== Plot ==
The episode opens with a series of vingettes of puke city, eventually focusing on a writhing Ynce Iche and posing the question, "What is Ynce Ice"http://lamezone.net/cco/CROW%20CILLERS%20SEASON%20ONE/files/02/files/pages/01.html. We then cut to Doris waking up early at a sleepover and deciding to lie in bed awake. Marcus is then shown desperately trying to attract the attention of Ynce Iche as a child in a crow mask is seemingly incapacitated by its gaze. Upon seeing the bleeding body of the child on the floor, Marcus remains undaunted and asks for the Crow to send another one in. 
Cortney and Emma are seen attempting to understand a number they found in Miss Corvidae's notebook, remarking on it being too long to be a normal phone number. Doris interjects and tells them that it is a school number you can call on the schools phone system. When the group remarks on Doris' clue-solving abilities, she explains her acumen by revealing that she is in a ton of extracurriculars. This is intercut by a snippet from an episode of XYZBORGZ, where the group remedies their internal tensions through becoming mechatized and fighting the XYZBORGZ, "XYZBORGZ will be back after these messages"http://lamezone.net/cco/CROW%20CILLERS%20SEASON%20ONE/files/02/files/pages/06.html
Cortney, Doris, That Kid, and Emma discover the room mentioned in Miss Corvidae's notebook and speculate as to what might be inside it. Emma plans on breaking in later that night after googling lockpicking on her phone. The others protest, pointing out the security cameras around the school; however, Emma seems to have a way to get around this obstacle, asking Cortney if she can borrow something. We are then introduced to Elaine for the first time, she is mid Ynce-interface and imagines herself on a bus from her hometown in clothes she used to wear. She has a dialogue with Marcus, who tries to coach her through the experience. After passing through distorted facsimilies of various architecture, she encounters a window which she is unable to fully reach. Marcus stops the experiment and commends Elaine for her efforts.
Cortney and Doris are talking about Ynce Iche, with Doris questioning the idea that, "You just have to see it"http://lamezone.net/cco/CROW%20CILLERS%20SEASON%20ONE/files/02/files/pages/09.html to understand Ynce Iche. Cortney proposes they go on a mission to find out more, with Doris mildly upset, wondering if she's on B team again. Cortney quells this gripe by explaining that Emma is on a solo mission, making them A team.
We are introduced to y2crittler, an office working crittler with an antagonistic relationship with his boss, through a series of dilbert style mini-comics called Office Crittlers. Emma's solo plan is revealed, with her having worn a Crow mask to stay anonymous during her break in. This plan is brought to a halt however, when Marcus finds her and mistakes her for a member of the crow. Cortney takes Doris and That Kid to her Mom's now empty house, with the two remarking on the size of the place, the woods around it, and the excess of video game consoles. Their excitement is contrasted by Cortney's melancholy at returning home. Emma manages to get out of trouble by claiming to be an overeager volunteer, a notion that impresses Marcus. He asks for Emma's name and in a panic she replies "Lisa"http://lamezone.net/cco/CROW%20CILLERS%20SEASON%20ONE/files/02/files/pages/13.html . Marcus remarks on her passion and tells her to come back on saturday, claiming he will find something for her to do.
We are shown more strips of Office Crittlers. Cortney goes into her mom's room, finding a spiral notebook and noticing that her face has been torn out of the family photo hanging on the wall. Elaine and Marcus have another session with Ynce Iche. Marcus talks Elaine through interfacing in a manner resembling hypnosis. Elaine tries to see through the window, but becomes distracted by an insatiable lust toward an avatar of Ynce Iche that takes the form of a woman with a distorted face. Marcus stops the session immediately when Elaine starts masturbating and has her taken away. Looking through the window, he remarks that they were having better luck using children.
Cortney interrupts Doris and That Kid's Pokemon debate in the pool with news of her mom's journal. They ask if it mentions Ynce Iche and Cortney replies that it doesn't; however, the journal seems to indicate that they should investigate the woods behind the house. While playing Gex, the group discusses their findings, coming to the conclusion that they should assume the whole school is a part of the Crow. More y2crittler comics revolving around chauvanism and dilbertisms, with dilbert being directly named in one of the strips. 
We cut to saturday, where Marcus compliments Emma's Dog Cop shirt, reccomending a similar show called XYZBORGZ. Marcus describes the plot of the show, parlaying the synopsis into a metaphor for the current state of the Crow, revealing that he wishes to reform the Crow from the inside. He then asks Emma, "My brother... have you ever heard the name 'Ynce Iche'?". Years ago, Jill, Elaine, and a drummer are in a band, with clear romantic tension manifesting between Elaine and the Drummer. Elaine bangs on the window of the Ynce-Room, demmanding it look at her. While watching XYZBORGZ, Emma gets a call from her mom, they briefly discuss dinner until Emma reluctantly asks if she is a part of the crow. She responds with ignorance, thinking that Emma is talking about one of her TV shows.
