The Final Episode of Series Two

The episode begins within Ryan, Bray and Lex watching helplessly as the Guardian captures the Tribe Leaders at Danni's meeting and threatens to set them on fire unless they agree to worsip Zoot. Faced with this, all of the, except Danni fall to their knees saying 'Zoot Be Praised'. Lex and Bray press Patsy for information about the Chosen but she doesn't know anything and when they get angry she rsuhes off in tears. Chloe consols her and encourages her to return to the Mall and warn the others

Back at the Mall the others are blissfully unaware and Trudy puts their fears about the Chosen to rest. Suddenly Alice arrives and annuonces the news that the Chosen are back. However Trudy says she's lying because she's in league with Ebony. For a time the group are distracted with this. The Alice gives up and rushes to find her sister and get her to safety. But its too late, they are captured but Jack manages to escape them by hiding under his bed. With the others the debate about the Chosen is still going and then Patsy returns and proves Trudy is a traitor. Finally everyone believes her and they are just about to take her hostage when The Chosen arrive and take them to the hotel.

Ryan lex and Bray are abou to rush in to save Danni and then she's led away. The boys rush back to the Mall to try and find the others but they've already been taken. When they've finished blaming each other they try to formulate a plan.

They discover Jack in a bad state in his room, blaming himself for Ellie's capture. Then screaming is heard from outside and they find that Wolf has been beaten up and sent with a message from the Chosen: Danni will die if Bray doesn't give himself up by noon the next day.

So they set their minds to a plan and go off to a deserted building just outside the hotel to try and find a way in. Then Wolf excuses himself saying he's going out for some air.

Lex notices he's sweating and when Wolf wiped his black eye and paint comes off onto his hand Lex smells a rat but before he can do anything Wolf punches him and legs it. Bray wrestles with him then Jack comes to his rescue and throws Wolf down the stairs.

That night, back at the Mall, Jack comes up with a brilliant plan to 'smoke' The Chosen out of the building by putting some smoking clothes in the ventilation shaft. The next morning Bray is entirely unimpressed by Lex's efforts to 'mobilize the tribes' and goes out to try himself. Midday is approaching and Lex, Ryan Jack and a few people set out for the hotel, Bray still hasn't returned.

At the Hotel, Jack gets up on the roof and, covered by Ryan who has stolen one of the Chosen's outfits so he could get in, he carries out the plan. Meanwhile Danni is called down to the pool side, ready to be executed if Bray doesn't turn up. Finally he does and asks them to let Danni go and take him instead. At that moment the smoke begins pouring out of the building and the cavalry arives. Upstairs, Jack rushes to where the Mallrats are being held and kicks the door down to set them free. The fight goes well, and the Chosen retreat to the beach. But Lex and Bray know they can't let them get away this time.

They rush down to the beach and Lex follows in his sand buggy and arrives just in time to see them surround the Chosen. Th Guardian then goes forward, give Bray one of the knives and offers his throat and the chance to wipe out his 'greatest enemy'. But of course Bray won't do it. At that moment we hear the sounds of chanting coming from around the cliffs, 'Zoot! Zoot!' and more of The Chosen turn up in black vans and on foot and quad bikes all armed and looking very dangerous. There's a short battle and the Mallrats and the rest of the tribes are easily defeated. Then, as Bray is lying at the Guardian's feet, Lex pulls up in the sand buggy and tells him to get in. Carefully putting on helmets and seat belts they drive off, only to overturn and the last shot we see is fo them lying motionless. Meanwhile The Chosen Mother arrives on a pony complete with handmadiens and baby. The episode ends with the Chosen chanting to Zoot and The Chosen Mother, while the Mallrats look on in disbelief.

Highlights

All the Tribe Leaders are captured and Danni desperatly appeals to them:
Danni: Don't you see? If he goes ahead he will star a war that no one can win!
Jaffa: War? I prefer 'crusade'.

May prompts Salene to reveal what happenned the night before:
May: So did ya?
Salene: It was my wedding night May- what was I gonna say? Sorry I have a headache
?

Bray, Lex and Ryan arrive back at the Mall to find it deserted:
Bray: The Chosen must have got here first.
Lex: Nice one Bray- did you think of that all by yourself?

Lex: From now on we do everything my way.
Bray: and what do you want to do?
Lex: Alright. First things first- I wanna hunt down this fruitcake... this Guardian, whatever his name is, and I'm gonna tear his arms off!
[Bray starts to clap slowly]
Bray: Good plan Lex.

Danni: Looks like you're outnumbered.
Jaffa: Or perhaps they've come to worship at my new temple!
Danni: You believe that, then you're even crazier than I thought.

Alice and Ellie are in the room at night and they look across to Tai-san
Alice: She's meditating. This is no time to meditate.
Ellie: I'd have thought it was the perfect time.

Lex reviews the weapons situation:
Are we gonna fight these guys or play them at mixed doubles?

Jack: So what's the plan?
Lex: Bray's gonna pretend to give himself up...
Bray: And as soon as Danni's clear, Lex is gonna give the signal to attack.
Jack: OK- that's stupid!
Lex: Jack- you're the one who gave us the idea in the first place.
Jack: Me??
Lex: Well after what you ndid wih Wolf today, we figured we'd just send you in first and then wait 15 minutes and then the rest of us would come in with stretchers and carry everybobdy out.

Tai-san takes a moment to try and figure out why she married Lex:
Tai-san: I don't know why I love him so much. He's deceitful... dishonourable...
Alice: He's downright bad, but Honey- that's half the attraction.

Jack: Can I just remind you that there's only seven of us.
Lex: So. You never heard of the magnificent seven?
Jack: [blank look]

Jack worries about Lex's overconfidence.

Danni: It's funny- I should feel suprised that you betrayed us, shocked, I should feel something. But you know what? I don't.
Trudy: No but I know you don't like to lose control- you're like Amber in that respect. I guess thats why Bray took up with you! You remind him of her.
Danni: Is that all?
Trudy: I just thought I'd like to you know- its time for you to see him again.
Danni: Bray? Bray's here?
Trudy: Soon. The Guardian gave him til noon to surrender... or you'll die. And you know Bray; he's far too gallant to ignore a damsel in distress.
Danni: [with a smile] unless it's you.

Release her? But now I have you both.
The Guardian breaks the grim truth to Bray.

Bray: You alright?
Danni: Fine - Zoot be praised.

Danni expresses her relief at her rescue.

Stuff you may have missed!

Firstly, that guy at Danni's meeting with the horns and the gas mask.

Then, when the Chosen enter, theres a girl by the door who collects the spears they use. Watch her about to fall under the weight!

Lex's feathers keep switching sides throughout the episode. (puts crash helmet on - feathers on one side; takes it off - yup, they've jumped to the other!) -nightowl

When Patsy walks into (is pushed into) Trudy's room, we can hear baby sounds even though Brady's mouth is actually closed at the time. -nightowl

Immediately after this scene, we see Bray looking out the window and it's obviously a very sunny day, but in the next shot (the hotel entrance) it's raining! -nightowl

During the dialogue between Alice and Tai-San, at some point Alice says "At this precise moment? Absolutely" and there's a close-up of T-S's facial reaction, which is actually something she did a few seconds earlier when Alice said "I'm a Mall Rat too". (unless she did it twice but I don't think so, it looks really identical) -nightowl

Lex says he's going to scout ahead but by the time he gets to the beach, everyone else has already arrived.

In the previous episode Ebony said she was going to make for the hills but then at the very end of this one she turns up at the beach. I slight loss of sense of direction methinks.

Zoot is mentioned 164 times in this episode alone.
