PoDCK was determined to see Hot Sundae fail. Not only were Rob and Terri beginning to challenge his place at the top of Los A Mo, he also had a score to settle with their enigmatic leader. Lisa had introduced Carter to the world of underground flip cup not long ago. He mastered the arts quickly and would soon outgrow the mentorship, or so he thought. He challenged Lisa to a flip-cup duel. Winner would be King, loser would be banished from Los A Mo forever.

It was the event of the century. The match would come down to a final-set tie break. Lisa knew the stakes were high, and decided to sway the odds in her favor. She dropped a mickey in her own drink, and soon fell ill. The match could not continue, and Lisa was banished. But her plan unfolded perfectly as the angry mob, convinced of Carter's cheating, turned on him with furious anger. He managed to escape with his life, but his pain never subsided.

Now he was back at the top, and he wouldn't allow Hot Sundae to take it away. He had a treacherous plan of his own.
