Synopsis

Lex has become a champion of the people and Ram surprises everyone by letting him go free but requests he make further appearances in the arena with the assurance he will live — so long as the people love him.

Trudy suggests the Mall Rats leave the city while they can but Amber wants to stay and fight, hoping to find evidence of the Technos' experiments and broadcast it on CityNet. Jay gets physical with Ved demanding an explanation of the experiments. Jay warns Ved about the dangers he's getting himself into but Ved is confident they are building a new world. Jay cautions his brother not to make him an enemy.

Amber approaches Cloe to ask her to pretend to make up with Ved so she can find out where the people being used for the experiments are being kept. Mouse and Sammy take advantage of Lex's new-found celebrity status to make money by selling fake autographed photos.

Ebony encourages Jay to stand up to Ram before he becomes too powerful to be stopped. Ram explains his plan to keep the city under control using the ancient Roman technique of keeping the people entertained. Cloe gets Ved drunk and gets him to reveal confidential information.

Lex tries to sneak off to meet Siva but his adoring fans get in the way. Amber challenges Jay to do the right thing. She offers to provide him the evidence to prove what the Technos are doing is wrong and asks him not to ignore it when she does. Lex runs into Ved on the street and finally gets the chance to fight him. Using Cloe's intel, Sammy volunteers to sneak into the Technos' lab to film the kids inside.

Trivia

• Dee debuts a new tribestyle in this episode. She will continue wearing it for the reminder of the season.

Errors

• When Mouse takes photo of Lex to print, she takes it very close to his face. But when it is printed out, the camera angle is further away and Lex's hand is in a different position.
