The Doctor is Sin - Recap

The episode starts up with a few illegal Hispanic immigrants standing in the middle of the desert next to a road, looking for work. Dr. Venture comes along traveling inside one of his inventions, a flying disc hovercraft, and proceeds to ask the migrant workers to work with him inside his compound, and he offers them fifty dollars a day to do so. The immigrants become startled over what Dr. Venture came riding in on, but then they raise their hands to indicate that they are willing to work for him. Dr. Venture reads off of his notebook what he is looking for, which are “Rocket Engineers, Radar tracking operation managers, super fusion fuel rode insertion specialists–with Ventrillium handling experience” he also needs a few people to work on “spectrum analysis.” While Dr. Venture reads the list, one by one the migrant workers lower their hands in disillusion to not being qualified for the job. When Dr. Venture finishes reading off of his list, he asks the workers if any of them want to work for him. None of them answers him. Dr. Venture, after seeing none of them want to work for him, sighs and turns his hover craft back on, then proceeds to leave. While he leaves, we can see a billboard for an iPod add with the silhouette of Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. in it.

Back at the Venture compound, Brock, Dean and Hank are outside the estate cleaning up the fence and taking down an electrocuted/fried body off of it. The body looks like what appears to be a lizardman. Brock states that he thinks it looks like “Manasauras.” Hank comments that each week the villains that visit them get lamer and lamer. Brock then says he’s going to check on Dr. Venture, who is inside his house now, to see how he’s doing on looking for new workers.

Meanwhile, inside the Venture estate, Dr. Venture is talking on the phone with brother, Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. They compare notes on how each of them is doing. Dr. Venture then stops his brother from telling him all about his accomplishments to tell him about his own upcoming meeting with General Manhowers. After Dr. Venture tells this to his brother, Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. tells him to tell the General that the General’s helicopters will be ready for him as scheduled. Dr. Venture then changes the conversation and tells his brother to look out for him in one of the next science magazines, because he’s going to be in it. He continues to say that he’s going to get out of his “self imposed media blackout” and become a renowned scientist once again. Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. asks his brother if he saw him inside a recent “Scientific American” article that he thinks one of his female employees in his PR department had submitted a pictures of himself. Dr. Venture doesn’t know what PR means and thinks it meant “Porter Rican Department.” Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. asks his brother to hold on because he’s receiving another call on the other line. Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. tries to answer the person on the other line but is having trouble doing so because he isn’t accustomed to using the phone for incoming calls. He accidentally puts the call in three way leaving Dr. Venture in the conversation only to hear the two speak. When Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. finally answers the other caller, it is none other than “Hadji," of Johnny Quest fame. (Dr. Jonas Venture calls him “Radjni” during the conversation). Hadji called in to tell Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. that he has some bad news. Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. thinks it has to do with Hadji putting in “extra shifts," but Hadji excuses himself and tells him that Johnny Quest is with him and that he is acting up badly relating to his heroin problem.

(During the conversation between Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. and his brother we see formal employees of Dr. Venture talking with the formal Sally Impossible, Dr. Jonas Venture Jr.'s new wife, all working around in the background. And we also see Pirate Captain with them. They all leave when Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. gets a call from Hadji.)

Back outside the Venture compound, Dean, who is looking around with a pair of binoculars, spots an incoming military style jeep. He shouts out “car,” to indicate to Brock that a car is coming. Brock looks at his communicator watch and says that the person in the car is came too early, and proceeds to tell Hank and Dean to duck and to go back inside the house. As the car moves closer to the Venture house, Brock talking to his communicator watch and calls out a “code green” alert and tells the other person on the line that “the eagle has landed” (the person they were expecting has arrived).

Back inside the Venture house, still on the phone with Hadji and Dr. Jonas Venture Jr., Hadji is telling Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. that he doesn’t know what to do with Johnny and that his wife is upset over the entire ordeal. He continues to say that he is conflicted over the matter; he says that Johnny is like a brother to him. Just then, after Hadji mentioned “brother” to him, Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. remembered that he’s still on the other line with his own brother. He asks Hadji to hold on for a moment that he’s on the other line with Dr. Venture. Hadji jokingly asks Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. if his brother called in to ask him for money. They both laugh and Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. tries to switch the lines back with Dr. Venture. We now see that the room where Dr. Venture was at is empty and his chair is spinning as if he had to go out of the room quickly. We hear Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. and Hadji on the phone. Hadji asks Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. if Dr. Venture might have heard what they were saying about him.

We see Dr. Venture inside another room telling people to get into their corresponding places. He then quickly runs into the front lobby of his house yelling “Turn on the juice.” A sign that’s hanging from the ceiling rolls down that reads “Venture Industries. The Future is WOW!” General Manhowers walks in the lobby and coughs at the dust that fell off the sign. We then see Triana Orpheus on the front desk playing the role of receptionist for the General’s visit. General Manhowers asks Triana for Dr. Venture, and tell her that he has an appointment with him. Triana asks him who he is. General Manhowers introduces himself. We then see Dr. Venture in the background whispering to Dr. Orpheus that it is time to play his role. Dr. Orpheus and Dr. Venture walk out where Triana and General Manhowers are. Dr. Orpheus, dressed up like a European businessman, talks to Dr. Venture about an investment they are making for the European Space Agency. Dr. Orpheus gives his thanks to Dr. Venture and then proceeds to leave. When Dr. Orpheus is outside he laughs a bit, and realizes he needs to be somewhere else and runs to that location. Dr. Venture then notices General Manhowers, and greets him. He asks the General if he’d like to take a tour of Dr. Venture’s house. While he’s asking this he tells him that instead of walking they could use Dr. Ventures own moving walkway. General Manhowers doesn’t seem too impressed by this. As soon as the General and Dr. Venture step into the walkway, Triana gets an incoming call from Dean, who is using a disguised voice. Triana tells Dean that he doesn’t need to act like that because the General can’t hear them. Just then, the General and Dr. Venture are approaching Dean’s location and Dean hangs up with Triana, he tells him that they are coming. Dean goes up to them wearing a pair of hover boots, another one of Dr. Venture’s inventions, and says hi to his father. Dr. Venture and Dean put up an act to further showcase Dean’s boots. Dean then hovers around the General and tells them that they have a thousand and one uses around the home, work or in combat situations. While Dean leaves the walkway, Dr. Orpheus comes back, now wearing a workman’s uniform and greats Dr. Venture.

In another room in the house, we see Hank wearing a jumpsuit and a huge machinegun located on his chest. Hanks is practicing what he’s about to act in front of General Manhowers. Dr. Orpheus walks in breathless and goes straight to the costume wardrobe. He asks himself “what’s next,” referring to what he’s going to wear for his next act. Brock, who sitting near a bathroom sink putting on makeup for his act, answers Dr. Orpheus and tells him that the “future man” scene is next and tells him where his costume is located. Dr. Orpheus nervously yells out asking what his next line is. Brock tells him what his line was. As he does this, Triana, wearing a futuristic pink get up, opens up a shower curtain where she was at, and rehearses her next lines. Dean, while getting dressed up for his next role and is currently only wearing his underwear, sees her and becomes a bit nervous. After Triana recites her lines, she asks herself who wrote the script, she calls it crap.

Dr. Venture and General Manhowers, using Dr. Ventures’s walkway, go inside the compound’s hanger. General Manhowers, drinking a bottle of fruit juice, looks at his side and see one of Dr. Venture’s aircrafts. The General seems impressed by it. Dr. Venture tells him that it one of his secret stealth bombers that he has. General Manhowers really likes it and asks Dr. Venture if they can get down to the hanger and look at it some more. Dr. Venture explains to him, nervously, that it isn’t finished yet and that maybe next visit it’ll be ready so that he can inspect it some more. General Manhowers asks him though, why the plane has a big logo on it if it’s supposed to be a stealth plane. Dr. Venture explains to him that it has a logo on it so that they can find it. As they leave, it's clear that it's just the family jet, painted black.

In another walkway, Dr. Venture is about to show General Manhowers his “Rocket research observation command center," but as he goes into it, the door doesn’t open, causing Dr. Venture to slam right into the door, then making him drop to the ground. Making matters worse, the automated walkway makes it more difficult for him to get up. He finally gets inside the command center. General Manhowers asks him where all the staff is. Dr. Venture tells him that he gave the staff the day off. General Manhowers notices that there is dust around the entire command center. Dr. Venture then clarifies that he gave the staff the week off because of a Jewish holiday.

Just then, we hear a loud explosion coming from outside, Dr. Venture becomes frustrated over this because he assumes it’s another super villain coming to annoy him. Outside we see a man dressed like a tick (?) calling out for Dr. Venture. Brock is then seen outside wearing a kind of Indian get-up and smoking a cigarette. He says to himself that “he’ll take care” the situation. Brock then walks directly to the masked man. Dr. Venture and General Manhowers, who is now only wearing one shoe, are then outside the estate, watching Brock and the supervillain while they fight. General Manhowers asks Dr. Venture if this type of things happens to him all the time. Dr. Venture explains to the General that since his arch enemy quit on him he’s been having a lot of villains come to bother him and his family. While Dr. Venture and General Manhowers talk, Brock is shown beating up the villain with a car antenna as he attempts to escape. Brock then rips open the villain’s car and start it up so that he can attempt to run over him.

When Brock finally defeats this masked villain, Dr. Venture tells General Manhowers that everything seems to be under control now and that they should get back to the tour and talk business. General Manhowers tells Dr. Venture that he’s seen all he needed to see and proceeds to walk to his Jeep. Dr. Venture tells the General that he has many things left to show him, like a “zero gravity pen” he invented. Dr. Venture continues on to explain what it does. The General Manhowers tells him that he has a lot of impressive inventions, but all those things Dr. Venture shown him are the same old stuff that Dr. Venture’s father showed him back in the day, and that those things use to still work. Dr. Venture become a bit frustrated and asks the general if that his leaving the tour has anything to do with him losing a shoe. General Manhowers continues to get inside his military jeep, but gives his thanks to Dr. Venture and tell him that he has to go. As General Manhowers drives away, Dr. Venture yells at him and explains to him another invention of his, one consisting of a shoe with soles that can be flipped around.

When Dr. Venture finishes explaining the shoe invention, Hank and Dean come down wearing different get-ups. Dean, wearing a robot costume and acting like one, goes to his father. Dr. Venture tells Dean he can drop his act, and that “it’s over.” Dean asks his father if they’re going to really have to sell their home now, since General Manhowers didn’t like any of his father’s inventions. Dr. Venture frustratingly tells his son that he doesn’t know. Hank asks his father why he doesn’t just asks Dr. Jonas Sr. for another loan. Dr. Venture throws his shoe at Hank’s face.

Just then, Dr. Henry Killinger floats down from the sky using his umbrella, and introduces himself to Dr. Venture. He opens up his Magic Murder Bag to give Dr. Venture his resume. Dr. Venture reads off of it, and it says that Dr. Killinger is a “freelance business consultant, and executive motivational coach.” After reading it, Dr. Venture tells Dr. Killinger that he doesn’t know if he could afford his services. Dr. Killinger responds by telling him that he’ll do it “pro bono.” Dr. Venture’s mood rapidly changes and he asks Dr. Killinger if when he can start the job. To which Dr. Killinger responds that he already has.

Back inside the Venture house, Dr. Henry Killinger, Dr. Venture, Hank, Dean and Brock are back inside on a walkway. Dr. Killinger gives financial and work ethics advice to Dr. Venture. We can see Dr. Orpheus peaking in the background to see who’s with Dr. Venture. He seemed surprised. When Dr. Killinger and Dr. Venture’s group arrives at the “Rocket research observation command center," they find it fully manned and operational. Dr. Venture is shocked, but Dr. Killinger explains to him that “team building” is a hobby of his. Dr. Venture becomes worried and asks Dr. Killinger how he’s supposed to pay for all of them. Dr. Killinger further explains that he doesn’t have to pay anything and that they are all governmental state employees working for a specific program. Dr. Killinger calls these new employees the “Venchmen." Dr. Venture tells Dr. Killinger that he’s worried what the “Super Science Workers Union” is going to think of this, he continues to say that that union has been on strike for over two years. Hank and Dean then interrupts them to say that the manufacturing wing of the estate looks like its on fire. Brock believes that they are under attack by someone again. But Dr. Killinger explains that it’s nothing more than industry at work, and that smoke stacks are burning because workers are hard at work inside of them. This surprises Dr. Venture, Hank, Dean and Brock. Hank call Dr. Killinger a “super magic man," but then Dr. Killinger does the old “pull a coin out of Hanks ear” trick and calls Hank the actual “super magic man,” and tells him to put the coin into a trust fund. Dr. Killinger walks out of the room, as he does this he says that he has much work to do.

Inside another room inside the Venture Compound, we see three businessmen arguing to one another. , Dr. Henry Killinger introduces each one of the businessmen’s work background, after he does this he tells the businessmen that he has read their list of grievances and that he is prepared to make them an offer they cannot refuse. One of the three businessmen asks, Dr. Killinger who he is. Dr. Killinger then states his name and shows them his Magic Murder Bag. When he opens it, an enormous green light surrounds the room. When Dr. Killinger closes his bag back up, the light is gone and Dr. Killinger asks the three businessmen of what they think of his deal. We are then shown three piles of different color ash where the three businessmen were seated.

Somewhere in a desert in a trailer, Billy Quizboy is reading a letter he received about Venture Industries hostilely taking over Billy’s and Pete White’s company. Billy tells Pete that they aren’t even a publicly trading company. Pete explains to Billy that he had issued some stock shares so that he could pay to get the Nintendo Wii. At first Billy becomes upset over Pete not telling him about the stocks, he argues that they are partners and this was a partner involved deal. Pete hands out a few shares to Billy. Billy looks at the shares and realizes that his face is on them. Billy notes that the one that looks like him it the one that is a Griffin and Pete looks like a Centaur.

Back inside the Venture estate, where Dr. Orpheus lives, Dr. Orpheus had just read a letter he has received from Dr. Henry Killinger. The letter informs him that he's evicted from Dr. Venture’s house ASAP. Dr. Orpheus is surprised by this and tells Dr. Killinger, who is also in the room with him, that he isn’t even in risk. Dr. Killinger explains to him that the company is going back into arachnid research and that Dr. Orpheus’ house use to be the center for that research. Dr. Orpheus angrily tells Dr. Killinger that he’s going to tell Dr. Venture about this situation. Dr. Killinger explains to him that Dr. Venture gave him the power of attorney for these types of matters. Just then, Dr. Orpheus realizes that there is something strange about Dr. Killinger, and proceeds to telepathically read his mind. As Dr. Orpheus attempts to read Dr. Killinger’s mind, he has much trouble doing so. Dr. Killinger tells Dr. Orpheus that his powers don’t work on him. Blood comes off of Dr. Orpheus nose and then he faints. As Dr. Orpheus lies on the floor, Dr. Killinger tell him that he has until noon the next day to vacate his house. Dr. Killinger then walks out, leaving Dr. Orpheus on the floor.

Dr. Orpheus, still on the floor in his house, is visited by a member of the “Order of the Triad,” The Alchemist. Venchmen are moving all of Dr. Orpheus’ property out of his house. Triana thanks the Alchemist for coming to help them and that he’s the only person she could think of to help her out. The Alchemist tells Triana that before she thanks him that his house only has one extra bed, and that he hopes she doesn’t mind sleeping with his father because of this. He continues the conversation and explains to Triana that Dr. Orpheus is rough in bed. Triana shivers in disgust and asks the Alchemist if he had slept with him in the past. The Alchemist tells her that he hadn’t actually slept with him, but since back in the day, when they were the first incarnation of the Order of the Triad, they had to go places together and had no other place to sleep. (It appears that Dr. Orpheus and Triana are moving in with the Alchemist for the time being.) After the Alchemist is finished talking to Triana, he calls one of the Venchmen that is moving some of Dr. Orpheus stuff, to help him carry Dr. Orpheus away.

Back inside Dr. Venture’s lab, Dr. Venture and Dr. Henry Killinger are having a discussion. Dr. Killinger tells Dr. Venture that since his business structure has now been fixed, it is time to repair Dr. Venture’s soul as well. Dr. Venture tells him he doesn’t understand. Dr. Killinger explains to him that that he will never reach his full potential unless he confronts his fear of success. Dr. Killinger then tells Dr. Venture to get inside his Magic Murder Bag. Dr. Venture asks him what inside of it. Dr. Killinger responds by saying “only what you take with you.” Dr. Venture then gets inside of it, but it appears nothing happens, and tells him exactly that. Dr. Killinger tells him to look again.

As he says that, Dr. Venture appears to be inside his old kitchen, inside one of his memories. As Dr. Venture realizes this he sees his father coming into the kitchen wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. Dr. Venture Sr. tells his son, Rusty (Dr. Venture Jr.) good morning. We then see a much younger Dr. Venture sitting on the breakfast table and telling his father that he heard noises last night. Dr. Venture Jr., opening the refrigerator to take out a box of orange juice, tells his son that he had a “sleepover,” referring to him having a romantic visitor with him for the night. As Dr. Venture Sr. walks to his son, he asks him what he’s eating. Rusty, turns around and excitingly yells out the brand name cereal he’s eating, but is then shocked to see his father’s penis hanging out of his boxer shorts. Rusty, shocked, then turns around and mumbles that he “likes Apple Mommies better” (referring to another brand of cereal). Dr. Venture Sr. doesn’t realize his penis is hanging out and continues to walk towards his son, and tells him that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We now see Dr. Venture Jr. all grown up again, still shivering and closing his eyes while he’s mumbling a response back to his father. Dr. Venture Sr. tells him that he’s hoping he’ll get a prize off of the brand of the cereal he’s eating. Dr. Venture Jr. breaks out and calls out to Dr. Killinger asking him what he’s trying to do with him. Letters coming off from the cereal make words that tell him to “face his fears." Dr. Venture Jr. nervously turns around with his eyes closed to see his father and his penis hanging out. When Dr. Venture Jr. opens his eyes, Dr. Venture Sr.’s censor bar where his penis was turns into Dr. Killinger face. Dr. Killinger tells Dr. Venture Jr. that this is moment that turned his father from role model to his tormenter/rival. Dr. Killinger, shaped as a snake coming off of Dr. Venture Sr. pants, wraps around Dr. Venture Jr. and asks him what he’s going to do about it.

We are then taken to another location inside a mummy’s tomb, where Rusty is tied in a chair trying to get freet while mummies come towards him. He calls out for his father. His father comes in ridding a dinosaur and wearing a suit of armor with a lance that looks like a missile. Dr. Killinger, in the manifestation of an Egyptian priest- guard, tells Rusty that he should not call his father for help, because it was him that tied him up and buried his dream inside this tomb. Dr. Killinger tells the young Rusty Venture to free himself and to destroy his own temple of failure. Rusty yells out in agony and breaks through his bondage; a great light is then seen emanating from him.

After young Rusty Venture destroys the Egyptian tomb, we then see Dr. Venture again, fully grown, wearing an old style Roman tunic get-up outside of the Venture compound. Dr. Venture Sr., who is in the manifestation of the Venture statue located in the front of the Venture compound, calls out to his son. Dr. Venture Sr. asks his son about all the noise he’s doing. Just then Dr. Killinger comes up from behind Dr. Ventures Jr.’s neck, explaining to him that Dr. Venture Sr. is this his Goliath figure, and that Dr. Venture Jr. has to defeat him so that Dr. Venture Sr. can stop crushing his soul. Dr. Killinger then walks towards Dr. Venture Jr.’s hand, which he has a slingshot in his hand, and starts to position himself as if he’s going to be thrown at the statue of Dr. Venture Sr. Dr. Killinger then starts to move back as if he’s going to shoot, he tells Dr. Venture Jr. he must shoot at his father. Dr. Killinger then shoots directly to Dr. Venture Sr.’s head. Dr. Venture Jr. now walks toward where the statue of his father used to be, Dr. Killinger now appears as a full-sized man and helps Dr. Venture Jr. position himself where the statue of Dr. Venture Sr. use to be. Dr. Killinger tells Dr. Venture Jr. that everything is now how it should be.

A rainbow shoots off from the Venture estate, candy is falling off from the rainbow, Dr. Venture grabs one and starts eating it. We now see Dr. Jonas Venture, wearing a leprechaun get-up, walking along and grabbing candy from the ground. Dr. Killinger makes Dr. Venture aware of this by asking him why his brother, Dr. Jonas Venture, is stealing Dr. Venture’s birthright (the candy). Dr. Venture is then seen choking on a candy, but as he is seen choking on it; we are taken back to reality.

We now see Dr. Venture, lying naked on the floor, convulsing inside another room of his house, with Dr. Killinger’s wallet in his mouth. Dr. Venture wakes up and Dr. Killinger tells him that he just had a seizure induced by his visions. Dr. Venture, nervous and disoriented, starts asking Dr. Killinger why he’s inside another room and naked. He then accuses Dr. Killinger of slipping him a Roofie pill, though he mispronounces it, calling it a “roufo." Dr. Killinger further explains to Dr. Venture that he’s naked because he had just been born again, and that his old clothes and life do not fit him anymore. Dr. Killinger then gives Dr. Venture a box containing new clothes. After he hands the box to him he asks Dr Venture to hand back his wallet.

Inside the Alchemist's house, Dr. Orpheus opens the door and welcomes Brock in. Brock says hello and gives Dr. Orpheus a six pack of beer as a house warming gift. Triana is doing up the Alchemist’s hair, painting it purple. The Alchemist asks Dr. Orpheus to hand him one of Brock’s beers. Triana attempts to grab a beer, but Dr. Orpheus doesn’t let her. Dr. Orpheus asks Brock why he came to visit them now. Brock tells Dr. Orpheus that he’s bored. Dr. Orpheus takes this as that Dr. Killinger is no longer there and that Brock took care of him. He thinks he can now move back in. Brock tells Dr. Orpheus that Dr. Killinger took care of all the “Costumed Schmoes” that used to come bother Dr. Venture, and that there isn’t a lot for him to do now. Dr. Orpheus asks Brock if he isn’t outraged over this, allowing himself to be forced out by Dr. Killinger. Brock tells him that he was at first, especially when Dr. Killinger told him that he was now supposed to pay for rent inside of Dr. Venture’s house, and further more retroactively pay the last two years since he’s lived in the Venture compound. But then, as Brock explains, Dr. Killinger showed him how to write it all off from the IRS, so he actually gained money. Dr. Orpheus then asks Brock about Dr. Venture’s two sons, Dean and Hank. He asks Brock if he thinks they’re safe. Brock tells Dr. Orpheus that Hank and Dean are treated well by Dr. Killinger, and that they both really like him. (We then see Dr. Killinger playing hide and seek with Hank and Dean). Brock continues to tell Dr. Orpheus that Dean is excelling in his studies thanks to Dr Killinger (We are then shown Dr. Killinger and Dean both inside Dean’s bed-pod learning things). Brock then tells Dr. Orpheus that he isn’t sure about the things he’s teaching Hank though. (We then see Dr. Killinger handing a dagger to Hank, pointing him to a man that stole from Dr. Venture. Hank then walks toward the Venchman that stole from his father and is about to cut off his head. We aren’t shown if he does so or not. Hank seems scared though. Brock says that Dr. Killinger said that he has a PHD in child psychology). Dr Orpheus, in a dramatic manner, tells Brock that they must stop Dr. Killinger at once, that he had seen into Dr. Killinger’s mind and saw nothing but evil. After Dr. Orpheus says this, Brock is seen chugging down a bottle of beer and after he completes drinking it, he tells him “Oh.”

Back inside the Venture Compound, inside a room of the estate, Dr. Killinger is waiting on Dr. Venture to come up out of the bathroom to see Dr. Venture’s new outfit. Dr. Venture tells Dr. Killinger from afar that he isn’t sure about the suit. Dr. Killinger responds that if he wants to be a “power player” he must look like one. Dr. Venture comes out of the room and wears a different style Venchmen uniform. Dr. Venture asks Dr. Killinger why he has two cylindrical containers on his suspenders, Dr. Killinger responds by telling him that one is for his diet pills the other for “what have you.” Dr. Venture tells him that he likes the suit. Dr Killinger rejoices and starts crying, telling him that he has now become as like a “proud father” and that he loves his job.

Outside the Venture Compound, Brock, Dr. Orpheus and the Alchemist are trying to sneak back in; Brock puts a matt on top of the barbed wired electrical fence, and proceeds to help Dr. Orpheus and the Alchemist up the fence. While they’re in the run towards the main building they are caught by one of the automated defenses. Brock tells them that these automated defenses are new to him. Inside the surveillance room, two Venchmen spot the intruders and discuss whether to call Dr. Killinger or not. Back outside, Dr. Orpheus uses his magic cloak to make them look like as if they had disappeared from the eyes of the two surveillance Venchmen. Brock, Dr. Orpheus and the Alchemist make it inside the compound and start to hear Dr. Killinger’s voice. Brock, with a knife in his hand, sneaks up inside Dean and Hank’s room, the source of Dr. Killinger’s voice. Dr. Killinger’s voice appears to be coming out of Dean’s bed-pod. Brock disconnects Hank’s bed-pod and the Bed-pod starts to open.

Inside a bathroom, the Alchemist and Dr. Orpheus are putting on different Venchman costumes. The Alchemist asks him why they’re doing this. Dr. Orpheus tells him that Dr. Killinger already knows what they look like and he also uses magic. The Alchemist tells Dr. Orpheus that they too also use magic. But Dr. Orpheus responds by telling him that they are somewhat less magical. Dr. Orpheus tells him that they must rely on Brock’s plan to survive. Dr. Orpheus then proceeds to ask the Alchemist if he’s ready. The Alchemist, wearing the same machinegun get-up that Hank was wearing earlier, tells him that he is ready.

Inside the command center inside of Dr. Venture’s compound, Dr. Killinger, using a dagger, cuts Dr. Venture’s palm open to drain some of Dr. Venture's blood into a cup. Dr. Venture complains and tells Dr. Killinger that he thought he gave him his power of attorney so that he wasn’t going to go through stuff like that again. Dr. Killinger tells him that this situation is different, and that the contract he’s about to sign must be written by his hand and only in blood. Dr. Venture complains again and tells Dr. Killinger that he took too much blood, and then asks him again what he signing. Dr. Killinger answers his question and tells him that he’s signing a contract that gives membership inside the most elite and exclusive brotherhood of them all, it’s for an exclusive “arching rights.” As Dr. Venture begins to sign the contract he thinks a bit and then asks Dr. Killinger who he is going to arch now. Dr. Killinger tells him that Dr. Venture actually chose who it’s going to be. Dr. Venture reads off of the contract and is shocked to find out it’s his own brother. Dr. Killinger explains to Dr. Venture that he believes it to be a classic rivalry between siblings. Dr. Venture tells Dr. Killinger that he can’t arch him because he isn’t even a super villain. Just then Dr. Venture realizes that Dr. Killinger has been prepping him to become a super villain himself. He tells Dr. Killinger that he isn’t a super villain. Dr. Killinger tells him all the signs were there. He further explains that it’s exactly what his heart was trying to tell him inside his visions earlier. Dr. Killinger forcibly tells Dr. Venture to sign the contract to make his blood feud official, and also that his Venchmen are standing by for his all of his orders when he does so.

Brock and the Alchemist are at the door leading to the compound’s headquarters. Brock asks the Alchemist if he’s ready, and begins to count down to three. Dr. Orpheus tries to open the door using a keycard, but it doesn’t seem to work. Brock then tells the Alchemist to use his machinegun to blast the door open, but it doesn’t even work. Brock then kicks the door open himself, after he becomes annoyed over nothing working inside the house.

Inside the command center, Dr. Venture starts signing the contract. Dr. Orpheus says that they’re too late as he sees Dr. Venture sign the contract. Dr. Venture hands the contract back to Dr. Killinger. Dr. Killinger then seemingly, calls the Venchmen to attack Brock, Dr. Orpheus and the Alchemist. As the Venchmen start walking towards them, Brock whispers ”This is it,” meaning that it’s time to attack. The Venchmen then start walking outside of the room, crossing Brock and the other. When all the Venchmen are gone, we see a naked Dr. Venture slouching in disappointment. Brock asks Dr. Venture if he’s all right. Dr. Venture tells him that he doesn’t know, but that Dr. Killinger thinks he’s a bad person. But then he asks Brock if he thinks that he’s a bad person. Brock asks him what just happened. Dr. Venture asks Brock again if he’s a bad person or not. Brock answers him this time, and tells him that he is a so-so good/bad. Dr. Orpheus asks Dr. Venture where Dr. Killinger went. Dr. Venture tells him that he just left. Dean and Hank walk in disappointed of what they had just heard. Dr. Orpheus tells Dr. Venture that they saw him sign the contract. Dr. Venture tells him that they saw him sign Dr. Killinger’s severance agreement, and that he didn’t sign the other one. Dr. Venture continues to explain what happened to Dr. Killinger after he had signed the severance agreement. Dr. Venture says that Dr. Killinger thanked him for his time and then he wished Dr. Venture luck and then he just flew out off from the window. Dr. Orpheus assumes that Dr. Killinger flew off with Dr. Venture's pants. Hank tells them that Dr. Killinger was supposed to take him rock climbing to the next day, the Alchemist volunteers to take him. Dr. Venture asks Brock to “hold him.” Brock says no to this. Dr. Venture asks him again and tells him that he feels empty now that Dr. Killinger is gone. Brock then stares at Hank, Dean, the Alchemist and Dr. Orpheus, who are all staring at Dr. Venture. Brock asks them if any of them would like to help out Dr. Venture. The Alchemist responds with a joke and that he doesn’t want to help him. Dr. Venture walks towards the windows and we start to hear Dr. Killinger’s voice saying a Shakespearean line.“ All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.” We then see his face in the sky reciting this Shakespearean line. After he recites it, General Manhowers face appears right next to his, and starts to agree with what Dr. Killinger’s apparition had just said. General Manhowers looks towards the audience and tells them that they can read more about it inside the Bible.

[END CREDITS]

After the credits, we see Dr. Venture back inside his lab looking through his pile of mail. He reads off of them one by one, which are mostly bills. He receives a boxed package and opens it up. When he opens it, he first reads a letter that came with it. The letter says “DIE DR VENTURE” and has the Monarch’s butterfly logo on it. After he reads it, and moves the letter aside, he realizes that inside the package is a cobra. Dr. Venture initially becomes frightened over it, but he then realizes that the cobra isn’t moving, he touches it with a box cutter and the cobra turns to dust. He grabs the box and turns it around to look for the date on it. The date inside it says “June 6, 2003.” Dr. Venture becomes annoyed because of this, and says that he really need to start getting is “shit” together.
