Last week, we brought you an exclusive preview clip of that week’s Venture Bros. episode “Perchance to Dean.” Now, we’re doing the same thing with this week’s episode, entitled “Return to Malice,” which looks to be a bit Monarch-centric.

Though Adult Swim is running the episode out of order (the season premiere was actually the sixth episode in this season), this episode is technically the third. According to Adult Swim, the episode looks like we’ll finally get a sweet Henchman 21 story.

In the aftermath of the death of his best friend, Henchman 21 has rededicated his life to become the most feared and skilled of all of the Monarch’s Henchmen. But tonight, all bets are off as Henchman 21 begins the hunt for the murderer of Henchman 24. Alliances shift, secrets are revealed, and the Venture brothers are kidnapped. Again.

Check out the full clip after the jump, in which The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch discuss the new change in Henchman 21’s demeanor. Be sure to catch “Return to Malice” on Adult Swim Sunday, November 8th, at midnight.

You could count on one hand the amount of decent animated programming on television today. Some as easy to get to as Fox’s Family Guy, but others are more buried. One hidden gem in particular is Adult Swim’s The Venture Bros.. For those not in the know, the series started off as a spoof of old adventure cartoons like Johnny Quest, but in three seasons, turned into so much more.

Last we left the Venture cast, Brock had quit his job as the family bodyguard, Hank and Dean lead their clones to be sacrificed for battle, and Henchman 21 was holding the decapitated head of his close pal, Henchman 24. Where do we go from here? Check out the extended trailer for the next season below, and Venture Bros. picks back up again in November with full episodes on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.

Go Team Venture!
