Quick recap

Gru has quit crime and makes jelly when agent Lucy Wilde recruits him for the Anti-Villain League. Someone has stolen PX-41, a powerful mutagen. Undercover at a cupcake shop in a mall, Gru and Lucy suspect Eduardo, a Mexican restaurant owner who looks a lot like El Macho, a villain everyone thinks is dead. Agnes wants a mom and thinks Lucy is the one. Lucy gets reassigned, and Gru is crushed. At Eduardo's party, Gru confirms it: he is El Macho, he has taken Dr. Nefario and turned Minions into purple monsters. Lucy gets captured. Gru, Nefario with an antidote, the girls and the Minions beat the villain. Gru saves Lucy, they get married, and the girls finally have a mom.
