## Synopsis

In a flashback to a Friends of P. mission in San Simeon Bay, Mega Man, Wheeler, Virginia, and Cal fill their packs with supplies. Cal mentions that they're making good time and should be in and out faster than they thought. Mega Man and Virginia exchange quips. As Wheeler and the others continue to loot, he looks to his left and notices a door, marked “Personal property of William San Simeon: NO ADMITTANCE SHALL BE ALLOWED, UNLESS BY MR. SAN SIMEON HIMSELF.” He runs over to the door and cracks open a security panel. Mega Man approaches him and asks what he's doing and Wheeler replies that they have plenty of time, saying there could be something valuable in there. Cal urges Wheeler to let it go and escape, but Wheeler is insistent on getting the door opened. The next thing they know, they are escaping through an airplane hangar as alarms blare all around them. P. and A.C. Montana have joined up with them and the gang sprint for their exit. They sprint faster as the massive hangar doors slowly close. Wheeler starts to run behind with the supplies. Mega Man stops beside him and grabs some of the loot. P. begins to blame himself, until A.C. quells these thoughts. The two keep running as Wheeler trips and falls behind, dropping the supplies he had. Everyone turns around, but Wheeler urges everyone to remember the code and keep going. Mega Man, Virginia, and Cal quickly pull him up and grab the supplies. P. and A.C. run out of the door and turn around to witness the last four dive out with all of the supplies. P. and A..C help them up. They keep running along the path, looking over their shoulders for guards. Suddenly, Rudolph appears next to them flying a plane over the cliffside. He leans over and opens the side door. Everyone quickly load the supplies onto Rudolph’s plane and then climb in themselves. P. climbs into the passenger seat while everyone else piles into the back. Once on the plane and everybody starts to calm down, P. thanks Rudolph for the rescue and Wheeler starts to apologize for his carelessness. P. tells Wheeler that knocking of San Simeon Bay is not an easy thing to do, but they did it, although it was messy. The gang comfort Wheeler and the plane flies off into the distance, leaving San Simeon Bay behind.

Back in the present, Rod NaCervera sits in his office and works on his computer and goes over some papers. He appears slightly annoyed. An agent knocks on the door. As the agent enters the office, she informs Rod that she's picked up his mail and Rod tells her to leave it on his desk. She tells him that the one on top looks important, but Rod doesn't respond. The agent leaves as Rod picks up his mail and opens up the urgent letter. The letter is sent from William San Simeon, inviting several higher-ups from various ecosystems to San Simeon Bay for a party to discuss business. Rod discards the letter. He turns to his computer and sees a new message, informing him that his contact is ready for a job tonight. Rod tells his contact that he's preparing his crew now. He gets another message informing him of the location and Rod replies that it's understood. Rod closes the messenger and stands up, stacking his papers, preparing to leave. As he gets his things together, Jesus enters the room, asking Rod if he's in a rush. Rod begins to frustratedly speak to Jesus, prompting Jesus to remind him who he's talking to. Rod informs Jesus that the deal he's been working on for weeks is finally ready, but Jesus tells Rod to cancel, as he has to attend the party at San Simeon Bay. Rod explains that he can't and Jesus makes a deal with Rod, telling him that he can go through with his own job, so long as he doubles his kick-up to Jesus for this job. Rod starts to deny only for Jesus to snap and grabs Rod’s throat and slams him against his desk. Jesus warns Rod to watch his attitude around him or else they're going to have a different conversation. When Rod says that he understands, Jesus helps him up and dusts himself off, asking Rod to walk him out.

Outside the warehouse, Jonas and Maria, on guard duty, discuss their plans to leave the Friends of C. that night. Maria is nervous, but Jonas reassures her that everything will be all right. Rod and Jesus walk out of the warehouse, shutting Jonas and Maria up, but Jesus tells them not to stop on his account. Jonas apologizes and Jesus and Rod walk away, out of earshot. Jesus tells Rod that Big Daddy C. isn't happy about how Rod's arms deal went down, and Rod replies that he isn't happy about it either. Jesus tells him that they believe some of the agents on Rod's crew may have been involved, thinking there's a rat. Rod insists that he doesn't have any traitors on his crew, but Jesus is insistent. He tells Rod that his crew may be comprise of idiots, but they have eyes and can sense a weakness in leadership and aren't afraid to exploit it. Jesus reminds Rod that this crew is his and tells him to stand his ground and take action. He also warns him not to go soft on Alphaville. After their conversation, Jesus gets into his car and leaves. Meanwhile, Maria asks Jonas if he thinks Jesus and Rod know, but Jonas believes they don't, but either way, they should get going. As they start to get up, Rod asks where they're going. Jonas starts to lie, saying that they have a lead, but Rod tells them to save it for another time, as he needs all hands on deck for a job in Alphaville. Jonas and Maria reluctantly follow him into the warehouse where Rod informs his crew about the job that night and how he doesn't want them to let him down. Rod looks over at Jonas and Maria and asks if he's boring them. Rod then asks about the lead. Maria wishes to discuss this privately, but Rod accuses her of hiding something from the crew. Maria admits that it's her and Jonas's anniversary and they have reservations at a hotel Rod asks her if this is important to her, which she replies that is. Rod then explodes, telling her that this job is important to him and he doesn't want them blowing it off. As Rod's anger grows, a small breeze engulfs the warehouse. Jonas pleads with Rod, telling him that he doesn't need both of them and says that Maria can go to the hotel, while Jonas stays behind and completes the mission. The breeze disappears as Rod agrees to these stipulations. He tells Maria to get going and tells Jonas he's not to leave the warehouse until that night, assigning him to inventory duty. Rod returns to his office as Jonas escorts Maria out. Once outside, Jonas gives Maria his gun and tells her to get to the mill and wait for him. As they part ways, an agent steps outside and tells Jonas that he needs to get back inside. Jonas kisses Maria and she leaves the warehouse. Jonas smiles a worried smile and returns inside the warehouse. Rod watches Jonas return to the warehouse and gives him a suspicious look, though he isn’t aware of this.

In Alphaville, Summer Girl exits her house, intending to head for the docks until a mail carrier stops her, greeting her and handing her a letter. The mail carrier continues her route while Summer opens up her letter. The same as Rod’s. Summer places the letter in her pocket and heads to the docks.

At P.'s mansion, Rudolph's car pulls into the driveway and he frantically runs to the front door and knocks. Mega Man opens the door and asks Rudolph what's going on. Rudolph says he needs to talk to him immediately. Rudolph goes to step into the house, but stops just shy of doing so, first asking if he can come in. Mega Man invites him in and he enters, pacing around. Mega Man calls P. into the room and P. asks Rudolph what's going on. Rudolph explains that he has a line on something huge and informs them of the party at San Simeon Bay. Upon hearing the location, Mega Man denies the mission, but P. attempts to convince him to reconsider. Rudolph explains that while he's aware of the risks, he says that there are a lot of starving people that could use those supplies. P. doesn't acknowledge Rudolph, but stays focused on Mega Man, telling him that this could be their redemption for last time. Mega Man asks if they should discuss it with A.C. first, but P. says that they don't have time and that this one is on the two of them. P. is eventually able to convince Mega Man to agree to the mission, much to his pleasure. P. immediately rushes off to inform the rest of the gang, but Rudolph cautiously tells P. to be careful, as he doesn't want to have to perform another last minute rescue. Mega Man watches with a worried, yet optimistic look on his face.

At the mercenary compound, Sharp sits in his usual spot in the back strumming his guitar by himself. In the background, the phone starts to ring and the bartender answers. The bartender tells Sharp the call is for him and he answers. P. informs Sharp that they've got a big job ahead of them and needs him to meet as his mansion in an hour. Sharp agrees, citing the large amount of money in it for him and hangs up, promising P. he'll be there. Sharp hangs up the phone and picks up his guitar, slings it over his shoulder and leaves the bar, waving to the bartender on the way out, who nods at him. In P.'s living room, P. sits in the living room with Rudolph, Mega Man, and the newly arrived A.C. Montana, who inquires about the sudden urgency. P. asks A.C. if he remembers when they knocked off San Simeon Bay, with Mega Man adding that they've barely accomplished it. A.C. says that he remembers and P. explains that they're going back. A.C. is naturally skeptical and brings up all of the potential risks, but P. explains his stance and how they're going in with a "distinct advantage" this time and explains that it's too late to back out, as he's already secured an industrial drill that they'll be using for the job. A.C. agrees to go, but forces P. to let Wheeler make the choice for himself whether or not he goes back. P. half-heartedly agrees. He then stands up and tells Mega Man and A.C. that he wants them to go pick up the drill and gives them the address.

The camera finds an old beat up car driving down a long patch of dirt road with farmlands strewn about. Inside, A.C. Montana drives while Mega Man sits in the passenger seat. Terrible music plays over the radio. Inside, A.C. expresses concern over the mission and how they'll be able to remain unseen and unheard with a large industrial drill. Mega Man starts to address these concerns, but first turns off the radio, once again insulting A.C.'s music taste. Mega Man, rather optimistically, says that he believes they'll be able to pull this one off, he's only worried about how things will go with Summer and Sharp, which A.C. correctly assumes. Mega Man then begins to have his doubts and it's A.C. who quells them. He tells Mega Man that they just need to make sure they keep P. on track. A.C. then turns the radio back on, much to Mega Man's displeasure.

Back in P.'s living room, Rudolph sits in his spot going over the plans with P. when the door knocks. Rudolph gets up to answer it and Sharp enters, greeting them. Rudolph invites Sharp to join he and P. in coming up with a plan, but Sharp denies, only for Rudolph to scold him. P. calls Sharp over and Sharp walks over to P. leaving Rudolph with a somewhat annoyed expression, while P. turns a paper over to Sharp, with a photograph of the drill on it. P. asks Sharp if he knows how to drive one of those, but Sharp says that he'd imagine it's like any other car and that he could figure it out. Rudolph says that they'd best leave the driving to Wheeler, as he's the best driver they know. Sharp is offended by this, insisting that he's the best driver. P. tells Sharp that he meant no offense and Rudolph explains that they can't take any unnecessary risks for this one. Rudolph then asks where Wheeler is when a knock rings out. P. says that he'd imagine he's right there. Rudolph gets up to get the door as P. turns to Sharp and asks him a question about the plan. At the door, Rudolph and Wheeler greet each other. Wheeler asks what's going on and Rudolph says that he'd best ask P. about it. Wheeler enters and approaches P. and Sharp with Rudolph close behind. Wheeler asks P. what's going on and P. informs them that they're returning to San Simeon Bay and Wheeler immediately replies that he's in. P. is taken aback by this, but Wheeler explains that he's not going to make the same mistake as last time and that he's ready for revenge. P. is over the moon to hear this and immediately brings him over to help with the plan. P. excitedly starts to explain the details to Wheeler, but first wonders where Summer is.

At the industrial storehouse, Mega Man sits in the driver’s seat of the large industrial drill and turns on the engine, and is impressed with the drill's power. A.C. watches Mega Man with an old farmer as A.C. hands him some cash. The old farmer asks A.C. what the money is for, claiming that P. had already paid him, and even then it was more than he'd asked for. The farmer explains that the Friends of P. helped keep his farm afloat and says that he should be giving him the drill for free, but business is business. A.C. puts his money away. Mega Man asks if he can be the driver instead. The old farmer tells A.C. that that Mega Man has a Cosmonaut suit and is excited by an old drill. A.C. admits that he sometimes forgets that Mega Man is still very young, despite all he's been through. A.C. then tells Mega Man to turn the drill off, as they need to get back. Mega Man turns off the drill and hitches it to the back of A.C.'s car. A.C. thanks the farmer and shakes his hand as he and Mega Man depart. In San Simeon Bay, William San Simeon approaches a Cosmonaut and thanks him for his help in making sure his party goes smoothly and safely. The Cosmonaut admits that he and his entire unit are grateful for the opportunity.

At the Friends of C. warehouse, Rod NaCervera oversees the mobilization for the coming heist that evening. He walks through the warehouse as several of his agents prepare extra weapons and surveillance devices. Rod urges everybody to pick up the pace. He then walks over to Jonas and asks to see him in his office. Rod tells him that he's going to Alphaville early to make sure everything is going smoothly over there as well and tells Jonas that he's placing him in charge of making sure everything goes smoothly at the warehouse. Jonas nervously accepts the responsibility as Rod gets up to leave. Jonas sits in the office alone, contemplating his new responsibilities.

At P.'s mansion, Summer arrives and begins to walk up to the house, only to be greeted by Sharp who has stepped out for a break. He sarcastically tells Summer that he's glad she could make it. Summer tells Sharp not to get used to her presence, as she's only here to tell P. that she can't make it. Sharp warns her that P. isn't going to be happy about that. Summer starts to explain her reasoning when Sharp notices something behind her and exclaims. Summer turns around and Sharp joins her side as A.C. and Mega Man return with the drill. A.C. steps out of the car and greets Summer, saying that he's glad she made it. Summer begins to explain to A.C. why she can't stay, only for P. to step out and interrupt them, inviting them all back inside. P. asks how things went with the drill and A.C. replies that everything went great and asks how things went here. P. admits that he has no complaints and claims that this job is going to be their masterpiece. P. then personally greets Summer and puts his arm around her, bringing her into the house, followed by Mega Man, Sharp, and A.C. Summer enters and is blown away by the amount of planning that has gone into this next mission. She looks at the room and looks at the many planning boards and papers all over the floor in a messy, yet organized manner. She looks at Rudolph who sits on the floor, scribbling on another piece of paper while Wheeler sits on the couch, going over the schematics for the drill. Rudolph looks up. Rudolph gets up and happily greets Summer, followed by a greeting from Wheeler. P. tells Summer to take a seat so he can go over her part of the plan, but Summer says that she can't stay. Summer explains that she has Season business that night and that she can't help them with the mission. P. asks what sort of business she has and Summer glances at A.C., who gives her a reassuring nod. Summer looks over at A.C., who gives her a reassuring nod. Summer takes out her invitation from her pocket and reads it: *“As a member of the higher community of Alphaville and one of the esteemed Seasons, you are cordially invited to a meeting of the greatest minds the world has to offer. Please accept this invitation and join us at San Simeon Bay tonight for food and festivities, courtesy of your friend, William San Simeon. We hope to see you there!”* Summer explains that she can't miss this as Rod is unavailable and it'd be bad for them if they aren't there. P. shocks her by saying that this is great news and shows her the plans, revealing to her that they plan on knocking off San Simeon Bay. Summer tells P. that she's unsure. She's says she's happy to help, but tells him that she has other responsibilities at this party. P. assures her that she'll be able to get done everything she needs to that night. A.C. then asks P. to join him in the kitchen for a discussion, bringing Mega Man along.

In the kitchen, A.C. explains to P. that Summer isn't joking about the seriousness of what she has to do. P. replies that he knows. A.C. reminds P. that Summer has real stakes riding on this one and Wheeler has a lot on his shoulders. He also reminds P. that going to San Simeon Bay isn't about revenge for what happened last time, it's about helping people. P. becomes irritated, asking if A.C. thinks P. forgot how to handle himself. A.C. denies this and Mega Man explains that P. is always looking out for them, they're just making sure he's got people looking out for him. P. thanks them for his concern and says that they have to get the new plan together and get prepared and asks them if they're ready. They both reply that they are. Mega Man excuses himself and goes into the bathroom first. Mega Man closes and locks the door and examines his suit, coughing as he does so, clearly having held it in a while. He sits on the floor and double checks that his suit is working properly. Once he’s sure that it is, he stands back up and opens the door, only to find Summer standing there. Mega Man tells Summer than he has her back in there and Summer replies that she has his too, harkening back to their conversation at the camp from their last mission. The two share an awkward smile and Summer enters the bathroom and Mega Man returns to help the others with the plan.

In Alphaville, Rod exits the tram and makes his way towards the ports. Rod quickly makes his way towards the elevator as an official greets him, which annoys him. Inside the elevator, Rod checks his watch, impatiently awaiting his destination. Rod exits the elevator before the doors have a chance to open all the way. He makes his way over to the corrupt city official who’s been monitoring the ports. The corrupt official greets Rod and asks him if there's been any problems there. The official explains that there hasn't been other than Summer snooping around and bringing another guy with her. Rod says that they don't have to worry about them tonight. The official commends Rod's planning and Rod tells him to get ready.

At the warehouse, two agents talk about the traitors. One claims it was the two agents that were sent on the arms deal and as they discuss it further, they realize that they haven't seen them or the weapons since. They resolve to tell Rod only to be interrupted by Jonas, who tells them that whatever they can tell Rod they can tell him. One of the agents tells Jonas that they've figured out who the traitors are. Jonas says that he'll tell Rod himself, but the other agent says that he already sent a text. Jonas becomes angry, saying that he didn't authorize him to send that text. The agent angrily tells Jonas that he's not really the boss and the two enter a fistfight, drawing a crowd. Jonas and the agent continue fighting until Jesus arrives wearing a stylish suit and breaks the two up. He angrily demands to know what's going on and both Jonas and the agent apologize to him. Jesus angrily calls for Rod to come out of the office, but Jonas informs him that Rod isn't in and the he left him in charge. Jesus asks if they think this is how the Friends of C. do business and both Jonas and the agent apologize once again. Jesus then tells everyone else to listen up and explains that the job tonight is important to Rod, himself, and Big Daddy C. and that he doesn't want any more nonsense. He says that after what he's seen, he's worried about how the mission will turn out. He says that he came by to get his briefcase, not to babysit and tells them all to get back to work. He enters Rod's office and grabs his briefcase, and makes his way out of the warehouse, calling Rod's crew a bunch of animals. Jonas sits back quietly while the Friend of C. follows Jesus outside.

Jesus walks up to his car as he and his guards prepare to leave when the agent approaches him and informs him that they've discovered who the rats are. Jesus inquires and the agent explains that it's the two agents that were sent on the job at the Charter Mill. Jesus thanks the agent and tells him to go back to work. Once inside his car, Jesus calls Rod and angrily tells him that he needs to get his crew together. Rod asks what happened and Jesus explains that he found them fighting at the warehouse. Rod asks who it was, but Jesus doesn't say, just that this is on him. Jesus also informs Rod that they've discovered who the traitors are and he's sending some of his guys to the Charter Mill to investigate. He asks Rod if he knows what he has to do when the traitors are found and Rod replies that he does. Jesus hangs up.

Back at P.'s mansion, With the plan in place, everyone gets ready to make an appearance at the party. Summer has put on a nice dress while P. and A.C. have put on nice suits. Sharp puts on a driver’s clothes while Mega Man prepares bags for the stolen goods. Rudolph helps everyone get ready. P. ties his tie in a mirror. Summer announces that she's going to get going and she'll see them all there. Before she goes, P. calls everybody together and says although they've done this before, that doesn't mean it'll be the same. He mentions to Summer and Sharp specifically that they've never been there before and they'll need to familiarize themselves with their surroundings. Sharp says that he's ready. P. goes on to say that they shouldn't lose sight of the mission objective, which is to get whatever they can and get out, urging them to stick to the code. P. then turns to Mega Man and reminds him that it's very important that he is not seen, as his suit is a dead giveaway that something is wrong, since it's out of date. P. then asks where Wheeler is with the invitations and he returns handing out forged invitations for P., A.C., and Rudolph as well as giving Summer her original back. Rudolph compliments Wheeler's work. P. reads his invitation, learning of his new identity as "Chester Monroe." Mega Man asks if San Simeon will recognize his own employees and Wheeler explains that he found a guest list and created fake names and positions from there. P. compliments Wheeler's skills and heads out, along with Summer, A.C., Sharp, and Rudolph. Mega Man asks Wheeler how he's feeling and he replies that he's ready.

Later that night, the party is already well underway by the time Summer arrives. She knows that P., A.C., Rudolph, and Sharp are about a mile back up the road, waiting until she goes on. Summer puts her earpiece in. Summer asks if they can hear her and A.C. replies that they can. After A.C. says "copy that" P. starts to tease him, prompting some joking around from himself, A.C., and Rudolph, much to Sharp's subdued amusement. Summer walks up to the front gate and rings the buzzer. A Cosmonaut opens the gates and approaches her. Summer hands him her invitation and she is let into the party. Summer enters through the gates and looks at her surroundings. She observes a swath of businessmen and women chatting with each other and enjoying an exorbitant amount of food. Summer walks around, tensed up and nervous. She grabs some food from the buffet and scans the area. She makes her way up to a balcony where she can oversee the bay. She locates the airplane hangar and the storehouses right behind her. She can see employees and Cosmonauts filing in and out with supplies for the party. She breathes a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Jesus approaches her and asks if everything is all right. Summer replies that she's fine, just taking in the view. Jesus says that the view is beautiful. Summer introduces herself and Jesus asks what it is she does. Summer replies that she's one of the Seasons in Alphaville, prompting a flicker of recognition from Jesus. He excuses himself and leaves the balcony while Summer continues to overlook the area. As she glances towards the main gates, she sees Rudolph’s car arriving.

Underground, Mega Man and Wheeler sit in the drill, making their way towards San Simeon Bay. Meanwhile, P., A.C., Sharp, and Rudolph arrive. P. turns to his friends and tells them that if they've timed it right, Mega Man and Wheeler should be under the storehouse in about ten minutes. A Cosmonaut then approaches them and tells Sharp that drivers and other non essential guests are to abstain from the fairgrounds. Sharp is then escorted as the Cosmonaut informs the others that when they are ready to leave, let the Cosmonauts know and they will fetch their driver. As Sharp and the Cosmonaut leave, P. says that it's time to rub elbows with the rich and powerful. Rudolph tells P. to do what he wants, as he's starving and heads straight for the buffet. As P. starts introducing himself to businessmen, Summer approaches A.C. and introduces herself. A.C. smiles and plays along, introducing himself as Howard McGill and Rudolph as Tony McNulty. The three then start making small talk to disguise themselves.

In the hangar, Sharp walks through, being escorted by a Cosmonaut and witnesses all the other drivers and lackeys standing around, waiting. Once Sharp enters, the Cosmonaut leaves and closes the door, locking it behind him. As Sharp examines the door, another driver approaches him and asks if it's his first time as a driver, as she hasn't seen him there before. Sharp replies that he's new and he just started at "the agency" prompting laughs from all the other drivers around. Sharp awkwardly dismisses himself and heads towards the back of the hangar. Sharp looks around, finding the hangar strangely empty. He asks if there's anything for him to eat and another driver says that the food is for guests only. Sharp convinces the driver that they should do something about that and tries to get him to sneak next door to the storehouse. The driver is unsure, but Sharp insists and has him follow him. Sharp and the driver walk to the back of the hangar to an open door. Sharp peaks through and notices some Cosmonauts walking around. Sharp looks around the room again and finds a second door. He realizes it’s locked and gets down on one knee, preparing to pick it. The driver asks what he's doing and Sharp replies that he's getting them food, rolling his eyes but gets the door open relatively quickly. He realizes the hall is empty and enters, with the driver close behind, closing the door as they pass. In the next hallway, Sharp and the driver sneak around, looking for another exit. The driver asks Sharp where he learned to pick locks and Sharp replies that the agency taught him, in case the keys get locked in the car. The driver is impressed, saying that he might apply with the agency, with Sharp sarcastically telling him that he should go for it.

Back underground, Mega Man and Wheeler arrive in position and turn off the drill. Wheeler presses some buttons on the drill and it angles itself upwards. Mega Man and Wheeler tilt upwards. The two eventually reach the abandoned sewer tunnel containing the hatch to the storehouse. Mega Man gets out of the drill and looks up, noticing a ladder pointing to a locked trapdoor. Now in position, Mega Man says that all they have to do now is sit and wait for Sharp. Above ground, Sharp and the driver have made their way outside and crouch beneath a window leading to the storehouse. From his earpiece, P. asks Sharp how things are going and Sharp replies that he's pretty much there, confusing the driver. Sharp peaks in through a window at the storehouse and realizes it’s empty for the moment. He starts climbing in through the window. The driver asks Sharp what he's doing and Sharp angrily tells the driver to sit and wait. Sharp drops down from the window onto the table and looks over the bounty of food and supplies. Sharp picks up a sandwich, thinks about it for a minute, and tosses it out the window. Outside, the driver picks up the sandwich and starts eating. A Cosmonaut approaches and tells the driver he's not authorized to be here. The Cosmonaut looks at the opened window, the sandwich, and the driver and takes the driver away, much to his protest, closing the window as well. Inside the storehouse, Sharp locates the hatch and calls for Mega Man and Wheeler, calling them "Cosmo and Wheels," nicknames which neither of them like.

At the fairgrounds, Summer, P., A.C., and Rudolph walk around, taking in their surroundings. P. walks over to the main house, as A.C. asks what he's doing. P. asks if A.C. is even a little curious. The rest reluctantly follow P. into San Simeon's house. Once inside, they are blown away by the stunning architecture and paintings of San Simeon hanging on the wall. Guests gather around the foyer, chatting. Jesus approaches again and greets Summer asking if she likes San Simeon's dwellings. P., A.C., and Rudolph introduce themselves by their pseudonyms and Jesus introduces himself. P. then realizes who Jesus and A.C. realizes this. P. asks Jesus what he does for a job and he replies that he and San Simeon are business partners and close friends. P. makes a joke and he and Jesus share an awkward laugh. Jesus says that San Simeon will be greeting his guests soon and asks if they'd like to join him. P. replies that he'd be delighted and also asks if he'd like to talk privately about some ideas. Jesus says that it shouldn't be a problem and starts leading them to the hall. As they walk, A.C. taps P. on the shoulder and tells him not to do anything stupid, saying they aren't here for Jesus, they're here for the supplies. P. reluctantly agrees. In the hall, a multitude of other guests stand around waiting for San Simeon to greet them. P. is disgusted by this. William San Simeon then steps out and gives a speech to his guests, which the Friends of P. are forced to reluctantly clap to. After the speech, the crowd begins to disperse and Summer suggests they had to the storehouse now, but are interrupted when San Simeon approaches Jesus to talk. P. takes this opportunity to introduce himself to San Simeon. San Simeon then introduces himself to Summer who says that he's delighted to have one of the famed Seasons in his presence tonight. Seeing Summer, clearly uncomfortable with this interaction, P. attempts to excuse them, only for San Simeon to invite all of them to dine at his private table.

In the abandoned sewer tunnel, Sharp climbs down the ladder and greets Mega Man and Wheeler. He informs them that the workers funnel in and out, so timing is key. He says that Mega Man and Wheeler should go first while Sharp stays down in the tunnel and loads the drill up. Wheeler chastises Sharp for taking the easy job, but Sharp says that someone has to do it and it might as well be him. Mega Man and Wheeler climb the ladder and begin sending items down to Sharp.

At the Charter Mill, Maria sits by herself in the cabin, playing with her ring, inscribed *“Jonas and Maria <3”* and waits for Jonas to return. She looks over at the silo and decides to take a walk. Maria walks along the exterior of the property towards the silo. As she gets closer she recoils from a smell, she is unable to determine the source of. She walks closer to the silo, covering her nose as she gets closer. Maria enters the silo and looks around, eventually finding the rotting corpse of her former crewmate. Maria exits the silo and turns around to see a green car approaching. She turns and sprints back towards the cabin, praying that she hasn’t been spotted. Maria glances out the window and finds a group of Friends of C. agents searching the property. Realizing what’s about to happen, she runs and hides, eventually finding the door to the basement. Maria enters the basement and finds the rotting corpse of her other former crewmate, still tied to the chair. Maria runs back upstairs and begins searching for another hiding place. As she glances out the window and sees a few agents making their way towards the cabin, Maria frantically looks around some more, eventually noticing the dried blood trail, she crawls over to the end and uses the same secret passage P. had used previously and closes the door behind her, locking her in. Realizing she's safe, for the moment, she waits for the danger to pass, hoping Jonas is able to find her and rescue her. She reaches down to her hand and realizes that her ring is missing and sees the skeletons of Mary and Ellody Charter, realizing the similarities between their situation and her own.

At the fairgrounds dining area, Summer, P., A.C., Rudolph, Jesus, and San Simeon have finished their meals and sit around the table discussing business. San Simeon tells Summer that the concept of Alphaville fascinates him and says that he'd like to pay a visit some day. P. asks San Simeon how long he and Jesus have been working together and San Simeon explains that they've been working together for the better part of a decade and he's been instrumental in helping keep a certain "group of renegades" at bay. P. asks how Jesus has helped and Jesus explains that he runs a security company that provides extra protection for San Simeon's warehouses and trade routes. Jesus then comments that he's surprised "Mr. Monroe" hasn't had any problems with them. P. replies that he is surprised as well. San Simeon then invites them all to join him, as he has something very special he'd like to show them all, but it's top secret. P. and A.C. say that they'd love to take a look, but Rudolph excuses himself, saying he'd like to get in touch with some clients. San Simeon respects this. William, Jesus, and Summer get up to leave. Rudolph leans in towards P. and A.C. and tells them that he'll keep an eye on things up here, which they agree with.

In the storehouse, Sharp and Wheeler take their shift sending supplies down to Mega Man, avoiding Cosmonauts and workers as they do. Sharp comments that they've been here for so long and taken so much stuff, it doesn't even look like they've made a dent. Wheeler says that it should just go to show him. Mega Man calls up to them and says that their shift is almost up and they should head back down soon. The doors of the storehouse open as Sharp and Wheeler duck down. They sneak a peak and witness William San Simeon leading Summer, P., A.C., and Jesus to his giant door, marked “Personal property of William San Simeon: NO ADMITTANCE SHALL BE ALLOWED, UNLESS BY MR. SAN SIMEON HIMSELF.” They watch as San Simeon orders all employees and Cosmonauts out of the room. Mega Man asks what's going on and Sharp says that he'd wanna take a look at this. Mega Man climbs up from the hatch a few seconds later and joins Sharp and Wheeler in a crouched position. Wheeler looks on with amazement and ambition. Mega Man asks who Jesus is and Sharp informs him that he's the second-in-command of the Friends of C. San Simeon walks over to the security console and types in his secret code. The doors open and the group walks inside. Mega Man, Sharp, and Wheeler wonder what's in there. Sharp tries to convince them to take a look, but Mega Man shoots this idea down, but Wheeler is interested. Mega Man tells them that they should get going and goes back down the hatch and Wheeler prepares to follow, but Sharp stops him. Sharp manages to convince him to take a look in the secret room.

Meanwhile, San Simeon escorts P., A.C., Summer, and Jesus into the room. The former three look in amazement at the assortment of yet to be released San Sindustries products, including new Cosmonaut suits. P. looks extremely interested, Summer looks nervous, A.C. looks skeptical, and Jesus is unmoved. San Simeon confides that he hasn't gotten the chance to show Dr. Vada yet, so they should consider themselves extremely lucky. P. tells San Simeon that with these, he'll have the Friends of P. running scared and San Simeon says he's counting on it. P. walks over to the Cosmonaut suits and examines them closely. A.C. and Summer watch him. Jesus gets a phone call. Summer and A.C. listen to Jesus's call, which is from the agents sent, informing him of what they've found at Charter Mill. Jesus tells William that he hates to cut the party short, but something demands his attention and he has to leave. San Simeon goes to walk Jesus out, who is now buried in his phone. As they leave, P. expresses his interest in the products, but A.C. keeps him on track. P. asks Sharp how things are going and Sharp replies that they're all good. Mega Man urges them to get going, but Sharp tells him that nobody asks him. A.C. tells them both to cut it out and tells P. that they should get going now, which Summer seconds. P. reluctantly agrees, saying that he's calling the mission and that he'll see them back at his place.

Wheeler and Sharp watch as Summer, P., and A.C. leave the room. They start to make their way out of the storehouse. Sharp tells Wheeler that if they're going to do this, it has to be now. Sharp and Wheeler make a break for the private room. Mega Man emerges from the hatch and finds his two teammates missing. He looks over and sees them sprinting towards the private room. Inside the room, Sharp and Wheeler are amazed by its contents. Mega Man gets up to intervene, but notices San Simeon coming back and ducks behind the crates once again. He warns his teammates that they need to leave now. Sharp and Wheeler turn back and see San Simeon returning. Wheeler panics and yells "Mayday" the Friends of P. code word for a situation, which stops P., A.C., and Summer in their tracks. P. asks what's going on and Wheeler explains that he and Sharp are stuck. P. asks what he means, but San Simeon interrupts, asking "Mr. Monroe" if he's all right. San Simeon notices the door still open and says that they left the door open. P. half-heartedly apologizes and San Simeon reaches into his pocket and points a remote at the door and inputs the security code. Summer looks at P. nervously. San Simeon tells P. that it's all right, but notes that you can't trust people these days, a sentiment which P. agrees with. Mega Man frantically tries to get their attention through the earpiece.

Inside the room, the lights go off as the doors begin to close. Sharp and Wheeler sprint for the door, but Wheeler, in the darkness, trips and stumbles into one of the new Cosmonaut suits. Alarms begin blaring. The suit falls and crushes Wheeler underneath, pinning him to the ground. Sharp turns around and looks at him. Hearing the alarms, Mega Man can't believe that this is happening again. The storehouse begins going on total lockdown. San Simeon starts to panic and calls all the Cosmonauts to his location. From the fairgrounds, Rudolph and other party guests glance over at the storehouse and see the alarms flash and Cosmonauts flying over there. Rudolph looks on with concern. San Simeon begins to exit the warehouse to greet the Cosmonauts outside. Summer asks what they're going to do and P. urges everybody that can hear him to get out with whatever they can as quietly as they can. He also reminds them to stick to the code. Mega Man tells P. that Sharp and Wheeler are still in the room, but P. reluctantly tells Mega Man to stick to the code and that they don't have a choice. Summer urges P. to reconsider, saying they can't just leave them there. P. says that they don't have a choice and exits the storehouse. Inside the room, Sharp apologizes to Wheeler and runs away, leaving him behind. Sharp slips out the door, leaving Wheeler alone. Sharp runs back towards the crates and dives behind them and meets up with Mega Man. He asks Sharp where Wheeler is and Sharp replies that they should forget him, as they both heard the boss. Sharp jumps down the hatch, leaving Mega Man by himself. Meanwhile, Summer, having witnessed Sharp’s escape, turns to A.C. He asks Mega Man if Wheeler is with him and he replies that he's not. Summer asks where he is and Mega Man says that he's still in the private room. Summer tells A.C. that she's going back for him. A.C. gives a slight nod of the head and Summer runs back towards the private room. He looks out the door and watches the Cosmonauts start to arrive. A.C. continues watching in horror at the situation. He looks as if he’s going to cry. The Cosmonauts arrive and escort A.C. out of the building, as he looks back towards the door.

Wheeler struggles on the floor, trying to lift the heavy suit off of him. He glances at the door and sees it about to close until Summer jumps in between, keeping them open. The doors struggle to close, crushing her body. She uses her powers in an attempt to regain strength. Mega Man jumps in at the last second and helps Summer pry the door open, as the two of them fall forward into the room, as the door closes behind them. Summer uses her powers to shine some light in the room. The two are able to locate Wheeler and lift the suit off of him. Summer helps Wheeler up and slings her over his shoulder. Wheeler insists that the two shouldn't be there, as the code forbids it. Summer tells him to forget the code. Mega Man asks how they're going to get out of there and Summer says that whatever they're doing it has to be quick. Meanwhile, Sharp gets in the drill, turns it on, and leaves with the supplies.

At the main gate, P. returns and joins Rudolph at his car. Rudolph asks what's going on, but P. says that they need to leave and demands the keys. Rudolph reaches around in his pockets, but realizes that Sharp still has them. P. smashes the window to Rudolph’s car and unlocks it as the alarm goes off. Panicked people flee the fairgrounds in droves towards their car. A.C. joins up with them shortly after. P. gets in the driver’s seat and hotwires the car. Rudolph jumps in the passenger seat. A.C. gets into the back. P. asks A.C. where Summer is and he replies that she went back for Wheeler. P. angrily asks A.C. why he didn't stop her, but A.C. lies, saying that he didn't know as he was right behind P. the whole time. P. starts the car and drives down the street, as A.C. looks out the back window at the situation behind them. P. frustratedly takes a deep breath and slams on the steering wheel.

Meanwhile, Summer holds a now unconscious Wheeler up as Mega Man stands in front of them trying to pry the door open. His suit begins to beep. Summer tells Mega Man to stand back, but Mega Man tells her to stop, as Alphaville and Wheeler need her and says to leave the escape to him. Mega Man takes a deep breath, coughs, and checks his suit, which is still beeping. The Cosmonauts open the door and Mega Man immediately uses his powers on them, knocking them back. Summer is shocked to see this. Mega Man turns to Summer and tells her that the hatch is behind the crates. Summer reinforces her grip on Wheeler and runs for the boxes. The Cosmonauts see her, but Mega Man flies in for an attack, knocking them back. He watches as Summer and Wheeler jump down the hatch. In the tunnel, Summer notices the tracks, indicating that Sharp has taken the drill. She lets out a sigh and puts Wheeler down. She climbs the ladder and uses her powers to melt the door shut. Mega Man continues to battle with the Cosmonauts, but he is quickly becoming winded. One of the Cosmonauts calls for backup, but Mega Man flies over the Cosmonaut and engages him in combat, using his powers to disable his suit, leaving him trapped on the floor. As more Cosmonauts enter the storehouse, Mega Man looks in the corner and blows open a hole in the storehouse. He quickly flies away, breaking the sound barrier as he flies through the sky. Several party goers watch the fast streak of light flash through the sky. Several seconds later, Cosmonauts are in pursuit, but are nowhere near fast enough to keep up with Mega Man. As P. drives fast along the road, the three men look up and watch the bright flash of light streak across the sky and fizzle out and crash in the distance. Mega Man free falls from the sky, crash landing in a field. He weakly gets up and starts running, coughing and sweating profusely as his suit beeps furiously. In the tunnel, Summer walks the extremely long length of the tunnel, carrying the still unconscious Wheeler over her shoulder.

Out on the Alphaville oceans, the Friends of C. work on a barge, using nets to bring in boxes of product the underwater city have sent up. Rod gets another call from Jesus and answers. Cosmonauts continue to fly overhead as smoke plumes from the storehouse. Sirens blare in the background as Jesus explains the situation with the traitors to Rod. Rod tries to ask Jesus what the commotion is but Jesus ignores him and says that the agents that were there were shot dead. He also explains that they found a ring at the scene. Understand what this means, Rod hangs up the phone and walks over to the center of the barge where Jonas is helping the crew loot a supply package from the ocean. Rod gathers his crew around and prepares to address them. He explains that he's very happy with how this job turned out and says that, whether the crew knew it or not, they had some traitors among them, but says that they've taken care of the situation. Jonas becomes saddened, believing he’s lost Maria. Rod says that the people they suspected were murdered by the actual traitors. He explains that one of them got away, but the other is here on the barge. Rod walks over to the edge of the barge. As the Friends of C. all look at each other with suspicion. Rod says that he's giving that person one chance to step up and face their punishment with dignity. Rod waits and nobody steps up. Jonas looks around. He looks at his ring and smiles, knowing Maria got away. Rod walks around the barge, observing his crew. Some stand strong, some back away in terror. Except for one. Jonas. Rod looks him in the eye. Rod calls Jonas over and he steps forward, smiling. Rod introduces Jonas as the rat and asks if he has any last words, which Jonas replies that he doesn't. Rod forcefully grabs Jonas by the back of the head and pushes him to the ground. He kicks him in the stomach repeatedly. The crew watch with horror, while some look on with pleasure. Rod picks Jonas back up and punches him in the face. He then drags him by the hair over to the water and forcefully holds him under until he stops breathing. Rod then orders the barge to get moving to the next drop point, as Jonas’s lifeless body floats through the calm ocean.
