All confidence in herself gone, Katherine feels she can't go on. Blister Bikes offer Kyle and Seth a dream contract for their gearing system. The boys are ecstatic.

As a result they realise that their gearing system is not part of any forthcoming Blister product releases. Their dreams come crashing down.
