King Tut broke into the Gotham Museum to steal an ancient Egyptian headdress but Batman intervened. He quipped it was not his size and readied his lucky Batarang. Vicki Vale reported live outside the museum as police took Tut into custody. Tut took offense to only being called a supervillain and stated he was a deity incarnate. He tried to demonstrate his graceful, godlike abilities but he bumped into Batman. He ran for it. Batman threw a Batarang that accidentally pinned his costume. Tut was nude on live TV. Vicki reported King Tut's "private collection" was on public display.
King Tut was sent to Arkham Asylum for his dastardly pyramid scheme. He reformed and was going to live in a home set up by Alicia Pennyworth's E*vil. Claire Selton saw Tut's texts to Alicia on her phone and suspected Alicia was secretly a supervillain. Tut met with Alicia at the property that would turned into the home along with Killer Moth, Copperhead, and Giganta. Claire took photographs of the meeting but Tut spotted her and Little Batman up above and a skirmish broke out. The supervillains fled the scene as the building collapsed.
King Tut and Killer Moth bought bath bombs, scented candles, and a cornucopia of chocolates from Dankworths without stealing anything. Little Batman tied them up as they walked to their car on level 2. He asked them what Mad Hatter would want from Wayne Enterprises. Killer Moth tried to repeat they weren't villains anymore. Little Batman raised a Batarang. King Tut recalled Hatter could be quite persistent and would still be looking for what it was. Little Batman interpreted it as Hatter would continue to target Wayne Enterprises's facilities but there were dozens of them. Killer Moth suggested the next closest one. Little Batman realized it was obvious. Killer Moth was surprised but realized he was already gone. King Tut had a feeling he was not coming back to untie them.
At the beginning of a day of community outreach planned, King Tut and Killer Moth told a pair of little girls about the joys of urban farming and gave them some carrots. They greeted Alicia, who brought Damian along for his Go To Work With a Grown Up Day. E*Vil welcomed a new member, Sad Hatter. During group share, Tut was moved to tears by her story of being deceived by her father Mad Hatter and living with low self-esteem. After outreach was done, they returned to E*Vil and had ice cream. Damian suddenly lassoed Sad Hatter with a hose, believing she was still a criminal based on what Claire Selton dug up on her. Giganta got tripped up and the others got snagged up. Giganta fell on top of E*Vil's ice cream cart and made a mess. Damian called it their just desserts and got booed. Sad Hatter told him the accomplice was Stanley Tetch, her brother, and after she quit the family business to go back to art school, their dad must have recruited him. Alicia mused "Go To Work Day" was over and fired Damian. He later returned, apologized, and presented an ice cream cart. Hatter forgave Damian and told him they better get some ice cream before King Tut ate it all.
Six months since his humiliating arrest at Gotham Museum, King Tut shared his experience with the group at E*Vil. He declared his bottom became rock bottom. Copperhead remembered his butt was all anyone could talk about for weeks. Killer Moth pointed out it became a meme, "King Butt." Copperhead wished she could see Batman suffer that kind of embarrassment just once. Tut went on further and wished he could kick Batman's butt. Alicia dressed up as Batman and implored them to say it to his face. They were silent. She realized they weren't buying it. Tut told everyone that because of E*Vil, their days of humiliation were behind them. Tut was hit with the toilet and bathtub from the upstairs bathroom. They crashed at Wayne Manor the same time Vicki Vale was to interview the Wayne family. Bruce stipulated they can't go anywhere near Vicki. She assured him the last thing they wanted was to be on TV. E*Vil told Vicki they would love to be in the interview. Tut claimed they were now part of the Wayne family. King Tut kept damaging priceless ancient vases by mistake. Alfred opened the walk-in pantry. Tut was inside and dropped several bottles. It splashed all over everyone.
Alicia had Bruce roleplay as Batman for the therapy session. E*Vil unloaded. Alfred called his beard ridiculous and apologized for getting caught up. Tut summarized they accept the world deemed them criminals but asked if the same judgment be cast on Batman because he stole something invaluable from them, their dignity. He added he could kick his big bat butt, too, and laughed. Bruce had enough and told them off, only they get to decide how the world sees them and they could get their dignity back by taking responsibility for their actions. Everyone was speechless. He added he thinks that's what Batman would say. Tut lauded him for the wise counsel. Everyone clapped. Claire thought adults were so easily manipulated. Copperhead complimented Bruce for opening not only his house to them, but opening their minds. Tut wanted to make him a new honorary member of E*Vil. Everyone dogpiled on Bruce for a family hug.
E*Vil was absent from the dinner. Alicia was suspicious. Bruce guessed they had a lot to process after the big breakthrough. E*Vil regained consciousness in a cabin. Tut thought the Waynes were in trouble. Buttercup easily got loose and freed Copperhead and Sad Hatter who untied the others. Man-Bat returned and wondered how the snake got out of the clove-hitch knot. Ra's practiced imitating Bruce's pleas but was interrupted by the sounds of E*Vil beating up Man-Bat. Tut picked up the Sphere of Skaratata to use to bludgeon Man-Bat and boasted he could kick Batman's big bad butt. Ra's al Ghul warned those who lied while holding it would earn the wrath of the demon in it. Skaratata was freed again. Man-Bat got his name wrong, Tater-tata. Ra's told them they just had to put him back in the sphere. Tut dropped it and it shattered into pieces. Bruce made a toast to Vicki but watched as Skaratata chased E*Vil outside. Bruce guessed that's why they didn't come to dinner.
Skaratata vowed to find his liar, the fool who masqueraded as a pharaoh. Tut took offense and the chase resumed. Tut looked at everyone in distress and walked out from behind a tree but a branch snagged his clothes and he was in his underwear. Skaratata laughed. The sections of land began to drift down. Tut summoned Copperhead and Killer Moth to join him in a booty dance. Skaratata was amused but was ready to take his liar. Batman fired missiles into his face. He told Tut to hurry up and kick his big bat butt. He kicked Batman's butt over and over. Skaratata realized the lie he told was now truth and he could no longer lay claim to Tut but he was free to sew chaos and destruction. Batman fired a back up sphere out of the Batjet. Skaratata declared he hated them and was imprisoned once again.
King Tut, while under the mind control of the Antiglow, broke into the Gotham Museum and stole King Tutankhamen's mummified feline companion. Bright was shocked. Little Batman speculated it might not be the real King Tut. Tut tried to run but lost his robe. Little Batman rescinded. Batman noticed his eyes were off and decided to take him to the Batcave. In the Batcave, King Tut was restored to normal. Little Batman gave him a special carbo-load shake to keep up his strength. Tut swore on the lotus of Nefertem he had no idea what happened. The last thing he could remember was E*Vil gathering to watch the season finale of "Battle Ship Bake Off!" but a mysterious voice spoiled the results, revealing Samantha won, and blasted a ray at them then they were all overcome with rage and trashed the brownstone. He took a drink and was delighted to taste wintergreen bubblegum. Little Batman presumed it was, he found it in Alfred's pocket, and assured Tut his dad already figured out what happened. Batman determined Tut was brainwashed with some sort of hypnotic light. Batman clarified to Alfred it was a photo-impositional suggestion, a type of mind-control that uses lightwaves to manipulate the mind, but only if the victim is angry enough. Bright didn't think it was a coincidence Tut went rogue and the moment they were closing in on the AntiGlow.
Vicki Vale reported E*vil had gone rogue. Tut was horrified. Ra's al Ghul pointed out he always a said, once a villain, always a villain. He admitted he came to the Batcave just to see the look of disappointment on their faces. Little Batman wanted to help E*Vil. Claire pointed out they were all over Gotham and with the mind control, they were actually effective criminals. Batman decided they would have to split-up into two teams. Little Batman led Team Alpha with Claire and Tut. Claire told Little Batman he was sounding like a flight attendant. They jumped off the roof. Tut told them he would meet them down there and went back into the building. He lost his robe again and a breeze carried it away to his dismay. E*Vil was reunited outside Gotham Jewelers after Copperhead was restored to normal. Little Batman told Vicki Vale they were under the sway of mind control.
