AMY: Previously on The
Villains of Valley View
- Milo!
- You stole my accelerator belt.
- Aha!
- We will give you the helmet
if you promise
- to not tell anybody about us.
- Deal.
This is Oculon for Onyx.
I've identified Havoc and her family.
NEXT STEP: To get inside their home.
See you soon Maddens.
[EVIL LAUGH]
I'm sure you're all wondering
why I've gathered you here.
Nah. We just assume you wanna show off
another one of your
half-baked creations.
So we're just gonna smile and nod a lot
to speed things up.
Glad you know your
place in this household.
Colby, I know your last
Flashform helmet didn't work out.
"Didn't work out"?
I have a permanent ring around my neck
from where it cut off
the oxygen to my brain.
Let's be honest, how much oxygen
was really getting up there, huh?
Anyway, I made you a new one!
Why do I even need a helmet?
Because you're a newbie,
and you need the added protection.
Which is why this
helmet has X-ray vision,
Force field Activation,
and this right here
[LOUD BEEPING]
is your back-up cam!
Got one of those for Mom's car?
[SCOFFS] You back into
three hot dog stands,
and suddenly, you're a bad driver!
I just need to transfer
the Teleportation Module
from the old helmet to this new one.
See, if you're ever in trouble,
just push the button,
it'll teleport you back to the lair.
Hold up. Uh, so, anyone
wearing that helmet
can just push that button
and end up in the lair?
Yep. And why are you asking questions?
Shouldn't you be smiling and nodding?
Colby, go grab the old helmet.
I'll get the tools
ready for the transfer.
What are we gonna do? We
gave Colby's old helmet
to that kid Milo so he wouldn't
tell anyone about the lair.
Wait. So you gave the Flashform helmet
to the quirky kid at
school? And at any moment,
he could teleport into our lair?
Oh, that's delightful! [LAUGHS]
I never told your
father, because he'd freak
if he knew Milo had been in the lair.
OK, well, he's gonna be back any minute.
What are we gonna tell him?
I will stall your father.
You two go find Milo
and get that helmet back!
Well, aren't you gonna help?
Nope!
[EVIL MUSIC STING]
Go for Oculon.
You've kept me waiting long enough.
Did you find Havoc
and her family or not?
I'm telling you, Onyx, I'm pretty sure
this family I'm tracking is them.
I don't have time for "pretty sure"!
Find proof now, or
you'll be brought back
to Centropolis to face the consequences!
Do I make myself clear? [EXCLAIMS]
Crystal clear. I'll get in that house
and find all the proof you need.
I won't let you down.
[THEME SONG PLAYING]
We gotta get my helmet back.
How do we find that Milo kid?
Oh, just follow the
world's most annoying voice.
MILO: Gather round, my peeps!
[GROANS] What did I tell ya?
Behold, the newest addition
to Milo's magnificent superhero
memorabilia collection:
Blue Boulder's underpants!
Come on! They're special,
'cause they're used!
Hey, Milo, is this a bad time?
If it is, I don't care.
We're talking anyway.
You! The cause of all my suffering!
Yeah. It's kinda my thing.
We need Flashform's helmet back.
That cursed helmet is
what I'm talking about!
You said Flashform was
gonna be a huge supervillain,
and I showed it to everyone!
But he never emerged,
and now they all think I'm a joke!
Oh. Milo, don't be so hard on yourself.
You know, I'm pretty sure
they were thinking that before.
No one will hook me up
with the good stuff anymore.
And I'm back to being a social outcast.
All because Flashform is
too lame to show himself.
Well, if he even exists.
Oh, he definitely exists!
And he's the most dangerous
supervillain around!
Uh, no, Milo, i it's
true. Flashform is lame.
You know, I heard he
quit being a supervillain
because he got an
"ouchie" from a mall cop.
So you should have no problem
giving us that helmet back.
- It's yours.
- Sweet!
For $1800.
- Not sweet.
- But
[SIGHS] You just said Flashform's a dud.
No one would even want it.
True. But you want it.
- And I am a businessman.
- [SIGHS]
So let me know when you're
ready to talk turkey.
Oh, we're ready. Unless
turkey means money,
we don't have any of that.
Well then, I think we're done here.
And don't even try to steal the helmet.
My new Doberman, Shotzee,
doesn't play around.
Except when I rub her belly. [LAUGHS]
Then she's real silly!
But not with intruders!
Well, I can't imagine why people
don't want to spend time with him.
- Where's Colby?
- Mm?
School ended an hour ago,
I told him I needed his
old Flashform helmet.
Oh, honey, that's on you.
You know none of us
listen when you talk.
Mom. Dad. Celia wants to talk
to you. It sounds important.
Well, quick! Close the door!
Tell her we're not home!
Too late, I've breached the entrance.
I tried to stop her, but
she hurdled a rosebush.
Do you know what this is?
A letter from your
prison pen pal in Uruguay?
It's the electricity bill.
Your electricity bill.
Which I pay for.
And you want me to thank you?
No, I want you to
explain why it's so high.
I haven't seen this many
zeroes in one place since
right now.
It can't be that high. [CHUCKLES]
Oh, it is that high!
[CLEARS THROAT] It is
obviously your villain lair.
Oh
Uh Grandma,
I'm sure the power
company made a mistake.
I mean, that bill is astronomical.
Right, Jake?
Yeah. Yeah. There's
no way a normal family
could use that much
power. And we're normal.
So they must be wrong.
Back to you, Hartley.
OK, Celia, I'll call the power company.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
You better. Or else
I'm gonna call them to investigate
what's sucking up all
that energy. And trust me,
you don't want a meter-reader
reading more than your meters.
- What do we do?
- According to this,
the power company has a
"Green Energy" rebate program!
They'll refund half the bill if
we show we're conserving energy.
Great. We just have
to come up with a plan
to save energy and keep the bill low,
and then Celia never
finds out about the lair.
[CELIA YELPS]
[GASPS] I better go help her.
Looks like the rosebush won this round.
MILO: That's right. From in here,
I know exactly what it's
like to be Flashform.
Milo, why are you wearing that helmet?
That's cute. Acting like
you don't know Flashform
revealed himself for the
first time last night.
- What?
- Yeah!
He sent out a video, and
it instantly went viral!
Check it out!
I am Flashform!
Watch as I go from nothing
to something!
Flashform can rock any form.
From flex
to T-rex!
[ROARS]
A bubbling barrel of
flesh-eating slime?
Psh! That's nothing for Flashform!
Oh, no
Oh, yeah!
Which power was your
favorite? Mine was all of 'em.
You were right! Flashform is amazing.
And because you gave me this helmet,
I got all my cred back!
I'm never giving this thing up!
I know you're mad,
but did you see the part
where I was the dinosaur?
What were you thinking
making that video?
Look, you don't get it. You're
all established villains,
and I'm not. So when
Milo said I was lame,
I had to do something,
or I'd look like a loser.
OK, I understand,
but now that everyone
thinks Flashform's amazing,
Milo's never gonna give
us that helmet back!
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
See you here after next period
when you can all marvel again
at Flashform's amazing
And you're gone.
Uh, wow. Milo, this
whole Flashform thing's
really working out for ya.
Now I know why you
wanted the helmet so bad.
So people would follow you
like they're following me.
Well, too late. They love me.
And I love them loving me!
Uh, actually, it wasn't us
who wanted the helmet back.
It was Flashform himself.
Yeah, right. Like you know
an actual supervillain.
[CHUCKLES] Well, how else do
you think we got the helmet?
It didn't just fall from the sky.
- Flashform doesn't fly.
- At least, not yet.
He's gonna fly into that wall
if he doesn't stop talking.
Well, you clearly have
an inside connection.
Tell you what, I'll give
Flashform the helmet back.
- [SIGHS]
- If he comes here to pick it up himself.
What? Wh He's not just
gonna come to our school,
like some toy
for show-and-tell.
Yeah, the dude's a beast.
At least he looked
like it in that video.
Can we watch it again?
But I'm sure we can get him
to meet you somewhere more private.
What does that do for me?
Only thing better than
having Flashform's helmet,
is having him beg me for it
in front of everyone.
Then there'd be no doubt
that I'm the coolest guy in school.
Yeah, I don't know if that's the best
- Deal.
- What?
Flashform will be here after school.
Then so shall I be!
You wanted to be a villain.
Don't get shy on me now.
Any luck with the electric bill?
My grandma's pretty upset.
I've been transferring my
power into these battery packs
all afternoon. We still
haven't stored enough power
to knock any money off the bill.
I'm all zapped out! [GROANS]
Wow. All those battles with superheroes,
and it's a utility bill
that took my mom down.
[ALL] Whoa!
What?
That. Just that.
What is with the get-up?
Don't we have enough
to be embarrassed about?
Eva, you're off the hook.
I found a faster way
for us to store energy!
Just tell me when it's
safe to turn around.
What's all this?
It's our very own spin class!
Aw, honey, you're getting older.
An extra pound here
or there is expected.
People can pedal the bikes.
The energy they create
will be stored in battery packs!
The more classes we have,
the more power we'll save!
Dad, that's genius!
Don't you think I know that?
Jake, we've been over this.
Saying it out loud only makes him worse.
The best part is we can charge
people to take the classes!
Not only will they be saving us money,
they'll be giving us their money!
Declan?
Hartley! Hey!
What are you doing here?
Normally, I'd be creeped
out by someone in the bushes,
but you pull it off.
I was looking for you.
And here you are. Good timing!
- What's with all the bikes?
- Oh!
The Maddens are holding spin
classes for the neighbors.
[GASPS] Maybe you can
be their first rider!
And I'm definitely not saying that
because I want to see
your amazing athleticism
in action. Heh. Heh. Heh.
Uh, sure. I'd love to help out.
[GASPS] Yay! We got our first spinner!
Splendid! That'll be $49.99.
It autobills monthly. And daily.
Glad to have you aboard,
Dec. Every spin class
needs a couple of buff dudes
to keep everyone motivated.
Great! Who else is coming?
COLBY: I don't know about this, Amy.
Usually, I'm all for
wearing my villain suit,
you know, since I never
got to be a villain
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't think
I RSVP'd to this pity party.
What's your point?
I just don't think it's a good idea
to be Flashform at school.
Why? No one knows it's
you. Plus, school's over.
There's probably not even
that many people here.
[EXCITED CLAMORING]
Well, it's a good
thing I said "probably,"
or this would be very embarrassing.
Well, well, well, you finally showed up.
Yes. I've traveled a
great distance to be here.
Like, way more than a
couple of miles, for sure.
So now you can just give me the helmet.
Not so fast. You got game, Flashform,
But like tee ball coach used to tell me:
You're playing for the wrong team, kid!
Team? What are you talking about?
You're Team Supervillain,
and I've always been
on Team Superhero,
which makes you my enemy!
Wait, what?
[NERVOUS CHUCKLE] Enemy?
Then what was that whole thing
about you wanting him to come to school
so you could be popular?
[LAUGHS] Oh, I'm gonna be popular
when I destroy Flashform
in the name of superheroes everywhere!
[ALL CHEER]
This is not how I
pictured my villain debut.
Oh, yeah. No, I should have warned you.
People kind of hate us.
This is for the superheroes!
For the people of Texas!
And for all those who came before me!
[ALL CHEER]
OK! Tone it down, drama club.
Now would be a good time to use
that invisibility power of yours.
No way! The whole
reason I made that video
was to prove that Flashform isn't weak.
If I just turn invisible and run away,
that's exactly what they're gonna think.
Putting ego over common sense.
You are Dad's son.
Besides, he can't hurt
me. I can regenerate.
Good thing I brought my
anti-regeneration phaser.
On second thought, if
I've got invisibility,
I might as well use it!
Cool! He's using his invisibility!
Uh, I mean, whatever. It's OK.
C'mon, I'll track him down!
I'm gonna destroy this punk!
[ALL CHEERING]
[GASPS]
C'mon, let's get out of here!
No way. We've come too far.
We're getting that helmet back.
I've got a plan.
Welcome to Spinners and Losers!
I'm Vic, creator of the Vic-Cycle.
This meter measures the
class's collective energy.
So pedal hard and get
it above the red line!
What if we don't?
Then we'll lock you in your spin shoes,
and we won't let you leave until you do.
Let's kick it up!
How much more up could
we possibly kick it?
[BREATHING HEAVILY] Do you
at least have any fun music?
No, that would take energy!
Just ride to the beat
- of Jake's nose whistle!
- [NOSE WHISTLING]
You can hear that?
I thought my wheel needed to be oiled.
Can you show me where the bathroom is?
Oh. [SIGHS]
Sure, any excuse to
get off of this thing.
The battery level is barely rising!
Why is the Tour de
France in my front yard?
We just invited some neighbors
by to get fit with us!
I didn't get an invite.
Did you want to get an invite?
I wanted to reject an invite.
Now, get these sweat sacks off my lawn!
I'm having a bad day!
Let's be honest, Ceals,
have you ever had a good day?
Have you ever regretted
saying something?
Dad! For once, Celia's bad day
might actually work in our favor.
I bet these riders would pedal
much harder if their "spin instructor"
directed all her rage at them!
I like it. Why ruin our day,
when we can ruin our neighbors' day?
Not exactly what I meant
Celia, how'd you like to
be our new spin instructor?
I don't even know how to spin!
But you do know how to yell at people.
Mic me.
OK, everyone, close your eyes.
Now, imagine an open road.
Now, imagine me
barreling up behind you
with two gas pedals and
the wrong pair of glasses!
Faster! Faster! Out of those seats!
Honk honk, roadkill!
You wanna be street meat?
I don't see any sweat!
Pedal! Medal! Pedal!
Bathroom's right through there.
Thanks.
Hey, would you mind
grabbing me some water?
Oh, no problem.
[SINISTER MUSIC]
Well, I guess I scared Flashform away,
so victory is mine!
[ALL CHEER]
And now, I'll treat you all
to a celebratory cup of vegan fro-yo!
OK, I know what you're
thinking, but trust me.
If you pinch your nose,
the eggplant tastes just like chocolate.
Yeah. I got news for you, Milo.
Just because you can't see Flashform
doesn't mean he ran away.
He just strikes when
you least expect it.
Oh. You mean like this?
Oh. Hello.
Seriously? What do you have,
a superhero device for everything?
Pretty much.
This is how Blue Boulder
beat the Invisible Giant.
I recommend watching my
deep-dive analysis video
when you have five hours to spare.
You canbreak it up,
but it's better to just binge it.
- What do I do?
- Beats me.
Every part of my plan
involved you being invisible.
Any time you want to bring
something to the table,
be my guest.
Aah! It's a stun ray! I can't move!
[IMPRESSED MURMURING]
Well, see, told you.
The time has come!
Before I destroy this
wretched supervillain,
I'm going to do the obvious.
What, tinkle in your superhero undies?
Unmask him!
That's right!
Not only am I not giving
his old helmet back,
- I'm taking his new one, too!
- Uh-oh.
Prepare to be unmasked, villain!
Guess that leaves me no choice.
[LOW, DULL RUMBLE]
[GASPS]
What's going on?
[SCARED MURMURING]
[ALL SCREAMING]
Give me the helmet!
Uh Uh Never! [WHIMPERS]
[EXCLAIMS]
[WHIMPERING]
You have kinetic manipulation?
Another new power? Oh, come on!
Helmet, now!
OK, OK, take it! It's yours!
Hide your hero!
Nice job. I know I don't
say this a lot, but
I'm happy you didn't die.
Check this out.
[ALL GASP, APPLAUDING]
Thank you, thank you.
Be sure to follow my socials.
[EXCITED CHATTER]
Can I at least have my backpack back?
Well, I was gonna rub
the loss in your face,
but you're kind of making me feel bad.
How dare you rob me
of that joy! [SCOFFS]
I only did this to look cool.
I figured if I took down a supervillain,
everyone would like me.
Milo [SIGHS]
People should like you
because of who you are.
Not because of what you have
or because you took down a supervillain.
I mean, if that's the only reason
they want to hang out with you,
they're not really your friends.
Yeah. I'm not good at the friend thing.
Dad says I'm an "acquired taste."
Well, he's not wrong.
But I'm also an acquired taste.
You know, when I first moved here,
I didn't have any friends, either.
I could see that.
When I let my guard down and
then gave people a chance,
it worked.
You just need to be yourself.
No memorabilia, no weapons.
Although, that thing is impressive,
and I will be borrowing it!
No problem.
I'd be happy to lend it to a friend?
And this friend would
be happy to take it.
But I can't promise I'll give it back.
Wow, Colby! That was impressive.
Not only did you get
the old helmet back,
but you showed everyone that Flashform
is not someone to be messed with.
Yeah, it was so cool to
actually be a villain.
Even if it was just for a day.
Plus, now I know I can do this!
Yeah, that's gonna get old real quick.
Come on, let's go tell
Dad we got the helmet.
You should consider keeping those bikes
on the front lawn all the time.
Something about belittling people
just makes me feel alive!
Glad we could help.
Oh, and by the way, good news,
I called the power company,
they're gonna cut 50
percent off the bill.
Yep, that's a savings of
Wait a second. Celia,
the high electricity usage
didn't come from our house.
It came from yours.
Huh, you're right.
Y'all take care!
[LAUGHS] Wait!
What exactly is going on at your place?
Do you pay my power bill?
- No.
- Then you don't need to know.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- So we went through all that work
to hold spin classes for nothing?
I wouldn't say nothing.
We got all the neighbors'
credit card numbers!
Hey, have you seen Declan?
I can't find him anywhere.
I thought he was with you.
Come on, there has to be some
kind of proof around here.
What is this thing?
[GASPS]
Whoa.
[EVIL LAUGH]
This is Oculon for Onyx.
I have all the proof you need.
We got 'em.
Villains of Valley View
- Milo!
- You stole my accelerator belt.
- Aha!
- We will give you the helmet
if you promise

just push the button,
it'll teleport you back to the lair.

They'll refund half the bill if
we show we're conserving energy.
Great. We just have
to come up with a plan
to save energy and keep the bill low,
and then Celia never
finds out about the lair.
[CELIA YELPS]
[GASPS] I better go help her.
Looks like the rosebush won this round.
MILO: That's right. From in here,
I know exactly what it's
like to be Flashform.
Milo, why are you wearing that helmet?
That's cute. Acting like
you don't know Flashform
revealed himself for the
first time last night.
- What?
- Yeah!
He sent out a video, and
it instantly went viral!
Check it out!
I am Flashform!
Watch as I go from nothing
to something!
Flashform can rock any form.
From flex
to T-rex!
[ROARS]
A bubbling barrel of
flesh-eating slime?
Psh! That's nothing for Flashform!
Oh, no
Oh, yeah!
Which power was your
favorite? Mine was all of 'em.
You were right! Flashform is amazing.
And because you gave me this helmet,
I got all my cred back!
I'm never giving this thing up!
I know you're mad,
but did you see the part
where I was the dinosaur?
What were you thinking
making that video?
Look, you don't get it. You're
all established villains,
and I'm not. So when
Milo said I was lame,
I had to do something,
or I'd look like a loser.
OK, I understand,
but now that everyone
thinks Flashform's amazing,
Milo's never gonna give
us that helmet back!
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
See you here after next period
when you can all marvel again
at Flashform's amazing
And you're gone.
Uh, wow. Milo, this
whole Flashform thing's
really working out for ya.
Now I know why you
wanted the helmet so bad.
So people would follow you
like they're following me.
Well, too late. They love me.
And I love them loving me!
Uh, actually, it wasn't us
who wanted the helmet back.
It was Flashform himself.
Yeah, right. Like you know
an actual supervillain.
[CHUCKLES] Well, how else do
you think we got the helmet?
It didn't just fall from the sky.
- Flashform doesn't fly.
- At least, not yet.
He's gonna fly into that wall
if he doesn't stop talking.
Well, you clearly have
an inside connection.
Tell you what, I'll give
Flashform the helmet back.
- [SIGHS]
- If he comes here to pick it up himself.
What? Wh He's not just
gonna come to our school,
like some toy
for show-and-tell.
Yeah, the dude's a beast.
At least he looked
like it in that video.
Can we watch it again?
But I'm sure we can get him
to meet you somewhere more private.
What does that do for me?
Only thing better than
having Flashform's helmet,
is having him beg me for it
in front of everyone.
Then there'd be no doubt
that I'm the coolest guy in school.
Yeah, I don't know if that's the best
- Deal.
- What?
Flashform will be here after school.
Then so shall I be!
You wanted to be a villain.
Don't get shy on me now.
Any luck with the electric bill?
My grandma's pretty upset.
I've been transferring my
power into these battery packs
all afternoon. We still
haven't stored enough power
to knock any money off the bill.
I'm all zapped out! [GROANS]
Wow. All those battles with superheroes,
and it's a utility bill
that took my mom down.
[ALL] Whoa!
What?
That. Just that.
What is with the get-up?
Don't we have enough
to be embarrassed about?
Eva, you're off the hook.
I found a faster way
for us to store energy!
Just tell me when it's
safe to turn around.
What's all this?
It's our very own spin class!
Aw, honey, you're getting older.
An extra pound here
or there is expected.
People can pedal the bikes.
The energy they create
will be stored in battery packs!
The more classes we have,
the more power we'll save!
Dad, that's genius!
Don't you think I know that?
Jake, we've been over this.
Saying it out loud only makes him worse.
The best part is we can charge
people to take the classes!
Not only will they be saving us money,
they'll be giving us their money!
Declan?
Hartley! Hey!
What are you doing here?
Normally, I'd be creeped
out by someone in the bushes,
but you pull it off.
I was looking for you.
And here you are. Good timing!
- What's with all the bikes?
- Oh!
The Maddens are holding spin
classes for the neighbors.
[GASPS] Maybe you can
be their first rider!
And I'm definitely not saying that
because I want to see
your amazing athleticism
in action. Heh. Heh. Heh.
Uh, sure. I'd love to help out.
[GASPS] Yay! We got our first spinner!
Splendid! That'll be $49.99.
It autobills monthly. And daily.
Glad to have you aboard,
Dec. Every spin class
needs a couple of buff dudes
to keep everyone motivated.
Great! Who else is coming?
COLBY: I don't know about this, Amy.
Usually, I'm all for
wearing my villain suit,
you know, since I never
got to be a villain
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't think
I RSVP'd to this pity party.
What's your point?
I just don't think it's a good idea
to be Flashform at school.
Why? No one knows it's
you. Plus, school's over.
There's probably not even
that many people here.
[EXCITED CLAMORING]
Well, it's a good
thing I said "probably,"
or this would be very embarrassing.
Well, well, well, you finally showed up.
Yes. I've traveled a
great distance to be here.
Like, way more than a
couple of miles, for sure.
So now you can just give me the helmet.
Not so fast. You got game, Flashform,
But like tee ball coach used to tell me:
You're playing for the wrong team, kid!
Team? What are you talking about?
You're Team Supervillain,
and I've always been
on Team Superhero,
which makes you my enemy!
Wait, what?
[NERVOUS CHUCKLE] Enemy?
Then what was that whole thing
about you wanting him to come to school
so you could be popular?
[LAUGHS] Oh, I'm gonna be popular
when I destroy Flashform
in the name of superheroes everywhere!
[ALL CHEER]
This is not how I
pictured my villain debut.
Oh, yeah. No, I should have warned you.
People kind of hate us.
This is for the superheroes!
For the people of Texas!
And for all those who came before me!
[ALL CHEER]
OK! Tone it down, drama club.
Now would be a good time to use
that invisibility power of yours.
No way! The whole
reason I made that video
was to prove that Flashform isn't weak.
If I just turn invisible and run away,
that's exactly what they're gonna think.
Putting ego over common sense.
You are Dad's son.
Besides, he can't hurt
me. I can regenerate.
Good thing I brought my
anti-regeneration phaser.
On second thought, if
I've got invisibility,
I might as well use it!
Cool! He's using his invisibility!
Uh, I mean, whatever. It's OK.
C'mon, I'll track him down!
I'm gonna destroy this punk!
[ALL CHEERING]
[GASPS]
C'mon, let's get out of here!
No way. We've come too far.
We're getting that helmet back.
I've got a plan.
Welcome to Spinners and Losers!
I'm Vic, creator of the Vic-Cycle.
This meter measures the
class's collective energy.
So pedal hard and get
it above the red line!
What if we don't?
Then we'll lock you in your spin shoes,
and we won't let you leave until you do.
Let's kick it up!
How much more up could
we possibly kick it?
[BREATHING HEAVILY] Do you
at least have any fun music?
No, that would take energy!
Just ride to the beat
- of Jake's nose whistle!
- [NOSE WHISTLING]
You can hear that?
I thought my wheel needed to be oiled.
Can you show me where the bathroom is?
Oh. [SIGHS]
Sure, any excuse to
get off of this thing.
The battery level is barely rising!
Why is the Tour de
France in my front yard?
We just invited some neighbors
by to get fit with us!
I didn't get an invite.
Did you want to get an invite?
I wanted to reject an invite.
Now, get these sweat sacks off my lawn!
I'm having a bad day!
Let's be honest, Ceals,
have you ever had a good day?
Have you ever regretted
saying something?
Dad! For once, Celia's bad day
might actually work in our favor.
I bet these riders would pedal
much harder if their "spin instructor"
directed all her rage at them!
I like it. Why ruin our day,
when we can ruin our neighbors' day?
Not exactly what I meant
Celia, how'd you like to
be our new spin instructor?
I don't even know how to spin!
But you do know how to yell at people.
Mic me.
OK, everyone, close your eyes.
Now, imagine an open road.
Now, imagine me
barreling up behind you
with two gas pedals and
the wrong pair of glasses!
Faster! Faster! Out of those seats!
Honk honk, roadkill!
You wanna be street meat?
I don't see any sweat!
Pedal! Medal! Pedal!
Bathroom's right through there.
Thanks.
Hey, would you mind
grabbing me some water?
Oh, no problem.
[SINISTER MUSIC]
Well, I guess I scared Flashform away,
so victory is mine!
[ALL CHEER]
And now, I'll treat you all
to a celebratory cup of vegan fro-yo!
OK, I know what you're
thinking, but trust me.
If you pinch your nose,
the eggplant tastes just like chocolate.
Yeah. I got news for you, Milo.
Just because you can't see Flashform
doesn't mean he ran away.
He just strikes when
you least expect it.
Oh. You mean like this?
Oh. Hello.
Seriously? What do you have,
a superhero device for everything?
Pretty much.
This is how Blue Boulder
beat the Invisible Giant.
I recommend watching my
deep-dive analysis video
when you have five hours to spare.
You canbreak it up,
but it's better to just binge it.
- What do I do?
- Beats me.
Every part of my plan
involved you being invisible.
Any time you want to bring
something to the table,
be my guest.
Aah! It's a stun ray! I can't move!
[IMPRESSED MURMURING]
Well, see, told you.
The time has come!
Before I destroy this
wretched supervillain,
I'm going to do the obvious.
What, tinkle in your superhero undies?
Unmask him!
That's right!
Not only am I not giving
his old helmet back,
- I'm taking his new one, too!
- Uh-oh.
Prepare to be unmasked, villain!
Guess that leaves me no choice.
[LOW, DULL RUMBLE]
[GASPS]
What's going on?
[SCARED MURMURING]
[ALL SCREAMING]
Give me the helmet!
Uh Uh Never! [WHIMPERS]
[EXCLAIMS]
[WHIMPERING]
You have kinetic manipulation?
Another new power? Oh, come on!
Helmet, now!
OK, OK, take it! It's yours!
Hide your hero!
Nice job. I know I don't
say this a lot, but
I'm happy you didn't die.
Check this out.
[ALL GASP, APPLAUDING]
Thank you, thank you.
Be sure to follow my socials.
[EXCITED CHATTER]
Can I at least have my backpack back?
Well, I was gonna rub
the loss in your face,
but you're kind of making me feel bad.
How dare you rob me
of that joy! [SCOFFS]
I only did this to look cool.
I figured if I took down a supervillain,
everyone would like me.
Milo [SIGHS]
People should like you
because of who you are.
Not because of what you have
or because you took down a supervillain.
I mean, if that's the only reason
they want to hang out with you,
they're not really your friends.
Yeah. I'm not good at the friend thing.
Dad says I'm an "acquired taste."
Well, he's not wrong.
But I'm also an acquired taste.
You know, when I first moved here,
I didn't have any friends, either.
I could see that.
When I let my guard down and
then gave people a chance,
it worked.
You just need to be yourself.
No memorabilia, no weapons.
Although, that thing is impressive,
and I will be borrowing it!
No problem.
I'd be happy to lend it to a friend?
And this friend would
be happy to take it.
But I can't promise I'll give it back.
Wow, Colby! That was impressive.
Not only did you get
the old helmet back,
but you showed everyone that Flashform
is not someone to be messed with.
Yeah, it was so cool to
actually be a villain.
Even if it was just for a day.
Plus, now I know I can do this!
Yeah, that's gonna get old real quick.
Come on, let's go tell
Dad we got the helmet.
You should consider keeping those bikes
on the front lawn all the time.
Something about belittling people
just makes me feel alive!
Glad we could help.
Oh, and by the way, good news,
I called the power company,
they're gonna cut 50
percent off the bill.
Yep, that's a savings of
Wait a second. Celia,
the high electricity usage
didn't come from our house.
It came from yours.
Huh, you're right.
Y'all take care!
[LAUGHS] Wait!
What exactly is going on at your place?
Do you pay my power bill?
- No.
- Then you don't need to know.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- So we went through all that work
to hold spin classes for nothing?
I wouldn't say nothing.
We got all the neighbors'
credit card numbers!
Hey, have you seen Declan?
I can't find him anywhere.
I thought he was with you.
Come on, there has to be some
kind of proof around here.
What is this thing?
[GASPS]
Whoa.
[EVIL LAUGH]
This is Oculon for Onyx.
I have all the proof you need.
We got 'em.
