Saving them from dolphins / who tried to sell them to oligarchs.
Clover and Sage went on a quest / to pass Jarsh-Jarsh's ultimate test.
Mort ran away without a prayer / he found a hideout in Xixi's timeshare
And Butterfish is looking for dinner!

Chapter Shest
The army the sharks promised Julien turns out to be a large group of Russian space monkeys, who would rather build a blimp to return to Russia than help Julien out. Clover and Sage have stumbled upon a self-help seminar hosted by Fred and Pam. Mort finds himself at Timo's pod, but Timo has locked himself in.
Tropes:
- Apes in Space: As it turns out, an entire army of Russian Space Monkeys are living on a deserted island; Russia having lost interest in the Space Race and needing some place to get rid of them.
- Continuity Nod: Stanislav from "Monkey Planet" is among the abandoned Russian space monkeys. Unfortunately for Julien, the aid Julien provided him in that episode is not enough to convince the monkeys to join Julien's army.
- Shout-Out:
- The Russian Space Monkeys are led by a monkey named Caesar and are bent on revenge against humanity in the form of global domination.
- Pam remains an expy of Quicksilver from Days of Future Past, and this time she holds Clover and Sage by the head to transport them with her speed in much the same way Quicksilver does.
- Suddenly Voiced: When we last saw Stanislav, he could only speak Russian and thus didn't speak a whole lot. Here he knows enough English to be able to point Julien to someone "gooder at make talk".
- What the Hell, Hero?: Julien tries to buy time to win over the chimps by getting Pancho to sabotage their blimp, which he does by rigging it to explode. This leads to two in quick succession:
- Pancho gets one for nearly killing all the monkeys when they just wanted to stall them.
- Julien gets one when he immediately tries to take advantage of the situation to rescue the monkeys and get them to owe him a life debt.
