Summary[]
Ms. Nowhere and the Spy Racers crash a masquerade ball in Mexico City when stolen artifacts clue them in about who might have framed them.
Plot[]
Somewhere in Mexico City, Tuco as the Ocelot is fighting a match to a cheering crowd. At first it looks like he might be losing the match, but in the end he pulls through and is able to win the match.
Meanwhile, underneath the streets of Mexico a machine is doing some underground drilling.
On their way to Mexico City, a cop is standing by ready to measure a car’s speed and bust them if they go over the speed limit. However, the cloaked vehicle that Ms. Nowhere, Tony and his crew is able to speed by at 175 kilometers per hour because it’s invisible. Frostee laugh as he watches the perplexed cop, but Ms. Nowhere comes through on the screen and warns him to slow down. Frostee tells her that he was just trying to get them to where they need to be faster. But Ms. Nowhere chastises him saying that cloaked or not, they can’t do anything to blow their cover right now.
Ms. Nowhere and Layla continue to think that Tuco likely framed them, but Cisco and Tony on their end refuse to believe that, and want to prove his innocence.
Initially, Tony proposes they get boots on the ground in Mexico City, and start searching for Tuco. But Ms. Nowhere shoots that idea down because they won’t be able to move a muscle once in the city without first getting caught on God’s Eye.
Tony reminds her that they are all on the run together, and she’s not the leader anymore. Thus, they need to make decisions together.
Eventually, Layla is able to show everyone a news report of what a reporter is calling outlaw ghosts in Mexico City one day prior. When asked how she found out about it, Layla explains that she reached out to some underground contacts to see if anyone knew about a ghost crew, and they sent her that video. The female reporter interviews the museum curator, and is unable to not laugh at his claim that a group of ghosts robbed one of the curator’s exhibits. He explains how they appeared out of nowhere, and he yells out that he is telling the truth.
When they finally get to Mexico City, Ms. Nowhere is quick to ask the museum’s curator what these so-called ghosts stole. He tells them that it was a black obsidian ring. Layla wonders if it was worth a lot, but the curator explains that it really wasn’t. But it is one of three remaining artifacts left behind by an ancient pre-Aztec culture most people have never even heard of. As it turns out, the other two artifacts end up being a ceremonial headdress, and a jewel jaguar’s tooth.
The last artifact clues in Ms. Nowhere as to the person who framed them. She later explains that his code name was Moray. She describes him as a tech engineer genius who the agency contracted some twenty or so years ago when she was only a junior agent. He was hired to design new spy tech. Ms. Nowhere admits later though that Moray was a total weirdo, who was always going about some ancient apocalyptic prophecy. He got so obsessed with that nonsense that the agency had to eventually let him go. Right before he was fired, he gave Ms. Nowhere a jaguar tooth made out of ancient jewels, and said it was important. Since it wasn’t exactly something one can wear out, she threw it in the agency vault. Frostee realizes that this must have been the item he stole from headquarters, and now that he has the obsidian ring, this leaves only the ceremonial headdress left for him to steal.
Cisco yells out excitedly that this all but proves his Uncle Tuco’s innocence, but Ms. Nowhere points out that for all they know the two men could be working together. Cisco then states that there’s no way his uncle would work for a crazy guy like that because he is scared of conspiracy theories. So Tuco would never want to be part of one.
Through some internet sleuthing, Frostee locates the headdress, and finds out that it has been locked in a vault for thirty years, but that it will be shown at a gala at some fancy mansion in Mexico City later tonight.
The gang decides they will crash the party in order to put a stop to Moray’s plan and clear their names.
Elsewhere, Palindrome locates Manny and asks him about a woman with five kids. Manny jokes that there’s a website called Family Daters, and he’d kill it there. Palindrome isn’t in the mood for jokes, and asks that he not be toyed with. He orders Manny to tell him everything he knows, but Manny just laughs saying he is a stone cold outlaw. Palindrome cracks his knuckles and takes out a blade right above Manny’s man bun. It’s only after threatening to cut it off, that Manny confesses to having seen them a few days earlier. He tells Palindrome how he knows they were heading to Mexico City, and were looking to make some cash but that is all he knows.
At the gala, Moray immediately recognizes Ms. Nowhere, and she asks him to dance in order to interrogate him. He then admits that he framed her because he wanted to get revenge on her for abandoning him all those years ago. But he also did because he knew he needed her out of the way since she was the only one who could possibly stop him.
Ms. Nowhere thinks she successfully stopped Moray, but he proves to be several steps ahead of her, when he reveals that her comms are down. Moray’s ghosts then show up after a smokescreen, and he takes the ceremonial headdress.
Outside, Echo wonders why Ms. Nowhere is just staring at the volcano full of mole, and Tony pipes up saying it’s weird that they haven’t heard from her. He asks Frostee if something is wrong, but Frostee tells Tony that nothing appears to be wrong with the feed from what he can see. They decide to standby and wait for Ms. Nowhere’s signal.
Back inside the mansion, Moray goes on to tell the crowd how the heart of their native ancestors has been lost to the bland culture of the United States. He further states that Mexico is awash in the squalor of the north. But instead of helping, the so-called upper classes, simply swim in American decadence. So he proceeds to tell them that soon, a flood of fire will wash the land clean, and Mexico City will return to its natural order. He then puts on the ceremonial headdress as he proclaims how he will lead a pure, new generation.
Ms. Nowhere groans at Moray’s speech, and then proceeds to kick one of his ghost agents. The commotion finally alerts Tony and the others to spring into action.
Inside the mansion, Ms. Nowhere yells at the guest to get out. Before Moray can escape, Tony throws a laser grenade which causes the ghost agents Moray is using to no longer be invisible. While Tony fights Moray, everyone else fights the ghost agents.
Just when they have Moray corner, he laughs and says that one more guest is just about to arrive. Not long after, Palindrome makes his entrance.
Tony yells out he will take care of Moray, while Ms. Nowhere decides she can handle Palindrome. She then instructs everyone else to get in the hauler because they need to have someone in charge of the getaway car.
Palindrome and Ms. Nowhere to fight for a bit, but she manages to successfully knock him out and leaves him behind as she escapes.
Elsewhere, Tony successfully catches up with Moray. But Moray reveals that he has sixty seconds to save his friends who may or may not still be inside the mansion. Over the comms, he asks if everyone is out of the mansion, and they tell him they are. However, Ms. Nowhere tells Tony that Palindrome is still inside. He then asks Frostee if an explosive truly is inside the mansion, and Frostee confirms his suspicions. Refusing to leave Palindrome to die, Tony lets Moray escape, and runs back to the mansion to save Palindrome.
Gary and Julius inform Palindrome that Tony saved him once their boss is conscious again. Perplexed, Palindrome wonders why a guilty man would save the life of the one man hunting him down.
