While JACK scours the conference for the copper wire necessary to get his turbine working, the others look for alternate ways of getting out alive. TAI-SAN continues the breakdancing competition, but due to a risky agreement between AMBER and EBONY, the stakes are now considerably higher than before. Back at home, SALENE tries to keep her harmful secret between PATSY and herself.

The Mallrats travel to meet with the other tribes to trade goods and service and to help ensure peace between gangs, but BRAY’s promise of a technology to restore the tribes’ power may be a bit premature. TAI SAN uses her grace to represent the Mallrats in a dance competition, LEX comes face to face with an old friend, and KC spots DAL, who’s on his way to becoming a slave. Meanwhile, back at the mall PATSY stumbles upon SALENE’s secret.

The Nomads have decided against DAL’s leaving the tribe and have taken him prisoner.

Back at the mall, a heartbroken ZANDRA confronts RYAN over his involvement in keeping LEX’s affair with TAI SAN a secret, and LEX begs for yet another chance with his former intended.
