Hel and Sarge are basking at a virtual tanning salon when a brawl breaks out between the barkeeper and a feisty guy. The ladies attempt to intervene, but the barkeeper throws the guy off a landing and the guy transforms into a Betrayer as he falls down the shaft. The Betrayer is beheaded by a passing rafter and a Scavenger catches his head and downloads its information to the evil mutant Sluggo. Meanwhile, Hel and Sarge find an abandoned baby boy at the tanning salon and figure it must have belonged to the guy thrown from the ledge. They return to Mauser's lab with the child and Cleopatra fawns over him. Mauser generates the baby's hologram in an effort to locate his guardians.
Later, Sluggo learns from the Betrayer head that the baby has been programmed by the Bailies to be a bomb. Realizing this child can be an asset, Sluggo releases Scavengers to retrieve the baby. Meanwhile, Mauser locates the baby's guardians and the team heads to the tanning salon to return him. But when the supposed guardians can't produce their Guardian tags, the ladies realize they're dealing with Scavengers. A battle erupts and the team quickly takes the upper hand.
The Scavengers confess they were sent by Sluggo to recover the baby after learning that it's a Bailey bomb. Mauser contacts Hel and tells her that the baby has been infused with a cell replication gene mutation that will cause a chain reaction in eight minutes that will make the baby explode. Voice orders them to bring the infant to the surface to detonate it, but the team opts to retrieve the Betrayer head and search for an alternate solution. The trio enters the Scavenger headquarters with the baby. Everyone but Sluggo flees and Hel logs onto the Betrayer head and works with Mauser to diffuse the time-bomb infant.
One minute before detonation, Sluggo escapes, swearing to get even, and Sarge shoots one of his arms off. In the final seconds, the barkeeper, who originally helped the Betrayer plant the baby in the tanning salon, bursts in and begins to fight Sarge. Hel and Mauser locate the original mutated cell and a laser from a healing tube erases it. Sarge kills the barkeeper and relief fills the room as everyone realizes the baby has been defused. The team later returns the infant to his biological parents.
