Henchman 21 is cleaning the car in the Morpho Cave. Monarch comes in and says that Dr. Mrs. the Wise was on the phone. The Guild are in sequester so they can go after their next victim. Henchman 21 complains that Wandering Spider was too much, and points out that Red Death is next. Red Death arches once a year and leaves a body count, but Monarch insists that he's a pushover. Henchman 21 isn't convinced and Monarch says that he'll deal with Red Death alone.

In the park, Dr. Mrs. the Wife meets Colonel Hunter Gather in privately. They agree that the OSI will help the Guild with their sting. Brock is on the bench nearby and makes sure that both the Guild will guarantee the Ventures' safety. Dr. Mrs. the Wife tells them that Blue Morpho's next target is Red Death.

At Venture Tower, the guild comes in and ignores Hatred's objections. The OSI arrive next and Brock tells Hatred to take the rest of the day off.

Henchman 21 is eating when Monarch comes back. Monarch explains that he was talking to Red Death and discovered that he's the sweetest man in the world and terrifying.

At the penthouse, Rusty makes small talk with Dr. Mrs. the Girlfriend and suggests that she's drawn to him. She isn't, and they begin their operation. Snoopy is tracking their bait, Red Death, in Long Island. Phantom Limb isn't happy that the OSI is tracking Guild members, and prepares to kill Snoopy until Hunter draws a gun on him. Dr. Mrs. the Wife reminds Phantom Limb that they're all there to take down Blue Morpho.

At Rose's house, Rusty entertains the guests with stories of how he lost a kidney to one of Action Man's pranks when he was 8. Colonel Gentleman insists that Action Man killed a baby once, and Action Man insists that it was a werewolf.

The Guild agents set up around the tower and prepare to shoot. Red Death arrives and blasts the pool, and Brock comes out with Watch and Ward, as well as Hunter disguised as Rusty. It turns out the villain is using live rounds, and Brock tackles him into the pool.

The first prisoner thinks that the other prisoner is familiar and is sure that he met him before. He tricks the second prisoner into heating up his coffee with an energy blast, revealing that he's the villainous Maestro Wave, and explains that he's also a super villain: the Termite. However, he can't tunnel out without his helmet.

Watch and Ward are discussing the plan with Red Death when Monarch calls. He disguises his voice and tells Red Death to sign away his arching rights to Rusty to get back his wife and daughter.

Monarch apologizes and hangs up, and Henchman 21 reminds his boss that they don't have the family to release.

Colonel Gentleman tells Rusty about how Jonas collected friends. Blue Morpho was one of his friends, and Billy suggests that the new Blue Morpho is someone with someone to prove.

Monarch tells Red Death that he's nothing without his hate for Rusty. Red Death admits that it's the rules that let them hate and kill, and explains that he killed his mortal enemy and slaughtered the man's family. He tells Monarch to finish his task and then change his way. Henchman 21 wonders why he never feels sad about killing, and Red Dwarf points out that he's killed dozens of villains. Sheepish, Henchman 21 says that he has to show them something.

Meastro Wave is eating corpses when Henchman 21 brings in Monarch and Red Dwarf. Shocked, Henchman 21 insists that they weren't supposed to kill each other. Red Skull is impressed, and offers to solve their problem while dealing with his own. He goes in to kill the remaining prisoner, and Monarch complains that Henchman 21 didn't tell him that there was a completed bathroom in the basement.

The next day, the OSI and Guild snipers wonder how they will recognize one another if they meet again. The OSI sniper reveals that she's a woman, and the Guild sniper reveals that he had the top of his skull removed and plastic tubes coming out of it.
