Dr. Venture's latest scientific breakthrough gets him in trouble with the O.S.I. Meanwhile, the Monarch becomes involved in Copycat's heist on VenTec Tower.
- All Just a Dream: Dr. Venture is led to believe that he's going to an orgy organized by the Illuminati to convince him to give up on his teleportation breakthrough. In reality, it's the OSI's virtual reality technology tricking him into thinking that's the case.
- The Bad Guy Wins: The Monarch and 21 successfully steal the teleporters for themselves.
- Bland-Name Product: 21 disguises himself as a delivery person from a shop called "Pharm House", whose logo and wordmark are a clear parody of the Duane Reade brand common in the New York area. He even has a fake name tag of 'Duane' to make it complete.
- The Cameo:
- Mark Hamill uses his Joker voice for Presto Change-O, a Voluntary Shapeshifter with a clown theme, and one of the members of the Illuminati.
- One of the simulated Illuminati members is clearly Roy Brisby wearing a bee-themed mask.
- Continuity Nod: When asked what he thought would happen with the teleporter, he notes his dream of retiring to "Spanikopita", still having not heard what actually goes on there.
- Cool Gate: Doc, Billy, and Pete successfully invent this, which consists of two circular portals that send anything that comes in contact with one of them to the other. Both Copycat's gang and the OSI want to confiscate this from Venture—the former to use it for nefarious purposes, and the latter to destroy it to keep it from falling into the wrong hands and/or collapsing the global economy. In the end, the teleporters end up falling into the hands of the Monarch and 21.
- Dwindling Party: Copycat's heist team. Justified though, as Copycat was using them as decoy behind their backs and intentionally leading them to their deaths.
- Fanservice: This episode is uncensored on the DVD. Everything pixelated is shown (though not in Australia, at least).
- Foreshadowing: The Monarch proposes a bold attack for heisting VenTech Tower, but Copycat rejects it and tells him to stick to their original plan. It turns out everything the Monarch pitches is a part of Copycat's real plan.
- Four Is Death: Or, at least, it's villainous. Copycat's suite is in room 44-44.
- Gratuitous Latin: The banners of the Illuminati includes two phrases that roughly translate to "World Order Government - You Can Thank Us" (i.e. You're Welcome).
- Heist Episode: The main plot is about The Monarch (and eventually 21) getting entangled with Copycat's heist on VenTech tower.
- High-Class Cannibal: Dr. Venture is invited to an Eyes Wide Shut-style sex-party hosted by a cabal of wealthy elites that (allegedly) control the world from the shadows. When Venture helps himself to party snacks, he is told that he is sampling "orphan sashimi", with Venture nearly throwing up when told this.
- I Ate WHAT?!: After learning he'd just eaten raw orphan meat, Rusty runs outside to wash his mouth out in a fountain... then notices another orgy participant rinsing off his junk in the same water.
- The Illuminati: Invoked, with a side order of zigzaggy subversion. General Hunter Gathers of OSI warns Doc that his invention of teleportation is a Spanner in the Works for the secret masters of the world. He is later brought to an Eyes Wide Shut-esque orgy and offered a choice: give up teleportation and join them or a grizzly end at the hands of a supervillain - "fuck or be fucked". Doc ultimately chooses the former - and then is revealed to be in an OSI simulator.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: After getting away scot-free in "Faking Miracles" and almost tricking the Monarch in becoming his decoy, Copycat's heist ends up in smoke and his likely death while the Monarch and 21 end up with the teleporters through nothing but luck.
- No Honor Among Thieves: While it at first seems that Copycat's carefully-picked Villain team-up might work, it is eventually revealed that Copycat (whose powers essentially make him a one-man Legion of Doom) set all of his teammates up to take the fall while he gets away with the stolen tech, leaving the others to either get arrested by OSI or death by Samson.
- Portal Cut: Ramburglar, after being shot by Hatred's bullets that traveled through Monarch's teleporter to his, falls headfirst onto his teleporter, which beheads him while sending the head to the Monarch.
- Refuge in Audacity: 21 appeals to this when he has to rush to get the Monarch wings that actually fly. His solution? Dress up as a pharmacy delivery man and smuggle the wings in a package of adult diapers. The best part is that the Monarch can't even really argue against it.Monarch: Your cover story, is that I shit myself....
21: Hey, make a lie embarrassing enough, and nobody questions it. - Spanner in the Works: The Monarch and 21 to Copycat.
- Teleportation Sickness: After The Pirate Captain accidentally steps into the teleporter, he vomits after he reaches the other side.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Presto Change-O can seemingly shapeshift into anything, even complex machines, but maintains his original color scheme. This causes Brock to suspect something is up when Presto shapeshifts into H.E.L.P.eR.
- The World Is Not Ready: Gathers spells out to Rusty exactly what would happen if teleportation tech was made public. The entire transport and delivery industries would go belly up, along with Big Oil that supplies the fuel for those industries. It would cripple the economy beyond repair, and those same companies would not think twice about having something very bad happen to the device's inventor to prevent that from happening.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Doc finally invents something worthwhile, that's not Powered by a Forsaken Child or possessing a Weaksauce Weakness. His reward is to be threatened by the OSI, and having it stolen by the Monarch and 21.
