In X-Men Evolution season 3 episode 7, titled "The Toad, The Witch and The Wardrobe," the focus is on Toad, one of the Brotherhood members who has always been seen as the weak link of the group.

Toad begins the episode in a depressed state, feeling like the odd one out amongst the Brotherhood members. His powers are not as impressive as the others, and he feels like he constantly fails them. He even considers leaving the Brotherhood altogether, but decides to stick around after Mystique manages to convince him otherwise.

Meanwhile, the X-Men are dealing with the presence of Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch. Wanda has been causing chaos in the city using her reality-warping abilities, and the X-Men are tasked with stopping her before she causes more damage. However, they soon discover that Wanda is being manipulated by an outside force and they must track down the source of her power.

The Brotherhood also becomes involved in the situation when they discover that the source of Wanda's power is a magical wardrobe that they stumbled upon in their own mischief-making. The wardrobe has the ability to grant whoever enters it immense power and the Brotherhood realizes that Wanda must have entered the wardrobe. They also suspect that Toad has been the one to manipulate the wardrobe to get himself some power.

Toad is shocked by the accusations and insists that he did no such thing. Mystique believes him and decides that they must work together with the X-Men to stop Wanda and whoever is behind the wardrobe's power.

The rest of the episode follows the two teams as they race against time to stop Wanda and the source of the magical wardrobe. The action is thrilling, and the audience is left on the edge of their seat as Toad's true intentions are slowly revealed.
