A HEART FOR FALSEHOOD FRAMED
Dylan and the crew are trying to resolve a feud between one Mayor Miskich of Pierpont Drift and one Than general Clarion (the names go on after this). The Than general accuses the Mayor of stealing a priceless crystal - Hegemon's Heart from Than.
The situation threatens to escalate in a small scale war if negotiations don't go to plan. Dylan tells Beka, Trance and Harper to steal the crystal and replace it with a fake - just in case.
Beka runs into the resident cop, a handsome bloke and former thief Leydon, previously known as Schröödinger's Cat who is now working as Miskich's head of security obviously gonna get it on with Beka.
Thanks to Harper's genius, Trance's patience and Beka's flirtatious powers (She organises a date with Leyden to 'distract' him.) the trio manage to steal the crystal successfully and replace it with a fake one.
The situation is seemingly resolved - but no. Beka realises they have to swap crystals once again. The team discover the Heart is another fake - so where is the real one?
While all the thieving and deception is going on, Beka falls for the ex-thief cop. (See where this is going?) She sleeps with him so she can search for the real crystal when he's asleep. Yeah, sure. But he wakes up. Both of them think the other is the thief.
In a confrontation between the general, the cop, Beka, the Mayor and Dylan, Beka exposes Leydon as the real thief when he drops her right in it. The real crystal is back with it's rightful owner, Bug Lady. And they all lived happily ever after. Oh, and Beka is heartbroken.
