G-Force learns that several mysterious plane crashes have been occurring on the planet, so Mark travels undercover to investigate. There, he meets Dr. Sweet, who has developed a compound that can render Spectra's latest weapon useless. Sweet hid his creation in his nephew's toy, whose father was a pilot of a plane lost and spends all his days at the airport waiting for his father to return. When it seems like the pilot does indeed return, Sweet is first very happy his brother was back, but then realizes it wasn't him and finds the imposter trying to break into his personal safe. It turns out to be Zoltar, looking for the compound. In the meantime, Mark discovers Spectra is using a giant mummy to bring down the planes, and the rest of G-Force joins him, using Sweet's compound to destroy the mummy. With the compound secure, Spectra will never be able to use their weapon again.
