History Recap / MurderDronesE5Home

''Zombie Drones'', a [=JCJenson=] training video on how to properly disassemble Worker Drones, is played at the start. The tape mentions that Drones which are not properly disassembled may end up rebooting themselves, with their AI becoming corrupted. Under a massive pile of decommissioned Drones, one of the Drones suddenly reboots.

Inside Elliot Manor's closed off library, N, as a butler, is reading to himself amidst several malfunctioning Worker Drones, including V. Several books fall down cryptically telling N to go into the mansion's basement, but he ignores it. Entering a bar, N is greeted by Cyn, an odd-behaving Worker Drone maid. Cyn asks N if she can attend the upcoming gala with him, and even though N knows Tessa's parents, their owners, would disapprove of it, he decides to ask Tessa if it would be alright for Cyn to attend.

As punishment, N is chained to a tree outside, where he is attacked by crows. One of the crows begins to violently contort before sprouting a purple iris, now controlled by Uzi. Uzi explains to N, who doesn't recognize her, that she is accessing his memories because something inside him is attempting to delete them, and instructs him to enter the basement. At the mansion, Tessa has been grounded and chained in her room along with J and Cyn. Cyn breaks free and ominously tells Tessa that she won't have to discard her Drones as she makes her way to the gala.

At the dining hall, Tessa's father James is about to do a speech when he is interrupted by Cyn. Tessa and J barge in to stop Cyn, but Cyn, telling Tessa that she didn't have to witness this, uses her Absolute Solver powers to take control of all the Drones in the dining hall, including J. As the guests are massacred, Eldritch Cyn is having trouble picking up a scalpel, so she brings in V to help. In the present, Uzi and Doll are fighting over the robot bug Uzi found at Camp 98.7. Noticing that N and V are malfunctioning, she gives Doll the bug.

* TheReveal: Cyn manifesting her Absolute Solver powers means that it already existed on Earth in the past and isn't from Copper 9. [[spoiler:"Dead End" would reveal that Earth is where the Absolute Solver ''came from'']].

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Doll really picked the worst time to fight Uzi for the bug, as the latter was busying hacking N and V to save their memories and [=OSes=] from being deleted by Cyn. She had to surrender the bug fast and even then, it was a very, very close call.

* Foreshadowing: When Tessa tries clanking a wine glass with J, her wrist ends up in pain despite the action supposedly being unpainful. Later in the episode, Tessa is locked in a room by her mother for disobeying her and her wrist for the hand she used to clank a glass is the one that is chained up and implying that this has happened to her before.

* BaitAndSwitch: At first we thought N was chained and getting tortured as punishment, but it turned out he was just laughing because the crows are pecking him which tickles him. Even playing fetch with them.

* BackFromTheDead: The tape at the beginning reveals that Worker Drones that aren't properly disassembled can recover from software death about 5 years later... shortly followed up by a shot revealing that a Worker Drone buried in the spire of corpses woke up despite having a hole in his visor.
