The next day, everyone arrived at the set, ready to do it.

"Alright," said Eric, "Let's go! Action!"

The Holograms then started playing, as Jem sang.

Every place you go, everywhere you turn
Someone else is moving in and they're making time
And it's getting underneath your skin, whoa, whoa
Doesn't it hurt? 

(Jem and Rio appear from behind a large fan, and Nick pulled Jem away. Rio was getting very jelly jelly.)

Jealousy, baby
Doesn't it burn?
Jealousy
Doesn't it consume your soul,
Making you lose control? Jealousy
Nothing to be said, nothing to be done

(Rio reaches for Jem, only to ignore him, and Nick to smirk smugly at him. Seth noticed this, and got nervous.)

Someone else is in your place and you won't forgive
And it's hitting you right where you live, whoa, whoa
Doesn't it hurt? Jealousy, baby
Doesn't it burn? Jealousy
Doesn't it grab hold of you,
Breaking your heart in two? Jealousy

(Mew, Eva, and Bubbles all danced around the set, with Toxtricity and Grookey jamming with Aja and Shana.)

All at once, you're wild and running, running blind
Revenge, revenge, revenge is the one thing on your mind, whoa, whoa
Doesn't it hurt? Jealousy, baby
Doesn't it burn? Jealousy
Doesn't it consume your soul,
Making you lose control?

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy

"RIO!! STOP!!" yelled Seth, but it was too late.

Rio charged in, and punched Nick square in the face.

"Rio, what's gotten into you!? It's just a scene!" said Jem.

"GET OFF THE SET, NOW!!" yelled Eric.

"He stays," said Pizzazz, "Or I'm telling Daddy!"

Eric, growling in defeat, threw the script up, and walked out.

"If you wanna stay on this set," said Pizzazz, "Then you better be very nice to me."

Jem then walked away, with Rio feeling hurt from this.

Later, the press had arrived, and were getting ready to interview the Holograms.

"Is everybody ready for the press conference?" asked Eric.

"Yes, we're ready!" said Jem.

"Okay you guys," said Seth to Charizard, Blastoise, Victreebel, and Machamp, "These people are only here to ask us questions. So, try to be cool with it."

The Pokémon gave a thumbs up, and Seth saw Nick talking with Jem.

"Remember to play a part of our romance in the press conference, makes great publicity," said Nick.

"What romance!?" asked Jem.

"Trust me," said Nick.

Seth got between them, and said, "Hey, back off Buster. She's not interested!"

"We're ready!" said Pizzazz.

"I think we should go," said Rio, motioning to him, Jen and Jason.

"You mustn't miss the little surprise!" said Pizzazz, hugging Rio's arm.

"What surprise?" asked Rio.

"You'll see," said Pizzazz.

The stage manager then said, "Um, Mr. Raymond, we're a day behind schedule."
