Recap:
In her early adult years, Clover left the Totally Spies and WOOHP. Though she and Blaine had broken up, she could no longer look past Jerry's willingness to sacrifice agents for whatever better good he had planned.
Years later, after graduating from Arts School and living in London, on a visit back to LA, Clover discovers Blaine is alive, Helga is back, and Sam in engaged! To a newly reformed Tim Scam of all people ! Alex replaces Jerry's WOOHP heir Sam, behind the desk and wishes to be back in action.
Long story short. They save Blaine (who was a prisoner), Helga vanishes (or dies) and Britney had turned betrayed the gang only to regret her actions and be brainwashed by Terry and his LAMOS crew. Saved, she is still currently held in the WOOHP prison for her rehabilitation.
Sam and Tim get married, Clover and a wheelchair bound Blaine slowly rekindle their romance, and Alex is finally free to go back on missions, with Sam learning the ropes from Jerry.
Clover cautiously returns to WOOHP.

"Okay so someone tell me WHY we're having this sleepover again?" Clover demanded, pouting at the thought of sleeping on the floor rather than her glamorous King sized bed.
"Uh hello!"
"Clover!"
She watched her two best friends roam around their old Malibu beach house, now owned by Sam and her (weird) fiancé Tim. Sam was in a usual green robe her hair down, Alex in a comfortable yet cute red shirt and yellow shorts, her hair too short to style it in any particular way. Sam was laying out comfortable blankets and colorful pillows beside their old fish tank, Alex cradling a gigantic bucket of popcorn, struggling to place another yet popped one next to the microwave.
Alex danced with her arms full, never dexterous when she needed to be.
"Come on Clover!" She moaned, wishing either of the women would come help her. Neither did. "Tomorrow is your first day back at WOOHP! We have to celebrate that!"
Clover folded her arms, pleased nonetheless at the fabric of her new cute ocean themed summer pjs. Seashells and turtles and jellyfish (and sparkles) oh my!
"I wonder what kind of boring paperwork slash administrative day our sous-chef Samantha has in store for us." She grimaced, stealing a glance at the suddenly indignant redhead.
"Hey!" She said "I'm returning as Jerry's right hand tomorrow as well. Tomorrow is also my first day back! Of sorts …" She trailed off.
Clover and Alex chuckled.
"And next month," they sang in unison, "You're getting married!"
Sam blushed as red as her hair.
"Ahem ladies," she coughed, "One thing at a time. Tonight." She smiled, pulling bottles of margarita and tequila mixes seemingly out of nowhere, "we party!"
To amp up the nostalgia, the girls played all of their favorite bands (Ricky Mathis, Way no Way etc…) and danced around in each other's arms, cherishing their past and present, their now and their youth.
Taking shots at cheesy romantic lines in their favorite movies, talking about past boyfriends and current loves (they stayed clearly from Blaine as the subject was still too blurry to determine), oohing and awing (and a few blehs from Clover) as Sam recounted the blooming love between Scam and her.
"The Bridge effect or something!" Clover tipsily declared, "You saved his life so the feelings of danger and excitement Scam had were confused with love!"
"For several years?" Sam pouted, knowing her friend meant nothing malicious.
"Powerful effect." Alex added with a hiccup.
"Yeah to the point he would roll on the floor to propose!" Clover laughed as she rolled on the floor.
Clearly, the ladies were far gone in their partying.
A regret that came quickly the next day when they were cruelly WOOHPed in their sleep, waking up to the terrifyingly long and steep tunnels. They landed with a thud on a new, larger and more glamorous couch. All three moaned, each holding their heads and stomachs.
"WHY!" Clover demanded in the loudest voice she could muster. Which was not very loud.
Jerry raised an eyebrow at them.
"Hungover on your first day back. I must say I'm surprised at you Sam and Clover."
"What about Alex?" Sam moaned. Technically Alex was still Jerry's second in command.
Jerry turned, as did the two woman. Alex somehow, was still fast asleep.
He chuckled.
"Since it is your first day, but your second first day, I thought i would cut you a little slack."
"By giving us a roller coaster ride after a night of drinking?" Clover whispered.
"By making you sign your papers now, getting your X-powders back. New and improved of course. And your new uniforms. After that I leave you all day to shop or nurse your hangovers or go to the beach. Whatever it is you wish to do."
Clover was shocked into silence. Of course their first day being a friday was a little weird, but WOOHP had done much weirder things before.
"Are you serious?" Sam asked.
"Yes," Jerry smiled. "You two and Alex of course, who is being reassigned onto active mission duty."
"YAY!" They shrieked in harmony, their headaches suddenly forgotten. Alex woke up with a start, grumpy to have been disturbed.
It was a beautiful and sunny weekend, and the women could think of nothing but to celebrate the new chapter in their lives by, of course, eating sushi and shopping.
As Sam bent over to pick up a discarded piece of trash (hello the garbage was right there!) Clover stopped to look at her reflection in the window, not sure what she was expecting to see. A change? The same? She trembled as a strange cold wind hit her. Easily forgotten as Alex wrapped her arms around her. Maybe just a powerful AC.
