Plot
The episode begins with slight recap on what has happened in the New Fred arc so far-- going from the first appearance of New Fred, to viewers' negative reception of him, to Yuksung Corp.'s announcement of the Fred channel acquisition, which then culminates into the reveal that Fred has been trapped in a cage by the company. Creator Lucas Cruikshank finds out from his ZipIt and promptly flies to Korea to rescue him.

Lucas wanders through Korea in search of him, but to no avail. Meanwhile, New Fred is wrapping up a photoshoot as the Yuksung creative director, his father, watches on in approval.

New Fred has doubts about his role in being the new face of Fred, though the director is unconcerned. They then enter a secured room to check on the imprisoned Fred.

Fred insults the director, leading him to call forth Claudio, revealed to be working with Yuksung, to bring him to order.

The episode ends with the director saying he has special plans for Fred soon.
