Immediately suspecting alien holographic technology at work, Sarah orders Mr Smith to search the company records. They learn Joseph Samuel Serf disappeared several years ago after a presumably-fatal skiing accident. Deducing that Serf died in the accident and has long since been replaced, the gang consider whether the SerfBoard has any hypnotic properties to encourage buyers. While Mr Smith begins a deep scan of the device, Sarah phones Serf Systems to arrange an interview with Serf. Speaking to Mr Harrison, she drops enough hints about her suspicions to make the PR manager agree to a meeting immediately. Sarah knows she is walking into a trap, but needs to find out what is going on. She heads back to Serf Systems, leaving Rani and Clyde to supervise the SerfBoard. | Immediately suspecting alien holographic technology at work, Sarah orders Mr Smith to search the company records.

Sarah Jane and Sky return to Serf Systems and rejoin Luke, who has had no success with his snooping. Instructing her children to remain out of harm’s way, Sarah meets Harrison, who escorts her to Serf’s office but then refuses to leave. During the interview, Sarah tries every trick she knows to expose Serf. She notices the businessman refuses to shake her hand due to an “allergy”, and her deliberately-dropped pen is swiftly replaced with a new one from Harrison. | Sarah Jane and Sky return to Serf Systems and rejoin Luke, who has had no success with his snooping.

Back at the attic, Mr Smith informs Clyde and Rani the SerfBoard is just a standard, low-tech laptop. Still suspicious, the two don protective gear and prepare to activate the device — only to discover that, despite its attractive appearance and name, the board is rubbish. | Back at the attic, Mr Smith informs Clyde and Rani the SerfBoard is just a standard, low-tech laptop.
