"The Invasion of the Paper Pedalers" - The N Team visits News World after receiving a tip. Julio the Paperboy informs them of Mother Brain's hypnotic ink scheme, and how reading the papers hypnotizes the reader into becoming Mother Brain's servant. He also reveals that he is unaffected because he can't read, since he has been cutting school to earn extra money on his paper route since his father lost his job. Soon enough, all of the N Team members except Kevin, Duke and Gameboy are hypnotized as well! Eventually the N Team discovers an antidote to the ink, and the few that have avoided being controlled use it to free the hypnotized residents.
