Synopsis for "Robo-Hunter: Killing of Kidd (part 3)"[]
Sam makes his television début in a very fetching dress. Hoagy asks him for his autograph. Kidd nearly gets squashed by a huge falling weight, but unfortunately Sam pushes him out of the way. On the way home, the twitchy and paranoid Kidd nearly murders a bunch of pensioners. Sam is startled to discover that his ghastly client's mother is a gibbon from the neck down, because she had an accident and Kidd was too miserly to give her a robot body.

Sister Sledge monologues about how she's been an evil jerk all along. Bagman hears her talking about how she overpowered Rogue using "the gentle touch" and has an idea. He pretends to be mad again so Sledge will think that he is harmless, and when she gets close enough to him he extends one of his robotic arms and gently trips her into the Scum Sea. Sister Sledge is melted by the toxic water. Rogue recovers from his paralysis and uses Gunnar to destroy the Nort atmocraft she summoned. He then decides to return to Dix-I and avenge himself on the occupying Norts.

Synopsis for "The Mean Arena"[]
Brazen stops Matt from staking a vampire through the heart (the method of scoring in this strange game), and explains to him that all the vampires are rigged with explosives. If he'd put pressure on the vampire's chest, it would have blown up and killed them both. The vampire proves her right by tripping and accidentally detonating his explosives anyway, but only he is killed. The other vampires realise that their manager has turned them into living bombs just because she wants to get Matt Tallon, and they confront her in her control room. The episode ends with the words ++STABILISE CIRCUITS++THRILL OVERLOAD++.
