Episode Title:
Arrears in Science.
Episode Description:
Jonas' rampage is halted by Vendata, who has dressed as the Blue Morpho and commandeered the Morphomobile. It is revealed in flashback that during the OSI's raid on Don Hell's nightclub, Brock damaged Vendata's programming, triggering memories of his life as the original Blue Morpho and prompting him to return to New York in search of Jonas. Vendata plugs himself into the VenTech mainframe and meets with Jonas inside the computer. Jonas and the Blue Morpho (real name: Don Fitzcarraldo) had originally been close friends, though it is revealed this relationship became strained as Jonas began blackmailing Don to do his dirty work and possibly impregnated his wife with the Monarch after Don's apparent display of infertility, making the Monarch Rusty's biological brother. When Don and his wife were killed in a plane crash, Jonas resurrected him as the cyborg Venturion. Venturion was subsequently killed once again by Kano (prompting his decades-long vow of silence) after malfunctioning and throttling a young Rusty, before finally being reprogrammed as Vendata by Dr. Z. Meanwhile, Red Death explains to Brock and the Council of 13 that he participated in a raid on Gargantua-1 alongside Vendata. Upon entering the station, Vendata apparently deactivated the airlock, forcing the entire crew, including Jonas, into space, killing them. Back at VenTech, the Monarch and Gary break into the foyer with the intent of killing Vendata and framing him as the man responsible for the deaths of the villains killed by them and Red Death. Jonas attempts to persuade Billy to transplant his brain into Vendata's body, but they are interrupted by the Monarch. Don and Jonas notice the Monarch as he enters the room and Don calls him by his real name (Malcolm). Jonas and Don begin to attack one another within the computer, causing Vendata's rockets to activate, sending both Vendata and the ProBLEM machine containing Jonas' head flying out of VenTech and into the air. Recognizing his father, the Monarch chases them and is caught in their flight. Though the Monarch's landing is cushioned by an enormous Rusty Venture balloon inflated for the Thanksgiving Day parade, Vendata and Jonas are both rendered out of commission by the fall. A confused Monarch shares one look with his father before he shuts down and is hailed a hero by the Council for killing the Blue Morpho. As the Venture family gathers to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade the next day, OSI asks Rusty to turn Jonas's head over to them for "research".
