Synopsis
When we last left our heroes, the Kid realized that Mr. Zachary was in reality Professor Z, bent on using the power of the gem to make the world boring! Meanwhile, Libby challenges Mom over her banning the Kid from reading Breathtaking Tales, reminding her that one person’s trash may be another’s treasure. As Mom makes dinner, the Kid arrives with the Gem of Zavvenu and uses its power to give Libby her memories back! Reassuming her previous form as the Lady in Black, Libby and the Kid track down the rest of the Danger Squad – Dawn, Sal, Jessie, and Bob – and use the gem’s power to remind them who they really are: Doc Danger, Satellite Sally, Jesai of the Jaguars, and Robert von Hesslington. The sole exception is Clare de Lune (aka Clara Leonard), whom the Beetle Queen has forced into servitude on the her tropical island.
The Squad tracks down the Matter Phase Modulator to the Channel Z ad agency’s off-limits Level 13, where Sally and Robert reprogram it to return reality to the way it was before it was made boring. When the villains arrive, our heroes are ready, and subdue them with the aid of Satellite Sally’s hog-tying skills! But Professor Z has one final trick up his sleeve: his beloved robot MC-7 arrives, detains the Squad, and frees Z from his restraints. The tables turned, the Professor double-crosses Penny and the Beetle Queen, and recalibrates the Modulator to create a reality where he alone rules. But just when all seems lost, Clare appears out of nowhere and socks the Professor in the face, knocking him out cold! With Professor Z laid low once and for all, Doc Danger places the Gem of Zavvenu in the Modulator and returns everyone to their colorful, complicated, more authentic selves.
