While Zemo and the Enchantress have their way with Captain America and Thor, respectively (again, not ''remotely'' what we meant), Panther distracts Crimson Dynamo and Zemo's "Wonder Man" long enough for Hawkeye to slip into the underground base. Both are captured after a short battle, but they bought just enough time for Ant Man to sneak back into his lab and retrieve a few things.

* ContinuityNod: This episode explains why Thor didn't answer a distress call earlier in the series from his ID card: because he doesn't even know how to use it until Jane explained it to him.

->Written by Christopher Yost

Opening with a bit of good old fashioned [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E5TheManInTheAntHill déjà vu]], Wasp is chasing Whirlwind through New York City. The difference is that this time, it's not Whirlwind. It's actually the Enchantress in disguise and she has brought [[LegionOfDoom all the members she's been collecting along]]. Crimson Dynamo, Executioner, Wonder Man, Abomination and Baron Zemo all step up, and with a quick laser blast, disable the wasp.

->'''Baron Zemo:''' One down.

The villain team then goes after the rest of the Avengers at the Mansion. The Crimson Dynamo infiltrates the basement levels and takes Stark out while he's working on his armor while Hulk is sent to Jotunheim by the Enchantress. [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E10EverythingIsWonderful Simon Williams]] and the Executioner double-team Captain America and Thor is lured back from his date with Jane Foster, and surrounded. With all the superpowered Avengers taken down, it is now up to Hawkeye and Black Panther to save the team.

While Zemo and the Enchantress have their way with Captain America and Thor, respectively (again, not ''remotely'' what we meant), Panther distracts Crimson Dynamo and Zemo's "Wonder Man" long enough for Hawkeye to slip into the underground base. Both are captured after a short battle, but they bought just enough time for Ant Man to sneak back into his lab and retrieve a few things.

Namely, some kind of particle splitter to deal with Wonder Man. Quickly making short of Abomination, the 3 avengers get to work freeing the others first by injuring the enchantress in order to free them from their magic bonds, and then Thor brings back a very frosty and very angry Hulk from Jotunheim. The ensuing battle (which features the first ever shot of all 8 avengers together in the show) more or less tears the Mansion apart but the villains are driven off.

While Zemo is understandably irritated by the loss, but The Enchantress says it matters little and communes with a shadowy figure [[spoiler: Loki]], informing him that the pieces are now all in place.

!!Tropes:

* BatmanGambit: The distraction Hawkeye and Panther pull on the Masters. They're very smug about it when they explain it to Zemo.
* DivideAndConquer: Most of the Avengers were off doing everyday activities separately. The Masters took advantage to pick them off one-by-one.
* TheEndOrIsIt: The villains are defeated, but Amora's final scene means it isn't over by a long shot.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Well...
-->'''Black Panther:''' I am an Avenger, and I will meet my end with pride!\\
'''Hawkeye:''' I'm gonna meet mine with kicking and screaming.
* IronicEcho: After the Masters capture Cap, Zemo takes out the Wasp's ID card.
-->'''Baron Zemo:''' The Thunderer and Ant-Man remain. Avengers... assemble.
* KneelBeforeZod: How Zemo greets Thor's arrival to the mansion. Thor balks, at which point the other Masters teleport in.
-->'''Baron Zemo:''' As I said, kneel before your masters.
* MegatonPunch: Or Megaton Kick -- Giant-Man to Abomination.
* OhCrap:
** The Enchantress when faced with an even angrier-than-usual Hulk.
** Abomination apparently wasn't aware that Hank Pym is also Giant-Man. He is now.
* ProperlyParanoid: Thor thinks the Masters were driven simply by revenge for past defeats. Cap is uncertain because Zemo said the world was promised to him.
* TacticalWithdrawal: "Enchantress, we are leaving!"
* WeNeedADistraction: Hawkeye and Panther buying Ant-Man time to prepare.
* YouExclamation: Hulk after seeing the Enchantress upon his return.
