## Plot

### Part 1

##### Malakai and Flavia talk about Bennett

The first scene shows Malakai and Flavia in the lab. Malakai is getting diagnostic tests run on her software and hardware before the Spring Fling. While the tests are being run, Flavia asks what happened to Malakai last night, since Flavia was alerted of Malakai’s disappearance during her flight back home. Malakai tells her that she had an altercation with Bennie in a worn down and abandoned TAB building. Malakai then reveals that she was kissed by Bennie in an attempt to keep her quiet. Flavia is disappointed in Bennie, but not surprised she would do such thing.

###### Orange finds out Bodie is a robot

Outside the lab, Orange and Bodie are playing with action figures and dinosaurs. Bodie has a figure of wrestler Nyla Rose and Orange, coincidentally, has a figure of himself. The two use their figures to take down large dinosaurs and their army of smaller ones. Once very dinosaur is knocked down, Orange shakes Bodie’s hands and accidentally detaches them from his arms. Orange, in fear, puts Bodie’s hands in his pockets and runs into the lab with Bodie in his arms. Orange exclaims to Malakai and Flavia, afraid that he hurt Bodie. Flavia tells Orange that Bodie is a robot, and that his hands can be attached back on. Orange sighs with relief, putting Bodie down and attaching his hands back on his arms.

###### Malakai helps set up Spring Fling decorations

After successfully clearing her diagnostic tests, Malakai goes to the gymnasium at Maple Hills with her friends and family to help set up decorations for the Spring Fling. Orange and Chuck Taylor are seen assembling two wooden tables together, Flavia is making flowers out of tissue paper with Kourtney and Atlas, and Augustine and Maison are testing out the DJ’s mixing table. Malakai is helping Mr. Dillon create a balloon wall for pictures. While they are blowing up the balloons, Malakai accidentally pops one of the balloons in the process. The sound of the balloon popping triggers a flashback to when she was escaping the Ax4 guards with her mother. In the flashback, the first scene from the premiere episode I, Am Dazed and Confused is shown, where Malakai and Nathalie are running away from Ax4 in an attempt to avoid their gunshots. Mr. Dillon asks Malakai if everything is alright. Malakai tells him that everything is fine.
