After becoming the Queen and discovering that the serum to give Thomas and Lucy intelligence is actually highly dangerous, Cathy will not let Steed use it on them anymore. But there are also bigger problems. Grandma informs Steed and Cathy that the international version of SCAR, known as SCARE (the Society for Chaos And Ransack Everywhere), are attacking London. Steed and Cathy eventually discover that an old nemesis of theirs, Mr Teddy Bear, is leading SCARE, so they enlist the help of two agents from Steed's organisation, Purdey and Gambit. Along the way, they find the A-Team, whom Cathy tries to apprehend, a paranoid architect called David Vincent is hired to expand Grand Steed Manor (formerly Buckingham Palace), and The Avengers find an unlikely ally in an old enemy of Gambit's, Commander James Bond.
