The Strange Green Horse

The Strange Green Horse is the 15th episode of Season 3 of California City Show and the 103rd episode of the entire series overall. It premiered on CCTV Network on April 14, 2020.

Synopsis
Lamar is summoned by Tyler to investigate a trojan horse that created a back door on his friend's computer and they need to remove it as soon as possible. Upon logging on, they discover that it had Caltrose25V5 randomly installed on it after Tyler's friend's computer. It is up to them to remove it in order for him to play the game again.

When Lamar tries to log on to the computer, an anthropomorphic version of the virus jumps out of the computer and scares him and Tyler while they stand. This anthropomorphic version of the malware is depicted as rude, menacing, and malicious, and has no concept of personal space whatsoever, as he likes to intentionally annoy others for no reason, and even goes as far as to build himself a truck for himself to drive and speed off.

He eventually comes across Jana and starts humiliating her, causing her to run away crying. She eventually finds Lamar and Tyler and asks if she can ride with him to stop him. Meanwhile
