Synopsis: “Ba Nee will go blind if she doesn’t undergo expensive eye surgery within the next few weeks. Unfortunately, Jerrica’s financial options are limited after she learns that Eric Raymond used the money from Starlight Music to promote the Misfits. Her only option is for Jem and the Holograms to finish making Starbright. But that won’t be easy now that the Misfits are in complete control over the production.”

Summary: Opening on a rather somber note, Jerrica is presented with shocking news that an experimental laser eye surgery for Ba Nee will cost $250,000. How will Jerrica raise the capital? Will Ba Nee’s vision be saved?

Jem: She’s only 8 years old. It can’t happen. I won’t let it happen. There must be some treatment.

On the drive home from the ophthalmologist, Ba Nee asks Jerrica if her eyes will be okay. Wanting to spare her of any concern, Jerrica tells Ba Nee that her eyes will be just fine.

At Starlight house, the Holograms brainstorm how they can raise the money for Ba Nee’s operation. Naturally, Starlight Music is the most obvious source of money, being a successful record company.

The Holograms make their way to Starlight Music, only to discover a rather empty lobby and a man moving boxes of important documents.

Kimber: This place is like a tomb!

When they demand to know what’s going on, we discover that Starlight Music has not been paying their bills. Joanie explains to Jerrica that she tried to warn her, but the phone company disconnected their lines. Joanie shares a startling revelation that the majority of the company’s money has been diverted to promotion for the Misfits by Eric Raymond.

Jem: We’ll straighten this mess out. I’m in charge now, Joanie.

In order to pay for Ba Nee’s operation, Jerrica concedes that the Holograms must finish the movie. Jerrica meets with Eric to tell him the band is back in the production. Eric stipulates that if he were to allow this, it will have to be on his terms.

Eric: If I let Jem and the Holograms come back, it will be on my terms. I need an assistant, someone to run around for me.

Begrudgingly, Jerrica accepts Eric’s terms.

At the studio, Eric breaks the news to the Misfits that Jem and the Holograms are back in the movie, but assures Pizzazz it will be on his terms. Meanwhile, Clash argues with Video that she shouldn’t be wasting tape on the Holograms because they’re conceited. Video accidentally divulges the true reason for the Holograms’ return: they’re doing it just to raise enough money to pay for Ba Nee’s eye surgery.

Clash explains to the Misfits the true nature of why the Holograms have return to the movie production. They decide to take advantage of the desperate financial situation the Holograms are in, by ordering them around, starting with kicking them out of their own dressing room.

Cue Misfits video: “Congratulations.”

Completely ignoring the perfectly handsome Jeff once again, Kimber instead tries to get the attention of Nick Mann.

Glad you’re back Kimber!

Kimber: Hiiiiii Nick. Did you miss me?

Jeff: Excuse me while I go talk to the wall.

Nick: Oh, were you gone?

In the studio hallway, we see Rio tell Jem that he’s surprised she didn’t have more pride (I assuming he’s talking about her sudden return to the production of the movie). Their conversation is cut short when Pizzazz comes calling.

Pizzazz: Riooooo. Rio, darling, I need you.

Reduced to Eric Raymond’s assistant, he calls for Jerrica to bring him a cup of coffee. But Jerrica is put into a difficult situation where Eric demands Jem’s presence, but wants Jerrica to stay by his side. She manages to whisper into her earrings that Synergy should create a hologram of Jem. Eric falls for the convincing facade and proceeds to block the next scene that needs filming. Eric sets up…
