S2E9 Ants in Pants!

Betty, the Queen of the Ants, sparks a rebellion among the ants in the City. Meanwhile, the Tick, feeling overwhelmed, retreats to Captain Sanity's Superhero Sanitarium, leaving a crucial gap in their defense. As Betty and her army capture the remaining heroes and imprison them in a colossal People Farm, they gather glass to create a massive magnifying glass to harness sunlight against them. Just when all hope seems lost, the Tick manages to regain his sanity just in time to thwart Betty's plan and rescue his fellow heroes.
