V.I.P. are hired to protect Dr. Greg ""Bonzai"" Kobak, a scientist whose oil-eating bacteria if mixed with a DNA accelerant will create Diablo 99. Diablo 99 is a toxin that will turn water into sludge and Dr. Tina Stokes plans to get her hands on both with the help of a Val double. She sends Val on a health spa getaway and has the fake Val infiltrate V.I.P. and steal Dr. Kovacs' bacteria but her plans are foiled when the real Val returns early believing something is up when Angel, Dr. Tina Stokes' partner, appears at the health and tries to kill her twice.
