** In “The Dark Medjai”, Ardeth is kidnapped by Nizam Toth (the titular Dark Medjai)and tortured for information on the Medallion of the Medjai. In addition to resisting the torture without telling Toth anything, Ardeth still manages to get a solid hit in during Toth’s battle with Alex and Yanit, kicking Toth away from Alex while still chained to the wall. To cap it all off, after Alex frees Ardeth, Ardeth performs an interrogation of his own on Toth using the latter’s own scarab talisman, thereby gaining the information needed to save a separate group of Medjai trainees who were trapped in a chamber filling with sand.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: The O'Connells are this to a T. It seems that every time they go looking for an artifact, they're always either attacked by mummies or giant sand creatures or some kind of monster!

Based loosely on hit films ''[[Film/TheMummy1999 The Mummy]]'' and ''Film/TheMummyReturns'', the O'Connells find themselves being chased around the world by the undead corrupt High Priest Imhotep ([[TheOtherDarrin now voiced]] by Creator/JimCummings), and his lackey, Colin Weasler, while trying to get the Manacle of Osiris off of Alex's wrist. This takes their trip across the world, trying to locate the lost Scrolls of Thebes, the only things that can remove the Manacle. However, the Scrolls had to be destroyed to prevent Imhotep from possessing the Manacle. Now in the second season, Alex is trained as a Medjai to combat the mummy as well as facing new threats along the way.

** In a BadFuture created when Imhotep goes back in time to steal the Manacle, Imhotep takes over the world and has Rick and Evy (who serve Imhotep in this timeline) taken away to be sacrificed for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing to defeat the Sphinx]]. Alex and this timeline’s Jonathan team up to save them by going back in time to restore the original timeline (including preventing Rick and Evy’s imprisonment/sacrifice from ever happening).
