October 28th, 2025 - RECAP “Benji Ramos – NoPixel – TTS ON”

Morning in Vespucci
Benji wakes up at the apartment and jogs his way down to Vespucci. When he arrives at the parking lot, some of the boys are waiting to update him on the day’s earlier events. As more of them show up, Benji gives Winter a quick call since she hasn’t been around for a while. They catch up, and Winter tells him she’s been getting sick from her packages. Benji, in his usual teasing way, jokes about her sickness and weak immune system.

The New Babylon Shooting Recap
Eventually, Benji demands an update from the boys about Hades shooting New Babylon. At first, they hesitate, saying they want Reggie to give the recap, but Benji’s impatience pushes them to start. After some stalling, they tell him that Jimbo died, Ventura is in the ICU, and Cassie is sad but Mentos mocks the situation, making jokes about Jimbo’s death. Merc and others tell Mentos to stop, but he doubles down.
Then, they move on to the main topic. Ollie explains how New Babylon came down to Vespucci and held up Merc and John to take back their roulette table. Later, Hades went to Sandy Shores to get revenge. Before they could act, they caught one of NB’s members, Saab, in Vespucci and took him to the hospital for questioning. But before they could talk to him, NB showed up and held up all of Hades to rescue Saab. After that, Hades went to Sandy to try and get the table back and strike back at NB.
Reggie, Louis, and Jayden arrive mid-recap. Afterward, Benji moves on and asks about the election results. He learns he lost for the second time. Dawn Heart won for the North, and Charles Danger won for the South.

Reggie’s Concerns about Chico and Jayden

After the discussion, Benji walks away, and Reggie follows to express concern about Chico’s attitude toward Jayden. He warns that the tension could escalate into violence. Reggie explains how the two were yelling at each other earlier and says Chico is overstepping. Benji disagrees, believing Jayden isn’t showing Chico proper respect. He reminds Reggie that Jayden needs to watch his tone, especially around close members of the gang.
Benji calls Chico to hear his side. Chico explains, and from what Benji gathers, Chico had a right to be upset about Jayden’s attitude. Reggie and Benji discuss the issue in several sidebars, trying to find a fair solution. Reggie insists Chico must understand the gang’s hierarchy, but Chico stands firm, saying Jayden’s attitude not rank is the problem.
Eventually, Benji calls Jayden to join the conversation. When he arrives, things quickly get heated. Both Jayden and Chico start yelling back and forth while Benji silently laughs to himself. After a long argument, Jayden gives his perspective, Chico gives his, and Benji steps in to end the conflict. He reminds them both how important they are to the gang and especially to the core group (Benji, Reggie, KJ). He stresses that the gang isn’t stable enough for infighting and insists they move forward with a clean slate.

Recon Mission at New Babylon
After the event, Benji and some of the boys drive to Sandy Shores to scout New Babylon’s compound. They spread out and searched for the roulette table. Expecting resistance, they’re surprised to find the place empty. They explore the trailers, discovering maps and territory layouts. The group checks several properties NB owns in Sandy, in case some are left unlocked.

End of the Night
After finishing recon, everyone returns to Vespucci. Benji drives around for a while, reflecting on the day, before finally heading to bed.
