Synopsis

Lex demands to know from Ram who is behind the Zoot appearances and where Tai-San is but Ram has no knowledge of either. The confrontation ends when Ruby knocks out Lex from behind. Trudy tells Jay that Amber has returned but doesn't tell him about Amber wanting to be with him.

Lex regains consciousness and tells Ruby and Slade that Gabe is really Ram, the ex-leader of the Technos and the creator of Paradise. Slade refuses to turn Ram over to Lex, insisting he alone will decide what happens to Ram — and Lex. Ebony tells Siva about her latest message from Zoot but questions why Zoot is waiting to act.

Living on the street, Ellie is accosted by two thugs. She is rescued by some Zoot fanatics but confounds them by not knowing who Zoot is. Trudy's jealousy emerges when she finds Amber and Jay catching up on recent events. Siva voices her concerns to Java about Ebony's mental state.

Ellie is brought back to the school where Siva recognises her from her attempt on Ebony's life and Java orders she be locked up. Ebony questions Ellie about who sent her but Ellie doesn't remember who Ebony is either and Java is forced to intervene to save her life. While discussing May's odd behaviour, Salene tells Trudy she is excited about Jay and Amber being back together.

Slade decides to leave Liberty with Ram but Ruby has second thoughts and allows them to stay. When Ebony questions why Zoot sent her Ellie, Siva tries to encourage her to think for herself and not rely on Zoot. Java spikes Ebony's drink and puts a Reality Space headset on her while she is sleeping so she can interact with Zoot. Amber tells Jay that she wants them to be together.
