Olly's resurfacing makes Tommy concerned Raja has another master plan, but it is soon revealed the threat that made Olly come out of hiding is the mysterious Mr. Chang, whose supernatural nature, though still unexplained, scares Olly. Leslie and Quincy are, meanwhile, using everything at their disposal to stop Tapp and Tracy from finding out what it is the Cerberus are searching for, which makes them the top priority on Bobby's list. TT is searching for Seven, having found out he is actually his old friend Ali, but Lana is not sure Seven is the same person TT once knew. The blonde man, whose name is revealed to be Matthew, seems to agree with her and tries to forcefully stop TT's search, all the while Aleksander and Peter continue their war within the Cerberus, which they are both now working for. Far from all of this, but closer than one might think, Chips somehow ends up in Russia and seeks help from Vasily, stating someone is after him. Boris and Anton are suspicious, but it is soon revealed that Chips is on the Cerberus' radar, and that the one chasing him is none other than his abusive adoptive father Jordan. Boba and Conan, meanwhile, find love?
