### Alien Espionage

Karina is first seen in the locker room of the hall on her birthday. She meets up Jalen who plans to take her out to dinner but declines due to her having to work at the AE agency tonight. This prompts Jalen to get a job at the AE agency so he can work close to Karina. Meanwhile, an alien spaceship illegally crashes in Miami, the alien exits the ship, kills a human and takes on the form of his murdered victim. The alien begins to pose as a threat to the city and Marco brings over Jalen and Jayhaf to work at the AE agency.

Karina is then seen at the dressing room as Jalen and Jayhaf are dressed into their tuxedos. She watches and roots for the agents as they stop an acidic wave of slime from dissolving a forest. Thanks to Marco's technology, the agents use the spy car to evade the slime sprouts and to freeze the wave before it reached the forest. Karina cheers for Jalen as he saved the forest. In order to celebrate, they go over to Florida Freedom and Jayhaf invites Caroline.

At the restaurant, she invites the gang for a trip to the Bahamas and Marco decides to invite two friends. After the dinner, everybody heads home afterwards. Sometime in the morning, Karina is summoned back to the agency to tend the injuries of two alien ambassadors who are Marco's close friends. Marco is devastated by their deaths and goes into an empty room to mourn their deaths. Feeling sorry for Marco, Jalen and Jayhaf decides to go after the murderer responsible despite Jim's objections. Karina uses her computer skills to lead Jalen and Jayhaf over to the murderer's hideout. Afterwards, she finishes her work and shuts the system down.

The next morning, Jalen and Jayhaf are being scolded by Jim who learned that they destroyed the GILT night club. Karina, Marco and Lily enter the room and learn about the agents' actions.
