The Very First Mission: Mall Madness

Lore & Background

The episode opens with the girls as ordinary high school students, more concerned with scoring discounts and cute boys than global security. Their world flips upside-down when Jerry, a dapper British-accented man from WOOHP, recruits them after a mysterious wave of 'mall madness' sweeps through shopping centers worldwide. The cause is a mad scientist named Dr. Claw, who has invented a sinister device that turns people into mindless, credit-card-wielding automatons, buying everything in sight. The Spies must infiltrate a mall, dodge the brainwashed crowds, and stop Dr. Claw from using his invention to crash the world's economy—all while trying not to get trampled by bargain-crazed shoppers.

In Their Own Story

The Beverly Hills Mall was a blur of neon lights, screaming bargain hunters, and flying shopping bags. Sam, Clover, and Alex, now zipped into sleek red jumpsuits, dodged a stampede of shoppers grabbing at anything within reach. 'This is insane!' Alex yelled, ducking a flying handbag. Clover rolled her eyes. 'At least we look good doing it.' They had to reach the food court, where Dr. Claw's hidden lab was pumping out the madness signal like a bad pop song on repeat. With a synchronized nod, they activated their jetpacks, soaring above the chaos—past a woman trying to buy a mannequin and a kid fighting over a video game—toward the source of the mayhem.

Reader's Guide

The story begins with the girls at the mall, noticing shoppers acting like they've been possessed by a credit card demon. Jerry contacts them via a hidden communicator disguised as a lipstick, explaining the crisis. They are given their first gadgets: a compact that pops open into a parachute, a hairbrush that shoots a laser beam, and a pair of earrings that double as communicators. At WOOHQ, they meet Jerry and learn Dr. Claw's plan to brainwash the world into a shopping trance. The Spies return to the mall, now fully brainwashed, and must fight through crowds of zombie-like shoppers grabbing at anything in sight. They discover Dr. Claw's secret lair in a back room, where a giant antenna broadcasts his signal. After a brief struggle—complete with a near-fall into a shopping cart pit—they destroy the device, freeing everyone from its influence. Dr. Claw escapes, but the day is saved. The girls return to their normal lives, now knowing they are part of something bigger—and that their lipsticks will never be just lipsticks again.
