Barko devises a game show to figure out which Kayla is the real one. Eventually it's revealed that Kayla built the Champion suit, and the fake Kayla is really Plagnor Zok, who came from Encounter's home planet to regain the pods for himself. The villain escapes, but Encounter finally tells Barko and Kayla that even he doesn't know where the pods are.
