* {{Foreshadowing}}: Much is made of there being Nine Realms and the same number of corresponding stones, but only eight (counting Earth) are at play. When going over the dimensional fault line and the sudden energy flares, Iron Man says a volcano spot is the only one not exhibiting any changes. Season 2 will confirm this relates to Muspelheim and that that stone was not used because not even Loki wanted to risk Surtur getting free.

->Written by Michael Ryan

Beginning in a ColdOpening, The Enchantress and Executioner attack Karnilla, the Norn Queen in her stronghold. Although she is a powerful fighter in her own right, she is attacked from behind by the [[TakenForGranite Gray Gargoyle]] who turns her to stone. The trio then recover the legendary Norn Stones of Norse mythology for the Masters of Evil but [[BlatantLies Gray Gargoyle did not survive the encounter]].

It seems Zemo and enchantress haven't been idle since [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E14MastersOfEvil their last defeat]], and have added two new members to their ranks: Living Laser and Chemistro, and Zemo proclaims that this is the day they become ''The Masters of Earth''.

Meanwhile, there is joy in the Avengers Mansion as Stark and T'Challa unveil an device they have been working on that should be able to open portals between dimensions, allowing Thor to return to Asgard. The catch is that they have to use it somewhere where the veil between worlds is already weak. Cap pipes up that ItsBeenDone. He then recounts the story of [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E4MeetCaptainAmerica how he and Bucky stopped HYDRA from opening a portal and summoning mythological monsters to Earth]] and T'Challa reasons that the old castle would be an excellent place to test out the device. Suddenly, JARVIS starts detecting flares of dimensional energy at each of eight such points across the world, aside from one that is inside an active volcano. Seven points, seven Avengers. No problem.

Why seven? Hank is still feeling incredibly guilty after what happened [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E23TheUltronImperative last episode]], and still thinks he no longer belongs on the team. Wasp tries to reassure him that Thor's back and things worked out in the end, but Hank reasons that [[TechnicalPacifist he's strayed too far from what he once believed in]] and appears to leave on ant back.

Of course, this is all a trap by the Masters of Evil to divide the Avengers and it worked perfectly. Wasp discovers one of the Norn Stones at her location and is ambushed by Abomination. Ditto Iron Man with the Living Laser. Cap battles the Crimson Dynamo and Hawkeye gets to go up against Chemistro. At his objective, Black Panther finds Wonder Man and tries to reason with him again, offering to help him with Wakandan science. Executioner keeps the Hulk busy. Finally, Thor is met by Baron Zemo and the Enchantress, who brought the Norn Stones to Earth in order to tear down the veil. In fact, it has already begun. Over the course of their fights, Norse creatures begin to appear all over the world as the nine realms merge together.

However, there are greater plots at work, as Zemo betrays the enchantress, hoping to claim the creatures of the 9 realms for his own army.

The Avengers gradually rally and repel their respective foes. Hulk tosses the executioner away, claiming his ax, Cap shatter's Dynamo's dome, Hawkeye binds up Chemistro, Iron man shoots living laser into space, and Thor takes down Zemo and The Enchantress. Wonder Man fled the scene after Black Panther gave him an ArmorPiercingQuestion, and even Hank shows up to rescue Wasp from Abomination, having stowed away in her quinjet. On Thor's instruction, the avengers proceed to destroy the Norn Stones, severing the connections between the realms. Unfortunately, it also causes the Avengers to vanish into these other realms. Thor ends up in Asgard, where Loki taunts him from atop Odin's throne.
