Synopsis[]
Gretel and Kevin meet a villain with a unique ability.
Plot[]
While at the grocery store purchasing ingredients for a special remedy soup for Dave, Kevin and Gretel encounter La Cebolla, a supervillain with the power to communicate with onions. At first, they do not take her seriously, but she proves herself worthy as she continually wreaks havoc on the city, stealing onions from around town in the process. Meanwhile, Carolina has Kevin and Gretel run around the block three times with garlic, after which La Cebolla appears again, leading to a battle. La Cebolla incapacitates Hamster with onion breath and captures Gretel with intent to drain her powers to activate her onion amplifier, which will allow her to communicate with every onion on earth.
Kevin learns from Carolina that onion breath can be cured by feeding Hamster ice water with apple slices and screaming a secret into the cup, which he does. Hamster and Kevin then find La Cebolla's lair, where she reveals her grand master plan to have every onion in the world burst, but the onions do not like this plan and retreat to whence they came. Gretel defeats La Cebolla, who is promptly taken into police custody. Kevin wonders what La Cebolla meant when she said that she received her powers from "a light from the sky," but he and Gretel brush it off when the latter reminds him of how ridiculous her power was. The episode then ends with the aliens that gave Hamster and Gretel their powers lamenting the fact that their latest experiment was a failure.

Trivia[]
- This episode aired on Disney+ before its TV premiere.
- Kevin is wondering about La Cebolla's origin of getting powers from the sky, but does not yet suspect the aliens being behind it.
- At the end of the episode, it is revealed that the reason the aliens gave Hamster and Gretel and other people powers is because this is all a experiment of their unknown goal.
- But judging what the aliens said about La Cebolla, the latest one they gave powers and failed, apparently the part of their goal is to have someone defeat Hamster and Gretel which no one has managed yet.
