Pot Limit
S4 E6: Pot Limit (GE33)
Summary
Z’s looking at every FaceTrace behavioral profile in Vale Four. That includes the Synthserv and it includes you. They’ve been seeding images to align with what everyone needs, every episode.
In the monitor room, June and Elle run the interconnect sequence with Ava in the primary chair. Elle and Ava get linked in a closed loop, Puppets Program Puppets.
It works, much too well. Elle is getting much more aligned than she ever expected. She doesn’t need a deus ex machina. She needs a deus against the machine. Fortunately for her, there’s someone around to do exactly that.
Cael returns to address a sparking outlet and unplugs the primary feed. The data stream goes dark. Meg ejects him from the room with volume and a vengeance.
The villains regroup in the Evil Eye. Tessa proposes confessional protocol: tell Ava the truth about June’s manipulation and show her the receipts. Her people pleasy tendency will do the rest. Z reminds the room of the stakes.
June, Elle, and Ava run a final preparation sequence in the monitor lab, using writing to coach Ava for testimony. Ava confirms she can do it. Then Tessa enters with Meg behind her, and the episode cuts before the full confrontation lands.
