Egon is nearing 40 and Janine points this out. But he refuses to back down and be only the old mentor, so he tags along with the team to investigate a paranormal attack on a brilliant professor. But in doing drives the Ecto 1 over spikes, after not being able to see the sign saying NO ENTRY. The professor is taken back for study, and his brain waves show no activity what so every, and his behavior makes him out like a babbling idiot. Egon also finds a feather at the sight, which gives the DNA of a dog, a snake, an eagle, and a lion. He points out this must be the Greek Sphinx at work.
Apparently the ghost of ancient legend is skulking about the city, seeking out intelligent people to answer his riddle. Those that fail have their intelligence sucked literally out of them. The XGB find this out after investigating more cases like the professor, several Brainiac friends, and an entire building full of MENSA members. Along the way Garrett gives Egon a cane to help his bad leg, this and Eduardo's jokes don't help his middle age spirits.

The team blasts their way through the complex, finally cornering the Sphinx, but he continues asking them to answer the riddle, they refuse and he grows more vicious. So finally Egon steps up and takes the riddle everyone else could not. So the Sphinx asks, "What walks on Four Legs in the morning, Two in the afternoon, and Three at Night?".
Egon answers MAN. He walks on four as a baby, two as a grown man, and with his own cane, points out three in old age. The answer is right and the Sphinx is baffled and his feathers begin falling put in stress. He tries asking another riddle but the XGB don't give him a chance, they blast him and trap him as he literally falls apart in rage over someone getting a right answer.
