October 10th, 2024 - RECAP - “Benji – NoPixel! 4.0”

• As Benji wakes up in the apartments, he takes a walk to the Abyss. When he is across the street, Benji twats his usual “YA BOI BACK.” Immediately, Dwagon calls Benji to inform him about Yuno’s twat, “It’s Raining,” a war call from The Company.
• The boys have a meeting outside the Abyss. They discuss how Terry and OP (Oscar Perez) have been hanging out with SOB. Benji and Ray clarify that Hades is not second fiddle to anyone; Hades only wants people and doesn’t need anyone anymore. Mid-conversation, Dwagon goes on a rant about his sports knowledge, making sports metaphors. The boys tease him about fantasy sports gambling. As they talk about their bank accounts and how much money everyone has, Benji tweets and asks for donations for a “foundation.”
• When the meeting ends, some of the boys head to Bahama Mamas to deposit money for a money run. Marlo lets Benji test drive his new car. When they arrive at Bahama Mamas, Jared calls Benji to let him know that he is working doing sani for the 10k materials Perez asked for. After that, they head to Tequi-la-la to start another money run. Ray goes to collect the car for the money run, while Benji goes to HQ to get a grenade. When Benji arrives at Abyss, Ray and Tictac inform him over the radio that someone is following them to rob their money run. Ray asks for help, and when Benji arrives at Tequi-la-la, Ray and Tictac are there to cash out the run. The boys start driving away and notice suspicious cars in the area. Ray calls for everyone to hold their fire and wait for the unknown people to make a move. Benji decides to brake-check them, and they think it’s Manor, but as they stop, it turns out to be MigL and Kio. Ray asks if they are following them, and MigL reacts aggressively, denying the insinuation. Everyone seems a bit tense, and Ray drives away. Benji stays a little longer to chat with MigL and Kio, making jokes before everyone part ways.
• Somehow, MigL and Ray start having some Twatter beef, and of course, Benji enjoys it to the fullest, sipping all the tea. Benji goes to get his Slime King Movil in case things escalate between SOB and Hades.
• Everyone ends up at The Abyss, where Perez tells everyone that the Saints don’t have ammo for their SMGs and that Hydra countered their crate, ultimately stealing all the ammo from the Saints. Benji and Ray try to clarify who was following Ray during the money run. The conclusion is that it could have been multiple groups wanting to rob Hades’ money run. Ray tells everyone to be ready in case SOB tries something.
• Marlo informs everyone that he is a doctor again. Benji then asks him for a prescription for oxy, but Marlo tells him he cannot do that. So, Benji drives to the hospital to get one from another doctor. Unfortunately, no doctors are working at that moment, and he drives back to the Abyss.

• Benji, Perez, and Ray have a meeting about their cut from all the jobs they did and Slime Shack. The conversation revolves around both wanting a bigger cut from the jobs and Slime Shack. However, Perez tries to convince them not to take too much money, emphasizing that it’s not their fault the IRS (Jayden) did not pay them, especially from Slime Shack. Mid-conversation, Tictac calls Benji and tells him that he has taken Lane’s boyfriend (Duke) as a hostage. Benji wants to do something about it, but in the end, he cools off and tells Tictac not to do anything to him. Ray and Benji go to Fudge’s house to check if Jayden set aside some money for them, but there is nothing there. They drive back to the Abyss, where Winter joins the meeting and shares the numbers and improvements Slime Shack has made since Winter and Mona took over management. Benji and Ray decide to take $400K each for the jobs and Slime Shack. As they take their cut, they stop at Slime Shack to cash out $700K+ and deposit it at HQ. Benji skims some money from Slime Shack as well and persuades Ray to do the same.
• Benji starts exploring around the Abyss. While running around, he ends up going inside a neighbor’s house right across from the Abyss. The boys drive around to chill out and end up at Moslys, where Flippy stops by and tries to stir up tension between SOB and Hades. However, Unc takes it lightheartedly and makes some jokes. Ray asks Benji for his opinion about a new SUV he is trying to get, but Benji makes fun of it, saying it’s a mom’s car.
• The boys continue driving around the city and end up at Louis's roof run. It seems like a logistics type of day, so they go to Tequi-la-la to do a money run for Marlo, followed by Louis's run. They drive north to get the car for Louis's run, but on the way, Louis is ejected from his car and has to go to the hospital. Eventually, they continue and finish the run, heading to deposit the money from the runs at HQ.
• Lance and Rico tell the boys over the radio that they got a white card. Ray suggests doing a Jewelry Store heist, and everyone is excited to take on the job. They meet at the Abyss and choose the six members for the job (Benji, Ray, Lance, Perez, Louis, and Rico). Ray explains the plan for the job, everyone’s role, and how they will immediately hit the truck right after the Jewelry Store. They drive to the Jewelry Store, but when Benji arrives, they see that the Saints are hitting it and go inside to get the chip for the truck. However, it’s no longer possible to proceed. Ray calls over the radio to find out where the bank truck is heading. Hades tries to intercept the truck but cannot locate it and continues looking. Eventually, the boys give up searching, and Ray calls Benji to let him know he is heading to bed early.

• Benji and Lance drive around and end up robbing some innocent sani people. Then, Louis calls Benji to help protect them because they are getting thermite from a local in Mirror Park. On the way there, Benji mocks Lance for stealing 500 materials from the innocent sani people. They both make fun of each other for not being gangsters anymore or at least for needing to look like one.
• At some point, Perez calls Benji and asks him to try to buy a Draco from the Saints and ammo from Hydra. Benji drives to Forum with Lance and meets the Saints, but they don’t want to sell at that moment. Benji attempts to negotiate, but the Saints refuse to budge. He drives away and calls Perez, coming up with an idea to trade so Hydra can provide some ammo and the Saints some Dracos. Benji drives to Mirror Park to talk to Flippy and see if a trade is possible, but Flippy is asleep. He meets Jan Jan and Benz, who tells Benji that Flippy is sleeping but can communicate his offer to Flippy tomorrow. Benji asks Benz to come up with a number for the trade that Hydra would be happy with.
• Benji drives back to the Abyss and walks around Vespucci. He meets some Gorillaz and the clean guy for Tripas (Mikey). Benji calls Perez to inform him about the intel and reminds him not to forget about the clean guy in case they need him in the future.
• Benji drives to Chumash (a convenience store Dwagon is hitting), where they get a white card to use later for storming and hitting the Jewelry Store and the bank truck.
• Benji picks up Lance and tries to find the people they robbed because Lance feels guilty for stealing their materials. They drive around again and look for them, and Benji tweets about it as well. They meet Benny and Smalls at the Sanitation yard and have a brief conversation. They end up across from Legion Square and talk with Bobby Charles (an LSPD officer). Benji confesses that they robbed some sani workers and asks for Bobby’s help. Then, Marlo and Benji egg Lance on to throw a frag grenade at Bobby’s car. Lance throws it, blowing up a random car. They drive away, teasing Lance for not throwing it immediately and calling him a coward. Marlo informs Lance that he killed someone, which makes Lance paranoid about facing consequences. Benji gaslights him, saying he committed terrorism. Lance starts panicking about spending the rest of his life in prison. Benji calls Bobby and fully snitches on Lance, ensuring Bobby knows it wasn’t him. Benji and Marlo troll Lance, claiming the person he blew up is definitely dead. Lance continues to doom-scroll about his fate, and they drive back to the city (Tuna Shop), where a PD truck (Loki) is parked inside. Benji continues snitching and stirring the pot.
• As Marlo and Benji drive away from Tuna Shop, some new guys in the city crash into them. They start messing with the new guy, making him drive blindly until they reach the Food Court parking lot. As they leave him, Benji hints to the guys to call him when they’re ready to push (W brainwasher). Benji and Marlo drive back to the Abyss.
