Vision reunites with Tommy, but their relationship still has plenty of hurdles to overcome. Meanwhile, Ultron and Jocasta continue developing their partnership, and we finally learn more about what Jocasta has planned for humanity. Plus, an unexpected MCU villain makes a long-awaited return. Things are getting complicated as we head toward the final two episodes of the series.

Warning: Spoilers Below

Jocasta's Plans

The episode opens with Jocasta visiting the grave of Josephine Carrington. Meanwhile, Ultron searches for her through the digital world and eventually finds her. The two continue their unusual relationship, although it's clear they both have their own agendas. Jocasta wants the facial scan Ultron obtained from Katerina Wells, but Ultron reveals that he has integrated it into his own code. If she destroys him, she loses the scan as well.

Jocasta has another trick up her sleeve, however. She presents Ultron with a box containing memories, but when he attempts to open it, he is cut by its contents. He soon realizes that the box has infected him with a virus. Ultron manages to overcome the attack, much to Jocasta's surprise. He tells her that he wants to know more about her, and she responds by allowing him to experience her memories.

Meeting Paladin

Meanwhile, Tommy remains in Paladin's custody. The bounty hunter is working with the Ten Rings and has been instructed to deliver Vision to his mysterious client. Vision and Lisa track them down in Madripoor, where they attempt to negotiate Tommy's release. Paladin demands that Vision scan a mysterious code, but Vision refuses.

Things become more complicated when Paladin's AI assistant, Handler, is contacted by E.D.I.T.H. Handler is another AI who has become frustrated with her circumstances, and E.D.I.T.H. offers her a chance to escape. Handler accepts, leaving Paladin without his technological support.

Paladin tries another tactic by telling Tommy about Vision's past, including what happened in Westview. Vision eventually confronts Paladin about his own past, revealing that he disappeared during the Blip and abandoned his daughter. The conversation turns violent when Paladin pulls a weapon on Vision.

Raza Returns

Before the confrontation can escalate, armed men attack the cafe. Their leader is none other than Raza, the Ten Rings terrorist who abducted Tony Stark in the original Iron Man. Raza explains that his client wants Vision and is willing to use force to get him.

While Vision and Paladin fight off the attackers, Tommy and Lisa attempt to escape in Paladin's van. They discover that the explosive device Paladin claimed was implanted in Tommy's arm was a lie. Unfortunately, they end up trapped inside the vehicle until E.D.I.T.H. manages to help them escape.

The mysterious Client eventually takes over the screens throughout Madripoor and addresses Vision directly. He offers Vision something he desperately wants: a heart and soul to replace what he lost when he was brought back to life. However, Vision must surrender himself to get them.

As the battle with Raza and his men continues, E.D.I.T.H. manages to disable their signal jammer and regain control of the drones. Vision and Paladin fight their way through the attackers, and Tommy and Lisa eventually reunite with them.

Attacking Lisa

Jocasta's plans also become clear. She intends to use her nanotechnology to transform humanity into a shared consciousness under her control. Ultron initially seems intrigued by the idea, but he begins questioning whether this is really what he wants. Jocasta eventually arrives in Madripoor and targets Tommy with the nanite. Ultron intervenes, warning her not to hurt Vision's son. Jocasta instead infects Lisa, taking control of her body.

Tommy manages to stop Lisa, and the group escapes Madripoor in Paladin's van. During the journey, Tommy asks Vision about Westview. Vision finally tells him the truth about what happened, explaining that although he looks like the father Tommy remembers, he isn't necessarily the same person.

The episode ends with Ultron and Jocasta sharing a drink. Ultron initially struggles to understand the experience, but something changes when he takes a sip. The two then share a kiss, confirming that their relationship has developed into something much more personal.

Final Thoughts

This is the perfect transition episode following the character development we got in episode five. Now it's time for some action, and there's plenty of it. Paladin is proving to be a man with a code rather than an outright villain. He's really more of an antagonist because of his occupation than anything else. Raza brings another connection to the wider MCU, although it seems like he's only around for this one episode. That's a very comic-book thing to do!

With Jocasta's plans threatening humanity, the mysterious Client hunting Vision, and Lisa infected by the nanotechnology, there are plenty of problems left to resolve with only two episodes remaining.
