** October 22th, 2024 -RECAP- “CLIP REACTS – VARIETY STREAM – RANDOM STUFF”**

• Benji wakes up in his apartment, and Zee calls to inform him about a Cargo Event, currently with one container secured. Benji plans to join in picking up a second crate. Aleks and Rico arrive to pick him up, and they begin driving to the lighthouse. On the way, Chunks calls Benji to discuss the six participants for the event: Benji, Aleks, Rico, Zee, Chunks, and Baesu. Zee retrieves the second crate and instructs the group to drop it at the Vinewood sign. Rico successfully uses thermite on the crate and starts looting, but the helicopter is running low on fuel. Benji takes control of the flight and heads toward Sandy Shores, but they run out of fuel over Harmony.
• The police arrive and order Benji and Zee to exit the helicopter, but they refuse. Some officers forcibly remove them, leading to a chase. By a stroke of luck, Aleks arrives just in time to pick up Benji, while Zee sacrifices himself to save Benji. Aleks drives away from Harmony, and Rico calls Benji to discuss the possibility of refueling the helicopter; Benji encourages him to give it a shot.
• After escaping, Benji and Aleks head to Sandy to retrieve a car from Hades’ garage. On the way, Benji learns that the container they secured contains car parts. Aleks calls to inform Benji that his engine should be ready for pickup and installation in his car. Benji feels a surge of happiness and anticipates the upgrades to his engine and tires. He grabs his Inus and returns to Abyss, where Chunks has just arrived, having woken up in the hospital with no recollection of events. Benji teases him, claiming he is in his second life.
• Dundee arrives across from Abyss at his Crim Market and invites Benji to check out how his gang is handling telemarketing for the shop. Shortly after, Edgar calls Benji to discuss the events of the previous night between Hades and BBMC, stating he will call back in 30 minutes.
• Some members of High Stakes and Project want to give Benji four NVGs, four Molotovs, and $180k. The group tests out the NVGs, and Benji mentions that Hades will cover Zee’s fine and provide a kickback to the boys who participated in the cargo event.
• Benji and Aleks head to TunaShop to pick up Benji’s new w16 engine for his Inus. Upon arrival, Benji calls Dundee to offer him one of the NVG goggles. For some reason, they start driving north, and Lance calls Benji, alertedthat he heard the horns. Benji heads to his trailer in Sandy to drop off an NVG goggles and deposit the $180k into his account. Lance calls back to inform Benji that he sees the boat in the same spot as earlier today (the lighthouse).
• Benji and Aleks reach the shore where the boat is anchored and begin searching. For some inexplicable reason, Benji starts joking and speaking in a formal manner. The boys arrive and inspect the boat, opening the captain's quarters. They check the manifest and discover there is a container aboard filled with car parts. However, Lance has been informed by Beasu that this is the same cargo event as before, and the horns were from the earlier event. Disappointed, the boys return to Abyss, having been unable to obtain the container or thermite it from the boat.
• Upon their return, the group holds a brief meeting to update everyone about what the High Stakes and Project boys provided to Hades earlier that day. They learn that Hades will cover Zee’s fine and give some money to the boys who attended the earlier event.

Perez advises everyone not to take IFAKs and tourniquets that Marlo procured for the gang unless it is for cargo events. Lance mentions that he has some tourniquets without ID that can be used. Benji suggests that Perez prepare some kits for the event for everyone’s accessibility in case another cargo event occurs.
• Marlo expresses a desire to steal the damaged helicopter from LSPD and repair it to retrieve the last container from the cargo. Rico arrives at LSPD and notices that his tow truck is still attached to the helicopter outside the parking lot. He successfully steals the helicopter and drives it to the airport for repairs and refueling. Despite multiple attempts, the helicopter remains unrepaired and eventually disappears. While the other boys disperse to do their own thing, Benji heads to the prison to pick up Zee. Afterward, he drives to the bank to withdraw money for Zee’s fine. Rico (El Rata) calls to provide updates about their previous conversation and potential future issues.
• Benji gives Zee money for the fine and heads to TunaShop for his upgrades. Upon their arrival, Lance is already there, and Benji teases him about the lieutenant position, asking if he is genuinely interested. Lance admits he wants it, but he knows that Tictac and Fifi are more eager. Benji suddenly becomes serious and considers giving Lance the opportunity for lieutenant. He then drives Zee home to Grove and picks up Edgar for their meeting. Just as they are about to begin, Aleks calls to inform Benji that the rep is ready to install the upgrades in his car.
• Edgar starts the conversation by inquiring about the situation with BBMC and whether it could escalate. Benji recounts how he confronted Rusty, hurling insults, but neither Rusty nor Dundee responded. However, Benji is more focused on testing his car's upgrades. Fenyx then calls Benji, wanting to discuss something, and Benji tells him they will have a meeting soon.
• Benji test-drives his upgraded car, but to his frustration, the upgrades do not seem to enhance its performance. Disappointed, he orders Aleks to remove the upgrades and reinstall the stock parts. Upon returning to TunaShop, Aleks gets to work while Benji and Edgar step outside to have a conversation.
• Benji explains how the whole incident began. He had invited Dundee to the cargo event, but Dundee declined, opting to take a BBMC members instead. Benji continues to describe how Dundee, in good faith, offered him a crate in exchange for notifying him about the event, which he accepted. However, when the crate turned out to be filled with car parts, Benji felt a sense of unease. Consequently, he tracked the crate's route and intended to counter it. When Dundee started shooting at Hades, the situation escalated, resulting in BBMC getting shot down.
• The conversation shifts to reminiscences about Dundee and BBMC. Benji notes that without a strong vice, BBMC lacks direction and is losing its edge. He warns Edgar that if BBMC wants to confront Hades, Hadesis ready how weak BBMC truly is. Edgar is frustrated that neither Dundee nor Rusty reacted when Benji insulted Rusty. For Edgar, maintaining standing up for oneself is crucial, Benji agrees.
• Before parting ways, Benji shows Edgar the NVGs. As Benji drives around, he makes a quick stop at his apartment to store the w16 engine. Fenyx calls him, requesting a meeting, and they agree to meet at a mining shack. Fenyx expresses his admiration for Benji and his desire to prove his loyalty, hoping to join Hades as a member. Benji immediately declines, citing Fenyx's incompetence and lack of value for the gang. Fenyx insists that Benji wants him to prove his worth.

• Benji then proposes that Fenyx infiltrate BBMC to eliminate Rusty, which would earn him Benji’s vouch to join Hades. The goal is for Fenyx to demonstrate his consistency and reliability. They then drive back to the city, stopping at a clothing store to acquire disguises to blend in as Australian.
• Perez calls Benji to showcase some new tech, and they meet at the Abyss. Upon arrival, Benji explains to Fenyx why the club closed and that it was all his fault. Shortly after, Perez arrives with Fifi, introducing what he claims with his “new tech” (invisibility) but it turns out to be a scuff. Perez knocks out Fenyx for using an Aussie accent and drives him to the hospital while Benji ponders on the half-roof. Shortly after some of the High Stakes boys gather outside the Abyss. Eventually, Benji decides to go inside, watch clips on his computer, and eventually goes to sleep.
