At the center of Metropolis West lies Glasshouse—the shiniest and richest district in the city. And delivering to that district is Caine Reyes: hot-tempered, with a fast mouth and a faster car. With a jettisoned all-purpose bot at their side, they decide to make a quick getaway. Featuring grappling hooks, plasma knives, and figuring out just how to pronounce L0R-3NZ.
Running away from Celadon Carbonate's bots proves a little trickier than expected, so Caine and Su-jin make a quick getaway. Sort of. Featuring bad jokes about ray guns, muzak for robots, and an underground passage we totally knew was there. Honest.
Tensions are high as Zero Zero tries to find the spy. Nobody is above suspicion, and nobody is leaving until the truth is revealed. Featuring Caine’s first words to Jet, thoughts about being the middle child, and a lot of accusations being flung around.
Trigger warnings: Yelling, mild violence, deception, and discussion of an injury in depth (23:13).
The tension finally comes to a head when Caine’s scar is brought into question. Zero Zero breaks apart. Featuring a guy who can’t take rejection, heartfelt conversations, and Encyclopedia Su-jin-ica.
Trigger warnings: Yelling, mentions of abuse, discussion of medical procedures throughout the episode.

The Tollbooth has never felt more uninviting: suddenly desolate, scavenged under the heat of the irradiated sunlight. Caine and Jet return to retrieve the tracking module from Dax, but they’ll have to make it through the faulty building, the strange floorplans, and the Correctors stalking the halls to get it. Featuring old photographs, an elevator under maintenance, and an unknown video log.
Trigger warnings: Police violence/brutality (arrest mention, civil forfeiture, threats of violence), abandonment, family separation, yelling, loud crashing (18:35), gaslighting/abuse.

Caine thought they had lost their family. They accepted it, even though their questions about what exactly happened still lingered. Now the answers they get are far from what they expected. Caine needs to choose: the family they lost or the family that they’ve found in Zero Zero?
Trigger warnings: Police presence, police violence, discussions of abandonment, talk of suicide, explosions, weapons (knives and blasters), fighting, gaslighting, abuse, yelling, electrocution, and character death.

Before Caine discovered the truth about their family, before they joined Zero Zero with Jet, Zero Zero was nothing but a faint memory. And its members were living their own lives.
Years in the past... Vic Vass, Silver Gallo, and Nova are the terrors of Metropolis West, members of the most wanted gang in the entire city. The Berserkers are thick as thieves, closer than family. But today, they're chasing down one of their own whose decided to bail. 'Cause no one leaves the Berserkers... at least, not alive. Featuring console cowboys, extremely strong magnets, and dyeing your hair.
Trigger warnings: excessive violence (physical violence and burning), sadism, gaslighting/abuse, police, medical procedures, and suicidal ideation. Low oscillating frequencies at 26:36 - 28:01 and a high pitched noise at 28:24.

Years in the past... before Indra was Client 912, xe was just an Epsilon trying to save up enough cryptos to pay for xir lung surgery. But times are hard in the Metropolis and the new updates to IDs for Epsilons without a comms system make it tough to hold on to what little funds you have. Indra's tougher though. And xe's willing to hunt down an elusive hacker to survive another day. Featuring weeping ladies, feeeeelings, and bad weather.
Trigger warnings: Police presence, police brutality, medical talk, violence, being chased, implied drug/narcotic abuse (minor mention).

Years in the past... Su-jin Yi was best known for their art on the streets of Metropolis West. After dropping out from college, Su-jin's a little bit adrift. But their partner Mars has a proposition for them: meet Glasshouse's biggest gallery curator, get a show with him, and make it big. That is, if Su-jin can actually charm the guy. Featuring amateur figures, borrowing paints, and the favorite alcoholic beverage of the show's creator.
Trigger warnings: Alcohol mention/drinking. Some emotional manipulation of characters.

Friday, May 28, 2021 • Duration 36:50
Years in the past... Lola Sunn is gearing up for what's supposed to be the biggest presentation of her life. She's top of her class in the Prodigy program, the favorite of her director, and widely popular with her cohort. She's a woman who needs no introduction for the meteoric rise that she's had. But underneath everything, who really is the woman they call Lola Sunn? Featuring seaweed chips, "gal pals", and estranged family relationships.
Trigger warnings: Light medical talk around prosthetics, ableism, gaslighting, alcohol, a loud crashing sound (31:49), yelling.
