(Late Review: This episode aired on 12th December, last Tuesday)
Now convinced of their parents' guilt, the group of teenagers decide to expose them using footage from the camera they found in Alex's hidden library. Since the footage has been funnelled to the secure servers of Nico's family's company, Alex devises a plan to sneak into their server room during the Pride gala holding that night.
Meanwhile, a lot of complicated personal drama is brewing among the characters. Nico and Chase are getting even closer to their parents whom they must soon betray. Frank, Karoline's father, has given up on going 'ultra' in the Church of Gib, choosing to focus on his own pursuits and be himself instead, while Victor Stein is devastated over learning of his wife's affair with Robert Minoru. Jonah, newly reborn from the Pride's sacrifices, also prepares to attend the gala against Leslie's wishes to meet Karoline as her true father, and being the 'benefactor' who formed the pride and helped its members achieve their various successes, no one has a say in it. The teens are still nursing their various crushes, and this episode, Karoline reveals she's attracted to Nico, making what was previously a love triangle and a separate, certified couple into an extremely dramatic love 'pentagon': Gert has a thing for Chase, who has a thing for Karoline, who has a thing for Nico, who is in a relationship with Alex. Like, waoh!
The Pride gala and the teens' plans are almost ruined when the individual dramas come into light. Karoline drinks herself to drunkenness and falls off the roof of the skyscraper, only to discover she can fly. Victor announces about his wife's and Robert's affair publicly, sending Tina to her office in tears, which Nico and Alex have just broken into. Frank meets Jonah and, unexpectedly, begins to recover a memory of the man and Leslie sleeping together --a memory that was taken out of him.
In the end though, Alex and Nico, with the help of a surprisingly flirtatious Gert succeed in getting the video files. Victor is treated by Jonah and emerges quite different. And Molly, desperately seeking info on her parents, lets it slip to the ever perceptive lawyer Catherine Wilder that she did see the Pride sacrifice ceremony, putting herself and the other teens in severe danger.
