[edit] Overview
A buff 21 tries to find the truth behind 24's death by kidnapping Hank and Dean. An allergic reaction to a fancy salad sends the Monarch into a rage. Dr. Venture and Sgt. Hatred prove to be more or less inept at rescuing the boys, though not for lack of trying. And a mysterious stranger seems to be keeping tabs on 21...

[edit] Fun Facts
- One of the backup titles for 21's revenge plot is "An Eye for an I." which is a reference to Exodus 21:24[1].
- The three sea monsters argued over at the beginning of the episode are The Lochness Monster (famously living in Loch Ness, in Scotland), Champ (living in Lake Champlain, in America), and Ogopogo, an alleged pleisiosaur living in Okanagan Lake, British Columbia, Canada.
- While torturing the Venture brothers, 21 makes reference to himself possibly being various creatures of the boys' delusions. Among them, he mentions centaurs (a man with the lower half of a horse, from Greek myth), Sin-Eater (a Marvel comics villain of Spider-Man and The Punisher), and Wolverine (the famous protagonist of Marvel comics).
- One of the phrases Hatred confuses the security guard robot with is "Enjoy the silence", a title of song by Depeche Mode.
- "A Town Called Malice" is the title of a song by The Jam.
