However, things don't go as planned, and they end up revealing themselves to the head of the studio, Jack Hurley. Hurley is impressed by their skills and offers them a job at the studio. Even though they are not interested in working for the studio, the team decides to take up the offer to get inside information about the studio's wrongdoing.

Once inside, the team discovers that Echolls Studios is not just stealing Blaise's work but also illegally streaming other artists' work on their website. They also find out about a secret project the studio is working on, which could change the face of the television industry.

The team decides to take action and steal the project's blueprints from the studio before it's too late. However, they have to navigate through tight security and several obstacles, including a malfunctioning elevator and an impromptu meeting with the studio's CEO.

The studio job culminates in a high-octane sequence where the team uses their individual skills to battle against Hurley and his goons. The episode wraps up with the team accomplishing their goal and walking away with a win, albeit with some injuries.
