Meanwhile, Hamster and Kevin decide to get haircuts at a fancy French salon.
Veronica decides that she will quit, but Gretel and Bailey convince her otherwise, giving her the confidence to congratulate Philtrum. However, Gretel has a superhero hunch and discovers that Philtrum has been possessed by Van Dyke. After a battle, Veronica has a sit-down interview with Van Dyke, during which she deduces that this is all part of a world-domination plot. As Van Dyke possesses numerous people, including Bailey, Hamster and Kevin intervene, with Hamster defeating Van Dyke by placing him in a hair salon machine and having Kevin set it to the highest setting.
