Synopsis

Java controls Ebony's Reality Space experience with Zoot who tells her he will return "when the shadow comes at noon". Ram tells Slade he wants Lex deleted but Slade won't consider it. Ellie wanders into Ebony's room and gets an earful from Java. Trudy asks Jay about the state of their relationship but he is too distracted to give her proper attention but assures her they are okay.

May asks Jack to learn what he's doing and reports back to Mega that Jack is digging into the holograms. Amber tells Trudy she poured her heart out to Jay who didn't respond but Trudy is dismissive of her not wanting to deal with the issue. Lex wakes up to find himself chained to the bed by Ruby. When Amber apologises to Trudy for unloading her troubles on her, Trudy tries to explain about her and Jay but Amber stops her.

Zoot double Darryl wants a bigger role in Mega's plans and Mega assures him his time is coming. Ruby and Lex get to know one another but she doesn't fall for his charms. Gel, Mouse and Sammy earn Trudy's wrath when they make a mess of the kitchen.

Mega wants Jack taken care of before he becomes a problem and Java has the perfect candidate to get into the mall to take him out. Trudy accuses Jay of using her while Amber was away but Jay calms her down and explains she is the one he wants. Amber corners Jay to discuss their relationship but is irritated by his refusal to deal with the subject and walks out.
