In the midst of an international carnival ball, the enigmatic spy Jaromir the Monocled Madman orchestrates a deadly scheme, threatening to destroy the entire party with a hidden bomb. As Blackhawk and a group of allies race to uncover the device, they must outwit Jaromir’s traps and his network of collaborators—while a mysterious figure from the past may hold the key to stopping him.
Jo and Ezra navigate the awkward social tangle of a planned date, with Ezra scrambling to find the perfect outfit—only to discover that Myrna’s father might have a tuxedo he can borrow. As Dean Dilsbury Jr. circles with suspiciously timed offers of help, Ezra’s confidence wobbles, especially when he realizes he has no idea what to wear. The real test comes not in the clothes, but in whether Ezra can keep his cool when the night’s true surprise arrives.
