Synopis[]
Alpha is back and his alien attachments are falling apart. At first, he forces Jeebs to locate new body parts for him, but when he discovers that Troy the symbiote is at MIB, his plans change.
Plot[]
The episode begins at Jeeb's shop where a mysterious figure visits the place. Jeebs is handed a list, detailing items what Jeebs presumed to be weapons. However, the figure corrects him that they're actually body parts; alien body parts before revealing himself to be Alpha. Jeebs, like the coward he is, willingly complies to get them rather than face his customer's wrath.
At MIB Headquarters, Zed reintroduces Troy to Jay and Kay, informing them that the alien symbiote has become an agent-in-training and would need to learn the basic skills. Jay volunteers and Troy bonds with him again. The agents and their trainee receives an emergency call from an alien family who reported that they are being stalked.
After a brief but whacky chase sequence, the agents take the family into protective custody. Unbeknownst to them, the stalker, actually Jeebs, reports to Alpha about Troy. Luring them into a trap, Alpha captures Troy and bonds with him, giving Alpha the symbiote's super regenerative abilities. While attempting to rescue Troy, Jay gets seriously injured in the attempt.
With Jay incapacitated, Kay takes Elle to confront Alpha. Meanwhile, Jay meets with Troy's mother and the two worked together to save him. Alpha takes care of Kay and Elle before fighting Jay and Troy's mother. Although the two forces are evenly matched for a while, Alpha gets the upper hand. Troy's mother bonds with Alpha but double the regeneration powers allows Alpha's captured aliens to regain their bodies and Alpha explodes. Troy and the aliens are free but when everyone is ready to take down Alpha, the former agent is gone.
At MIB HQ, Troy is asked to heal an alien who lost his arm. Unbeknownst to them, Alpha has attached the arm to himself before disappearing into the night, preparing to face MIB once more.
