Aired on March 1, 2004
Wendy prepares to exchange Nenene for Joker. In the meantime, Joker reveals to Anita that she was a test tube baby born in the British Library and tells her that Michelle and Maggie were brainwashed to take her in. Junior tells Michelle something similar, indicating Michelle had been altered to become a Paper Master, and Maggie reads a book given to her by Wendy containing a similar report. Wendy uses the Mirror Man to make the hostage exchange go in her favor and rescues Joker. However, Anita, Yomiko, Nancy, and Drake manage to escape regardless. Days later, Joker announces the plan of the British Library to the world.
