Bunch that Ice Cube didn't deserve having headphones placed on her and wants them to pay for it. While FreeSmart keeps getting repeatedly dunked underwater because of Evil Leafy, Ice Cube starts to say "I want-", but is cut off by Pencil, who assumes she's gonna predictably say she wants revenge. Ice Cube speaks up and says she wants to be listened to, shocking Pencil. Ice Cube ends up saving everyone with the balloons and plays music from her headphones.

In "Catch These Hands", she tells Ice Cube she no longer thinks she's garbage compared to Match but still values her less than her other alliance members.
