The goal of the MBC is to locate alien criminals seeking refuge in Single Town, capture them, and send them to galactic authorities.
Setting
The show takes place in a small calm town named Single Town. Single Town is two hundred years old and was founded by a man named Addison Single (who was really an alien disguised as a human).

Gluten is now allowed to be set free by the galactic authorities, and returns to Earth to try to find Rhapsodians. Meanwhile, in Mr. Fusster's class, Wendy and Cathy are paired on a project together, and Wendy doesn't bring in some of the ingredients stating, "My dress would probably get stained" so Cathy substitutes the ingredient with her saliva, which causes a chemical eruption. Wendy gets weird spots on her face later, and when The MBC Members find out Gluten has returned to earth, they think that he's after Cathy, and Cathy says she'll be bait so that they can vacuvate him and keep him under control. Cathy then finds that her powers have vanished, and Gluten calls her an 'earthling' he doesn't want. Hugo examines Cathy and tells her that Rhapsodian saliva can be toxic, and he says he'll try to find an antidote, but in the meantime, Cathy will have to be a normal earthling in the meantime. The MBC Members head back to school to look for a Rhapsodian and an antidote for Cathy. Danny and Sam find out that Wendy has Cathy's powers, and Cathy and Chris manage to find out that Cathy's powers have transferred over to whoever was standing closest to Cathy, which was Wendy. Sam and Danny try to calm her down, but she eats chocolate cake, which normally makes Cathy go hyper, and the same effect is happening to Wendy. They then try to stop Wendy before Gluten finds her, but Wendy disappears because Gluten captures her. The MBC Members split up to look for Wendy and any clues as to where she is. Danny and Cathy find Wendy's designer backpack, and get a call from Chris and Sam telling them to go to the gym. Hugo finds an antidote to Cathy's power-loss, telling her that she'll need to get close to Wendy again to get her powers back. Cathy goes to find Wendy, and Hugo says that he'll try to bring Gluten by doing the Rhapsodian funny dance. Gluten comes and jams all the doors shut, which lock Chris, Danny and Sam out, but they find vents to get in through. Meanwhile, Cathy finds Wendy and frees her, but Wendy starts to have Cathy's powers getting out of control. Meanwhile, Gluten tries to attack Hugo, but he has very strong powers, so he isn't easily hurt. Cathy manages to stop Wendy, and gets her powers back. She goes and helps Hugo defeat Gluten, who gets canned. We then see Cathy and Wendy retry their experiment with the proper chemical, and the material changes color. Cathy then pranks Wendy by using Rhapsodian Color Markers to make her think she's gone mad again. | |||

Mr. Smith then uses his Rhapsodian healing powers to cure Danny, Chris and Sam, but fails in curing Cathy. It appears that the virus can't be extracted from Cathy's human body : so she has to transform back into her Rhapsodian form and concentrate hard to expel the virus. Once it's out of her, Cathy turns back into human & the team blasts the virus, which automatically ends quarantine. The clubhouse can now safely return to Earth. Note: This is the series finale. |

Characters
Main
- Catherine "Cathy" Orion Smith[1] (voiced by Andrea Libman) – Cathy appears to be a bubbly, 12-year-old girl on Earth, but she is actually a 250-year-old[2] (or 700 Rhapsodian year-old teenager) alien from the planet Rhapsodia. She came to Earth with her grandfather, Mr. Smith, to start the Monster Buster Club (MBC). She is constantly surprised at how different Earth is from Rhapsodia. She has many alien abilities, like the ability to stretch, slight telekinesis, and others. She is the most optimistic of the MBC. Her suit color is pink. In her human form, she has blond hair and blue eyes. Her Rhapsodian form is shown to be a humanoid, white alien with scattered pink spots, with four tentacles for arms, and two tentacles for legs, as well as tentacles on her head, (like hair), and a long, furry-looking tail[nb 1] Compared to humans, Rhapsodians are extremely long-lived.[3]
- Christopher "Chris" Edison-Lang[2] (voiced by Michael Yarmush) – Chris is the 12-year-old tech-guy of the group. He has indigo blue hair and dark blue eyes. He is very smart, with a knack for gadgets. He'll often stay back in the clubhouse and supply intelligence reports while the rest of the group is out on a mission. His suit color is blue.
- Daniel "Danny" Jackson[4] (voiced by Matt Hill) is a 12-year-old boy and a nice guy at heart. He's good at sports, has brown hair, green eyes and a scar over his left eyebrow. He can get a little overconfident at times. He has an adamant crush on his schoolmate, Wendy. He has an erratic sense of humor and enjoys cracking jokes even in the most dangerous situations. He has his own self-proclaimed nickname: "The Danny" and refers to himself as such whenever he's performing a task. His suit color is red.
- Samantha "Sam" O'Hara[2] (voiced by Anna Cummer) – Samantha, known by her friends as Sam, a 12-year-old girl and is the level-head member of the group with an often serious disposition. She has dark hair tied in buns and hazel eyes. While officially the MBC has no leader, she'll often be the member to construct battle strategies and procedures for the group. She, at times, can be bossy. While she possesses great natural leadership skills, she'll often put MBC first instead of having fun. She sometimes is the shoot first and ask questions later type. Her suit color is yellow.
- John Edison-Lang (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) – John is Chris' 10-year-old little brother. He sometimes takes over for Chris at the clubhouse when Chris is on a mission or busy. He really wants to be in the MBC but he is too young.
- Mr. Hugo Smith (voiced by Rick Jones) – Mr. Smith is Cathy's aloof grandfather and came with her to Earth. Like Cathy, he is a Rhapsodian, but rarely displays any supernatural powers and his alien form has the appearance of a mollusk. He'll sometimes aid the MBC from the clubhouse, but often he won't be involved in their missions at all. Mr. Smith loves working in his garden and playing cards with his plants.

- Principal Rollins (voiced by Sonja Ball) – The gang's principal who thinks the students are soldiers and often uses terms like "Company halt!" and "About face!".
