==Synopsis==
Strange flights shake Singapore and all indicators point to the [[Slob]], who is already in prison. The spies will have to temporarily ally with the criminal queen of disorder to find her double criminal.

In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subplot B-story], Alex wants to borrow one of [[AIYA Academy|AIYA]]'s high-tech cleaner bots to clean up her and the girls' new apartment above the [[Bubble Spy Cafe]], but the librarian doesn't allow her to. AIYA's coach Jon Hu had agreed to meet Alex at home to have her trained, but their apartment is a mess (mostly because of Clover). In the end, Jon had to cancel their meeting after dropping her car keys down a drain, and an upset Alex leaves to help her. And as if things could not get worse, [[Mandy]] has moved to Singapore and enrolled at AIYA, much to the girls' rage.
