" or "illegal." Jake then tells Vic that he actually has plans to go with Robert on a ride-along in his police car, much to Vic's disappointment. Jake then tells Vic that he promises he'll be able to do something with him next weekend when he's free but that he really wants to spend the day with Robert and bond with him.

Meanwhile, at Valley View High School, Hartley and Amy are helping Eva at the community job fair, with Hartley having typed up a resumé for Eva, and the two girls are reviewing the resumé and helping Eva to impress different job interviewers around the job fair. One of the interviewers for a face cream and cosmetics company called FacciaGrande, Donna Plank, gives Eva a run for her money to try and get her to impress her for an interview, but Eva becomes nervous and runs away. Hartley and Amy then agree to do something to help boost Eva's confidence and overcome her nervousness.

Back at the Madden House, in the downstairs lair, Vic makes a clone of Jake's old villainous self, to spend some evil quality time with, in hopes that he will make the real Jake jealous. Vic then tells Clone Jake that he only needs him for just one day just so he can use him to make the real Jake jealous and make him want to come crawling back to him to spend some quality bonding time together.

Upstairs in the living room, Vic tells Clone Jake to act like he's having a blast going over their evil cell-tower-heist scheme for when the real Jake comes back. When he does come back, Jake asks Vic what's going on, to which Vic explains that he created Clone Jake to try and make him jealous. Jake then tells Vic that making a clone of him was stupid because he knows Celia is always coming over to their house and if she sees the Clone Jake and the real Jake together, she'll know something out of the ordinary is going on and may discover their secret. Celia herself then comes knocking on their door as Vic panics and tells Clone Jake to go hide, but Clone Jake refuses, saying he plays by his own rules.

When Celia finally comes in, the real Jake runs and hides in the kitchen; Celia says to Clone Jake that she wants his advice on how to impress and surprise Robert for their one-month anniversary and asks for his advice for a gift. The Clone Jake then tells Celia to get Robert something unique
like a flamethrower for their anniversary. Celia agrees and then leaves to go get Robert a unique gift like Clone Jake suggested. After she leaves, Vic promises the Real Jake he'll get rid of the clone, but after they go and chuck some golf balls into their neighbors' chimneys first.

Back at the school, Hartley and Amy check on Eva who's still nervous and chickening out from Donna Plank's question she asked her about working for the FacciaGrande face cream company. Eva then tells Hartley and Amy she feels like the way Onyx passed over her and denied her the promotion she wanted for the League of Villains got to her and that its killing her confidence when it comes to wanting to find any other job at all. Amy and Hartley then tell Eva that they will help her to finish the interview with Donna and the face cream company. They then concoct a plan where they decide to use Colby, since he's a housefly, as a mouthpiece to listen in on Donna's interview questions, and then when he flies over to Amy and Hartley and repeats the question, Amy will use her vocal imitation superpowers to imitate Eva's voice, while Eva herself lip synchs, in hopes that they can keep up the ruse long enough to fool Donna and impress her.

They then try their plan out with Colby, Donna, and Eva as Donna asks her about some of her previous work experience. Donna is impressed by the answer Amy gives through Eva, but remarks that she doesn't like how long Eva took a pause before answering. Donna then notices Colby flying around and attempts to kill him, but Eva stops Donna from doing so, much to Donna's anger and disappointment. Donna then calls Eva weak, citing how in certain businesses and jobs, especially the cosmetic business, you have to crush your competition, and she tells Eva that she's weak for not even being willing to crush a little fly. Amy then tells Hartley she expects Eva to get angry and to argue and fight back with Donna over her criticism, but Eva actually concedes and walks away, much to Amy and Hartley's surprise.

Back at the Madden House, Clone Jake is swinging the golf balls into the chimneys of the houses in the neighborhood, and even hits someone with one of the golf balls when Robert comes by and asks him if he's ready for their patrol ride-around in his police car. Clone Jake then agrees to go with Robert as Vic comes outside with the real Jake and they notice Clone Jake riding in Robert's police car with him. Jake then panics as they realize Robert accidentally took Clone Jake with him on the ride-along.

Clone Jake and Robert are riding in his squad car with Clone Jake doing uncharacteristic things that surprises and startles Robert, like using the squad car's bullhorn to throw insults at different passers-by. Robert then stops Clone Jake and tells him not to be rude. Meanwhile at Valley View High School at the job fair, Amy and Hartley attempt to comfort Eva as she tells them that Donna calling her weak reminded her of Onyx calling her weak when he denied her of her League of Villains promotion back in Centropolis. Amy then consoles Eva and tells her not to think or look at herself as weak because she's one of the strongest role models she knows. Eva then realizes that she needs to start speaking up for herself again and find her voice as she regains her confidence back. She then goes over to Donna and says she wants one more chance to conduct an interview with her. When Donna reluctantly agrees, Eva then tells Donna everything she wanted to tell Onyx when she was part of the League of Villains, and even imagines Donna sitting in front of her as Onyx, causing Donna to be greatly confused. Eva then comes back to herself and chides Donna for calling her weak and even smears some of her own face cream on Donna's face. Hartley and Amy then rush over to Eva to calm her down before things get too ugly.

Meanwhile, in Robert's police car, Clone Jake is joking around on Robert's radio, making Robert tense and angry at him. Celia then suddenly appears in the back of Robert's police car and startles the both of them as she reveals she was lying down underneath the seats, eavesdropping, in the back of the car and wanted to surprise Robert for their one month anniversary. Robert then gets an alert from the 9-1-1 dispatch on his radio about a disturbance from Valley View High School at the job fair that Eva, Amy, and Hartley went to.

At the job fair, Eva is going on a rampage, destroying everything in the job fair and has gotten into a huge fight with Donna Plank, with them throwing face cream back and forth at each other. Robert, Celia, and Jake then arrive at the school when Eva accidentally throws a glob of face cream at Robert. When he asks who threw the face cream, Amy, Jake, Hartley, and Eva all point at Donna, and Robert then proceeds to arrest Donna for assaulting a police officer and takes her outside to his patrol car.

Clone Jake then also goes on a rampage knocking over and destroying random things in the job fair when the Real Jake and Vic sneak in and try to plan how to stop Clone Jake without everyone noticing. The Madden Family then huddle together to find a way to stop Clone Jake and shut him down so they can get him back home and get rid of him. Amy then uses her vocal manipulation powers to imitate the sound of the school fire alarm, as Hartley leads everyone out of the school. The Real Jake, Vic, Amy, and Eva then get into a massive fight with Clone Jake to try and stop him, but to no avail as he tosses the real Jake over a nearby table. Colby then flies around the Clone Jake in order to distract him so the real Jake can tackle him and knock him out.

After they finally defeat the Clone Jake, they then go back home and get rid of the clone so that things can go back to normal. Vic then apologizes to Jake for getting so jealous of him and Robert hanging out together, to which Jake says he forgives him and suggests that since they're no longer villains anymore, they should find new outlets they both enjoy to spend some father-son bonding time together. They then decide to go watch Vic vaporize Clone Jake until they realize he's escaped and took out his GPS tracker that Vic installed in him. Vic then reassures Jake they'll figure out a way to find him but that they have to do so before he causes anymore trouble or tries to come back with a revenge plot.
