Plot[]
Part 1[]
Time skips another week as Cameron, Mira, Sargento, and Sheldon are watching footage on the latter's laptop to see how Garland is doing. As we pan in on the laptop's screen, it starts glowing Sheldon's color motif, meaning his onus has transferred to it. This is when the title card appears.
Garland is getting transferred to another prison, with the guard hoping this one will work. She looks at her clipboard before sending the prisoners to their cells, with Garland recognizing it and becoming excited. As soon as she enters her cell, another guard hands her a phone as someone is calling her. This is Jasper, who updates her on what is happening with her studio. In light of this, Garland makes the decision to use the earnings from Revenge of the Scorpion to give her and the studio more time.
With that out of the way, she asks if she can perform at the theatre, which the guard allows. She rallies up some other prisoners who are willing to participate and begins the preparations. The child recreation specialists receive word of this and the girl one wants to direct, but Garland only assigns her as an extra and the boy as a prop for one of the segments. Before she can go on with the performance, the mission ends. However, she interrupts this end and starts up Part 2.
Part 2[]
The second part begins, but while Garland was setting it up, one of the specialists released a frog. While the kid thought it would be an annoyance, Garland only sees this as an opportunity for the first segment. One of the prisoners pick up a camera, with Garland telling him to be careful with it, but the frog hops and takes the camera from his hands. Garland, the prisoners, and the specialists all chase after the frog.
Edward catches it, segueing to the next bit involving him doing surgery on the frog. Garland tries warning him of the poisonous nature of the frog (she had an encounter of her own as a child), but it has been scared and releases the toxins from its skin. These toxins land on Edward, who is allergic. Garland asks if there is a doctor in the prison, with the girl specialist denying. This leaves King with no choice but to treat Eads. She starts by putting on a doctor uniform from backstage and taking the first aid kit from the doctor's cell (extending her arm in both instances).
She picks him up and sets him in a tub, pouring soap and water on him and shaking him afterwards, which turns out to be enough to get him back to normal. She throws the uniform off, which has her normal clothes underneath, and is set on catching the frog. Eads holds out a pet carrier and Garland chases and catches it.
All of a sudden, it sticks its tongue on her mouth and pulls her head inside the cage. Eads closes it, not knowing her head is in there. Garland tries yelling for help, but her voice is too quiet. As a last resort, she pulls her head off, opening the cage long enough to plop her head back on. She closes the carrier and sets her volume back to normal.
With that out of the way, she is about to ready the prisoners for the next segment. Unfortunately, the frog chase left a wire exposed in one of the support beams and a janitor left their mop bucket next to it, causing the prison to explode and leaving Garland slightly charred (but still live and well) and the other prisoners' fates unclear. The mission ends here.
