While Kincaid tries to thwart the blackmail plot of his ex-wife and 3-D Magee, Tracy sends a photo of 3-D to the police network. Posing as an ice cream vendor, 3-D gives Sparkle and Wings some ice cream and at the same time leaves some rare Peruvian ants, which bite the children and make them violently ill. Sam tracks down an antidote. 3-D Magee begins building a special vest that he says will help him extort more money from Kincaid Plenty.
