Synopsis: “As the Holograms deliberate over which semi-finalist will be their new drummer, the Misfits try to bribe one of them to reveal Jem’s secret identity.”

Summary: Episode 28 is written by Christy Marx and is the conclusion to two-part episode: “The Talent Search.”

We open with Jerrica bringing the good news to the Holograms that ticket sales for the talent search concert have sold out. The rest of the band are wondering how Shana would feel about this and if she is still mad about the entire situation. Jerrica suggests it’s time they find out, so she calls up Shana. But before Jerrica has a chance to speak with her, Shana hangs up because of Liz Stratton’s demanding nature. It turns out Shana’s designs for one of Liz’s co-star are so gorgeous, that they make her look better. Liz tears up Shana’s designs and tells her to remember that, when she remakes her designs. Shana is naturally shaken up and questions what she’s gotten herself into.

Cue Jem and the Holograms music video: “Show Me The Way”.

At Misfits Music, Eric Raymond, Pizzazz, Roxy, and Jetta discuss how it’s not going to be easy to bribe Raya to join their record label. Pizzazz suggests “there’s always the other guy” (she’s referring to semi-finalist: Craig Phillips). Stormer walks in and introduces the Misfits to her brother, Craig Phillips. Everyone in the group, including Eric, look surprised. Eric tries to persuade Craig to help them “Destroy” the Misfits. Is he up to the task? All Eric wants to do is reveal Jem’s true identity.

Pizzazz: You see, what’s good for Jem, is bad for the Misfits. And what’s bad for Jem, is good for the Misfits. And what’s good for the Misfits, is good for your dear sweet sister Stormer.

Craig: I’m a little out of touch. None of this really means much to me.

Eric: Does money mean anything to you? Whatever Jem’s promised, I can double it. Triple it.

Craig: I don’t care about money.

After unsuccessfully trying to buy Craig’s allegiance, Jetta tells Stormer to do something about Craig. Pizzazz blackmails her and says that if she doesn’t persuade Craig, she’ll be kicked out of the band. Stormer reminds Craig that if she ever needed anything from him, to just ask. Craig caves and agrees to go along with the plan–but only for Stormer’s sake.

The next morning, we see Craig and Aja going for a jog through the park. Craig stops as they cross a bridge and confesses that he only entered the contest to get close to Aja. Aja says she’s glad he did, and they kiss. Craig tells Aja there’s just one thing, he needs to know who Jem really is. Aja gets defensive and says she can’t divulge her identity. Craig flips out.

Craig: There’s just one thing I have to know.

Aja: What’s that?

Craig: Who is Jem?

Aja: I can’t tell you that!

Craig: So, I’m good enough to become your drummer, but not good enough to trust! Maybe I should drop out of the competition.

Aja: Jem keeps her identity secret for good reasons. No matter how I feel about you, I won’t betray Jem’s trust in me.

Craig: I’m sorry. I’ll never ask you again. Aja, I swear.

Aja: I trust you Craig, but Jem’s secret is hers to reveal, not mine.

Craig: Jem who?

At Misfits Music, Craig has an argument with Eric and tells him what happened in the park. Craig is glad that Aja has so much loyalty and integrity as to not reveal her band mate’s identity. Eric’s last ditch effort to try and make Craig feel bad doesn’t work. Eric says he wonders what Aja would think of him if she knew his sister was a Misfit. Craig is furious with Eric’s mind games and leaves.

The Misfits walk in just at the tail end of the argument between Eric and Craig. Pizzazz tells Eric that this is just another of his spectacular failures. Eric makes an excuse that Craig was useless from the beginning, and…
