The next morning Steed went over to Emma's apartment, he knocked on the door and Emma answers it and lets him in. Emma was dressed in her robe as she yawns as she appeared to have just woken up
"It appears that I have awaken you Mrs. Peel" said Steed
"Oh no Steed I'm always up this time of morning" she joked
"I'm here because I just came from headquarters and mother is not pleased about the fact that we let the Green Hornet slipped from our grasp" said Steed
"Steed, the Green Hornet helped save our lives last night when we were on that dreadful chessboard" said Emma
"That was self preservation Mrs. Peel, the Hornet was trying to save his own bum. We caught him plotting with the enemy, I know you want to believe that he's some kind of Robin hood, but he's not he is very dangerous criminal mastermind." He said
"You're right Steed, I just got caught up in mystique of his mask and charm" said Emma
"Well I'm here to tell you that you've been invited to the Embassy ball, and you will be escorting the guest of honor Britt Reid" said Steed
"Why me" Emma asked
"Well Mother feels this is good way for us to keep a close eye on him and protect him from our adversaries who want to hurt him" said Steed
At Britt's house Britt had woken up from being unable to sleep because of the pain in his shoulder, he noticed the blood on his shirt as the wound was bleeding again. He called Kato and he examined the wound and decided to sew it, he gets the sewing kit and sewed the wound closed. Britt looked in mirror at the wound and was pleased
"This looks good Kato, where did you learn this" he asked
"It's an old Japanese samurai skill used to treat wounded samurais" said Kato
Casey walks in with an envelope and gives it to Britt, he opens it and reads it
"What does it say Mister Britt?" asked Kato
"It's an invitation to the Embassy Ball" he responded
"Sounds very exciting a real British Ball" said Casey
"Yes Miss Case, and I also been assigned an escort Mrs. Emma Peel" said Britt
"Mrs. Peel is your date" said Casey sounding a little disappointed"
"I assume that this is Steed and Peel's way of keeping an eye on me to protect me" said Britt
"This sounds like a plot out of a Ian Fleming novel" Casey joked
"I will get your tuxedo ready" said Kato as he leaves the room
Britt watched Casey as he sensed that she was jealous, he goes over to try to ease her concerns
"No need to be jealous Miss Case, there's nothing romantic going on tonight" he said
"Let me tell you something Mr. Reid, I am not jealous and the fact that you think I'm some kind of lovesick teenager? Then you need to get over yourself!" Yelled Casey as she storms off
Kato comes back in to the room noticing the tension
"What happened?" he asked
"You don't want to know" Britt responded
"I can't help but worry that there's something terrible waiting to happen tonight" said Kato concerned
"Don't worry Kato, I'll be fine as long as our two spy friends protecting me" said Britt
"So this means that the Green Hornet is sitting this one out?" asked Kato
"Yes it does, oh Kato would you keep an eye on Miss Case?" he asked
"Sure, be careful Mister Britt" said Kato
