The five o'clock alarm clock went off in Gru's Room. Gru woke up and got dressed. He had to go to the AVL very early today. In Balthazar's Room, Balthazar and Fritz woke up.

Balthazar: It felt so weird. I was a minion, but I still had my hair, mustache, shirt, and keytar. I was just smaller.

Fritz: I see that. Did you like being a minion?

Balthazar: It was fun and all, but I'm glad that things are back to normal.

Lucy walked in.

Lucy: Not everything. I still don't have my job back.

Fritz: What happened?

Lucy: Well when you took the girls to Fire Island and everywhere else except for camp, I got fired from the AVL.

Balthazar: Dru's fault. You don't know Dru enough do you?

Fritz: Well I'm actually his butler.

Balthazar: Oh yeah. I forgot.

Gru walked out of the house, went into his Grumobile, and drove off. Lucy heard the car.

Lucy: What was that?

The girls walked over.

Edith: The Grumobile?

Margo: What?

Agnes: I think that was the Grumobile.

Lucy sighed. Dru slid down the railing and thanks to the brace that Dr. Nefario made for him, he didn't trip.

Dru: Hey Lucy.

Lucy: Hey Dru.

Dru: Where's Gru?

Lucy: He went to the AVL.

Dru: Oh.

When Gru got to the AVL entrance, he put his ID on and walked in.

Gru: Valerie?

Valerie saw Gru and smiled at him.

Valerie: There you are Agent Gru. How's my favorite agent today?

Gru: Fine. Wait, did Silas tell you that you can't favor an agent?

Valerie: Yes. The two of us aren't talking to each other. We both don't like our rules. He hates that I fired former Agent Lucy Wilde and I hate his behavior towards you.

Gru: Is it just me or are you both favoriting different agents? I mean you like having me here and Mr. Ramsbottom likes Lucy.

Valerie: Well it is true, but don't worry. I'm not going to ruin your relationship with her.

Gru: Okay.

Valerie: But Scarlet's obsession with your friend Balthazar is out of control.

Gru: What happened?

Valerie: Two weeks ago, one of our agents found an Evil Bratt action figure in her castle and she's been playing The Lady In Red and she put a microphone by the action figure. Making it look like the toy is singing to her.

Gru: Yeah that's weird.

Valerie: Want to see the video?

Gru: Full screen.

Gru and Valerie watched the video about Scarlet.

Gru: Yep. That's Scarlet. She's becoming a nut job.

Valerie: You need to stop her. They're planning a trap for Balthazar.

Gru: I will.

Valerie: You have your weapons?

Gru: Yes.

Valerie: Good luck Agent Gru.

Gru: Thanks.

Valerie's phone vibrated. She took her phone out and saw a text that she did not like.

Valerie: Unbelievable! Ugh! Okay!

Valerie texted the person back.

Gru: Who are you yelling at?

Valerie: Silas Ramsbottom.

Gru: Why are you yelling at Mr. Ramsbottom?

Valerie: He can't stand you! I hate that! You're the best agent.

Gru: We have opinions. Not everyone has to like me.

Valerie: Everyone hated you. Even I hated you. Well not anymore, but I used to.

Then Valerie's phone rang. Valerie looked at the number and saw that it was Silas on the phone.

Valerie: Oh great. Now what!?

Valerie picked the phone up.

Silas: Miss Valerie Da Vinci, we need to talk now!

Valerie: Then get over here!

Silas and Valerie hung up. Valerie growled.

Gru: Well I'm going to the villains.

Gru left the AVL. Two hours later, he came back with only one villain, Scarlet Overkill. Vector, El Macho, and Herb escaped.

Gru: Get in here!

Scarlet growled.

Scarlet: Did you have to put lime green paint all over my red dress?

Gru: Yes. Valerie, I'm back and I got Scarlet, but the others escaped.

Silas was at the AVL.

Silas: You let them get away!?

Gru: Yes, but I….

Silas: Mr. Gru!

Valerie: Hey! You leave him alone!

Silas: He let Vector, El Macho, Herb, and Balthazar escape!

Valerie: Balthazar is no longer a villain! Agent Gru reformed him.

Gru: Yes. That's true.

Scarlet: So, um, can I leave?

Gru, Valerie, and Silas: No!

Scarlet sighed.

Silas: You had to fire Agent Wilde!

Valerie: She ruined everything!

Silas: It wasn't her fault! It was Agent Gru's brother!

Gru: Who am I talking to here? Kevin and Mel?

Silas: I can't believe you fired Agent Wilde!

Valerie: I can't believe you still hate Agent Gru!

Gru: I can't believe we're still talking about this.

Valerie: Agent Gru, how about you fill in some paperwork? To get your mind off this.

Gru: Okay.

Gru walked to his desk.

Valerie: This is all your fault!

Silas: This is all your fault!

Gru growled.

Gru: What is going on with those two? They're like Kevin and Mel, but ten times worse.

Gru sighed.

Gru: I hope Lucy's having a better day.

Lucy was at Gru's House. She groaned.

Lucy: I can't take it anymore!

Edith: What's going on Lucy?

Lucy: I've been stuck in this house for weeks!

Margo: Well we live in this house.

Lucy: But we can't stay in this house all day.

Agnes: We did it during the week of July 23rd. Wait, we didn't.

Edith: We didn't. We took advantage of Fritz.

Margo: I remember. We just busted.

Lucy sighed. Dru walked in.

Dru: What do you have? Cabin fever?

Agnes: Who's got a fever?

Dru: No. Cabin fever is when you can't stay in the house anymore.

Edith: Yeah.

Margo: I'm surprised that Balthazar doesn't have cabin fever.

Fritz: Yeah. He's always hiding in his room.

Lucy: Well this is different. His life is under attack, I'm not. I need my job back.

Dru: Oh Lucy. I am so sorry.

Lucy: I don't want to talk about it.

Balthazar slid down the stairs and started singing Borderline by Madonna.

Balthazar: Borderline!

Edith: You got into another song?

Balthazar: Yeah. So what's up?

Margo: Lucy's still upset about losing her job.

At the AVL, Gru sighed.

Valerie: Nice job Silas! Never blame Agent Gru ever again!

Silas: Valerie I don't want to hear it!

Valerie: Look I know that I fired Agent Wilde, but don't take it on Agent Gru.

Silas: Take what?

Valerie: Your anger. Don't take your anger on Agent Gru!

Gru: Can we please stop talking about this? I've got to stop the other villains. We only have Scarlet.

Scarlet took out her Evil Bratt action figure and sighed.

Scarlet: Balthazar.

Gru: You're not going to get him!

Valerie: Well? I'm waiting. When will you stop blaming Agent Gru!?

Silas: Once you rehire Agent Wilde!

Valerie growled.

Valerie: I wish I can fire you.

Silas: So do I!

Gru: Okay can we stop now? We still need to catch Vector, El Macho, and Herb.

Valerie: Agent Gru, you will. After I give Silas a piece of my mind!

Silas: Now if I give you a piece of my mind first!

Gru groaned.

Gru: Come on! Maybe the two of you need to be in each other's shoes for one day. Why does that sound like a movie that Margo saw on August tenth?

Silas stared at Valerie.

Valerie: What are you doing?

Silas: Staring at you!

Valerie: Not if I stare at you first!

Silas and Valerie: Staring contest!

Gru sighed.

Gru: Really? This is stupid. I've got to stop the villains.

Silas and Valerie: Not now Agent Gru!

Gru growled and left. The villains were walking around outside. Vector was hiding behind a tree.

Vector: See him?

El Macho: 80s guy?

Vector: No. Gru.

El Macho: Oh. Herb, see Gru?

Vector: Herb?

Herb looked at a picture of Scarlet and himself together on his phone.

Herb: How can I be the body double of Balthazar? I look nothing like the guy.

Vector and El Macho: Herb!

Herb: Oh. Sorry. I don't see Gru.

Vector: Well where could he be?

Gru showed up behind the villains.

Gru: Right behind you.

Vector, El Macho, and Herb gasped.

Vector: Oh no.

Gru grabbed the three villains.

Gru: Let's go!

El Macho: We're busted.

Vector: Yeah. I know.

Herb sighed.

Herb: I wish that Scarlet loved me who I am without dressing up as Balthazar. She's my lady in red.

El Macho and Vector looked at Herb. Gru took the three villains to the AVL.

Gru: Come on! Valerie, Silas, I've got the other villains!

Valerie and Silas were still staring at each other. Gru locked the villains behind bars.

Gru: Are you kidding me?

Valerie: Stop getting on Gru's nerves!

Silas: Stop getting on Lucy's nerves!

Valerie and Silas growled at each other. This out of control. Gru had to do something.

Gru: STOP! This is out of control! Look at you two! You're acting like immature teenagers or minions. Whatever comes first. Anyway, you two are the AVL leaders and you're acting like my two minions, Kevin, and Mel! You need to set a good example to everyone here and you're NOT! You two should be ashamed of yourselves!

Valerie sighed.

Valerie: You're right.

Silas: I'm sorry Agent Gru. And you too Valerie.

Valerie: I'm sorry too Silas. Look Agent Gru, we'd like to make it up to you for our awful behavior.

Silas: Yes. Is there anything we can do?

Gru: Hmm. There is one thing. I want my partner back!

Silas: You got it Agent Gru.

Valerie: You can get her.

Gru: Thank you.

Gru ran to the Grumobile. When Gru was gone, the villains escaped.

Valerie: Oh no. Here we go again.

Silas: We'll get them later.

Gru drove to his house.

Gru: YES!

Lucy was still in Gru's House. She sighed.

Lucy: What's the use girls? I'll never get my job back.

Then Gru ran in.

Gru: Lucy! Great news! I got your job back!

Lucy: What? Really?

Gru: Let's go!

Gru and Lucy ran to the Grumobile and went back to the AVL.

Valerie: Agent Wilde, welcome back.

Silas smiled.

Lucy: Thanks Gru. You did it!

Gru: I would do anything for you.
