The Tribe

When Amber and Dal find Cloe wandering the streets, they have her take them to her companions Salene, Patsy, Paul and their dog Bob.

A mysterious figure watches the group at the mall as Amber informs Dal that they can't abandon the others.

Bray explains that he has been spying on the tribe to make sure the mall is a safe place to bring Trudy to have her baby - but should she be allowed to stay?

Bray and Trudy have been voted out of the tribe, but it seems that Trudy's contractions have started, prompting Lex to suspect a con.

Bray still hasn't returned, and Trudy continues to be ill, preventing her from feeding the newborn baby and prompting Dal to make the dangerous trek to his father's surgery at the abandoned hospital for antibiotics.

Trudy's illness has worsened, and Bray's persistent disappearances are increasingly aggravating the rest of the group.

Salene is fed up with the lack of respect for the chore assignments around the mall.

Upon learning that he's the father of Trudy's baby, Zoot is strongly encouraged by Bray to give up his leadership of the Locos.

Unexpected "guests" have been found in the mall, prompting a new method for assigning chores - now, if only the various tribe members can adhere to their assignments.

The tribe holds an election to determine their leader, choosing between Amber and Lex.

It's up to Lex to get Jack off the hook for hiding food from the rest of the tribe - otherwise, Lex's own secret supply of water may be revealed as well.

Frightened by ghastly sounds coming from beneath the mall, the guys accompany Lex into the sewers to investigate - that is, all but Bray, who seems to know what the others are after.

Despite having won the election, Lex appears to be losing his war against Amber as the boys begin to help the girls with their assignments, and he takes it out on Bluebell.

With Cloe missing from the night before, Lex organizes a search party, but unfortunately they're headed in the wrong direction.

While in danger of being caught by the Locos in the forest, Cloe is rescued by a mysterious girl named Tai-San.

Bray's been captured by the Locos, and their new leader, Ebony, wants to know everything he has to tell about Zoot's whereabouts.

Much to Zandra's chagrin and Lex's relief, the wedding is interrupted when Ebony is discovered within the mall and imprisoned by the tribe members.

Following her encounter with Lex, Ebony escapes the mall, leaving the Mallrats to wonder if they're safe in staying.

As the Mallrats prepare for the impending attack on the mall by the Locos, Bray sets Ebony straight with the truth about Zoot's mysterious disappearance and comes to an agreement with the Locos' new leader.

Trudy decides to take her depression into her own hands by downing a bunch of sleeping pills and is discovered by Salene, who chooses to do nothing about it.

Tensions are high within the Mallrats. Trudy has woken from her self-imposed slumber, becomes confrontational with Amber and gives Bray the silent treatment.

Fed up with the tribe, Trudy and Dal have left the mall, leaving only a note behind.

Tai-San continues to elude Lex's affections the morning after their trysts, much to Lex's confusion and frustration. Meanwhile, Ryan has romantic -- though odd -- dreams about Zandra.

Thinking it will land him more late-night encounters, Lex encourages Tai-San to teach him the ways of spiritual awakenings.

The Nomads have decided against Dal's leaving the tribe and have taken him prisoner. Sasha's attempt to release him lands him in custody as well -- but what do the Nomads have in store for their prisoners?

Dal and Sasha work out a plan of escape from the Nomads. Back with the Mall Rats, Zandra's anger and distrust of Tai-San goes on, prompting her to assign Lex a true test of his loyalty.

Most of the tribe head to the gathering at the beach. Meanwhile, Salene, Patsy and Trudy remain at the Mall and encounter troubles of their own.

The tribal gathering goes horribly awry, with Lex meeting an old foe and the gang getting on the wrong side of Ebony. Meanwhile, at the Mall, Salene confesses all to Trudy.

Food continues to go missing from the supply, and though Trudy has forgiven Salene the wrongdoing, she encourages her to come clean to the rest of the group.

A lot more food has gone missing, and people are starting to notice. Sasha is becoming more and more a favorite among the Mall Rats, including Amber. Bray, however, isn't nearly as keen on Sasha's presence.

Sasha leads a group to trade with another tribe living at a nearby farm. But despite Bray's warning to leave the mall after the wedding ceremony, Sasha finds himself getting even closer with Amber.

The mall is hopping with everyone working on the upcoming wedding of Zandra and Lex.

Lex and Zandra celebrate their honeymoon away from the others, while Amber and Sasha spend their own time away.

With the place in complete disarray, Trudy is becoming increasingly frustrated with being the only person who works around the mall. Jack wants to become more mobile and enlists Dal and KC to help make it happen.

Ryan and Salene become considerably closer as he helps her escape her newfound prison and she entrusts her secrets with him. Having decided to leave the tribe, Amber and Sasha return to the mall to find the gang in shambles.

Sasha's departure has left Amber depressed and unable to let go, leading to further power struggles with Lex.

Jack believes he's made a discovery that could potentially change the lives of everyone: an adult wandering the streets!

Patsy has come face-to-face with the mysterious adult wandering about and convinces him to come back to the mall in hopes that he'll help restore order and hope to the group.

What was once believed to be a blessing becomes the Mall Rats' worst nightmare when it's discovered that the mysterious old man seen wandering the streets is actually Glen, who now has the virus and has begun rapidly aging.

The Tribe have to act quickly if they want to save the rapidly ageing Glen, and indeed their own lives. Desperate for more information, Amber, Bray and KC set off for what was the Ministry of Health whilst the unlikely duo of Dal and Lex team up to search old newspaper offices.

The Tribe cremate the recently deceased Glen in the wasteland of the city. Tai San wishes for him to break the karmic chain of suffering and be reabsorbed into the universal consciousness; Patsy just wishes she’d never met him.

Inside the Hope Island Research Laboratory, the Tribe’s violation of top-secret computer files has triggered a complete facility shutdown. They’re trapped! KC misspends his youth, and Jack’s stolen batteries in a sleazy gambling den run by a bad news gang called Tribe Circus.

Dawn breaks... At the gambling den KC other-wise known as “The Kid” - is on a winning streak. But he’s only just begun ... Porky will have to wait! Inside the Mall, Lex is terrified by the prospect of accelerated old age, but there’s no way he’s taking that antidote he knows where it came from. KC’s lucky streak’s over. Porky’s bacon!

Lex awakens in the city. Determined to follow Tai San’s holistic cure and rid himself of the dreaded virus, he is a changed man honest, courageous, and compassionate. Despite the danger, Lex sets off to find, and rescue, KC.

The Mall Rats ready themselves for the Tribe Circus invasion. Whilst Cloe and Patsy, safe in the lift with the animals, fume at their own helplessness, Amber rabble-rouses the rest of the Tribe the Mall Rats are going to win! Aren’t they? Lex, a prisoner of the Locos, pleads with Ebony to save his friends, but she doesn’t think his newfound S.N.A.G.iness suits him.

The caged Tribe watch the flickering flames surrounding them there’s no way out! Lex isn’t the only one alarmed by his rapid ageing - the Loco guards are terrified ... Using his aged look to his advantage, Lex wards off the enemy long enough to negotiate a deal with Ebony.

Patsy and Cloe try to rescue Clara from the lift shaft, but Amber insists there are more important things to life than poultry like blaming KC for the invasion, and saving her be-loved Bray. So is the Tribe too chicken to save her true love? There is a glimmer of hope.

Lex, having been thrown out of the Loco HQ to die, narrowly avoids capture at the well-protected hands of the anti-virus snatch squad. Back at the Loco HQ, Ebony tries to convince Bray that beneath the tough veneer she is all tenderness and sensitivity all she wants is one more chance...

“The virus is spreading again; we’re about to starve. Another day in paradise.” Amber, in finding the Tribe’s situation well-nigh unbearable, is becoming well-nigh unbearable herself. Looks like yet another case of the highly-contagious Bray Blues. Jack confides in Dal the code has been staring him in the face all along. Just one more step ...

After much debate the Tribe decide to leave their Mall and trek a hundred miles to Eagle Mountain. But if the Tribe leave, what will become of Bray? Ebony is infuriated by her stupid henchmen. Bray witnesses a few problems within the Loco ranks. KC tells Lex of Zandra’s narrow escape from Top Hat. Lex is livid.

Lex is determined the Tribe should stand their ground against the stone-wielding rural gang, despite being well outnumbered. The rustics advance, and the Mall Rats are rescued in the nick of time by a guardian angel ... in the angelic but unlikely form of Ebony. Bray’s taken aback by Amber’s hostility. He assures her that nothing happened between he and Ebony, but Amber’s not buying it.
