Jem: Episode List

1- "The Beginning"
Airdate: October 6, 1985

The episode begins with what looks to be either a red carpet premiere or a concert, with fans rapidly shouting out each of the Holograms' names as they get out of their limo with Jem being the last one out, and being questioned by many paparazzi. Jem narrates and states all this began when her father passed away, and the scene changes to her father's funeral. Jem's real identity is revealed here to be Jerrica Benton. She and the other Holograms, as well as their road manager (and Jerrica's boyfriend), Rio, walk away gloomily. Business partner Eric Raymond catches up with them and has a short conversation with Jerrica, offering her some help if she needs anything. Rio tells him that Jerrica can handle herself and walks away with her, leaving Eric standing in the rain.

Jem states that her father left her two inheritances: Starlight Music and the Starlight House. In the house, Rio's working on a short in the ceiling light while Aja is vacuuming and Jerrica is fixing the broken sink while Kimber strums her guitar, singing to herself. Rio shouts to Aja, asking her to test out the light. As she does what he asked her to do, the light sparks while the vacuum literally goes out of control and bangs the ladder, making Rio fall on the vacuum, literally popping it in the process. The dirt from the destroyed vacuum spreads into the kitchen, making Jerrica sneeze and accidentally pop out the pipe, letting all of the water flow out. While getting out from underneath the sink, one of the Starlight Girls tells Jerrica that there's problems to which Jerrica replies sarcastically, "Oh, tell me about them."

Later in Jerrica's room, Shana, Aja, Kimber and Rio discuss the recent problems that occurred (although, in the rebroadcast version, Kimber's line about the plumbing and furniture was cut out). Shana states that they need money to fix the place up, to which the woman drying Jerrica's hair (Mrs. Bailey) replies that Jerrica and Kimber's father used to get money from Starlight Music. Jerrica gets up and grabs one of her dresses, saying that she could too.

Upon arriving at Starlight Music, Jerrica runs past a guard (who replaced Harry after Eric fired him) into a elevator leading her to the lobby where her father's old office is located at. Jerrica notices a new secretary, and questions what happened to the old one (Gloria). The secretary replies rudely that she doesn't know since she was hired the week before by Eric Raymond. Jerrica runs angrily into her father's old office and asks him if he's making himself at home. Eric asks her why she came, which Jerrica replies that she needs money for the Starlight House. Eric tells her that it's not a charity and she's just a child, Jerrica tells him that her father gave half of Starlight to her, until Eric says he's going to turn Starlight Music into the biggest recording company in the country until stating that he needs fresh blood like The Misfits, who come into the office on bikes that are the shapes of guitars. Jerrica yells for them to get out of her office, and Eric states that it's his office now, causing tension between Jerrica and Pizzazz. After Pizzazz, Stormer and Roxy perform "Outta My Way", torturing and tormenting Jerrica in the process. Eric states that there would be a Battle of the Bands the next day, to which Roxy states that he made sure that all the bands are all lousy, leading the Misfits to a instant victory. Pizzazz insults Jerrica one more time before Eric calmly tells Jerrica that he's in control now and there is nothing she could do about it. Jerrica angrily responds that he shouldn't be too sure of that before leaving.

Later that night, a storm is going on, and Jerrica, Shana, Aja and Kimber in what looks to be one of their rooms. Jerrica opens a box with her name on it, and sees red star earrings. Kimber compliments them, and Aja states that Rio probably sent them to her. Suddenly, they hear thunder and the window bursts open, after shutting it, all four girls see a hologram by the name Synergy right before them, saying that it has come for her (Jerrica). The hologram tells Jerrica to meet her at the abandoned drive-in, and upon following the instructions, Synergy tells them to go through the wall. Aja states that she's not that crazy, but after a few words from Jerrica, goes through the wall into what looks to be illusion. The girls get out of the van, and Synergy introduces herself. And for a few seconds, turns the girls into one another before showing them all of what Jerrica and Kimber's father left for them.

The scene changes to the Battle of the Bands competition the next day, to which Eric Raymond announces three bands that are competing against the Misfits, all of which got negative responds from the audience until he announces the Misfits, who get very positive responds. Before he could announce the winners, Jem performs Only The Beginning, leaving The Misfits and Eric Raymond completely shocked, which after she finished singing and introduced herself and her band. Eric Raymond angrily walks up with a complaint, then asks who invited them, Jem states that Jerrica was the one that invited them. Upon making a hologram of her, Jem turns back into Jerrica and runs to where the hologram was standing. Eric challenges her to a Battle of the Bands and a film producer named Howard Sands offered to support it, saying that the winner would get a movie contract and his mansion. Pizzazz states to the other Misfits that they would win it, and then, deliberately steals Jem and the Holograms' instruments, driving away in their van. Noticing their instruments where gone, Jerrica, Aja, Shana, and Kimber go after them in the Rockin' Roadster, until Roxy and Stormer deliberately throw their instruments at them, making the Holograms end up at the edge of a cliff. Jerrica quickly makes a hologram of Jem, and tells Synergy to make the hologram get help. The hologram of Jem waves to Rio, who was passing by, and tells him the Holograms were in trouble. Rio drives to cliff and saves Jerrica and the others, ending up in the newspaper the next day.

Eric crumbles up the newspaper featuring Jem, and tells the Misfits that one-million dollars worth of publicity, along with stating that they're lucky Jerrica didn't call the police on them. The Misfits tell him to lighten up, and that it's not their fault that Aja couldn't drive, but she could. Eric tells them to leave the serious business to him and tells them he'll see to it that they win. The Misfits then perform "Winning Is Everything".

Meanwhile, at the Starlight House, the Starlight Girls (excluding Krissie, who was nowhere in sight at the moment until the next episode and Laura isn't seen until season 2) give Becky and Lela money for the Honor Jar so they can buy a new refrigerator for the house, according to Lela they only needed $30 more. Later on, Jerrica catches Ashley (one of the Starlight Girls) trying to steal Lela, Deirdre, Becky, Ba Nee, Terri, Krissie (even though she doesn't until appear the next episode), Marianne, Anne, Joellen, Nancy and Delaree's money from the Honor Jar to try and rip them off until she was caught by the Holograms, Jerrica tells her to put it back.

2- "Disaster"
Airdate: October 27, 1985

The episode begins from where the first one left off: The Starlight House is on fire and Jerrica, Kimber, Shana, and Aja are outside waiting for the firemen to arrive. Meanwhile, Ashley sneaks into the house to get the money. She is then carried out while holding the money jar in her hand and Jerrica tells her to never do something like that again and how her life is more important than any amount of money.

Later, Rio arrives and hugs Jerrica, telling her everything is going to be fine. When the fire is finally put out, one of the Starlight Girls asks where they are going to live now, to which Jerrica states that she knows the perfect place and how they are going to have a morning concert.

They get ready to go to the old movie drive-in by getting into their van, but The Misfits begin to follow them. They notice them and begin to drive faster. The Misfits keep catching up until Jerrica has an idea and tells Aja, who i driving, to go into an alley.

The Misfits follow them there and notice only a garbage container. When they notice "Rio", they leave, making it a perfect opportunity for The Holograms to arrive at the movie drive-in. They enter the place where Synergy is at and prepare for the concert. Jerrica turns into Jem and enters the car while the "Like A Dream" music video plays on.

The Holograms request Howard to let them, and the Starlight Girls, live in the mansion that's being offered as a prize until they win the Battle of the Bands or until they can find a new place to live. The Misfits express that this should be against the rules of the contest, but Howard allows them to live in the mansion until the contest ends. The Misfits and Eric Raymond cause a ruckus at the mansion, resulting in an explosion that damages a wall and causes minor harm to those present, but no one is seriously hurt.

As the Starlight Girls move in, Ashley thinks her task to get the thirty dollars for the "Honor Jar" is unnecessary, but the other girls remind her that she still has to, and while she is able to do so when she lets the Misfits into the mansion's grounds, she throws a fit when asked how she got the thirty dollars, as how it was obtained was just as important as it.

Later on, during their time on a yacht, the Holograms are attacked by the Misfits who, as usual, are causing trouble and cause the yacht to head toward an oil tanker.

3- "Kimber's Rebellion"
Airdate: November 17, 1985

Rio is able to pull Jem back onto the yacht, but when she kisses him out of gratitude, he feels like he's betraying Jerrica. The others come and watch the Misfits ride off on their boat while thanking the Countess for everything she's done for them. The Countess, Howard Sands and Anthony Julian offer to help the Holograms film a music video in Paris, but they need to concentrate on getting the music done first.

When the Misfits find out that Jem and the Holograms are going to Paris and complain about not going, Eric tells them that he can only embezzle so much from Starlight Music. While the Jem & the Holograms are off shooting in Paris, Ashley runs off and finds the Misfits, who decided to take her in as one of their own.

Eric sends Zipper to Paris to sabotage Jem and the Holograms' music video. Kimber gets upset because Jem is getting all the attention and nearly tells Rio about Jem's secret, but Aja and Shana quickly intervene. Anthony directs the girls and they finish up the "Twilight In Paris" video. Zipper dislodges a gargoyle statue that nearly kills the girls, but Rio gets the girls out of the way.

Jem and The Holograms come back to the United States to find that the entire town is plastered with Misfits posters and attempt to make up for lost time by "Gettin' Down to Business" but they are thwarted by the Misfits, Eric and Ashley.

Kimber goes to Starlight Music to lash out at Eric, but he preys upon her jealousy of all the attention Jem is getting by offering her a recording contract. She returns to the mansion where Lin-Z Pierce wants an interview with Jem and she'll get the Holograms later. Kimber gets angry and tells them to find some other flunky to plunk keys for them. She quits the band and bolts out the door taking off in the Rockin' Roadster.

Jerrica feels terrible despite Aja and Shana's assurances. Jerrica calls Lin-Z to insist that all of them be interviewed or none of them at all. Jerrica, Aja and Shana head out to look for Kimber not knowing where but she would be listening to her favorite radio station, KMAX.

The girls go to the station and make an announcement to Kimber on the air to come back home because without her there is no Holograms and without the Holograms, there is no Jem. Kimber hears their pleas and turns around and tells the group that without Jem there's no Holograms.

Rio pulls up, letting the girls know that they have 15 minutes to get to Lin-Z's show. During the drive, Rio tells Jerrica that he can't be Jem's road manager anymore. Jerrica tells him he's irreplaceable and begs him to stay. Rio doesn't answer due to the Holograms pulling Jerrica away to go into the studio.

On Lin-Z's show, Jem and the Holograms sing, "I've Got My Eye on You" live. The Misfits see this and head toward the studio. As the interview barely starts, the Misfits burst into the studio and attempt to take over, wanting equal time. Lin-Z tells them that she was going to invite the Misfits to do their own interview, but they've ruined their chance. She asks for some of the guys to escort these ladies out of her studio.

On her way out, Pizzazz slaps Lin-Z on her way out saying her that her show doesn't have enough class. She tells Rio that he should come work for them, but when Rio tells Pizzazz not a chance, she elbows him which knocks him into a speaker causing a chain reaction that traps Jem amongst the falling equipment.

Malone runs away from the explosion while Synergy calls to Jerrica that there is an intruder at the Starlight Drive-In. Aja catches up to Malone while Synergy disguises the group as elderly women. Aja follows Malone to an one-hour photo shop and then back to Starlight Music.

Realizing that Eric will want to take Synergy and exploit her for his own purposes, the girls rent a moving van and head back to the Starlight Drive-In. They're surprised to see Synergy in a heap on the floor, but it turns out it was only a hologram she projected to scare Malone off. Jerrica, Kimber, Aja and Shana proceed to take her apart.

Meanwhile, Malone shows Eric the pictures and tells him that Emmet Benton owned Starlight Drive-In and offers the theory that Jem and Jerrica are the same person. Eric doesn't believe it because he's seen the two of them together before, but he does believe that Synergy is important to the Holograms' act and hires Zipper and another thug to come with him to the Drive-In to steal Synergy.

Jerrica and the other girls manage to leave right before they get there. Eric vows it'll be the last time they'll make a fool out of him. The Holograms put Synergy back together correctly. As Synergy sees Jerrica, she's elated and transforms her into Jem as they sing "She's Got The Power".

The day of the Battle of the Bands has arrived and Pizzazz is very mad because none of Eric's brilliant schemes have worked and it looks like Jem and the Holograms are going to win. Ashley knocks on Eric's door to return the $30 that the Misfits gave her. Eric inquires on who she is and Roxy tell him she's a good for nothing Starlight orphan. He tells the Misfits to leave her with him while they get ready for the concert. Stormer lingers wondering what he's going to do to Ashley.

Eric calls Jerrica to tell her that he is holding Ashley hostage and that Jem and the Holograms must meet him at the Starlight Drive-In or else. Jerrica tells the Holograms what happened and they're all determined to go with her. She then tells a suspicious Rio that they have something to do before the concert and the band takes off.

At the concert, Eric gives Ashley to the Misfits and tells them to hide her while he goes to a meeting. Ashley takes off running from Pizzazz and Roxy. They end up catching her and lock her in a chest. Stormer stays behind to help Ashley, but Pizzazz and Roxy come back and find her and tell her she has to pick a side. Stormer apologizes to Ashley and goes off with her bandmates.

Jem and the Holograms meet Eric at the Drive-In. When Kimber notices that they are surrounded by thugs, she warns Jem to get out of there. Jem takes off in the Roadster attempting to leave but Zipper cuts her off. She gets out and runs into the lot where Zipper grabs her while on his motorcycle. Synergy calls out but Jem tosses one of her earrings on the ground.

Meanwhile, the concert is underway and the Misfits prove to be a real crowd pleaser singing "Taking It All". Howard Sands explains to the audience that their applause will be measured by a huge guitar applause rock-o-meter. Eric then asks the audience to cheer one more time for the Misfits as the star lights reach up to the second to last star.

Eric begins gloating that the Holograms will lose by default if they fail to turn up by intermission.

Rio pounces on him and demands to know where the girls are. They are interrupted by Ashley's screams coming from a forklift heading for the trash crusher. Stormer yells that Ashley's in the trunk and Rio pulls it off the belt just in the nick of time. Ashley tells Rio the Holograms are at the Starlight Drive-In. Howard informs Rio to hurry or else the Misfits will win the contest.

Back at the Drive-In, Jem is giving instructions to Synergy. Synergy then makes a series of Holograms to fool Zipper's thugs into thinking that they're lions on the inside & cops outside. The girls make a run for it but Zipper grabs Kimber before they get the chance to get out the door and locked back in.

Synergy disguises Jem, Aja and Shana as a triple Eric and the three confuse Zipper long enough for Kimber to slip away. They manage to throw a crate over him when Rio arrives with the police. After kissing Rio, Jem picks up her lost earring before heading off to the concert in a police car.

The audience is chanting for Jem and Howard starts to announce that the winners are the Misfits, but Jem and the Holograms burst onto the stage and completely blow the crowd away with "Music is Magic." Ashley is reunited with the other Starlight Girls in the front row watching the concert.

In an attempt to get away, Eric hops into the Rockin' Roadster but the cops surround him and arrest him for kidnapping. The audience's applause lights up the stars to the top of the guitar neck which makes Jem and the Holograms the official winners of the Battle of the Bands and the legal owners of Starlight Music and Starlight Mansion.

As the victory fireworks skyrocket overhead, the Misfits can't believe they've been defeated, but Pizzazz tells them they that they are still the Misfits. Jem and the Holograms celebrate their victory.

Jerrica and Rio go to Starlight Music and throw away Eric Raymond's name tag and go into her office, only to discover Eric's in there. He finishes packing some things, including a photo of Synergy, into his shopping bag telling Jerrica that it's amazing what lawyers can do if you pay them enough.

As he begins to leave, he smacks Jerrica in the face, but Rio in turn punches him out of the office. Jerrica tells Rio that she will make something great out of Starlight Music with something that would make her father be proud. The two hold each other as the fireworks go off.

Misfits Music is set up directly across the street from Starlight Music, much to Jerrica's annoyance. She gathers the Holograms for a meeting with Synergy, who offers to enhance their act by creating new costumes and special effects, but the meeting turns dangerous when Techrat, Eric's new gadget man, tests out a jamming device that makes all the electrical appliances in Starlight Mansion go haywire, including Synergy's lasers.
