Jerry tells the girls he has a very treacherous mission for them: they are to transport an extremely dangerous criminal to WOOHP's highest security penitentiary. The Spies are nervous until they meet the villain, an 80-something grandmother with a sweet disposition. The girls are sure there must be a mistake, but Jerry assures them that "The Granny" is the most notorious and ruthless bank robber in the annals of criminal history. He warns the girls to be very cautious. Can the Spies gain the upper hand and bring their geriatric foes to justice?

- Never Mess with Granny: Her age doesn’t stop The Granny from going back to her bank-robbing ways the second she gets the chance.
- Nobody Touches the Hair: The last straw that finally gets Clover to start fighting back against The Granny is when she messes up her hair.Clover: Okay, now you’ve gone too far! Granny or no Granny, no one touches the coif but my hairdresser!

- Too Good to Be True: Sam and Alex are shocked to see that Clover has seemingly met the male version of herself. They seem to be on the right track considering at the end of the episode, he appears to be creating a bomb out of a volleyball.
- Underestimating Badassery: None of the girls take The Granny seriously due to her age and the fact that she looks like a sweet little grandma. She quickly shows them why she should not be underestimated.
