Plot
Michael and Mikey play chessboxing together, as preparation for their next mission. MW watches as the judge. Mikey eventually gets frustrated and lets Michael win. They then get into an argument, which develops into a fist fight. Mikey is jealous of August on behalf of Edgar.

Mikey is suspicious of August, since he killed Elder Hunter, and says many hurtful things to Michael, including an implication that August may have killed Edgar. Michael eventually reveals that Edgar died of a brain hemorrhage, and that he spent a long time attempting to correct his death, to no avail. Mikey immediately regrets his actions and apologizes to Michael.

MW attempts to mediate the fight between Michael and Mikey throughout. MW explains both Mikey's and Michael's emotional states, mentioning that Michael got him into journaling, which allowed him to reflect on himself. Mikey and Michael cool down and make up, and Michael stitches up Mikey's wounds.

Mikey promises Michael that he will replace the footage from the spy equipment in August's house with dummy footage, so that Base won't be able to intrude on August and Michael's "personal business." Mikey makes this promise on the conditions that Michael investigate the Elder Hunter situation, and that he is able to issue a correction if necessary. The episode ends with MW and Michael beginning a chessboxing match together.
