Ben agrees, on the condition that he may remain anonymous. The show goes great, but Triple J, not wanting Ben's talent to go uncredited, reveals his identity during the show by pulling down the hood he was wearing during it.

He becomes violent and degenerate, and is only saved by the intervention of Triple JJJ and a young fan, Luke Stark.
