"Societies remain unchanged because human beings remain unchanged."

The cluster mourns Jonas's death. Capheus is approached by a political party and asked to stand as a candidate, but he turns them away. Sun returns to her trainer. Detective Mun also pays him a visit, telling him he wants to help Sun. Bug uses his contact with Anonymous to obtain an "E-death" kill switch which will erase all warrants and records of Nomi's existence. In exchange, the hacker, who is aware of both sensates and BPO, asks that Nomi owes them a favor. Whispers visits Will and tells him his actions are for the benefit of sensates and Angelica believed in his cause. Lito cannot find a script to his liking but the São Paulo Gay Pride Parade organizers offer him the role of grand marshal. Kala starts to become suspicious of Rajan's business practices but he tells her there is no cause for concern. Lila is looking to benefit from the war between Bohm and Fuchs. Wolfgang turns down her offer. Riley and the cluster, now aware that there are not alone, organize a massive rave in Amsterdam to draw the attention of other sensates. Cops sent by Whispers storm the place, but Will and Riley escape successfully.


Tropes present in this episode:

  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Whisper's reaction to Will accusing him of murdering Sara Patrell: "Who?"
  • Bury Your Gays: A prevalent trend in the scripts Lito gets post-coming out.
    Daniela: Lifelong bachelor, but at least he doesn't die from AIDS!
    Hernando: So he does die.
    Daniela: [sighs] Drug overdose.
  • Character as Himself: "The Guy" is portrayed by someone only credited as "The Guy"
  • Coincidental Broadcast: Sun's having a good meal with her teacher when a broadcast of Joong-ki being interviewed appears on the screen. She punches out the screen when he begs her to turn herself in.
  • Depraved Homosexual: Another recurring role being offered to Lito.
    Hernando: It's still a notch up from "serial killer who talks with a lisp and wears mascara".
    Lito: You think that's bad? Listen to this: "The Hispanic coke dealer is about to give another kind of blow job when he finally gets the bullet he deserves."
  • Fanboy: Bug denies the actual term but he's still a huge fan of Lito's work and is delighted when Nomi tells him that he's one of her cluster.
  • Precision F-Strike: While the show has never shyed away from cursing, The Old Man of Hoy's "Holy shit!" when he connects with Riley is one considering he's played by Sylvester McCoy who's spent most of his career in family-friendly roles.
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Bug, when explaining e-death.
    Amanita: Okay, can you stop with the pregnant pauses?
  • Title Drop: Wolfgang's line in support of Will's "No More Holding Back" Speech.
  • Typecasting: Discussed. Lito fears becoming typecast as the token homosexual.
