## Sypnosis

Being the sole provider for her younger sister pushes Janice to sell defective items online. Unknown to her, a faulty appliance she sold leads to the death of an elderly woman. *Janice* soon realizes that there is a price to pay for her misdeeds as the ghost of her victim starts to haunt her, along with the disappearance of her sister.

## Plot

The episode begins with *Janice* waking up from a loud noise coming from her house’s living room. She steps out of her bedroom and sees her sister Joan sitting in a couch infront of a tv showing nothing but static (which was the source of the noise Janice heard earlier). She calls out Joan’s name before Joan turns around and stares at the dining room before staring back at Janice. Joan takes a breather and explains to her sister that their mother’s ghost wanted to watch television with Joan like they used to before Janice asked Joan to tell their mother that they can do fine without her.

The next day, she is in the middle of a live stream on her phone where she is showing items she is planning to sell, starting with a pancake maker in which a person named "Olivia" is planning to purchase it. Just as Janice is about to show the next item, she received messages from her other phone from three customers in which one complained about her microwave being broken when she stated that its "slightly used", while the other customer complained about her speakers being broken immediately, and the other claimed that the electric fan she was selling overheats, they all later wanted Janice to return their money. Deciding to shrug it off infront of her viewers, she decided to stop streaming and continue next time.

She continues live streaming and plans to sell a flat screen television where another person by the name of "Carlos Navarro" plans to purchase it. A person by the name of "Dominic Corneto" asks Janice on what was her Facebook account in the middle of the stream. She decides not to give it away by asking a deal by buying something.

Janice is then seen wrapping all the items previously purchased. She then checks on her Digi Bank account before giving her deliveries to a delivery guy. The following afternoon, Joan is leaving for her school before being stopped by Janice to give her money for her project and her breather. The following night, Janice is creating a page in Fazzgram until she had no connection when planning to do so. While refreshing, her power suddenly got cut, she then heads over to a window to open the curtains. Suddenly, she sees a man infront of her window with his hands filled with burns, who is calling Janice a "scammer" before claiming that his TV exploded, revealing that this man is Carlo Navarro.

Still no electricity, she attempts calling Joan, unfortunately, there was no signal. She decides to call "Ferdz" (Who Janice knew as the boy that wanted to be with Joan during school), who claims that Joan isnt with him. While calling the authorities, her fan and blender suddenly turns on, panicking Janice. She then heard her television displaying static again and sees an elderly woman before disappearing after Janice turns around. She swiftly picks up her phone and searched for Carlo Navarro on Fazzgram before entering his page and sees his recent post where his "Lola Cora" suddenly passed away.

Noticing a breather in her table, Janice immediately picks it up and drove her car into an old house, where she sees the ghost of Lola Cora in the living room, in which Janice immediately apologized to her. Janice turns around and sees Carlo, who confronts Janice and revealing that he kidnapped Joan. Janice sees Joan gasping for air and giving her the breather, while Carlo was confronted by the ghost of Lola Cora. Janice and Joan attempt to escape using Janice’s car. However, during the drive, Janice finds out that her car’s brakes arent working. Eventually, her car crashes, it is unknown whether Janice and Joan survived as the scene cuts to a white flash before a crash can be heard.
