M.I. High: We Need to Talk About KORTEX (Part 1)
Overview
The MI High team have set up their own agency after being fired from M.I.9. After many unsatisfying missions and almost quitting the job completely, they get the call they've been waiting for. Edward Lambsbottom, a senior technician at GDHQ (the government's secret listening station), has intercepted a conversation with the Crime Minister. She was discussing KORTEX and that KORPS are planning to assassinate the Deputy Prime Minister. He tried getting this information to M.I.9 but saw his new boss, Martin Strong, destroying evidence. The MI High team take this information to Frank, who still has a job at M.I.9, to try and figure out what's going on.

Mandy Pluckley, the country's top 'agony aunt', has been abducted by KORPS. She is the sworn confidant of the Prime Minister and he is dependent on her. Without her guidance, he has started to lose his mind and sense of reality. Making matters worse, in three hours, the British Government is holding the Unity Summit which puts every country's defences under a single system. His only permitted aide is Mandy and the team need to find her so that the PM can complete his duties at the Summit. After barely competing their mission, the PM sees their close call as a danger and orders them to be stood down, permanently. Meanwhile at St Heart's, Mrs King is shocked when she receives a letter informing her that a student has complained to the Education Minister about her. She vows to find the culprit no matter what.
Episode 13: The Last Stand (Part 2)
The team, Frank, and Stella have gone into hiding as M.I.9 has been taken over by KORPS. As KORPS' plans are nearing completion, the team must act fast. Frank tells them about 'The Heart', a rumoured super computer that controls all of KORPS' networks. They plan to destroy it but the only problem is that it is located at KORPS Central HQ which has never been found. Tom comes up with an idea and the group break back into their base under St. Heart's. Tom reveals that he made a gadget that contains a microchip that holds an anti-virus before they were fired, it will make Keri reject The Mastermind's consciousness if KORPS try to transfer it. It also contains a tracking device, so if Keri gives herself up, KORPS will take her to their HQ, leading to The Heart. Keri accepts, but the team also have far more pressing matters to worry about. Meanwhile, Evelyn Baxter is bent on taking over the country, and then destroying it.
