Summary

Kai’s android, Nansi, holds state’s secrets and cannot be entrusted to just anyone to fix, but when the royal mechanics are unable to fix her, Kai seeks out the best mechanic in New Beijing. While under disguise, Prince Kaito sneaks into the market to visit the renowned mechanic Lihn Cinder. Kai is surprised to find that the mechanic isn’t an old man, as he had assumed, but a beautiful girl his own age. 

Kai is instantly charmed by her lack of swooning (que the I’m not like other girls <3) and intrigued by her other projects, including a tiny cyborg foot. When Cinder promises to fix Nansi, Kai realizes he will have to leave the android behind, but it also gives him an excuse to visit the young mechanic again.

The Little Android Summary

Mech 6.0 is an android who is quite different from the rest… She is experiencing romantic feelings for one of the hardware engineers called Dataran. When he has an accident and falls in a tank full of oil, Mech 6.0 is determined to save him even if it destroys her metal body… And Dataran survives thanks to her help. Mech 6.0 is taken away to her mechanics where they discover a glitch in her programming that makes her unstable. They want to shut her down, but Mech 6.0 doesn’t agree and decides to escape. It seems like she has done the impossible and fallen in love.

It is soon after that she manages to cross paths with renown mechanic, Linh Cinder, who though she is unable to fix Mech6.0, is able to install her personality chip into a new body. The only catch is that this new body, that of an escort droid, has no voice.

Mech6.0, now known as Star, is able to return to her hanger and is now seen as a person rather than a piece of technology. The tension climaxes as Star confronts her limits. She realizes that her existence may mean sacrificing her happiness for Dataran’s and she chooses sacrificing, ending her time on Earth with an eternity among the stars.

"And, while Cinderella and her prince *did* live happily ever after, the point, gentlemen, is that they lived," (Ever After, 1998).

Join Becca and I for a special request episode where we discuss Becca's favorite Cinderella Retelling: Ever After!

Synopsis:

Andy Tennant directed this Cinderella variant. The Brothers Grimm arrive at the home of a wealthy Grande Dame (Jeanne Moreau) who speaks of the many legends surrounding the fable of the cinder girl before telling the "true" story of her ancestor.

In flashback, the story then focuses on eight-year-old Danielle, daughter of a wealthy widower, a 16th-century landowner. After returning to France with his new wife Rodmilla (Anjelica Huston) and her two daughters, he dies of a heart attack.

Ten years later, Danielle (Drew Barrymore) is now treated as a servant by the trio. Fortunately, she has an encounter with Prince Henry (Dougray Scott), who is fleeing an arranged marriage.

Later, when Danielle poses as a Lady, the Prince takes an interest in her. Inventor-artist Leonardo Da Vinci (Patrick Godfrey), accepting the French court's patronage, offers advice to Prince Henry on matters of the heart.

*Chapter Discussion Start Time 18:21: listen for the musical interlude to know the time

In this week’s chapters:

PART ONE

Summary

Cress is pulled out of suspensions after recovering from her injuries during the final showdown with Levana. Though many have come to visit her, Thorne is not one of them and no one has given her updates about him.

But when she arrives at her new suite, Thorne is the first person to knock on her door. A fresh haircut and clean jaw, he is starting to look like the Thorne from his cadet photos online. He comes to Cress, hat in hand, with an apology, a plan, and a hope for their future together. But it’s up to Cress where she wants her life to go next.
