Go To

Acts:

  1. "...Code 20..."
  2. "...Have Dead..."
  3. "...There Are Risks Involved..."
  4. "...Brain Killers..."

Tropes:

  • Bound and Gagged: Cecille ends up this way after getting kidnapped by THRUSH.
  • Damsel in Distress: The spunky and beautiful young artist, Cecille Bergstrom, who agrees to be an UNCLE informant so as to help her brother, is kidnapped by THRUSH operatives sent by Dabree. She is held as Dabree's captive in the climax.
  • Einstein Hair: The evil THRUSH scientist operative, Agnes Dabree, certainly has an impressive fuzz-mop of hair that sticks up like she's been struck by lightning. This is a reference to her actress Elsa Lanchester's most famous role in the classic Bride of Frankenstein.
  • Elevator Failure: Agnes takes a plunge down an open elevator shaft, but doesn't die.
  • Large Ham: Agnes chews the scenery with gusto.
  • Mad Scientist: Agnes, the Thrush Villain of the Week, is a an evil genius who specializes in brain surgery and neural manipulation. Her current target - Mr. Waverly!
  • Sequel Hook: Agnes escapes in the end and is last seen vowing vengeance on Solo. Sadly, it was never followed up on.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: Again, the whole plot involves zapping brains with electricity, so of course they hired Ms. Lanchester as the villain!
