Synopsis

Lex returns to the mall and tells the Mall Rats all about Liberty — including Ram's presence and of running into Jay. Unaware of Trudy and Jay's relationship, Lex is dismissive of her when she asks if Jay gave him a message for her. Darryl tries it on with Ebony and pays the price.

Salene returns to the mall with May in tow and defends her right to stay, throwing Amber's glowing CityNet broadcast back at her. Mega meets with Jack and offers him a job. Amber explains to Salene she was forced to make the broadcast due to Mega's threats, prompting Salene to suggest Mega could have also used the same tactics on May to make her spy for him.

Gel fawns over Lex and is over the moon when he accepts her dinner invitation. Darryl, dressed as Zoot, comes to Ebony's aid when she is confronted by some angry kids who know her from the city. May approaches Amber and offers to leave the mall if that it is what she wants but having a better understanding of Mega's manipulations, Amber lets her stay.

Lottie steals Ram's new computer component in the chaos surrounding Jay's first encounter with Ram. Jay must be restrained by Slade and Siva explains it was Mega, not Ram, who deleted Ved. Lex's evening with Gel ends when she has too much to drink and falls asleep. Java is delivered a disc containing an image of Ram. Mega tells Jack he wants him to design an electrical correction system that doubles as a source of entertainment.
