Synopsis[]

Momakase blackmails Hiro into helping her steal a mysterious item from Yama's safe, threatening to tell Chief Cruz Big Hero 6's secret identities if he doesn't help her.

Plot[]

The episode begins with Big Hero 6 clashing against Momakase and her partner. The team tail Momakase's ally as Wasabi fights Momakase. After the partner dispatches Fred and dodges Go Go and Honey's attacks, Momakase prepares the final blow on Wasabi. To Momakase's surprise, her partner turns on her and saves Wasabi. The team takes advantage of the distraction to trap the partner and remove his mask, revealing his identity: Hiro.

Hiro explains the whole story and the scene shifts forty-eight hours earlier at Joe's Diner. During Hiro's lunch date with Megan Cruz, Megan was distracted by the slow progress on her Big Hero 6 investigation. After receiving a text from Chief Cruz that Momakase escaped from prison, Megan decides to change the subject and invites Hiro to a movie. At that moment, Fred (in his Fredmeleon suit) summons Hiro to a mandatory meeting, forcing Hiro to leave Megan. At Frederickson Candy Co., the team tries tracking Momakase with Basemax, only to turn up without a trace due to Momakase taking precaution. Big Hero 6 decide to head out on night patrol despite their relations with Cruz and the SFPD. Meanwhile, Megan analyzes the relationship between Alistair Krei and Momakase and sets out to interview Krei. Krei denies associations with the heroes, and when Megan presses for more, Krei forces her out. As Megan leaves, she notices Hiro's picture among Krei's employees and takes a picture of it for her conspiracy wall.

After an unsuccessful night patrol, Hiro heads to the garage to fix the Fredmeleon suit where he encounters Momakase waiting for him. Reminding him she learned about their identities from her employer, Momakase forces Hiro's cooperation in helping her with a mission.

At SFIT, Megan interviews Professor Granville. As before, Granville feigns confusion of Big Hero 6 and sends Megan out. Meanwhile, Momakase explains her plot of breaking into Mr. Yama's headquarters to Hiro, and needs Hiro's technological expertise to figure out how to shut down the security within two days. At San Fransokyo Prison, Cruz interrogates Robert Callaghan on Big Hero 6, to which Callaghan consents. Cruz inquires if the Big Hero 6 are vigilantes, but Callaghan tells Cruz Big Hero 6 saved two lives that day, Krei and his daughter. Callaghan then tells Cruz his belief that the heroes are vigilantes is wrong and withholds questioning. In her room, Megan begins to put the pieces together when Cruz appears. Megan hugs her father before he leaves, covertly swiping his phone and then listens to Cruz's interview with Callaghan, where she learns of Yokai's role in the fire that took Tadashi Hamada's life.

In the alleys, Hiro meets up with Momakase and provides her a Flexible Display Technology mask. Using Hiro's sonic gloves and the masks' invisibility, he and Momakase storm Yama's place and disable both the cameras and thugs. Meanwhile, the rest of the team watch a news report of Cruz releasing Yama for the investigation right when Basemax alerts them she has detected Momakase. Sensing something is amiss, Big Hero 6 head to Yama's headquarters. Once Hiro and Momakase enter Yama's office, Momakase retrieves what she was looking for—a pair of Daishō swords. After exiting, Momakase explains the blades are her family's heirloom traded away years ago for their protection from gangsters. Hiro briefly sympathizes with her; suddenly, Yama confronts the two. The two incapacitate Yama before heading out, where Big Hero 6 confronts them at the beginning of the episode.

Having brought the team up to speed, Hiro apologizes for misleading them, but the team forgives him as they understand why he did what he did in that situation. Just then, the police arrive looking for the heroes. Momakase stays behind to lead them away in gratitude for Hiro's help. After Momakase takes off with the police, the team regroup at headquarters relieved that their identities are safe. Meanwhile, Megan has connected all of Big hero 6's cases tracing to Hiro.
