Synopsis

The spies are sent to investigate several mysterious thefts of high-tech gadgetry. What they discover is a villain who can create a force field that cancels the effects of gravity. With plans to use his device on a much larger scale, can the spies stop him before it's too late?

In the B-story, the girls' parents are letting them live together in a new Beach House while they are vacationing in Europe, and then they compete over who gets the best bedroom (which Clover gets in the end).

• Beginning with this episode, there's a new opening sequence, the "Totally Spies!" logo is recolored purple and the word "undercover" appears beneath it in digital writing.
• The spies are living on their own now while their parents' are in Europe.
• Jerry remodels his office and makes a robotic assistant for himself named G.L.A.D.I.S. (Gadget Lending and Distribution Interactive System), which quickly gets on his nerves.
• Also beginning with this, both the Compowders and Jetpack Backpacks are upgraded and recolored to a light purple color. The compowders are upgraded to a design called the X-Powder, which also has the ability to instantly change their outfits with the press of a button, and their jetpacks become a regular addition that can attach to their catsuits and has a much more metallic appearance.
• Right after Clover gets her new bedroom and looks out a window in it, she sees that her room is right across from Mandy's bedroom (showing that Mandy is their new next-door neighbor), which both girls are repulsed by and Clover then asks if either Sam or Alex want to trade rooms with her.
• After Katie Leigh and Jess Harnell (and several other American voice actors) departed from the show, Alex and Jerry are now voiced by Katie Griffin and Adrian Truss, respectively. However in Season 4, Katie Leigh returns to reprise her role as Alex's mother, Carmen since her appearance in Season 2.
• The characters have been re-drawn with more detail this season.
• The buckle in the Expandable Cable Bungee Belt and the shoulder pads on the catsuits are now purple instead of original gray from the previous seasons.
• Sam provides the first ending video in this episode.
• Goof: When the girls first arrive at the site of Snell's crashed spaceship Sam's eyes are colored blue like Clover's.
