For Skye, the smallest member of the team, her new powers are a dream come true. But things take a turn for the worse when the pups’ archrival Humdinger breaks out of jail and teams up with Victoria Vance, a meteor-obsessed mad scientist, to steal the superpowers and turn themselves into supervillains. With the fate of Adventure City hanging in the balance, the Mighty Pups have to stop the supervillains before it’s too late, and Skye will need to learn that even the smallest pup can make the biggest difference.

First, the idiotic Minister of Space gleefully runs to and greets astronaut Sun-woo as he gets off the plane bringing him home to Korea. Next, Sun-woo returns the stuffed animal back to Lee Sang-won’s son, who asks him if his dad really is on the moon. Son-woo answers yes, then gives Sang-won’s wife the picture with their new baby’s name written on the back. It’s her name, written backwards.
Later, Kim Jae-guk and his intern are getting ready to entertain a bunch of kids visiting their observatory. While checking out a mock spacesuit, they see an announcement on the news that Jae-guk’s ex, Yoon Moon-young, has been named the new director of NASA. Later, Jae-guk greets the kids and is upset when they run to the person in the spacesuit and start yanking the tubes out. The intern suddenly appears, and Jae-guk is surprised and wonders who’s in the suit. The astronaut removes the helmet to reveal that it’s Sun-woo, who greets Jae-guk with a salute.
