Plot
Ebon and the rest of the Meta-Breed are running through the halls of The Dakota Detention Center for Juveniles while they find Stella in her cell and with the help of some keys that he stole from a guard and unlocked her, while running Stella asked them about her former posse, Elizabeth and Violet, Ebon then responded with "They don't matter, as they aren't Bang Babies", as they ran across the hallway as Stella looks back and sees her former posse who were looking at her with contempt.

Afterwards, The Meta-Breed meet up at their usual spot, Madelyn Spaulding, who had just recently regained all her past memories, reconized Stella right away and immendiantly attacked her saying that she doesn't deserve to be in The Meta-Breed, Ebon immediantly pulled them apart and told them that better be on their best behavior, for they are about to plan a heist in The Dakota Mall and they need to be on their best behavior if they want it to work. Meanwhile at school, Virgil, Richie, and Jimmy see people whispering to each other, when asked why Frieda said that Stella had reportedly escaped from jail, they dissmiss this information as merely a rumor, but Jimmy says that unfortunately this isn't the case, as The Meta-Breed had helped Stella escape from juvie and are now planning a heist in The Dakota Mall, so they said that they were going to the bathroom, quickly changed into their costumes, and went to the Dakota Mall.

They quickly went to The Dakota Mall where they saw The Meta-Breed steal some diamonds from Dakota Diamonds, a jewelery store in the mall, Static, Gear, and Jimmy easily defeated them and when they got back both Madelyn and Stella fought with each other, blaming each other for the heist going awry, Ebon once again seperates them, yelling at her for supposidly being intimidated by her and told her that she will not that take what little power she has. What he said made Madelyn furious and she told them, about how Stella had made her life miserable ever since Elementary School by spreading rumors about her, which made no one ever want to be her friend and also severely bullied her in various cruel ways, but her breaking point is when Stella and her posse cut most of her long, pigtails off and ever since then, she had slowly been turning into a meaner person until eventually becoming the arrogant control freak she is today. Stella then says that "Well you were and still are a loser, you all should've seen her back in Elementary, long pigtails with Harajuku hairclips, braces, big glasses, and neon colors everywhere?! Bleh!" Then Madelyn used her telekinesis to lift a big piece of metal at threw it at Stella and then flew away, crying.

Jimmy then spotted Madelyn, crying under a tree, he went to go ask her what was wrong, then she explained to him everything, about how she had been bullied by Stella for several years up to her eventual explusion from school and how she is now also in The Meta-Breed and how that affected her, after she told him everything. Jimmy then pulled her into a hug, this shocked Madelyn as someone her age has never hugged her before and then hugged him back with Jimmy saying that he had also been bullied to by her and knew how it felt and that in spite of everything, he had forgiven her and Madelyn promised to be a better person from now on and after they hugged, she confronted The Meta-Breed and told them that she no longer wishes to be affiliated with them.
