Synopsis[]
The girls go undercover on a popular game show F.I.G.H.T. (Fear Intimidation Gladiator Habitat) to discover why the famous Olympic decathlete Reggie Willis and several other competitors have gone missing after losing on the show. It turns out that the host Vince King has been enslaving the contestants using mind-controlling electronic collars to make them into new gladiators, ensuring that no one will ever win. During their time as contestants, the girls became crowd favorites, but Vince turns Sam into a gladiator, pitting her against Clover, Alex and a freed Reggie Willis rally together and attempt to pull the plug and end the show once and for all. In the subplot, Alex tries to befriend tough new girl Donna Ramone, but her interactions anger Donna more that Donna calls her out for a beating after school.
In the B-story, Alex is having trouble with a bully at school.

Alex: (suddenly snaps at Donna, causing Donna to look shocked while the students in the crowd are also surprised themselves) Listen here, you big Neanderthal! I’ve been chased by wild wolves, had boulders thrown at me and fought gladiators all night! So if you want a piece of me, let’s get it on!
Donna: (looks surprised while listening to Alex’s speech, and then grins) Hmm. For a bony runt, you’re pretty tough.
Alex: I am? I mean, you bet I am!
Donna: I didn’t know you had it in you. Guess you’re cooler than I thought. We’re gonna have to get you a ride.
Alex: We are? Cool!
Sam: Whoa! This place has everything but a mall.
Alex: She's got that crazy look in her eyes, like there's a half-off sale at the mall.
Clover: For being glamorous international spies, we spend an awful lot of time creeping through stinking sewers!
