Quote

With Jack supervising, Lucy and Jules turn to extreme measures to excavate a shared memory that may contain clues to their past. Kira encounters Emily at a Darros Foundation event and discovers she may be more friend than foe.

Premiered today on Australian streaming service STAN.

It's a bit much to not only force pills on Jules, but they don't even know if there's legitimate side effects on a print out. Then let's go get ice cream. Read the room, lady. 

I think they need to get to why Kira either agreed to print out people or came up with the idea herself sooner than later. Last episode, Josh was kind of implying she went along with it in some capacity. It's also not clear Kira just printed Lucy and someone else printed Jules. She's only been focused on Lucy so far. Unless she assumes Jules is ok. 

Seemingly everyone knows sign language in the future. 

I also liked that Lucy and Jules tracked the house down so quickly. More shows need to not mess around and just let the plot unfold. They're doing a good job on the pace and keeping up with the world building. They certainly unraveled a lot of information. 

I knew Wes was going to cave. I was hoping he'd hold out a little.

I'm always surprised by the coldness of some characters, and there are certainly many here. The psychiatrist and the mom especially bother me, not because they're women but because they feign being nurturing. If you're evil you're evil, but to feign caring and love and yet actually be that cold - just really bothers me. In this case, maybe they don't see the printouts as humans, but how does that line not become blurred in those roles if they're not absolute monsters? Maybe that's the answer right there - they are monsters. The men are more removed and detached, so lack of connection doesn't feel as worrisome. Well, Jules' foster father is closer, but he hasn't exactly been nurturing.

I'm hoping this comes up in the next ep since Kira said she'd tell Jules all.

I think the mom wasn't actually feigning. She seems genuine to me but just misguided there. I'm guessing she adopted Jules under false pretenses; doesn't know she's printed. The grandfather was supposed to be Jules' grandfather not the mom's (Ellie? I forgot the name). So the mom isn't going to know he's a fake. 

The whole cover story about the accident from the psychiatrist could have been sold to the mom too. They already adopted Wes, so for all the know, they went through the same process to adopt Jules. 

Coming in to offer the ice cream seemed tone deaf but also seemed like a weak attempt to make up for forcing the pills on her too. Not anything to do with the whole printing deal.
