## Description

Isaac and Arachnid infiltrate Solomon's Den.

## Plot

The episode begins with Isaac calling Longbags about buying some more weed. Reluctantly, Longbags agrees to sell it to him, and they agree to meet in a few hours. In the meantime, Isaac logs back into E.V.E. where he sees his Mother. After hugging, she is revealed to be Adam in disguise which causes Isaac to become enraged. Adam tells him that it was an emotional tutorial, then Isaac asks Adam about Arachnid so Adam tells him that his real name is Abraham. After Adam continues to ask about Isaac's Mom, Isaac pins him to a wall and yells at him. A few moments later, Michael comes in and asks Isaac to come with him on a mission. He goes with Michael, but midway through the drive he asks Michael to pull over, and he says he declines the mission. When questioned, he says that he doesn't want to be a cop's sidekick. He then logs out and goes to meet with Longbags who sells him weed, but Longbags also sells him meth when Isaac mistakes it for XP. Longbags then tells him that he doesn't sell weed anymore, and gives Isaac his friend, Noah's, phone number to buy from him instead.

Isaac then returns home and logs into E.V.E. to meet Arachnid and take him up on the mission that he offered him. Arachnid tells him that he needs help scouting the hideout of a drug lord named Solomon and his brotherhood. After looking around the outside for an entrance, they find a way into the basement. They peak through the door and see two of Solomon's brothers: John and Judas. Judas eventually leaves to go upstairs, so Arachnid shoves Isaac into the basement to get a closer look. John sees him and brings him upstairs to see Solomon. Solomon introduces himself to Isaac, and after looking at Isaac's wrist, he sends John and Judas to look and see if anybody is with him. Solomon explains to Isaac that if he flips the switch on his helmet, he can enter ranked mode and use some XP to rank up. While they're talking, Judas brings in Malachi who was also scouting the hideout. Malachi demands to have all of Solomon's XP, but since Isaac was respectful to him, Solomon gives him 5 bags to take and sell. Malachi then pulls a gun on Solomon in a fit of rage, but Solomon just tells him that he can't kill him even if he tried. While everyone's on edge, Arachnid comes in to tell Solomon he will kill him, and then leaves with Isaac. He then shoots Gingy who was guarding the door and exits. As soon as they leave, Arachnid pushes Isaac to the ground, points his gun at him, and asks him what Solomon gave him.

Isaac then has to decide whether to lie to him, or tell the truth.

## StoryFire Prologue

It was a lovely day... just one of those perfect moments of living where you just want to shop til you drop.

***MARY 2***: Joey, honey! Can I have some money, baby?

Joseph sighs and casually reaches into his sock drawer, pulling out a wad of around $3000.

***JOSEPH***: \*hands money\* Please don't go too crazy this time...

***MARY 2***: Joey... I told you... I still wear those couple dresses. You have to match fashion trends with the seasons... it's not easy.

***JOSEPH***: What about all the jewlery that you bought last week and haven't worn once...?

***MARY 2***: Saving them for a special occasion. Joey, can I have more than this? I was thinking of treating myself to a meal. Maybe a few glasses of Pinot.

***JOSEPH***: More than THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS...? Okay, honey. Anything for you.

Joseph reaches for another wad of $3000 and hands it to his girlfriend.

***MARY 2***: OHH! Thank you, Joey! You're the best. \*smooches his cheek\* I'll pick you up a nice sweater for Christmas. It's going to be soo sexy!

***JOSEPH***: Sounds agreeable.

Mary exits their bedroom and proceeds to Isaac's room.

***MARY 2***: \*knocks\* Isaac?! ISAAC?! I'm heading to the mall. Do you need anything?

***ISAAC***: Yeah... please.

***MARY 2***: What do you need?

***ISAAC***: I need you to shut the fuck up!! I'm trying to play VR.

Mary looks pissed. She tries to budge the door, but it's locked.

***MARY 2***: You little shithead! Why you playing that VR thing so much? You're gonna end up getting sucked into it... then nobody is going to miss you!

***ISAAC***: Whatever bitch! Go spend some more of my Dad's money!

***MARY 2***: It's OUR money... He gives it to me.

***ISAAC***: Not even close, dude. Don't lie to yourself. Go buy another push-up bra and 10 pounds of make-up.

***MARY 2***: I'm going to tell Mother Sarah about all of this... AND your Father.

***ISAAC***: Not like he's going to do anything about it. BYE NOW!

Mary goes to walk away then turns back in frustration. She pounds on Isaac's door,

***MARY 2***: YOU'RE NOT ANY BETTER!! You don't work or have a job... You're the true mooch... living off your Father and dwelling in the past!

***ISAAC***: FUCK OFF ALREADY! I DO YOUTUBE.

***MARY 2***: Nobody cares. Bye Isaac... To think I was going to buy you a new hat.

Mary leaves the house and goes on an epic shopping spree. She even stops for a fancy dinner, which includes a 12-ounce filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. Oh... and a whole bottle of wine to herself. She heads to the bathroom to pee... and starts feeling some excruciating abdominal pain.

***MARY 2***: Must've eaten too much... Should've brought some home to Joey.

Mary spends the last of the $6000 as well as maxes out a few credit cards for the helluva it. She even buys a hat or two for Isaac.

***MARY 2***: He's lucky I'm a good Mother... \*she says reassuring herself\*

On the drive home... Mary has to pull over because she feels sick to her stomach. Mary pulls over to the side of the highway and opens the car door violently.

***MARY 2***: \*vomits\* Must've been the rare steak... definitely not the wine. You can never have too much wine...

Mary forgets that it even happened, continues her drive home... She is triumphant once again.

***MARY 2***: What a fantastic day! I've picked up some great deals today, so amazing.

Mary drives off into the sunset... This would've been an extraordinary day for some... $6000 dollar shopping spree and a nice meal... throw in an argument with Isaac, push-over boyfriend and some stomach issues. Great slew of events.

However, the most uncomfortable thing about all of this... This is EXACTLY what Mary's life looks like A FEW DAYS EACH WEEK. Something has to give.
