That point where a series starts become a franchise.
Lara suddenly starts wondering about her family history, and discovers that she has famous family, and inherited her intelligence from Laika, and we add a bunch of new side characters. (And I think after this the spin off "Spy Cat" and "Spy Pups" start up?)

Again, not expecting a lot of accuracy, but... anytime someone is planning to corner the market in a commodity then cause a global crisis so they can profit off it, that's going to be pretty noticeable. Especially if it involves launching a series of rockets from Scotland. Which bugs me more when it's the plot of Mission Impossible, but still, this is what we have "eminent domain" powers for.

Also kinda weird, a lot of this is concerned with CFCs damaging the ozone layer, which is quite a retro concern? It came out in 2009, I wonder if kids in 2009 still remember the CFCs panic?
