Synopsis: “Rio, Jem and the Holograms are flying to China at the request of the Chinese government. The band has a huge fan base in China and they have the honor of performing a concert tour that includes the Great Wall itself. At the airport, Eric Raymond and the Misfits notice how reluctant Jem is to part with her earrings. They decide to steal the earrings, make copies to wear and then lead them on a chase around the city.”

Summary: This episode opens with the Holograms onboard a plane as they descend into China, where the band has been invited by the Chinese government to perform at the Summer Palace. The Misfits are along for the ride, but regrettably didn’t get booked for the performance. They don’t seem to be as enthusiastic about the beautiful view of the Great Wall as the Hologram’s are.

Eric Raymond: Roxy, you don’t want to see the view?

Roxy: Who cares about seeing a big wall, right Stormer?

After disembarking, The Misfits are enraged when a small group of fans waiting for them have misspelled the groups name as “Misfats.” How can you possibly get a band’s name wrong, even in another language? It’s not that difficult.

Within the first few minutes of this episode, trouble finds its way to Jem when she goes through airport security. Jem’s earrings set off the metal detectors and she’s denied entrance when she refuses to remove them. Before catastrophe strikes, she’s saved when a high ranking representative of the chairman excuses Jem from going through standard security processes.

During the limo ride from the airport, The Misfits and Eric finally clue in after 10 episodes that Jem’s earrings, which she always wears, are incredibly important to her. It seems odd that she never takes them off, especially when requested of her during customs. This gives Eric an idea that he can use the earrings as leverage against Jem and the Holograms, with the ultimate goal that The Misfits will perform at the concert.

The Holograms decide to use some of their spare time to partake in a relaxing mineral bath, but Jem says she has to take off the earrings because she’s concerned that the mineral water may short out the circuits. Jem removes the earrings and sits in the pool, but she doesn’t transform back to Jerrica. If Jem didn’t want to remove the earrings in customs, for fear that the holographic illusion would be no more, why doesn’t she turn back to Jerrica immediately when entering the pool? Jem quickly decides to get an early start to the day and gets out of the pool and finally turns back to Jerrica. It turns out that the earrings were stolen by Stormer.

The Holograms regrettably decline from performing at the concert, since without the earrings which create Jerrica’s holographic persona, there’s no way Jem can make an appearance. Conveniently, The Misfits appear and volunteer to replace them. Meanwhile, Rio shows up and is surprised to Jerrica. When Rio questions Jerrica about Jem’s whereabouts and why she can’t perform, Jerrica provides nothing more than a cryptic response that “she just can’t” and then shuts the conversation down and says “I don’t want to talk about it.” This is completely unreasonable. Could Jerrica not have come up with some kind of reason, such as Jem got food poisoning? Jerrica’s utter lack of creativity is ponderous.

When The Misfits perform, Jerrica notices that Pizzazz, Stormer, and Roxy, are all wearing earrings that look like copies of Jem’s, only that one of them must be the originals. What a fantastic f-you to the Holograms.

After the concert, Jem and the Holograms attempt to reclaim the original earrings by chasing after The Misfits in a ricksha. This of course is an excellent moment to cut to a music video by The Misfits called “You Can’t Catch Me”.

We see The Misfits messing with the…
