While doing research for her history project, she stumbles across Realm of Doom, an online adventure game, where she meets Sir Excellence. The two play together habitually for a short time, even having their avatars make love, until Becky discovers that Sir Excellence is actually Hunter Hollingsworth, a grade 9 student at Degrassi. She immediately ends their relationship, which throws him into a fit of rage when he confronts her at school, in person. Hunter tells her that everything is "better online," and questions why she had to ruin it by being "a real girl," before asking for his virtual items back, and threatening to turn her avatar into a toad.
