February 4th, 2025 - RECAP – “Benji – NoPixel 4.0 (SPAM FRIENDLY CHAT)”

• Benji's Morning and Arrival at the Abyss
Benji wakes up at the apartment with music blasting and in a great mood. He dances here and there, enjoying the beats as he makes his way to the Abyss. The place seems empty, so he continues vibing on the roof. Soon, Fat Boy arrives and chats briefly about what is in store for the day.
Benji then calls Ray to tell him that Hades is dead because no one retweeted him. Ray replies that he might go to sleep since the city is dull and there is nothing to do. Benji retorts, explaining that moments like this are exactly why he formed WSV with Rico. He reminisces about the fun Rico brought to Vespucci and to Hades in general.
• Driving Around the City
As Benji drives around the city checking for things to do, he tells Reggie that Ray is bored and wants to sleep. However, Reggie seems busy chasing the Mights (Reggie's family members), so he hangs up. Benji then calls KJ to update him about Ray's mood, but KJ appears indifferent, leading Benji to hang up. Eventually, Benji drives back to the Abyss and engages in a brief conversation with Fat Boy and Ray while everyone else appears to be hunting the Mights.
• High Command Meeting
Reggie, KJ, and Mona arrive at the Abyss, prompting a quick meeting with Benji. Benji addresses the lack of activity in Vespucci, but KJ explains that High Command has halted all weed pushing in the area due to the police investigation into Hades. The conversation becomes heated due to misunderstandings between Benji and KJ. In the end, however, they agree on the issues and try to find a solution to the inactivity in the area. As they search for an answer, the discussion turns to the Mights and how many Reggie has already killed. The conversation continues until KJ and Mona fall asleep, leaving Reggie to ponder how all these Mights ended up in the city.
• Claire Police Chase

While Benji is talking with Reggie, Claire calls him for help, she is being chased by the PD for blowing up cars. Benji heads to a parking lot to swap vehicles, retrieving his big monster truck to pick up Claire. He collects her at the pier, and with help from Reggie, Marlo, and Ray, they attempt to escape. Benji maneuvers through the city, taking multiple routes to lose the pursuers, but none of his attempts succeed. The chase spans several areas from Vinewood to Southside and continues until the car is disabled at a construction site by UwU Café.
Ray picks up Benji, and as they try to rescue Claire, she ends up getting cuffed and arrested. Meanwhile, Reggie is chased separately, prompting the boys to attempt a rescue for him. Despite trying several blocks to evade capture, Reggie’s escape fails. Eventually, Benji takes over driving to help Reggie get away, but after a series of futile attempts through Vinewood, the car is disabled once again. Marlo eventually picks up Reggie, followed by Ray picking up Benji, and everyone manages to get out safely.
• Benji and Gabby Banter
Later, Benji and Gabby engage in a conversation filled with banter about celibacy and the lack of people in Vespucci. Benji seeks information about Diggy, questioning whether he is capable of taking over the reins that Rico once held in WSV. Benji explains to Gabby the potential Rico had as a leader and a true Southside gangster.
Gabby then offers her perspective on Diggy, describing his personality and attributes. She believes that Diggy’s silly and goofy nature prevents people from taking him seriously, especially among those who identify as Southside gangsters. However, she also asserts that Diggy has all the necessary qualities to lead if he chooses to be serious. Benji contemplates this and grows hopeful about Diggy’s ability to lead WSV and reunite the people.
• The Mights and the Showdown

Suddenly, many Mights wake up, and Reggie goes out to hunt them again. Benji, however, tries to save as many of them as possible by hiding them from Reggie. As Reggie, assisted by Gabby, hunts for the Mights, Benji drives around the city, rescuing five of them and hiding them in a trailer in Sandy.
Benji then calls for a showdown so that Reggie can settle his beef with all the Mights. He gathers all the Mights at the Court Center in the maze and calls Reggie to come and settle the matter. When Reggie and Gabby arrive, the Mights are lined up and ready. Eventually, Reggie shoots them all, after which Benji buries them.
In the aftermath, Reggie, Gabby, Tictac, and Benji debrief on the events at the beach in Vespucci. They share a pleasant conversation and seem content until Tsunami hits, and Benji goes to bed.
