Maxine blackmails Barbie to fight against his rival Victor in her club where people gamble food and drinks. She wants to control Chester's Mill and is using her underground bar to slowly take over the town. Meanwhile Big Jim takes his boat and goes to the island where he expects to find Maxine's secret and he meets the house's caretaker Agatha. Soon she threatens him with a gun and tells that she is Maxine's mother and they seek revenge against Chester's Mills since she was humiliated when she was young. She also discloses Barbie's secret. However Big Jim takes her gun and ties up her hand. He takes Agatha to his boat but she slips and falls into the water and Big Jim Lets her die drowned in the water. Julia discovers an insurance policy and that her husband forced Barbie to kill him to benefit her. The snoopy Dodee finds the mini-dome in the barn and touches it, but she has a shock and faints. Joe, Norrie and Angie discover take her to the hospital, and Angie discovers the owner of the fourth hand.

"Let the Games Begin" is one of the best episodes of this series. Big Jim is revealing how evil he is and now he knows Barbie's secret. Julia also finds the truth about Barbie. The unstable Junior is now one important character despite his lack of personality. Maxine is now powerful and she will probably revenge the death of her mother. My vote is eight.

Warning: Spoilers
How convenient is it that after Dodee touches the mini-dome that she not only forgets what happened but also comes up with her own story about it and ties the whole incident up in a neat little bow! LOL. It's also odd how soon after her introduction, Max has created an underground fight club where people can place bets with items they need to survive? In a small town where everyone knows each other? And people are coming from all over town to give away their food, water and other supplies in order to participate in what is basically a food lottery?! Some of the writing in this series is just so bad and lazy that it's just funny. The Barbie-Julia-Peter arc was decent writing, however.
