Plot[]
Arbiter further searches for ways of coping with his deterioration by searching online on the computer whilst Master Chief anxiously awaits Emma's return onto Xbox Live, who merely spoke to him for thirty seconds and sent him a clan invite the night before. Emma appears online and Chief immediately goes into her server. Upon arriving, Chief manages to annoy all the other players in the server and Emma, after turning him down after his attempt to start a relationship, ultimately removes Chief from her server for his constantly rude behavior, leaving Chief no choice but to bring his Barbie Doll back from out of the bin apologizing to her.
In another server, Eugene punishes a player unfamiliar to him who has been trolling matches and forums poorly, falsely claiming to be a member of Eugene's clan in the process. Once the player has been fragged by Tyler, Eugene receives a call from Dr. Harris who informs him that his sister is ill.
Arbiter goes into the bathroom for some painkillers and notices Chief sat in the bathroom drinking and upset. He asks Arbiter to drink with him to which Arbiter hesitantly agrees. They talk, and Chief comes to realization that nobody likes him at all, Arbiter however comforts him and claims that he does. Chief smiles and Arbiter says that at least he has his Barbie Doll to which Chief replies is only 'plastic'.
Arbiter is shocked at Chief's realization, and the episode ends in silence.
