The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Rusty is summoned by the military to a South American country in revolution because of its leader, Venturestein. The X-1 is attacked by a Pteranodon and Hank is separated from Rusty and Hatred, who are captured by Venturestein's men. Venturestein explains that after being sent to destabilize the revolution, he ended up joining it and freeing other tortured science experiments. He uses the tablet the military gave Rusty to broadcast his message of revolt to experiments around the world, and refuses to kill Rusty when his comrades demand it. Hank begins to frighten the revolutionaries when he dresses up like a bat and begins killing them, and they try to kill Rusty and Hatred, who escape with Hank to the beach.

A congresswoman that has been trying to get ahold of Rusty so he can vote for her lands in the middle of the conflict and tries to get everyone's attention, only to be killed when she triggers the dropped tablet's explosive function. Post-credits scene: While Rusty watches the rebuilt congresswoman speak on TV, Hank and Dermott try to practice with H.E.L.P.eR., annoyed that Dean rebuilt his body but reduced his drumming ability in the process.
