Synopsis:
The Femforce appear at a shopping mall autograph session to
bolster their public image. One of their fans is a strange
young man who gives off a tingling sensation as he shakes
each heroine's hand and leaves. Later, as the FF settle into
their new headquarters in Orlando, TC bursts in, furious
over a girlie magazine that features nude photo spreads of
the Femforce. Tara, Colt, and She-Cat protest their
innocence, but TC is in no mood to listen. Determined to
vindicate themselves, Tara and She-Cat confront Sol
Shooster, publisher of Buffy magazine. Shooster claims legal
protection however, and kicks them out. That night, as Colt
relaxes in the FF pool, two visitors enter the grounds. One
is Hidalgo Romero, who has been sent by Stella to get some
candid, unmasked footage of the team. The other is the boy
from the mall, who impersonates Colt and She-Cat, putting
Romero into a panic that causes the fleeing reporter to slam
into Sydney the handyman's rake. Later, the boy explains to
the team how he gained his shape shifting power from his
cancer treatments. Claiming that Shooster lied to him about
clearly stating that he was the model and not the actual
Femforce, he makes amends by giving Hidalgo a videotape
exposing Shooster's fraud. He also helps out Tara get even
with Stargaze by impersonating Stella in the next issue of
Buffy. |
