(You know, the closer I get to the end of this the more anxious I get. I am no where near mentally prepared for where this is going. On the other hand I'm extremely proud of myself for seeing this all the way through. I know the time between chapters can be a bit of a pain but I promise you I will not stop until every episode has been reacted to.)

_______________________________________________________________

Sara appears again once everyone has settled back into their seats.

"Okay ladies, bro's and non binary hoes, we have two new folks joining the party." She says. The usual flash of light and a middle aged man and a teenaged girl pull themselves off the floor.

"Introduce yourselves, grab a seat and we'll start the first episode of the fourth season. For better or for worse, we're in the home stretch now." Sara says and vanishes.

"Well I'm Xifeng, and this is my father." The girl says.

"My name is Huang Li. Please call my Huang." He says. The two sit so Huang is between CK and Xifeng, and she's between her father and Sonia.

The screen lights up and the episode begins.

(Opening)

(Orchestra music plays and we see Gray working.)

Gray groans having a pretty good feeling about where this is going after the final scene of the last episode.

Gray: And it's another rocking night at the opera.

Agent: Graham Calloway?

"This is not going to end well." Player says.

"Does it ever when ACME sticks their noses where they shouldn't?" Ivy asks.

Gray: Before I answer that, mates, I'll need to see some wristbands.

Agent: Come with us.

"Just leave him alone, he doesn't actually know anything." Antonio says. Nobody is looking at the pair in the back so they miss Zari's eyeroll.

(Lightning flashes over a shot of VILE HQ)

"Oh great, the other pains in the butt." Carmen says.

Roundabout: Gunnar, ol' chum. Is this absolutely necessary? Unlike Neal the Eel, I was never actually taken into custody. Thanks to these fine fellows.

Maelstrom: A technicality. You know the rules, Roundabout.

"Oh great, more memory wiping." Gray huffs. Carmen rubs his back and he wraps his arms around her.

Roundabout: Failure is forgivable, capture is not. Yes, yes. But, tinkering with my memories?

Maelstrom: You can not incriminate VILE if you do not remember us.

Gray flips off the screen making Player snort.

Roundabout: But I've heard that Crackle fellow I once sprung from jail has gone soft. Lost his edge!

Maelstrom: Suppressing the criminal impulse ensures no unexpected relapses.

"Would it be possible for a relapse?" Jules asks looking at Shadowsan.

"I am unaware of the permanency of Dr. Bellum's tinkering. However I would assume with the proper stimuli one could regain their memories." He tells her. Gray and Carmen look at each other wondering if that could possibly happen at some point in this season.

Roundabout: Even though I have other smashing capers in play? Our gold initiative in Beijing is prepped, I merely need to assign another operative!
