Lissi went off to an atrium for a briefing talk and met an awakened bear named Gladiator, a fellow contestant.
Due to an innocuous text from Lissi to Mark, the others sans Mark felt she was in danger, possibly from the shadow government. So Jarrs, with help from Jiore and Shep's expert distractions, went into the ventilation system to find Lissi.
Jarrs managed to find Lissi, and after confirming she was safe, hid in her bag and reconvened in the lobby with the rest of their friends.
Lissi found out that friends and family were allowed to say a few words on camera in support of her. She let them know, and it definitely wasn't a mistake!
Lissi confiscated Mark's gun and gave Jarrs Mark's keys. Subsequently, Jarrs managed to slip out and fiddle with Mark's submarine.
While the gang figured out what to say about Lissi, Jarrs and Ramble formed a PR team and were kind of effective. And definitely did not reveal the pre-gap discoveries made on Agaricus V.
Then the cameras started rolling. Things went okay, with Jiore presenting the strongest excerpt. Ramble and Jarrs went a little off script.
Lissi had a brief crisis, but then immediately had to go audition. She did amazing! Unsurprisingly. And she ended up choosing Motion as her coach.
Jarrs threatened Orion Seacrest and Mark was revealed as a secret superfan of Star Search.
