"South By
Southwest"
As a result of endless challenges to fight, pro wrestler turned actor Tyler
Mane calls on V.I.P. for help. When an appearance at a gathering of middle aged
women voters force Tasha and Quick to calm the unruly crowd, Tyler seeks refuge
in a waiting limousine where a militia leader named Fallon mistakes him for
a Kessler, federal agent who has been causing his Red Coyote organization trouble.
Yet, what Fallon doesn't know is that Kessler is a fiction dreamt up by the
FBI to draw him into the open.
Following an attempt by the Red Coyotes to gun him down, Tyler is sure it was
just a coincidence, while Tasha and Quick suspect foul play. As Fallon's underlings
continue their pursuit and the Bureau's Agent Darman refuses to call off the
ruse, the militiamen make another attempt on Tyler's life. But when Tyler's
bodyguards commandeer a nearby van to make a getaway, they end up abandoned
in the middle of nowhere. And after Quick and Tasha set up a makeshift alarm
system that will alert them to the approach of any intruders, Darman and partner
arrive to tell them about the ruse and persuade Tyler to continue playing along.
With Kessler slated to make an appearance at a charity event at Foam, Fallon
assembles his team for one last strike. At the charity talent contest, Darman
spots the militiamen and alerts Quick and Tasha. However, when Tyler cannot
resist the urge to show off his tap dancing skills, he unwittingly places himself
in the line of fire. So, to protect him, Quick dons a pair of tap shoes and
joins Tyler on stage. And when Fallon and his men move in for the attack, Val
does her best to calm the audience and Tyler risks his own safety to help out
as the FBI and V.I.P. swoop down for an arrest.
"Millennium
Man"
While guarding a high profile, movie star client, Val and Quick get caught up
in an encounter with rival bodyguard Adam Fowler. Suspecting one of Fowler's
men of using an herbal elixir that makes him nearly invincible, Quick tracks
down former Chinese Nationalist soldier who tells how Dalco Pharmaceuticals
bought the recipe for an ancient healing compound known as Boh Chi. And when
Nikki discovers that the superhuman goon, Trey, is an old friend from the Marine
Corps who was severely disabled in a training accident years ago, news that
Fowler once worked for Dalco leads V.I.P. to suspect that he now has the formula,
too.
At Fowler's office, Nikki and Tasha are first told that Trey no longer works
there. Refusing to take his word for it, they do a little investigating on their
own and find that Fowler is using Trey to demonstrate the drug's effectiveness
to potential buyers. But their rescue effort is cut short when Trey attacks
Nikki. And after learning that the drug has made her old friend unstable, Nikki
is determined to get him to safety before it kills him.
Insisting that Nikki is too personally involved, Tasha, Quick and Johnny force
to stay behind as they make their way into Fowler's compound. But when Fowler's
Boh Chi-enhanced guards capture the trio, it's up to Nikki and Val to bail them
out. Using the potion on herself, Nikki heads for the compound. And when Val
accidentally injects herself, too, the two women take advantage of their increased
strength and speed to battle Fowler's men. Finally, with her friends rescued
and Fowler stopped, Nikki helps Trey recover from the effects of the Boh Chi.
"Holy Val"
In order to provide security at their exhibit of a priceless extraterrestrial
artifact that is a focus of their spiritual movement, the Centaurians hire V.I.P.
As the exhibition's opening exposes serious differences between the movement's
Spiritual Guide, Rygel, and its Executive Director, Kamin, Val and her team
make plans to protect the jewel encrusted obelisk. Already having installed
a state of the art security system, Kamin makes it clear that he's hired V.I.P.
to provide crowd control for the exhibition. However, after noted international
thief Bobby Perez is spotted casing the exhibit, Val offers round the clock
protection.
With Quick and Nikki assigned to guard the Centauri, Maxine and Val set out
to cash in by selling souvenirs. But as they are using their access to take
some photos of the obelisk, Perez's clever circumvention of the security system
allows his team to steal the Centauri and, in the process, kidnap Val to his
mountain resort hideout. Managing to escape her captors, Val is then reunited
with her V.I.P. team. Meanwhile, tensions intensify as Rygel accuses Kamin of
putting profits ahead of the group's spiritual purpose. And unknown to anyone
but a small circle of followers, Rygel has booby-trapped the Centauri with a
canister of deadly nerve gas.
Having sealed off the building to everyone, including themselves, V.I.P. tracks
down Rygel to gain access. But when the Spiritual Leader chooses suicide over
disarming his deadly time bomb, Tasha and Val recruit the only person who could
possibly get inside - Perez. With his help, Nikki gains access to the building
where the booby-trapped Centauri is waiting to go off. But her chances at defusing
the nerve gas bomb are hampered by Val's bumbling. Yet, once Nikki does dismantle
the bomb, a pair of Centaurians intent on stealing the bejeweled obelisk appear.
But when Perez decides to carry out his original plan, its left to Val and her
robotic pet dog to give V.I.P. the drop on all the thieves.
"Chasing Anna"
While returning from a date, Quick and Anna Petrov are saved from a kidnapping
by Johnny's timely arrival. That's when Quick discovers that not only do Anna
and Johnny know each other, but that they've been dating, too. Setting aside
their differences for now, Quick and Johnny agree to protect Anna, while over
at the Kazbayan consulate, General Volikov, the chief of the country's secret
police, meets with the masterminds behind the failed kidnapping, Krupin and
Brevich. As Volikov plots Anna's murder, another failed effort to kidnap her,
this time by a royal sentinel of the country's deposed monarchy, reveals that
Anna is the daughter of Kazbayan's late king and the rightful heir to the country's
throne. Meanwhile, Val sets out to help Nikki pass her driver's license exam.
Told that she was sent to America by her parents to protect from a coup, Anna
is asked to return home to reclaim the throne from Kazbayan's corrupt dictatorship.
Mistaking Nikki's driving examiner for an American intelligence contact, Volikov,
Krupin and Brevich follow her hoping to learn something of V.I.P.'s plans for
Anna. And as Quick and Johnny team up to infiltrate the Kazbayan consulate compound,
Anna tells the Sentinel that she is prepared to return home and lead her people
in an uprising against the government - but not before killing Volikov herself.
So, after giving both Quick and Johnny the slip, Anna sneaks away in pursuit
of the general. But when Anna stops him just as he is about to kill Nikki, she
cannot keep Volikov from killing the Sentinel and taking her prisoner.
With the Sentinel dead and Anna missing, Quick and Johnny team up to get to
the bottom of her disappearance. Just as Nikki passes her driving test, word
that Anna is at the consulate sends her, Val and the driving examiner speeding
to the rescue. As Volikov is planning Anna's untimely demise, Kay surreptitiously
uses the consulate's security cameras to guide Quick, Johnny and Tasha inside.
Once Val and Nikki arrive and V.I.P.'s assault on the compound turns into a
rout, Volikov and Krupin are sure having Anna as their hostage will insure their
escape, until Nikki's fancy, though illegal, driving saves the princess's life.
Finally, with Anna returned to the throne, Johnny and Quick continue to compete
for her affection.
"21 Val Street"
With undercover cop and Foam's bartender Relic nowhere to be found, V.I.P. suspects
something is amiss - especially after a bomb destroys his illegally parked car.
When a search of the car's charred remains turns up a class schedule, Val and
her team head for North Los Angeles University where they find him posing as
a student. And though he first tries to deny knowing them, a botched assassination
attempt forces Relic to reveal he's investigating a bookmaking operation controlled
by the elusive Hans Lamal.
Because Lamal always sends a back up shooter to make sure his hits succeed,
Relic's life is still in danger. With Johnny and Kay going undercover as college
students, Val, Maxine, Nikki and Tasha pose as faculty members, all to guard
Relic as he shadows Kenny Farmer, the student who's in charge of Lamal's campus
gambling operation. At a frat party, Tasha heads off another attempt on Relic's
life by a killer disguised as a college co-ed while, posing as the hit man,
Quick successfully infiltrates Lamal's organization. Yet, when Farmer gets suspicious
after a magazine photo exposes Val, Quick is sent to kill Relic and his bodyguards
-- unaware that he's also been marked for death.
Although Relic insists that Val and her friends let him finish the assignment
alone, V.I.P. refuses to back down. And when Farmer accosts Tasha, she learns
that he's actually been posing as Lamal after murdering the mobster in order
to take over his crime syndicate. Killing a henchman to prove he's serious,
Farmer then tries forcing V.I.P.'s hand by taking Val hostage. But when he finds
that the woman he's grabbed is actually Relic in disguise, Farmer bolts, only
to be apprehended following a high-speed chase and fiery crash. Finally, Kay
stays around the college just long enough to exact revenge on some malicious
sorority sisters.
