How to totally fuck with everyone regarding everything about QC:
Hannelore uses the various samples she's been collecting from Marten to artificially fertilise one of her own eggs, but realises she could never go through with pregnancy herself, so she uses her mother's "connections" to get the foetus implanted in to Faye at her next gynaecological exam.
After the baby is born with blue eyes and jet black hair, Dora surreptitiously obtains a paternity test and finds that Marten is the father. Assuming he's been having an affair with Faye this whole time, she goes berserk and severely injures both of them with the battle-spatula but comes to her senses when, poised to deliver the killing blow, the baby starts crying in the other room.
Dora promptly becomes completely catatonic with guilt and doesn't come out of it for months. As both Marten and Faye are both unconscious by this point, she is also the only witness to Hannelore secreting the baby away, sparking a nationwide man-hunt for the "Whitaker baby kidnapper" until Dora is able to identify the real culprit.
Of course, while this has all been going on, Steve has been back on the job, hunting down his mysterious nemesis, the master-mind behind all the schemes he's foiled in the past. In the doing, he uncovers a vast conspiracy that, strangely, indicates that he's responsible for numerous disasters world-wide, all correlated to one of the "evil schemes" he's "stopped." Eventually, he determines that the controller of the conspiracy is in fact his "handler" 'Agent' Turing who has been secretly working with VespaVenger to overthrow the American government using drunk secret agents for implausible deniability.
Shocked at these revelations, he goes and gets drunk again, this time drinking enough Vermouth for Gary to show up and remind him that he started out looking for the one behind all the schemes he's foiled, and that he should go find the answers he started looking for because they will help him answer the new questions raised by the conspiracy. Gary also teaches him the ultimate martial art; smashed pterodactyl kung-fu, which is like drunken monkey, but turned up to eleven.
Using the Whitaker kidnapping as a cover to get out from Turing's watchful eye, Steve eventually finds that the true mastermind he's been seeking is in fact a genuine government agent who has been posing as a romance writer for cover, and the US government has been encoding the instructions to his elite team of field agents into his books, which is why they make almost no sense yet still sell hundreds of thousands.
Meanwhile meanwhile, Tai has been secretly initiated by Jimbo into the elite government strike-force he commands and, much to her delight, issued her very own tie-fighter and dispatched to Mars for training. Nobody suspects her robot duplicant is anything of the sort, except for Marten who has no idea how she has managed to stay STD free, given her lifestyle, but keeps getting distracted from investigating further by Dora-drama and, eventually, Faye's mysterious pregnancy....
I should probably leave it there, no?
