Synopsis for "The Uncanny Unicorn"

Lamenting about the state of his life, Iron Man trashes his lab in a fit of rage, and decides to cheer himself up by acting like a billionaire playboy. When the Avengers call Stark Industries looking for Iron Man to deal with a new threat, Stark tells them that Iron Man has "gone on a long vacation."
The threat which the other Avengers can't handle is a new villain named the Unicorn, a Communist agent, who attacks Stark Industries while Tony is out on a date. During the attack Happy is injured and Pepper is taken prisoner. When Stark learns what happens he realizes that he's shirked his responsibility and rushes to stop the Unicorn as Iron Man.
While Iron Man is saving Pepper, the Unicorn places a bomb in Stark's lab, Iron Man battles the Unicorn but surrenders so that the Unicorn will disarm the bomb. A condition to his surrender is to accompany the Unicorn back to his country to be turned over to the Soviets. However, when they get over Soviet air space, Iron Man breaks out of the plane and makes it crash. Believing that the Unicorn has perished he returns to the States. The Unicorn survives as he has his own jet pack.
Changing back to Tony Stark, Tony and Pepper go to visit Happy who has just been taken off critical condition in the hospital. During their visit, Tony wonders if Pepper's niceties to Happy are to make him jealous or if they are genuine.
