## Episode Summary

**CLUB MEETING**

The scene opens up in the eerily empty floatball stadium, with the previously hung team banners now torn from the rats. The trio goes underneath the bleachers to enter The Club Room. Ryan places the patch he found on the centretable, and the group discuss what could have happened. Ryan suggests that the mascot must be part of SATAN. Aster apologises to him for the floordog incident, and suggests that there may be another power user in the university. Connor believes that they may discover more about their powers, and proposes to go to the SATAN fraternity to get answers.

Connor takes out Biwi’s cage, discovers that the door is slightly ajar. Aster selectively shapeshifts her head, elongating her face into a wolf’s, and sniffs the cage. She only picks up the scent of Biwi and Professor Aeliana, but notices that the cage was opened from within. The trio questions whether rats have thumbs. As the group leaves for the SATAN frat house, the official cancellation of the floatball game is announced, as well as free admission to that night’s play at Wilrise Theatre instead of a ticket refund. On the way, Ryan picks up a flyer for the musical, which is named “Rats!”.

**SIGMA ALPHA THETA ALPHA NU**

The trio arrive at the SATAN frat house where they are having a party with a cookout outside, and are greeted by a member dressed in a blood red toga and flip flops. Ryan daps him up. However, the group is unable to provide a codeword, and the member denies them access to the party. Another member goes to dap Connor up, in which Connor executes the best dap-up of his life. Connor claims that his name is Jonnor, and the member is so impressed at his dap-up that he decides to provide them with sets of toga robes, announcing them as honorary members who are allowed at the cookout. Ryan tries to dap Connor up, but Connor does not respond and they walk onto the lawn. Barely 3 feet in, someone else daps Ryan up.

Connor sticks by Ryan out of fear, but another noticeably buff member, Chet, begins approaching him. Connor puts Ryan between them and they banter. Connor accuses Chet of being a drama kid to draw attention, but it backfires and he is approached by another member and accused of starting drama. Connor daps him up. The trio explains that they are looking for the mascot, who Chet reveals to be named Jasmine. However, he also takes it as Connor seeking initiation into the frat. Every other member comes over and circles around them.

Connor is picked up and as the first step of initiation, is pitted in a game of beer pong, but misses almost every shot and is intoxicated. Next, he is put into the oil wrestling ring and is tackled repeatedly. He is then carried into the frat house for the next step, leaving nobody outside.

Ryan and Aster take the opportunity to sneak inside but are stopped by another member. Aster provides the wrong codeword, but Ryan mentions being a friend of another member present, Jack, and promises the member not to tell of any events that happen in the frat house. Ryan is accepted into the frat and lies to him that Aster hit Gary Gilmore with a hotdog. Aster claims that her name is Jaster to play along. When the member goes to dap her up, she shapeshifts her arm into a gorilla’s arm, hidden under her sweater, resulting in a strong dap. She blames her strength on her gardening, and is allowed in.

**INSIDE**

Inside, Ryan and Aster spot Connor being spun around in a circle in another room. In the final initiation step, Connor is offered a live chicken and a sacrificial knife before he spots Ryan and Aster in relief. Connor is reluctant, naming the chicken Jorge and hugging it. Ryan mentions needing to see Jasmine while Chet provides Connor with a different chicken to kill, but misspeaks and is swung at. Ryan responds by picking him up and slamming him on the ground, thus starting a mosh pit and a successful distraction. Aster and Connor sneak up the stairs, and bump into a girl Aster recognises from The Gardener guild. The girl shoos other members away, allowing Aster and Connor to pass through and introduces herself as Jasmine, the mascot. A successful summoning permits Crazy Frog to roll down the stairs

They talk and Jasmine reveals that she was not present at the floatball game and had lost the Biwi costume before it. Connor suggests putting in a good word about Jasmine to Professor Aeliana in exchange for her help, but Jasmine is unconvinced due to his drunken state. Connor throws up on Jasmine’s shoes, which causes Jasmine to leave but she mutters to someone that Aster and Connor cannot see on her way out. Connor lies down on the floor and falls asleep.

Aster shapeshifts into a rat and runs up the steps, noticing crumbs on the way. At the top of the steps, she sees Jasmine walking down the hall, away from a piece of cheese on the ground. She hears a chewing noise, and spots the grey nose of Biwi in a wall. As Biwi moves towards the cheese, she crawls into the hole left behind to discover more crumbs, shredded up and torn papers as well as a network of tunnels.

Meanwhile, after beating up multiple SATAN members, Ryan and Jack argue. Jack is disappointed that he beat up the frat members, letting Ryan choose between fighting him or leaving the frat house. Ryan chooses to leave, and Jack takes Ryan’s SATAN patch off before dapping each other up for the final time. As Ryan leaves the house, Connor tackles Jack, sending them flying.

Upstairs, Aster reverts back to her human form and picks up Biwi and leaves. Connor goes up the stairs to investigate, to the DM’s relief, but hears strange music on the way. The magical music compels him to go downstairs and beat up Ryan and Aster, but he tries to resist it. Ryan returns back to the house to get Aster and Connor and Aster shows him Biwi, to which Ryan questions why Biwi was there. He goes up the stairs to see Connor dramatically setting a fire in response to the magic. The door at the end of the hall opens and Jasmine walks out in horror. Ryan puts out the growing fire through clapping with super strength. He goes to look for Jasmine, who has left through the window.

**OUTSIDE**

Outside, Aster spots Jasmine climbing out the window. She helps her down and they talk. Aster asks Jasmine where the mascot suit might be but Jasmine is unsure. Aster asks if she knows of any rat-controlling magic users, to which Jasmine responds with confusion, commenting that it sounds like the plot of the “Rats” musical. She recalls Romeo, a drama student who tried to join the fraternity, stating that he said that “they’d regret it” when he got turned down. Jasmine then asks Aster to bring back the rat costume if she finds it, expressing worry over losing her job and Aster suggests that it might be at the theatre. Jasmine agrees and leaves for the theatre after Aster fails to convince her not to go.

Ryan carries Connor out of the house and meets with Aster. Ryan slaps Connor to try sober him up, but knocks him out instead. Aster uses a pressed chamomile to squeeze hot chamomile tea into Connor’s mouth and he wakes up sober and confused. The episode ends as Connor begs Ryan to never let him enter a frat party again.
