Recap

Jem and the Holograms and Rio arrive in China to perform at a concert at the Great Wall. Rio is disappointed Jerrica was unable to come along with the group. The Misfits and Eric Raymond are also on the same flight and plotting to find a way to perform instead of the Holograms. When the plane lands everyone goes through security where the Jem star earrings set off the metal detectors. The security guard demands Jem take off the earrings but Jem refuses. An ambassador shows up and tells the security guard that Jem is a guest of the Chinese government and there is nothing to worry about. Pizazz notices the whole thing and realizes that earrings must be very important if Jem wouldn't take them off for security. The Holograms are relaxing in the pool and Jem decides to take off her earrings in case the water where to cause them to short circuit. Roxy is lurking nearby and grabs the earrings and takes off. Jem gets out of the pool and suddenly turns into Jerrica. Jerrica realizes that the earrings are gone and if they don't find them soon they will have to cancel the concert. The Holograms tell the Chinese officials that Jem might not be able to perform and they are not to happy to hear the news. The Misfits offer to perform instead and Aja notices that they are wearing identical Jem star earrings. The Holograms chase down The Misfits and they end up on a train where The Misfits throw the earrings out different windows. The earrings end up in various people hands including a jewelry manufacture who has started making copies. The Holograms track down the manufacture and he agrees to give them the original copy he found but they turn out to be one of the fakes. The Holograms decide to do some site seeing before they give the bad news to the Chinese officials and they see the earrings in an exhibit for jewelry from the Ming Dynasty. Jerrica grabs the earrings and the alarms go off. A curator shows up and realizes the earrings where made in this century so they cannot be part of the Ming Dynasty and allows Jerrica to keep them. Once again the earrings turn out to be a fake and the Holograms have lost all hope. They show up at the concert venue to break the bad news when they see a young girl fighting off a guy who wants her earrings. Jerrica sees they are Jem star earrings but assumes they are one of the fake copies. The young girl introduces herself as Lin and a big Jem and the Holograms fan. Lin is upset to hear Jem won't be able to perform and gives her earrings to Jerrica to give to Jem for good luck. Suddenly, Jerrica hears Synergy and turns back into Jem and they are able to perform at the concert. Once on stage, Jem dedicates the song to Lin and after the concert Jem gives Lin a new pair of Jem star earrings...
