Clover’s Big Lie—and Her Secret Passion
Clover is trying to keep up a huge lie for her mom, Professor Dion, claiming she’s on the “pre-med” track because her mother is a famous earlobe-contouring surgeon. But Clover secretly loves fashion design and spends her time learning “earlobe volume” and practicing disguises to keep the story straight.
The Campus Cat Lab Disruption
Clover’s day falls apart when she volunteers at the campus cat lab with Professor Dion. There, she meets Alex and the others, and the plot spirals into global spy chaos. At a whoop-spy convention in Italy, the team witnesses shocking changes to famous landmarks, including:
- Mount Rushmore with cat faces
- The Leaning Tower, covered in carpet like a giant cat tower
They also spot suspicious gadget tech—like chameleon eyeshadow and platform shoes—that helps agents blend in as they chase clues.
The Mystery: Cat DNA in a “Claw” Sample
As Alex and the group investigate, they track the source to a “claw” sample containing both human and cat DNA. The human source is revealed to be Professor Dion herself—meaning the “friendly professor” is behind the worldwide cat-themed sabotage.
The evidence points to a cat DNA–infused serum stored in cryogenic containment. Dion uses it to begin turning people into “cat people.”
The Water Line Plan and the Hairball Trap
The confrontation escalates quickly. Dion’s plan is to deploy the serum through a campus water line, so the sprinklers activate and everyone transforms.
Alex and Clover scramble to stop her while navigating goofy cat-themed obstacles. One major low-key terrifying (and painfully funny) moment:
Clover and Alex get tangled in a “giant hairball” trap and have to fight their way out.
They use gadgets like:
- solid iron hair gel (turning hair into a weapon)
- comedic “cat timeout” energy to subdue Dion’s takeover
Final Confrontation and the Family Twist
Eventually, Alex defeats Dion and the serum plot is shut down.
The story then lands back on Clover’s personal arc: she rushes home worried her mom will discover her real fashion major. Instead of punishing her, Professor Dion supports her—celebrating Clover’s passion and even joking about loving hemlines more than earlobes.
Clover ends the story relieved, with a promise to share her interests openly.

- Dion’s creepy-yet-funny reveal, complete with “whiskers” on her lip and the absurdly serious cat DNA serum in a fancy cryogenic fridge.

- The ending resolution joke: Clover’s mom accepts fashion design as a heartwarming “whatever makes you happy” outcome.
