3	----
4	!!Round 2 of''We Could Be'' provides examples of:
5	* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Happens to the entire cast after the final trial, when they break free of the All-Consuming End and gain complete control over the environment within the supercomputer.]]
6	* BittersweetEnding: While the survivors manage to win and [[spoiler:the dead are revived, they all learn to their horror that they're actually digital duplicates and have no way to return to their homeworlds and their old lives, and they'd be replacing the ''real'' them if they did. Sure, they end up as all-powerful overlords of a digital universe they can shape into whatever world they want, but that still feels like a hollow consolation prize, and the cast is still haunted by the unreality of what they were fighting to go back to.]]
7	* CanonCharacterAllAlong: The beast in the execution pit, AKA [[spoiler:the All-Consuming End]], is actually [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/PacMan Pac-Man]]]].
8	* FauxHorrific: Mayhem is horrified when Michael mentions that the Good Place has only frozen yogurt and not ice cream. [[spoiler:Turns out that she's right to be, because it actually ''is'' the Bad Place.]]
9	* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Just like round 1, at least one kid ends up dying in each case.]]
10	* FlashSideways: Occasionally, instead of regaining their lost memories, characters regain what seem to be memories of an alternate timeline with the same cast. [[spoiler:It turns out that the game's been repeating for far longer than any of them imagined.]]
11	* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:The climax of the final trial involves doing this to bring all the dead back to themselves, VideoGame/{{Undertale}}-style.]]
12	* TheMole: [[spoiler:Yuri]] is one to make sure [=HuBERT=] doesn't get too friendly with the cast, while [[spoiler:Saul]] is spying on the rest of the cast in general. [[spoiler:In one previous timeline, Scott was also a spy for the captors.]]
13	* {{Polyamory}}: Surolam, Luca, and Yuri form an official triad, with Yuri also having a thing with Niles, who similarly has a thing with Jasper. Surolam herself flirts with [=HuBERT=] quite a bit, and also has lovers back home.
14	* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:Invoked by Shiki and Surolam in the confrontation with the Lost Souls to bring their lovers back to themselves.]]
15	* ThrowingOffTheDisability: [[spoiler:In the ending, after gaining full control over the supercomputer, Luca fixes his migraines and memory loss issues, though he doesn't regain his old memories. [[DefiedTrope Defied]] by Surolam, who keeps her blindness and simply gives herself back her transformation powers.]]
16	* TimeLoopTrap: [[spoiler:The final trial reveals that the game has been repeating for much longer than anyone would have imagined, though this is the first time characters have regained memories of previous games.]]
17	* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:The final investigation reveals videos of the cast still living their lives in their original worlds. It's then revealed that the entire cast is digital clones of their original versions, stuck in a giant supercomputer. Some people take it better than others.]]
18	* WhamEpisode: The ultimate, final confrontation/trial could be considered this. [[spoiler:Especially since survivors and those dead learn that they're digital copies and afterwards that the universe ended up meshing into a supercomputer, which they now could control like gods. Phew.]]
