Bot Seeks Bot.
Episode Description:
After having his identity revealed by Monstroso, The Clue Clown, a.k.a. Councilman #4, turns up dead. Spying at his funeral, O.S.I. discovers a lead on Councilman #1, a cyborg villain named Vendata, and make plans to use Captain Sunshine's old ally Ghost Robot and one of Vendata's personal ads to spy on the Council of Thirteen. At their next meeting, a new Councilman #4 is inducted, and despite the anonymity Dragoon and Red Mantle know it is Phineas Phage. When the meeting adjourns, despite the Sovereign's claim that all of them are spread across the globe, the Councilmembers all step out of their booths and decide to meet at fellow Councilman Don Hell's nightclub, but several members, including Vendata, decline to attend. Ghost Robot's undercover date with Vendata ultimately leads him to the same club, forcing Brock and Shore Leave to disguise themselves as villains to enter as well. Vendata ditches Ghost Robot at the club, leaving Brock to pick him up. Meanwhile, Rusty and Billy tail Brock, having suspected he went to a costume party, and are captured by the Guild. As they attempt to flee with Ghost Robot, Brock is first forced to attack Vendata and rip off several of his robotic parts, then turn back to try and save Rusty and Billy from a torture game, aided by Shore Leave cutting down the club's disco ball. Rusty is saved, however, when the Monarch and Dr. Mrs. the Monarch show up and invoke Guild law that only he can legally harm Rusty, with Dr. Mrs. the Monarch proving her greater knowledge of Guild law. The club empties out, leaving the Monarch and Rusty alone together, but before the Monarch can do anything the disco ball falls and seemingly kills Dr. Venture. For her service to the Guild, the Sovereign offers Dr. Mrs. the Monarch the chance to replace Vendata as Councilman #1, but she asks for more time to consider. Meanwhile, the members of the Revenge Society are watching the proceedings via a secret spy feed with Dr. Henry Killinger.
