After getting stuck in a game, Matrix, the hardened and cynical warrior once known as Enzo, and AndrAIa have been wandering the net for a very long time, moving from system to system through the games, searching for a way back to Mainframe.

The mood of the show had grown considerably darker in the past few episodes, and without making with the spoilers, that darker mood is more or less cemented with this installment. I went from digging the animation, pop-culture references, and goofy jokes to actually following the soap-opera quality of the series with this episode. More pop-culture parody - adventure-style v-games, Xena, Braveheart, even a (terrible) pun on some famous Jack Nicholson movie dialogue. And AndrAIa becomes not only hot (shoot me), but to my way of thinking a terrific female role-model: When she gets in trouble from here on, she digs herself out - no male assistance required.
