20: “Island of Deception”

Synopsis: “During a cruise The Misfits play a trick on Jem and The Holograms that backfire and they all fall overboard. Stranded on a deserted island, both rock bands must learn to survive together.”

Tempest’s summary: Episode 20, written by Mary Skrenes. Jem & the Holograms board a cruise ship, cruelly leaving the Starlight girls behind to fend for themselves. The Misfits come, too, even though Eric hates the sea. They’re convinced that the Holograms on the boat because they’re trying to pull off a publicity stunt.

As the holograms get ready to go enjoy life on the boat, Jem informs them that Jerrica will be the one going out to have fun and spend quality time with her sweetie.

Rio is back and everything is terrible again.

Rio and Jerrica share a beautiful sunset together off the back of the boat.

The Captain is a creepy fan of theirs. The Misfits are super upset that the Holograms are at the Captain’s table when they aren’t.

Rio thinks the ship is awesome. But the Misfits hate everything. Oops, that prompts the Captain to have Jem sing a song.

“Throughout history the sea has lured hearts with its promise of romance and adventure” SET YOUR SAILS BITCHES.

Why are they pirates in this music video?

The shadiest looking crew member pretends that the crew wants to surprise the Captain for his birthday. we should know from the way he’s drawn that he is up to no good.

He puts them in a lifeboat and pretends they will pop up and sing. oops, the Misfits have arranged to actually drop them the fuck off the boat. And because of incompetence, they all fall over the side and die.

Ah, there’s that interference!

Synergy is, once again, the worst and not helpful.

Jem thinks stormer saw her as Jerrica under the water. Jem has a plan. Get along with the Misfits and survive? Hahahahaha.

Stormer asks after Jerrica. Insisting that Jerrica saved her even though none of the other Misfits saw her. They see an arrow in the sand and assume Jerrica went into the jungle to the highest point. At least this is what Jem hopes they believe.

Shana gets her angry lack woman on and tells Pizzazz they are all gonna work together or so help her…

I think earrings were about to come off.

They start to gather food and build shelter. Even though Pizzazz is reluctant at first, she helps Kimber catch a fish.

But trouble lurks in the jungle.

Put more wood on the fire. I want those flames roaring higher. You can’t be soft and survive. “It takes a lot.”

The Misfits take the survival kit while the holograms are sleeping. Pizzazz thinks that Jerrica is off making the whole thing a publicity stunt for Jem.

They are attacked by wild boars. Because. This is literally the island of Lord of the Flies.

The holograms save them. With Synergy. fucking synergy.

This is the first kindling on the fire of Kimber & Stormer’s lesbian relationship.

They encounter wildlife! it’s not okay. But then they find a pool of water and it is okay.

Synergy creates a Hologram of Jerrica and none of it makes any sense.

The Misfits chase after hologram Jerrica and they run to the top of the cliff.

They hear drumbeats.

There is a white man on this island wearing a tribal mask. What… the fuck. the entire fuck.

And he’s got a cockney accent.

Angus B., a hermit since I got my heart broke. he falls for Stormer immediately. What.

Kimber and Jem have a tender moment that Kimber ruins immediately.

Dude has a radio transmitter that miraculously works. Rio has stubble, everything is horrible. The ship comes for them.

Rio and Jerrica hug.

RIO DIDN’T FUCKING FIND YOU.

Kimber is all like: we can be friends! Hahahahahahaha Misfits say no.

This purple stubble is not okay.

Why are there two music videos and a public service announcement?
