Description (Plot)
"Hey, I'm Lee Ping and I'm trying to stop an evil council from unlocking a mystical pyramid under my school, stop me if you have heard this one. Supposedly the pyramid will only open with two keys, they have one and I have the other. Lynch tried to get mine but The Council kind of busted up our little meeting. That's cause my room had been bugged, and that's how they found where I was hiding my key! So, they sent some ninja dude to come swipe it. They tried again with both keys but one of The Council members got sapped! Then the treats, give up my routes down to the tunnels or else. But I have one ace left up my sleeve. Tina and Jenny have been decoding a book that may explain how to open the pyramid correctly. And get this, it used to belong to Finnwich!"

Meanwhile at the fair grounds while Lee is still looking for the girls he is soon attacked by Steam-Mats and is soon dropped down one of their elevators.

The Blackmailed group are saddened to learn that the black mailer has changed his email and his IP accounts, no way to track.

Picking up where the preview left off Lee discovers that Lynch Webber has taken the girls hostage.

Kimmie is having a relationship talk with Greta. She proposes that the both of Greta's crushes try out the "Hammer of Love" game to see who likes Greta more. Steve easily wins the contest but Biffy suggests a new challenge. Lynch meanwhile reveals the girls are dangling over a pit of old Green Apple Splat that's gone bad, and demands the Key or else he will drop them in. Lee however explains that he no longer has The key to The Pyramid.
 * 11:50 AM

The Amazing Finnwich comes in and saves the girls, explaining that he spoiled Lynch's antics because he's here to help him not screw with Lee. Finnwich explains that his relationship with Lynch is a mutually beneficial arrangement; he protects Lynch from the council and Lynch gives him the location of the Anticus Triangulum, which according to Tina is Latin for Ancient Triangle. Meanwhile back at Camillio's house the group has been talking for 20 minuets.

Deciding that the only thing the group seems to have in common is amazing muscles the group decides to widen their net. Reminded of their third grade teacher Mrs. Rosenbloom Camillio realizes they all had her as a teacher, with five people not being blackmailed, Irwin Dexter, LaGreenor Jonesones, Brad Von Chillstein, Suzie Elliott and Giuseppe Stern and figures that it's one of them.

Unfortunately they got four minuets until the dead line and thus they are forced to go through with the latest humiliation.

Finnwich agrees to guide the group to safety in exchange for the Pyramid's location, which is underneath the school and that The Council is after it. According to Finnwich in order to properly operate the pyramid they need the Manifestum Arcanus which evidently is The Book. Finnwich is shocked that the book survived the fire and that it's been unlocked, a bad sign that the time is near. Keeping the book Finnwich sends the group back to the surface on another elevator.
