91. Casino Crashers: One day, Chad Vane is shown in his new hideout, which is hidden in a desert mountain. Thanks to the villains he’s assembled, he’s finally ready to begin the final stages of his master plan, even though the road getting there has been humiliating and bumpy. For the first step, Vane orders Jumbo Shrimp and Harry to go to the casino as a team. Shrimp will cause a distraction while Harry will plant a mysterious device in their computer system, since he is more unsuspecting. Scooter and friends are having fun at the casino, when Shrimp barges in to cause a panic. As instructed, Harry sneaks into the casino’s computer room after distracting security by offering them spots on a show, and implants the device. Shrimp is throwing slot machines everywhere, as civilians panic. Scooter and friends are able to defeat Shrimp, sending him fleeing. Harry casually walks out of the casino undetected, while Sooter and friends resume their casino fun. Unbeknownst to them, Vane’s plan worked, as the device ominously blinks in the computer room.

92. Stealing Spree: One day, while on break, Scooter and friends are at Leaf of Peace. Mall Shoplifter and Osmond are paired together for the next part of Vane’s plan. The Shoplifter casually strolls into Leaf of Peace and acts if they are stealing coffee supplies, however, they aren’t actually doing so. Gloria recognizes him and calls him out, drawing attention, so the Shoplifter makes a run for it. While distracted, Osmond sneaks by Ken and uses his fast tentacles to input the hacking device into the store’s computer. A montage ensues of Scooter and friends chasing the Shoplifter through stores who pretends to steal, while Osmond sneaks hacking devices into their computers. At one point, Octi recognizes Osmond and wonders what he’s doing. Osmond splits off from the Shoplifter for his final destination at the pizzeria, hijacking its computer without Mark seeing. Octi tells the gang that he saw the same con artist he met in New Kelp City at each store the Shoplifter “stole” from, wondering if there’s a connection.

With this destruction, Vane sneaks inside the club using a fake ID and disguise, touring around. He inputs the hacking device into the club’s computer system, and also finds the owner’s bank account information. Scooter and friends quickly go to the club after hearing the news. However, the establishment rejects them, saying the place is members only. They sneak into the golf course, seeing Man Ray vaporizing everything, as golfers flee in a panic. Mark uses his golfing skills to defeat Man Ray and send them away. Mark offers them to play a game with him to relax after that.

Suddenly, Dirty Bubble and Shaun activate Nick’s security system, locking them all inside. Now both groups must work together to escape a maze of puzzles and traps. In the end, they are able to deactivate it, but this allows Dirty Bubble and Shaun to escape with equipment and hack Nick’s system just as planned.

Back in the present, Scooter looks at an old photo of Larry and Don, missing them. However, he rests easy knowing they’re okay without him and he promises to occasionally visit Bikini Bottom so he still has an attachment to his old life.

97-100. High Tide (Parts 1-4): The day has come for Vane to enact the final stage of his plan. He has half of his allies create distractions while the other half plant the hacking devices in every bank across Bass Vegas. His ultimate goal is to steal everyone’s money so he can become rich and rule the seas. Sanders’ agents scramble over the city once they hear the reports of villain attacks. Scooter and friends walk nearby a bank, when they notice Harry about to enter. Timmy and Scooter both recognize him as the talent agent, and they notice a strange chip in his hand. Octi remembers seeing Osmond with that chip, making them realize something is off. They carefully follow him inside and see Harry try to whoo the bankroller by telling him he could be a star. As the teller tries to sign the document, Harry sneaks around and puts the chip into the computer. He thanks the teller for his time and leaves, when Timmy tackles him. The gang alerts Sanders, who confiscate the chip and brings Harry in for questioning at the warehouse. Professor Nick analyzes the chip and reveals it could be used to steal a computer system’s money information. Harry reveals Vane’s plan and the location of their lair since he didn’t want world domination, he just wanted the money. They’re shocked to learn that Vane wants to steal Bass Vegas’s entire economy. Scooter, Timmy, Gloria, Mark, Octi, DJ, Surfing Steve, Sanders, Nick and Sensei all band together to stop Vane from initiating this plan. Mark removes the chip from the pizzeria’s computer, not wanting to lose any of his money. Sanders sends his agents to confiscate the chips from stores and banks that have been infected. The main team gets into Mark’s RV and drive off through the desert.

As they drive off, Nick begins experimenting on the chip in an attempt to counteract it and ruin Vane’s plan. They see the mountain base approaching, right where Harry told them it was. They carefully make their way up the mountain and reach the entrance, ready to end this. They make their way through the lair, avoiding traps, and entering a boss rush against Vane’s cronies. Sensei takes down Shaun with his ultimate karate moves, Gloria takes down Shoplifter, DJ pops the Dirty Bubble with a song, Mark takes down Man Ray with pizza and golfing skills, Sanders takes down Jumbo Shrimp, and Octi defeats Osmond. They reach the peak, where Vane has his machine set up, ready to steal everyone’s money. Vane then surrounds himself in a mech suit, using parts from his previous robot plan and Nick’s technology. The robot overpowers the group and when it seems futile, Scooter gets an idea. He blows a whistle, alerting the entire snail colony from their camping adventure in “Gone Comping.” Steve commands the snails, who crawl all over Vane’s armor. This obscures his vision, infuriating him and causing him to wreck the lair. Scooter then jumps onto Vane’s suit and begins riding it like a surfboard on a high tide. While distracted, Nick hijacks Vane’s machine and sets it so that it steals the villains’ money, redistributing it to everyone else. Scooter and the snails let go, causing Vane to go flying into his machine, exploding both it and his suit. Vane and his cronies are finally brought down and arrested for good. Sanders thanks all of them for their help. Bass Vegas celebrates now that Vane is finally defeated for good and they can live in peace. A party is held at the pizzeria, where everyone is proud of Scooter and his team’s work in saving the day. Scooter, Timmy, Gloria, Mark, Octi and DJ take a group photo together. To bookend the series, Scooter cooks for a large crowd of anchovies that flock in, just as he did in the first episode.

I surprisingly had fun remastering 12 year old me's writing and giving it a simple fresh touch up that it really needed. I will not remaster my other early writings since there wouldn't be much point. I only did this one as a tribute to tv.com's death anyway. and to cash in on my Scooter shitposting #ScooterReturns
