\n\n
We open with Lin-Z announcing that Jem and the Holograms are preparing to shoot a new music video in a secret location. It’s being directed by Vivian Montgomery. Lin-Z tries to coax Jem to divulge the location details for the shoot, but Video interrupts and says the video will be her entry for the International Rock Video Festival (the only award that Video hasn’t won). But why the need for all of the secrecy? Well, they don’t want to tip off any competitors that might try to steal their ideal shooting location.
\n\n
Meanwhile, the Misfits are doing a photoshoot and Pizzazz is not happy to hear that Jem and the Holograms are shooting a music video in a secret location.
\n\n\n
Pizzazz: I’ve been snarling ever since I heard about those creeps and their secret video.
\n\n\n
Clash enters with a brand new camera that her father gifted her for her birthday. She claims it’s twice the camera Video is currently using and wants to use it to film the Misfits for the International Rock Video Festival. The Misfits are not receptive to Clash filming another video, as the last time she made an attempt, it was disastrous. Clash promises this time it will be different as she managed to get her hands on the secret filming location (by disguising herself as Video’s maid).
\n\n
Cut to Video briefing everyone on the location of the video shoot, which will be deep in the Mexican jungle near ancient Aztec ruins. Raya’s father warns her that the trip will be very dangerous. Raya insists on going anyway as it will be her first time visiting Mexico, not to mention all of the stories about the land and its people. Rio tries to put her parent’s concerns at rest as Video has hired the best possible guide they could get, plus he’ll be there. Jem also reassures Raya’s parents and her father wishes her well.
\n\n
Jem and the Holograms arrive in Mexico City to meet up with their tour guide: Luise Haraldo. As Luise arrives and greets the group, Raya seems quite smitten at his appearance. Before filming the music video, the Holograms go on a tour of the ancient Aztec ruins of Mexico with their tour guide.
\n\n
Luis Heraldo and the Holograms embark on a tour through the jungle and they decide to stop at a nearby village for lunch. When they arrive, they are greeted with a horrific view of a demolished village, due to a recent earthquake. Video decides to grab her camera and shoot the devastation in an effort to convince people back home to send food and water to the villagers. When Video reaches into the Jeep, a boy steals her video camera and runs away. Video chases the boy and Haraldo catches him. The boy’s name is Paco and he’s homeless. The Holograms give him some food to eat and Paco insists that they take him back to America, because everyone there is rich and has big homes and big cars (not entirely inaccurate, from the perspective of someone who’s homeless and has nothing–even lower income Americans may look rich from his eyes). Raya tells Paco that you don’t just get rich by going to America–he seems surprised by this. Jem tells Paco that they are unable to take him and he runs away. The Holograms are concerned for the homeless boy, but Haraldo says not to worry as the village will take care of him.
\n\n
The Holograms leave to make way to the ruins, and hopefully before nightfall as Video is on a tight schedule. Heraldo is concerned that if the earthquake damaged the bridge over the rapids, their shoot could be over before it even starts. The conversation is interrupted when…
