There, the Nomicon reminds Randy of who he is and once Randy remembers and exits the book, he finds a distressed Howard running away from a stanked robot. Randy gets the mask from Howard near the Norrisville Dam after the robot threw them down. After fighting the regenerating robot for a bit, Randy realizes in order to de-stank it and shut it down for good he must destroy his learning and memory chip. Once Randy does that he successfully defeated the robot. When Randy and Howard get back to school, Howard finally admits maybe Randy was right about the entire there's more than being a ninja and Howard was wrong. Principal Slimovitz announces that the school is completely destroyed and that classes are cancelled. Everyone rejoices.

Trivia
- This episode and "The Ninja Identity" make up the show's second special, the first being the "Dawn of the Driscoll" and "Night of the Living McFizzles."
- The title is a play on the 2004 action spy film, The Bourne Supremacy.
- The theme song was altered in this episode, with Howard singing along and explaining how he has to replace Randy.
- This is the first time Howard has put on the Ninja Mask, and the second time he's dressed up as the Ninja, while the first time was in "Monster Drill."
- The episode reveals that when a ninja has completed his training, he takes the Ultimate Lesson to have his memory about being the Ninja erased and his experiences are incorporated into the NinjaNomicon.
- The same conversation between Randy and Howard in which Randy revealed he was the Ninja in "Last Stall on the Left" happens again in this episode, except that Howard is the one telling Randy.
- Clips of the Nomicon from "Last Stall on the Left," "30 Seconds to Math," "Wave Slayers," "Weinerman Up," and "Gossip Boy" appear in this episode.
- This is the first time actual clips of the show have appeared in other episodes, although Nomicon lessons have been brought up before in "Raiders of the Lost Nomicon."
- This is the first episode in which the Sorcerer stanks a robot.
- The reason the robot becomes stanked is because it learns emotions by means of the memory chip Viceroy installed in it, learning humiliation, shame, and disgrace when Howard (while wearing the Ninja Suit) humiliates the robot.
