Plot Overview

Xander Crews gets a ride with the LARP geeks to his mansion in order to get his guns, but he discovers that the hooker he paid off bought his mansion from Stan. In addition, Stan has taken the Awesome-X costume and equipment for himself. With nowhere else to go, Xander turns to Grace Ryan for help, but Antagone is the one who greets him at her door. After Antagone takes out the nerd posse, Xander jumps into the nerds' car and escapes.

The newly blind Killface is forced to go out on his own when no one bothers to help him out. He struggles with day to day tasks like buying food, all the while Stan plots to kill him lest he destroys the world while his life is on an upswing. While trying to cross the street, the blind Killface is rammed by Xander, who is distraught over losing everything. When he comes to, Xander introduces himself as Barnaby Jones and blames the hit-and-run on a plateless gang car. Killface thanks Barnaby for his help and invites him back to his apartment.

Meanwhile, the Xtacles have a meeting. The focus of that meeting? Don't take off your robot pants when holding a hostile prisoner. Also, Watley is released into the ocean after being chased down by an aquatic research team.

Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Crews Company: Stan has assumed total control of both the Crews Company and the Awesome-X identity. He's also working on getting a date with Grace Ryan and trying to kill off Killface before he can destroy the world.

Characters

• Watley: Watley disappears into the ocean after most of his body turns into a lobster.

Referbacks

• 1x02 - Meet Awesome-X: Xander was with a hooker when he was nearly caught by his girlfriend Grace Ryan, but managed to keep her from finding out by putting on his Awesome-X mask. Because the hooker knew his secret identity, he paid her a blackmail of $5 million.

Trivia

The Show

• Broken Window: Inside the Crews Company headquarters, the circular piece of window that Watley cut out in "Kidnapped!" has been fixed by duct taping it back in place.

Allusions and References

• Lions Club: After tripping over his furniture, Killface resigns himself to the idea of just living at the Lions Club. Lions Club International is the world's largest service club organization. The Lions Club is recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually impaired. This service began when Helen Keller addressed the International Convention at Cedar Point, Ohio on June 30, 1925 and charged Lions to be "Knights to the Blind."

• Patty Hearst: Grace Ryan worries that she could go to jail "like Patty Hearst, only with ants." Patty Hearst is the daughter of a publishing magnate who gained notoriety in 1974 when she developed Stockholm syndrome after being kidnapped by an American terrorist group. She was apprehended and imprisoned after being photographed participating in a bank robbery by the terrorist group. Grace Ryan's alter ego, Antagone, was filmed participating in a jewelry store robbery with an army of ants.

Grace: Just like Patty Hearst, only with ants!

• Elrond: One of the LARP geeks exclaims "Runes of Elrond!" Elrond is a character who appears throughout J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings series of books. He is a half-elf who leads the council which decides that the one ring must be destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom before Sauron's forces destroy everything in order to recover it.

• Halfling: When confronted by Antagone, one of the LARP geeks exclaims that he's a halfling and relies on stealth. Halflings are Dungeons & Dragons characters who are basically identical to J.R.R. Tolkien's hobbits in that they are both about half the average height of humans.

• Bubba Kush: After being hit by what he believes was a plate-less gang car, Killface mentions "bubba kush." Bubba kush is a rarely used slang term for marijuana.

• Barnaby Jones: Xander uses the alias "Barnaby Jones" after running down Killface to use his home. Barnaby Jones was a CBS detective series that ran from 1973 to 1980.
