Look, this was high-stakes and adventurous, I liked how the relationships between characters became more defined, and I do like the larger GLOVE vs. Disciples plot line, but this is getting knocked down a full star for killing off Lucy as easy character development for a mediocre boy and resolving the love triangle in Laura's favor... like it was actually really interesting how Laura and Otto bonded over a more innocent and sincere love of computers and tech but Lucy and Otto bonded over the shared trauma of being born into potentially evil or corruptible capacities you're not sure you actually want, and for Lucy's actually complex character and arc to be killed off in service of the main character's self-growth and virtually nothing else! The misogyny! Ugh!
