Synopsis[]
During a successful M.I.9 mission to secure Samantha Stiletto, one of the world's most deadly assassins, a series of unfortunate events lead to KORPS mistaking Keri for the assassin! She must take Stiletto's place in the world's most deadly tournament, The Shadow Games, where the winner will become the new Shadow Master. The team's only chance of rescuing her is to rely on ex-Shadow Master, Alexis Von Hades, who's far from trustworthy.
Meanwhile, the Saint Hearts students end up watching the Shadow Games due to Tom's alterations with experimental educational programming.

- This episode is similar to "The New Grand Master" because in both episodes great criminal minds and assassins are running for the position of leader in the criminal organization and in both episodes an innocent student (Scoop Doggy and Keri Summers) are taken by accident and also run for the position of leader.
- Kenneth Flatley is wearing the same mask that he wears in "The League of Mata Hari".
