Buster rushes down the street, phone to his ear as yells at Miss Crawly in a panic.

"Uh, what did you say, Mr. Moon?" She asks, sounding confused.

"Get out! All of you! Get out of there right now! There's no time to explain. Just get the cast and meet me back at the hotel!" He yells, but then ends up crashing into someone in his haste causing his phone to go flying into the road and getting smashed under a car's tire.

"And we're live in five, four, three, two..." The floor manager of Linda LeBon's show calls out.

Hot News...

Crystal is off stage getting ready for his appearance on the show when he instructs, "Jerry, go get my snacks."

"Yes, sir." Jerry replies dutifully before rushing off to Crystal's office.

Linda talks leisurely to the audience, as music continues in distance.

Jerry gasps and quickly rushes off when he reaches the office to find that Buster has escaped, the door that was once locked now wide open and empty.

"Here to discuss the drama surrounding his new show..." Linda introduces Crystal.

"Sir! Uh, sir, sir, sir." Jerry gets Crystal attention before whispering the new found information in his ear.

"Mr. Redshore City himself..." Linda continues

"What?" Crystal growls lowly.

"...please welcome Mr. Jimmy Crystal. Come on out here, Jimmy. Don't make us beg." Linda ushers.

Still off stage, Crystal snaps his finger then two bodyguards appear behind him. "Moon got out. Find him." He instructs before switching his expression to a more jovial one as he enters the set.

"Does this guy know how to make an entrance or what?" Linda laughs.

"Hey, everybody! Good to see you." He greets the audience with a smile.

"Linda, I got some hot news for you. You look terrific." He compliments.

"It is so good to see you." She replies.

"Well, thank you. Thank you for having me."

Back at the hotel Buster is furiously packing his stuff, waiting for the others to arrive when the doorbell suddenly rings.

He gasps in shock, looking for somewhere to hide as he thinks those are Crystals men coming to kill him.

Someone continues knocking and ringing the doorbell when Buster dives and folds himself into his suitcase and zips it up from the inside.

"Buster?" Ash calls out. "Ash? Ash, in here!" He calls out from inside the suitcase.

"Buster?" She says again in clear confusion.

"I-I'm stuck!" He yells.

"You got to be kidding me." Clay says in disbelief.

"Hold still. What are you doing in there?" She asks.

"Ash, the show's off. Crystal got mad and tried to kill me." He says, out of breath from panicking.

"What?" She says as she finally gets the suitcase to open and Buster all but tumbles out.

"I thought you were his thugs coming here to finish me off." He pants as the doorbell suddenly rings again.

"Oh, no. It's them." Buster says, worriedly. "Shh. Pretend we're not here."
