She goes to see Moz. Ebony makes a deal with Moz.
This deal with Moz unfolds over time...



THE SHERIFF

For some reason, all of Moz's girls decide to offer themselves to Lex as deputies...
Moz appears unhappy about it... Or is it just an act?

THE AMULET
Ebony tells Ellie to restart the Amulet, 'To help bring the Mall Rats back on top'.
The Amulet becomes a useful tool to Ebony for promoting herself.
Ellie maintains the Amulet as truthful as possible.
She won't use it to manipulate the truth.

Distribution of the money will be fair and controlled... So Ebony says...
But, Ebony has other uses for the money... A new tool to buy allies.


BUZZED OFF!
After reading The Amulet, Moz is upset, saying the Mall Rats are trying to control the city.
Moz believes the Rats will become rich as they're controlling the money and everyone else will be poor.
She goes to the Mall to give the Rats a piece of her mind.
Ebony calms her down and agrees with Moz, there can only be one controller of the city..
In what appears to be the heat of the moment, Ebony makes the suggestion the city votes for a leader.
Moz agrees with Ebony's suggestion...
Did Ebony organise Moz's visit so that she could suggest the election?

That's right, every event since Moz beat up Bray had been planned. Everything.
Taisan meanwhile has news that the Guardian tracked her down.

News reaches a desperate Alice, Alice leaves her farm seeking her revenge...
Luke, about to leave the mall, sees an angry Alice heading towards the mall.
He follows her... He knows that look on Alice's face means more than trouble...

ALL... OR NOTHING
The odds don't look too good. Ebony can lose everything in this investigation.
She goes ahead, she'll take part in the investigation, as she has to stay on top.
Moz is worried, her alliance with Ebony may come out in the trial...
Ebony assures Moz she won't reveal to anyone about their alliance.
Ebony likes the odds though, she's a gambling woman...
The investigation has two outcomes, Ebony can lose all or nothing.

DEAD?!?!
