Plot
The episode begins with Arachnid coming out from the hot tub and into his house with Isaac's phone in hand. He answer's the call from Rebekah, but instead hears the voice of Malachi. Isaac then comes into the house and takes the phone from Arachnid. When he hears that it is Malachi on the other end, he tries to convince Arachnid that it wasn't him because he was supposed to finish him off in god's plan. He gets a call back from Rebekah's phone and goes outside to try and get away from Arachnid, but is followed and has to pretend to talk with Rebekah instead of Malachi. Malachi tells Isaac to come meet them, and that he needs him to come alone. Isaac hangs up and they go inside where Arachnid is grabbing his weapons to kill Jesus, who he thought was the caller. Isaac finally convinces Arachnid that he needs to go alone, but is told that if he finds out he's lying, he will be killed in painful fashion. Isaac eventually gets to Solomon's house to find Malachi holding Rebekah hostage. Malachi tells him to get on his knees and say he's the best player in the game, and Isaac obliges, but Malachi isn't impressed and is about to shoot Rebekah before Isaac tries to make a deal with him. He tells him that Team Piece of Shit is going to raid Solomon's soon, and when they do, he can kill Arachnid. Malachi takes the offer and lets Isaac know that if he betrays him, he's going to finish what he started. Isaac and Rebekah leave and she tells Isaac that she had a handheld mirror and could've logged out, but wanted Isaac or Arachnid to come and kill him. Isaac is irritated and asks her if he can use the handheld mirror to log out because he has to help Leah. Rebekah becomes a little jealous of her, but Isaac logs out before she has a chance to say much else.

Isaac drives to Leah's house and finds Tommy at the end of her driveway calling somebody. Isaac asks him what's going on and Tommy tells him that Leah's Dad threw him out. After Tommy begins to cry, Isaac runs in to confront Mr. Matthews after he slaps Leah for standing up to him. Isaac tells him off, then he leaves to go in the backyard. Isaac stays to see how Leah and Jacob are doing, then he goes into Leah's room to talk with her. She tells him that her Dad was never the same since her Mom left, then Isaac tells her about Mary-Two's death. He then asks if they're still friends, and Leah tells him that they'll always be best friends. Later that night, Isaac arrives home where he sees Jesus pull into his driveway and give him an address that Solomon wants to meet him at. The next day, Isaac arrives at the location and sits on a bench until a little girl comes and sits beside him. Isaac recognizes her as the girl who came to his house for Halloween and Christmas, but tells her that she needs to go because he's meeting someone here. The little girl tells him that he's Solomon and asks him not to raid her hideout. After she tells him that she never had a brother, Isaac caves and tells her that they'll leave her alone.

Meanwhile in E.V.E., Michael arrives and Solomon's and they talk about how he's vulnerable to attack after most of the brotherhood has died, and Gingy ran off. Michael tells him that he'll look for Gingy, but first brings in Adam who is looking to join the brotherhood, and Solomon agrees to let him in. Before leaving, Solomon asks for more help, and Michael leaves him the golden gun. Michael finds Gingy eating a mountain of XP while the servant watches. He tells Gingy that Solomon wants him back, and warns Gingy about the servant before leaving. Gingy finishes levelling up, then logs out of E.V.E. and walks around in the forest until he is stopped by Samantha who tells him that she is Solomon. He doesn't believe her at first, but after she shows him her shotgun, he asks why she came. She tells him that she wants him to come back to the brotherhood, and he agrees.

Later that day, Arachnid is gearing up to raid Solomon's, but Isaac tells him that it's a bad idea. Arachnid and Rebekah try to convince him that they should, but he is adamant that he thinks it's a bad idea. After hitting Arachnid out of rage, he and Rebekah go outside to talk privately. He tells her that Solomon is only 10 years old in real life and that he doesn't think that it's right to kill her. He then begins to break down and tells Rebekah that he has a little sister, but she died a few years ago. He tells her that he wants to get to Haven and wish for her back, but he can't go through with killing a little girl. Rebekah tells him that they'll force her to log off when they do the raid, and that she'll give up her wish to get Isaac his. They go inside to tell Arachnid that Solomon's a little girl and they can't kill her, but he says she's willingly playing the game and whatever happens to her is her own fault.

Isaac then has to decide whether to kill Solomon, or spare her.

TOMMY: Who the fuck are you calling, Leah?! Your Dad is beating down the door!

LEAH: Tommy, stop yelling! You’re making it worse! I can’t hear!

LEAH’S DAD: Leah! Open this damn door before I bust this shit down.

TOMMY: I’d like to see you try, old man! I’ll be out window and back home by the time you-

BOOM! Leah’s Dad busts down the door with a single kick. Pins included.

TOMMY: HOLY SHIT!!!
