The Monarch continues to rebuild his villainous empire with the aid of his shadowy new Number 2, Dr. Henry Killinger, but Henchman 21 is suspicious of the deadly foreigner's unctuous charms. Meanwhile, as Dr. Orpheus attempts to exorcise a Japanese demon from Dr. Venture, a mysterious woman from Doc's past resurfaces. And she'd kill to find out where Hank and Dean are.

If you see only one episode of The Venture Bros. this season, make it this one and the one after it. The Monarch finally (for like the fourth time) has Team Venture in his clutches, the one time he doesn't want them--smack dab in the middle of the social event of the supervillain season. The stage is set for a deadly, ultimate showdown between The Monarch and Phantom Limb for the hand of Dr. Girlfriend.

The premiere episode finds Team Venture and friends struggling to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and move on in the wake of Hank and Dean's violent and untimely deaths. While Doc searches for his soul in the far corners of the globe, Dr. Orpheus wallows in guilt, and a mullet-less Brock repairs his beloved Charger, The Monarch plots a daring prison break with the help of his fellow supervillainous inmates.

Continuing the time-bending, globe-trotting adventure which began in last week's harrowing "Escape to the House of Mummies (Part 1)," Team Venture find themselves trapped in the clutches of a bloodthirsty Egyptian cult and their time machine. Doc narrowly escapes and teams up with Master Billy Quizboy and Pete White, but promptly forgets to mount a rescue. So it's up to Brock and a pantheon of history's greatest men to find another way out.

Aided by Henchmen 21, 24 and a ragtag band of roughneck new recruits, The Monarch attempts to rebuild his villainous empire and rekindle his relationship with Dr. Girlfriend. A showdown at the local shopping mall forces his hand, and as he struggles to choose between revenge and reconciliation amidst a sea of violence, a wounded Brock falls into the clutches of The Phantom Limb.

When Dr. Venture finally succeeds in attaining the holy grail of super science--the revivification of a human corpse for fun and profit--a washed up gang of wandering former teen sleuths is convinced that the Venture Compound is haunted. Their investigation uncovers something far creepier. Meanwhile, Orpheus shepherds Brock through a crisis of conscience with the help of a New Age shaman and a bizarre tea party.
