'''''Mona Lisa's Revenge''''' was the fifth serial of [[Series 3 (SJA)|series 3]] of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was written by [[Phil Ford]] and directed by [[Joss Agnew]]. As the title suggests, it revealed that [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s most famous [[painting]], the ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', was a hostile entity. Furthermore, Clyde's exemplary art skills, which Luke had noticed in ''[[The Mark of the Berserker (TV story)|The Mark of the Berserker]]'', became a central point of this story, as did Clyde's experiences with alien life (in this case, facing [[Sontaran]]s) having influences on what he drew, and the subject of art in general. | |||

Clyde's painting, showing three women holding [[Sontaran]] blaster guns, is shown to the class, who applaud his work. Despite feeling slightly embarrassed, Clyde says that he takes comfort in drawing and asks Luke not to tell Sarah Jane that he drew [[K9 Mark IV|K9]].

Luke and Rani try to figure out why the ''Mona Lisa'' is alive. Clyde is forced to accompany ''Mona Lisa'' and Lionel as they try to find the hidden painting in the [[basement]]. Luke and Rani realise the paint used to create both paintings came from a sentient rock that fell to [[Earth]]. Meanwhile, the ''Mona Lisa'', Lionel, Clyde and ''The Dark Rider'' discover ''The Abomination'' painting in a locked cabinet. However, the puzzle lock is missing. Luke realises the Chinese Puzzle Box is needed to release ''The Abomination''. He is confronted by the ''Mona Lisa'' and Lionel. The ''Mona Lisa'' tells them she has Clyde in her possession. Upon receiving the box from Luke, Lionel smashes the box. Before she can shoot Lionel, Luke tells her of another way to release ''The Abomination''. | Luke and Rani try to figure out why the ''Mona Lisa'' is alive.

The ''Mona Lisa'' takes Luke and Rani to Clyde, whom Luke tells to draw a new Chinese Puzzle Box. Despite his and Rani's concerns, Clyde draws a new one. The ''Mona Lisa'' animates the box and uses it to open the cabinet holding ''The Abomination''. As the door opens and the energy is released, Luke opens the sketchpad to the [[K9 Mark IV drawing|drawing of K9]], allowing it to animate. The drawn K9 zaps ''The Abomination'', which prevents it from escaping, sending the ''Mona Lisa'' and ''The Dark Rider'' back into their paintings forever. Clyde is left puzzled when he looks round for K9 and discovers he has vanished. Everyone who was imprisoned in the paintings is now released, and Luke and Sarah Jane are reunited, as well as Lionel and Phyllis. Despite his apologies and eagerness to start a relationship, Phyllis angrily leaves Lionel in the chamber while Sarah Jane and the group reflect on the day's events. | The ''Mona Lisa'' takes Luke and Rani to Clyde, whom Luke tells to draw a new Chinese Puzzle Box.

Sarah Jane almost feels sorry that ''Mona Lisa'' is a [[consciousness]] trapped in a painting, though being trapped in a painting herself has soured her opinion of the woman. She praises Luke for being her clever, resourceful, and dependable son, who notes he is also messy and promises to clean his room when they get home. In the meantime, Sarah Jane thinks she needs to have a chat with Clyde about featuring Sontaran blasters in his artwork. He looks at her discouragingly until she puts her arm around him, letting him know she's just teasing, and the group smiles. | Sarah Jane almost feels sorry that ''Mona Lisa'' is a [[consciousness]] trapped in a painting, though being trapped in a painting herself has soured her opinion of the woman.
