Fri, Sep 15, 2000

Zed hires a new alien field agent, infuriating Elle who's been bucking for a promotion to the field for months. She proposes a replacement for herself in the lab; Dr. Zeeltor, a wacky eccentric genius, whom Zed knows by reputation. Zed agrees to give it a try and promotes Elle, but she's mortified to discover her new partner is Agent X. Meanwhile, Jay is having minor aches and pains, thinking nothing of it not realizing he's got a life threatening neuro-spinal disorder resulting from exposure to a thistly alien called a Bovus. He refuses to let the new Dr. Zeeltor examine him. Things come to a head after X puts Elle's life at risk and Zeeltor operates on Jay without his permission. They both go rant and rave to Zed, insisting he fire his two new MiBs. But it's not to be. Zeeltor and X are now part of the team for good.

The rescue doesn't go all that smoothly; Kay gets swallowed by an arena beast and Jay is forced to face off with the Worms in a battle to the death.

After a coup attempt fails on the distant planet of Naar, its Emperor fears that rebels will try to kidnap his son Raax, who's on Earth disguised as a high school student. He asks MiB for help. With a special weapon pen and a backpack provided by Zeeltor, Jay goes undercover. Alas, he runs afoul of the Principal, incurs the wrath of two Jocks, (who may be the kidnappers in disguise) and with the unwanted "help" of the Worms who end up blowing his cover. Kay eventually shows up to bust Jay's chops as a substitute teacher. Things come to a head when a Worm prank backfires and the Jocks come after Jay, holding him to blame and reveal themselves to be Naarians. But it turns out, they ain't the rebels. The sinister rebels are actually the perky Amber and the Cheerleaders, who snatch Raax and attempt a rendezvous with their spaceship. But Jay foils their plan and rescues Raax, by using Zeeltor's pen gizmo and a lesson on "reflection" he learned from "teacher" Kay.

As Alpha challenges Jay to a chess game, Jay coaxes out info, but who's finessing whom in this highly charged cat and mouse game? Jay smugly passes off Alpha's info as his own research, based on his keen "instincts" informing the MiBs that Vengiss is a scout for the Ixion Federation, who plan on invading Earth. As the MIBs race off to intercept Vengiss, they learn that Alpha has escaped, with the aid of a toy-like electronic chess game that Jay had given him. The MIBs get the drop on Alpha and Vengiss in Alaska, where the two villains are making good on a deal forged 30 years ago. Vengiss is captured in the ensuing battle, but Alpha manages to escape, and contacts Jay, congratulating Jay on foiling his scheme but implies that the game has only just begun.

Jay takes a turn at bat and knocks the orb (not knowing what it is) into the city. When Jay finds out the horrible truth, he goes on a wild chase, Fmecks pursuing him, in a desperate effort to retrieve the orb before the planet inside, and Kay, are char-broiled.

But then, Zeeltor discovers that by using his fire powers Jay's gradually destroying his internal organs any further use could prove fatal. Meanwhile, MiB discovers that HQ has been taken over by an organic "living computer" goo which had been smuggled into the reception by the Hoon'Taaks.

S4.E9 ∙ The Virtual Crossfire Syndrome

Fri, May 04, 2001

After Jay scores a less-than-stellar "67" out of 100 in Zeeltor's VBE (Virtual Battlefield Environment) he gets endlessly ribbed by fellow agents. Eager to redeem himself in the field Jay volunteers to guard a visiting Dignitary. Unfortunately, the assignment ends up in more humiliation for Jay; the Dignitary is just not comfortable being guarded by an agent who scored a mere 67. Jay sneaks back into the VBE late at night, but what he doesn't know is that, at Zed's request, Zeeltor has retooled the VBE. It now contains more dangerous nemeses and opponents. Worse, due to a glitch in the circuitry, they're now firing real ammo! Jay's stuck in a real life or death battlefield with no way out. Though neither Kay nor anyone else can physically enter the VBE to help Jay, Zeeltor is able to cybernetically inject himself into the "game". Inside the VBE, Zeeltor provides a skeptical Jay with tips and strategy. Zeeltor ultimately helps Jay emerge victorious, but his selfless act results in Zeeltor getting "vaporized." Jay laments Zeeltor's loss, not realizing till he exits the VBE that it was only a "virtual" Zeeltor. The real doc was never actually inside the game.
