Name: The Stingers Hit Town (Part One)
Synopsis: Blah. The end of the true stars of the series is dangerously
near :P From hereon in the Misfits and even the Holograms aside from Jem
are about to be slowly (or speedily) relegated to the back bench of Jem history.
No wonder the series got axed!
Jerrica wants new talent for Starlight Music, to create extra funds for
the company, whilst Eric is sick of being harassed and bossed about by the
Misfits. Eric sells everything he owns to buy out Misfit Music, and when he
hears of a new band, the Stingers, playing at Le Klub Kool he trots along
to see what they're like. Jerrica is tipped off about this band, the Stingers,
by Lin-Z Pierce, and it is clear from the start that they have a magnetism.
Both Eric and Jerrica offer them contracts and a place to stay, but on the
choice of keyboardist Minx the group decide to stay at the Gabor mansion.
This news is not greeted well by the Misfits, and they are all geared up
to tell the Stingers where to go when they hit a glitch...Pizzazz falls madly
in love with Riot the first time she sees him. This results in all kinds
of trouble, and the other Misfits are not amused, especially when Rapture,
the Stingers' guitarist starts messing with Pizzazz and making a fool out
of her (I have to admit it isn't a pretty sight). Riot, meanwhile, has his
sights set on Jem, and Rio is not happy about it. Minx decides to make Rio
the latest in her long line of broken hearts, but he's not biting...
Songs: Stingers Theme (The Stingers), Like A Dream (Jem and the
Holograms - repeated song) Perfect Match (The Stingers)
Name: The Stingers Hit Town (Part Two)
Synopsis: The Stingers have moved into the Starlight Mansion, causing
havoc for the Starlight Girls and the Holograms alike. Jem and Rio still
have issues over Riot, and while the Stingers are discussing contract possibilities
with Starlight Music, Eric turns up with a whole PR flood, offering the group
a part share in the music company he now owns. Jerrica cannot match the
offer, and Riot tells her that only Jem can change his mind. Jerrica has
a difficult choice, for Riot will only sign to Starlight's label if Jem
agrees to be his (what a creep...). Rio is not amused...and he and Jem fight,
but in the end they make it up (who didn't see that coming :P).
Meanwhile, the Misfits have delivered an ultimatum to Pizzazz - choose
between them and Riot. Eric convinces Pizzazz to choose Riot, so the other
Misfits walk out. At what I assume is Stormer's house, the girls gather,
lamenting the loss of their lead vocalist, but once he has got what he wants,
Eric gets Riot to persuade Pizzazz to make up with the other Misfits. They
greet her with delighted hugs (I don't think Pizzazz herself knows quite how
to deal with that, but it's kinda touching.) And so all ends well. Sort of...because
for the Misfits in the series it really is the beginning of the end :*(
Watch the Now video. It rocks.
Songs: Now (Stingers/Misfits/Jem and the Holograms), Take It Or
Leave It (The Stingers) Lovesick (The Misfits)
