Deal

"Deal" is the 4th episode of DMD Adventures Season 2 and the 13th episode overall. It's the continuation of the previous episode, Stalker.

## Plot

Drake returns home with an unconscious AJ. Dahl greets him, but immediately notices the captive girl and asks if she is dead. Drake explains how she attacked him and how he used the food to defend himself. Dahl is dissapointed, saying how he always fails to do his jobs. Somehow, she doesn't recognise AJ, and Drake tells her about her allegiance with the satanists. Miles comes home too and notices the scene, believing that Drake wanted to bring a girl to their place but took it too far. Dahl eventually recognises AJ, telling that she was the one who lured her to that ceremony. Drake asks her why she agreed such thing, but Dahl says she just wanted to help her. Miles proposes for an interrogation and after finding out her name he tries to pull a joke (that's literally what he says, AJ standing for "a joke"), but Dahl responds with her obligatory sarcasm.

AJ wakes up after hearing their talk, and Drake starts to interrogate her about Father Vitali, but since she was brainwashed she doesn't remember much and starts crying and apologising. Dahl tells her to calm down, and AJ asks her what is she doing here, finding out she is Drake's sister. She explains Dahl how Vitali casted a spell on her and tasked her with killing Drake. Miles doesn't seem to trust her, but Drake is convinced that it can be true, since they already seen what kind of person is the priest. He apologises for yelling and AJ accepts by saying she deserved it anyway, and wants to leave. Dahl however tells her to wash her clothes from ketchup and stay at their house for a while. Miles objects the idea, but no one else takes his side.

Later, Drake is browsing the internet and Miles asks him why didn't he object too about AJ's stay in their house. Drake thinks that what she said was true, giving example their meeting with The Nightcrawler in the last season. He also says that Dahl will have a homie now, but Miles thinks the house is getting to full. AJ comes to talk to them and she remarks how big is Miles's hair, wanting to touch it. Unsure what to say, he proposes to see what his machine says, which was made to respond how many times can someone touch Miles's hair. The machine shows 0, implying that AJ gets no hair. She than asks Drake who is he trying to contact, to which he responds his online friend, Scratch21. AJ tells him that the friend isn't active at the moment, and reveals herself as the person behind the account. Drake is confused and amazed in the same time by this coincidence, and Miles sarcastically asks if the next thing they have in common is the love of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. AJ says that she does like Jojo, and Drake gasps in a way that makes Dahl feel cringe.

Right after, Officer Rob and Leonard enter their house and asks if anyone called Drake lives there, to which he gets a positive answer. The red beanie guy from the previous episode, Jormy, comes in and acuses Drake of kidnapping AJ and his friends attempting to do nasty things to her, calling them "sus". Miles replies that he should be called like this, since his beanie is literally red. Drake tries to explain, but Jormy keeps revealing how AJ was attacked with soft drinks. Dahl also defends her brother, but Rob is suspicious at her words, saying she could easily help him and be part in this act too. He also questions for what reason Drake attacked AJ, only to be interrupted by her. AJ reveals that she attacked him first and asks to be arrested. As Leonard takes her to the station he tells his toughts on how could she be connected with a child kidnapper, and AJ realises she actually is. As Leonard tells his superior they are one step closer, Dahl asks them who they are really searching for. Rob smokes a cigarette and tells her how in the past months multiple children went missing and how they are trying to find the culprit. Since AJ is too afraid to tell the identity of her master, Dahl does so, telling the policemen about the encounter with Vitali. Rob still has some suspicions if Vitali is the kidnapper, saying he needs proof.

Drake proposes to catch the priest and make him confess his deeds, clearing him and AJ, but Rob doesn't seem to agree. Leonard prompts him to accept the deal, but the officer stubbornly says how he can just sent a troop to the satanist hideout. He does so, and 30 minutes later he receives a call from a long haired cop confirming the existence of a satanist cult. As he lists the proof, such as satanist paintings and the Spell Caster's corpse, another cop gets possessed by a magic hat and attempts to kill his long haired partner, only to get shot by another cop. Rob eventually accepts the deal, giving them 2 months to find the priest. He than puts a collar on AJ's arm, telling her that if she decides to suspiciously run away from the city she will explode. The cops finally leave, and AJ remains stunned at the loyalty of the people she tried to kill. She thanks Drake and Dahl by hugging them, and Miles joins as well. Jormy is confused about what he just listened to and is told by Dahl to exit their house.

## Trivia

* this is the first episode that can be considered "serious"
* it's the first time 5 actors voice
* a misinterpretation of Officer Rob's words happened when he explained the properties of the collar. Here, he said the collar will explode if AJ exits the surface of the city, but in a future episode ("Blue guy") the collar did not follow this fact. In reality, the collar is connected to Rob himself, and if AJ exits the city (over 2 km) she will get to far away and die. Rob probably insinuated that he will not exit the city, but exprimated himself wrong
