### Full Plot

The episode begins with the Madden Family talking with Hartley in the living room and eating snacks together. They're talking about weird stories about how they used their powers to defeat different heroes, when Hartley asks them what happened with Colby while he didn't have his powers yet, to which they said they often just left him at home as the runt of the family.

Eva then comes in after she's had some trouble with the laundry, and Vic tells Eva that the head of the neighborhood watch, Mr. Tennyson, wants to come and visit their house since they're new to the neighborhood. Hartley warns them that Mr. Tennyson is a no-nonsense guy and that if he gets the slightest suspicion that they're up to no good, it could mean trouble.

Later that day, Colby is in his lair shape-shifting into different things and sulking because he feels bad that his power came too late before the family retired from their villainous ways. Jake and Amy watch from the steps of the lair, and say they wish they could help Colby feel better, deciding to find a way to help him get used to his powers with some mischief and feel useful to the family as a villain.

Upstairs, Hartley is helping Vic to prepare for Mr. Tennyson's arrival, while Eva is panicking that she's having a bad, frizzy hair day because of the dry heat wave in the city. Vic then decides to go build a unique humidifier machine just for the house to help her out.

At Valley View High School, Amy tells Colby they have a surprise for him waiting at the school, although he complains since its a Saturday. Jake then appears in a superhero costume and pretends to be a hero, named Captain Valor, to "fight" Colby and give him a supervillain experience. Amy then tells Colby to take all his years of frustration out on Jake and fight him, pretending he's a real hero. Amy then uses her sonic blast to knock him over one of the benches. Jake and Amy then get into a small but heated fight with their powers and almost completely forget about Colby.

Jake picks up a bench with his super strength and hurls it at Amy, but when she dodges, it misses and hits Colby, sending him flying back into an adjacent hallway with a loud crash.

When he comes to, Colby says his leg is injured and it feels like it's broken. When they decide it would be too risky to take him to a real human hospital, Amy suggests he shape-shifts into an animal so they can take him to a veterinarian to get him checked out without exposing their supervillain secret.

Back at the house, Mr. Tennyson is in the living room talking to Hartley as they're waiting for Vic and Eva to come back. Hartley nervously goes into the kitchen to check on Eva, and tells her that Mr. Tennyson just told her that he put the last people who made him suspicious behind bars. Eva tells Hartley that Vic isn't done with his humidifier machine yet so she can't go out there with her frizzy hair.

Hartley tells her to put on a hat to hide her hair, and go out there to welcome Mr. Tennyson and try not to act suspicious. Eva tries to make small talk with Mr. Tennyson as she and Hartley struggle to hide her malfunctioning powers from the dry heat wave. Vic then comes inside and greets Mr. Tennyson and then tells Eva that the humidifier/climate machine he made is now up and running.

Back at the veterinarian's office, Jake and Amy are waiting for the vet to get done with Colby who's shape-shifted into a pet turtle. The vet then comes outside and says he just has a sprained leg and that he should be able to recover within a few weeks, but to their surprise, she also tells them that the specific turtle species that he transformed into is a protected species that civilians, under Texas law, are not allowed to keep as pets. She then tells them that animal control is on their way to pick him up.

Jake and Amy then decide to see if they can sneak inside the operating room so they can steal him and escape before animal control arrives. Amy uses her voice mimicking ability to pretend to be a doctor yelling about a raccoon to distract the vet assistant. They then sneak into the operating room and hide as the vet and receptionist come into the room and hear the "turtle" (Colby) speak. They then dismiss it as hallucinations from being exhausted and leave out of the room. Jake and Amy then plot to see how they can break him out without tripping any alarms.

Back at the house, Mr. and Mrs. Madden are having trouble with the climate machine Vic made and are having trouble impressing Mr. Tennyson.

In the vet's office, Jake and Amy are trying to find ways to open the cage with Colby in it by cracking the code to it. They finally crack the code when Colby transforms back into his regular human self.

Back at the house, Vic's climate machine creates a mini-tornado within the house that destroys everything in the living room. Mr. Tennyson then goes on an angry tirade about how suspicious they've been acting and says although he may not be able to get to the bottom of it, the police will. At that moment, Colby bursts into the room and pretends that everything the climate/humidifier machine did to their house and Mr. Tennyson was just a prank to show their new neighbors how fun they are. To their surprise, Mr. Tennyson believes it and shares a good, hearty laugh with them when Colby says he's going to post the video online and make him a social media sensation.

Mr. Tennyson then leaves, and the family and Hartley congratulate Colby for helping them out, but Hartley ruins it when she says Colby acted more like a superhero than a villain for saving them all.

The episode ends with the family apologizing to Colby for them trying to give him a villain experience that didn't pan out so well. Vic and Eva then decide to give Colby his own custom supervillain uniform to match with the rest of the Mayhem family supervillain uniform suits. They then strike a supervillain family pose together, until Vic leads the family back up the stairs "to resume their normal, boring lives." Before he can go back upstairs though. Colby gets the helmet to his supervillain suit stuck on his head.
