[OPENING]
(Scene opens to an outside view of the school)
(Balloon letters arranged to form “PROM 3071” in a large room, lights are shut off one by one.)
(In the hallway, the lights continue flickering as the screen changes to show four “Missing” posters”. A female Worker Drone pants, running down the hallway. She stops short to an unknown force that shatters her glasses. A nearby security camera is surrounded by a red glow and forcefully turns toward the wall.)
Doll: (Appears farther down the hall, the same red energy crackling through her fingertips. With one swipe, she yanks the Worker Drone’s arm from her body. Slowly approaching the Worker, she reveals a cleaver knife that shifts to a quantity of three. She tosses the cleaver knife towards the camera and the screen goes black.)
(Scene shifts to Doll’s room wherein two robotic bugs scutter across the floor. One attacks the other, but is soon squished by Doll as she enters the room.)
Doll: Opens her book bag and places holographic books onto a nearby bookshelf. She crosses a name off of a list of prom queen candidates - presumably the name of the Worker Drone whom she had previously dismembered at the beginning of the episode.)
Doll: Мам, Пап, я вернулась. (I'm back, Mom, Dad.)
(Screen fades to black again)

[Flashback to Heartbeat]
Uzi: What… are you things? (Camera shows a quick shot of N in previous episode)
[Back to present]
Text on Uzi’s face: SLEEP MODE [GUILT: ACTIVE]
(Uzi wakes up on the floor with piles of papers and books surrounding her. Camera pans to a large wall with an assortment of numerous documents, specifically the card that N’s apology card.)
[Uzi groans and transitions into a montage of her “guilt” being shown throughout the day]
Rebecca: (kicks Uzi as she opens her locker, causing her to drop a book) Yeah, meeting Brad in an hour.
Uzi: (throws a book towards the Worker Drone, which instead hits Braidon in the head by accident)
Rebecca: Can you imagine going to prom alone?
Trevor: Ha! (models finger puppets) I’d be all like, “I don’t deserve happiness.”
Uzi: (sighs)
(She spots the aforementioned board of missing drones and, cackling, grabs them to add to her billboard of murder-related documents, only to find that the documents had been earlier removed by her father, Khan.)
Khan: (shuffles through the papers and gently places them on a shelf, sighing)
Sign on the wall: NORI'S KOOKY INSANE STUFF
Khan: (closes door and walks away, whistling)
Uzi: (Crouched down, turns towards Khan) MY crazed ramblings! Stay out of my FREAKING ROOM!
Khan: (Reaches for her shoulder. Uzi isn't in the mood) Personal space for a very alarming coping mechanisms isn't covered under a... non-optional (reads from guide booklet) family support... structure!
Uzi: (swipes the booklet away) I'm sorry for being vulnerable for FIVE SECONDS, okay? You were never there for me. If you wanna help now, stay distant.
(Khan is let down by this statement)
Uzi: (exhales) I'm going to talk to N. (nearly trips over a frozen human skeleton) WwwhaAAt is this?
Khan: Prom dress! Child small! You're grounded from seeing those bad influencing murder drones.
Uzi: Eeeaah?
Khan: But I talked to your teacher to find you CLASSMATES to go with tonight!
Uzi: Huh?
(Door opens, revealing Lizzy and Doll)
Lizzy: 'Sup, freak. (camera pans close to their faces) Prepare to be popular.
Khan: (with a bowtie) I'm CHAPERONING!
Uzi: (protracted screaming)
----
(Scene switches to V and N back at the pod as V presents N with two human skeletons, still sporting formal attire)
N: Hmm I do want to be dapper. (hesitates) But NO! That's why you had me find these? (gestures towards skeletons) We can't interact with the workers anymore, V.
[flashback to previous episode where N reaches for Uzi, but she shrinks away from him]
N: We're too dangerous...
V: Uh, exactly. We show up fabulous. The sad purple one lets us in ,'cause she has no friends. We kill everyone and pop her little head off!
N: I'm not bringing you for PROM MURDER, V. J went holo, spooky snake crab and WE maybe grew up in a haunted mansion! Aren't you worried we have no idea what we even are?
V: (Pushes N away, turning towards the dashboard) ... Promise me you and that purple thing will stop prying into that stuff. (Gazes at a shattered mirror. N is considering) If you free me now, I promise we'll only kill what we need to survive. Just you and me, N.
(Both glance at a key laying on a nearby edge)
----
(The lights turn on in Doll's residence as Doll, Lizzy, and Uzi enter the room.)
Lizzy: Ugh, Doll, do you ever clean? (Kicks one of the robotic bugs)
Doll: Я повесила простынь. Они спят. (I put a sheet up. They're sleeping.)
Uzi: (Refrains from stepping on one of the bugs and glances up to the ceiling where it appears as though tiny red dots are floating around.) Hey, so, thanks for having me, but now that my dad thinks I'm here, I'm actually gonna- (starts walking towards the door, but it abruptly shuts)
Lizzy: You're hilarious. She's hilarious. You should get ready! You're gonna look so cute - in a brave way!
Uzi: (Rolls eyes. Jumps back as Doll appears right behind her)
Doll: (Blinks)
Uzi: (Notices the trash bin full of the same missing posters)
Doll: Ванная по коридору налево. (Bathroom is down the hall to the left.)
Uzi: (Grimaces, backing away with a thumbs-up gesture)
----
(Scene switches back to the same key with V and N in the pod)
N: Uhh, V, if you're hiding something, we can figure it out together. Even if we each only have pieces. Please, what do you know-
V: (Slices N's head off using her tail) What's best for you. Even if you hate me for it... (Turns around and flies out of the pod)
----
Uzi: (Is in Doll's bathroom getting ready for the prom in front of the mirror. The AbsoluteSolver symbol appears on her face, but she quickly covers it.) Easy, Robo Satan. Not this mirror. (Slowly removes her hand from her face. The symbol appears again and its force shatters the glass.)
Uzi: Shhhh!
Lizzy: (in the other room, muffled) Dude, no one will notice she's missing. Just do your thing, and I'll let him be. We'll see you there!
Uzi: (backs away from the wall) Whaat the fu-
(The sound of liquid dripping causes her to turn around, beholding a sight of oil leaking out of the shower.)
----
(N has already regenerated back inside the pod.)
N: (Twitches, then wakes up screaming) Oh, no, no, NO! (Reaches for the ladder, but is indecisive as to whether he should take the outfit provided by V or not.) No! No time!
(Scrambles up the latter, but quickly appears again with a new decision in mind) Dapper N.
----
Uzi: (Panting as she discovers the destroyed remains of numerous Worker Drones as well as shattered mirrors in Doll's bathroom. She hears footsteps from outside the door and frantically searches for a place to hide.)
Doll: (Enters the bathroom only to find that Uzi escaped by climbing over a stack of mirrors.)
Doll: Как они по-русски любят говорить... 'Ой, я должна была предположить, что кто-то сможет убежать через вентиляцию, используя выброшенные зеркала как ступеньки.' (As they say in Russian... 'Whoops, I should've predicted that someone could escape out of a ventilation shaft using a discarded mirror as stairs.')
Uzi: (Outside in the blizzard, running, is quickly stopped by N as he lands) N?!
N: Uzi?
Uzi: Why are-
N: You look-
Uzi: How did-
N: I, uh-
Uzi: I... think something bad-
N: I could help. But you probably don't want me...
Uzi: N-no! I could use the... help... of you... being there? (Blushing) ...with me?
N: (Hugs Uzi from behind) Dapper buddies!
Uzi: (Elbows him in the side)
(We are now taken to the prom night. A worker attempts to pull off a funky little dance, but is judged by his partner. Thad does a one-armed push-up/hand stand and gestures towards Riley on the other side of the room. Riley isn't having it. Khan waits nervously as he glances around the party, and then at the clock. The stage lights flip on and Lizzy comes on the platform.)
Lizzy: Okay, listen up, nerds. We're doing this a little early, but since the entire prom court mysteriously disappeared, your queen by forfeit is, uh, this!
V: (Lands on the stage, causing a stir in the crowd)
Male Worker Drone: Oh, we're gonna die!
V: (Laughs maniacally)
Lizzy: Easy, judgey bots, V is my friend. (A large screen is lowered and proceeds to show a montage of selfies with V and Lizzy hanging out in various scenes.) She's done with the murder or whatever. We've been hanging!
V: Yess. Best friends. So easily manipulated... (Cackling stops) ... Prom queen? (Looks to Lizzy)
Lizzy: (Smiles shyly)
V: (Glances at the crown) Eugh.
Doll: (Looking over her list of candidates, now having one empty space, she clutches it in her fists and cackles)
Lizzy: (Looks back at V, presumably with pity) So, forgive and forget, or I'll get my dad to DOCK YOUR FREAKIN' GRADES! And you can't sit with us, REBECCA!
Rebecca: Fine! I forgive her. Settle.
Male Worker Drone: She's kinda cute, though.
(applause)
Lizzy: Clap harder, losers!
(cheering)
Female Worker Drone: (Approaches V with the crown in her hand) Your dress is really cute. (Places the crown on V's head)
Crowd: Speech! Speech! Speech!
V: I, uh...
Khan: (Pushes into the door, but he's held back as the AbsoluteSolver symbol appears before him) Not... the doors!
V: I'll kill everyone... after? It's not vain, it's extra sinister.
Doll: (Continues to laugh as the symbol appears on her face, as well. She spreads her fingers, preparing to launch an attack.)
(Lizzy looks back and forth between the two in reluctant anticipation. V approaches the mic slowly, giving it a few taps before speaking. Doll's plan is cut short when both Uzi and N land into the room.)
Uzi: Unhand them, you fieeeennd? ... I'm confused.
(Doll fixes her aim on V again)
Lizzy: On second thought, you're way hotter than Doll. RUN, idiot!
(An explosion is launched at V, holding her in place. Other Worker Drones attempt to escape the room, but are met with similar deaths.)
Doll: Привет, Ви. (Hello, V.)
(Static fills the room and V is hit by a flashback of her killing a Worker Drone, with Doll as a nearby witness.)
Doll: Ладно, тебе всё понятно. (Anyway, you get it.) (Tilts her head, forcing a pole through V's midsection)
V: (Breaks one hand free, firing at Doll)
(With one swipe of her hand, Doll enforces a shield that protects her from V's blasts. She summons a cleaver knife and tosses it at V, removing her arm. Almost immediately, she removes the ceiling fan from its post.)
Uzi: Holy crap, what is she doing?
N: This isn't what I expected at all! I guess we should, uh-
Uzi: (Groans)
(Doll tosses the ceiling fan in V's direction, an attack that is blocked as N jumps in. Uzi follows quickly behind him with a knife to throw straight at Doll's face. The knife bounces right off. Doll releases the lock from the door, and all the surviving Worker Drones storm out except Khan, who is hesitant.)
Doll: Узи, ты правда на стороне Дронов-Убийц? Я не единственная, кто потеряла из-за них семью. (Uzi, you would really side with the Murder Drones? I'm not the only one who's lost family to them.)
Uzi: Bite me! Whoever started this wants us to fight! I'm not dealing with anything well, but I'm done dealing with everything alone. We move forward together, or not at all.
Doll: Как мило... Но мне твоя помощь не нужна. (Cute... but I don't need help.) (Summons another pole that goes straight through N's leg. Two unidentified obbjects fly straight towards them, but N pushes Uzi out of the way. Doll notices Khan trying to reenter the room once he sees that Uzi is in danger, so she shuts the door from behind her. Another blade is thrown at Uzi that goes straight through her hand. Uzi pulls it out and arms herself.)
(Dolls point of view shows a red flashing screen that starts beeping as Uzi approaches. She attempts to throw another blade, but Uzi swipes it away.)
----
(V's arm is pulling itself along the ground) N: (Picks it up) Is this...?
V: (Grabs it out of his hand using her mouth) Mine!
Lizzy: Ew. You look like garbage.
V: (muffled) You frickin' traitor.
Lizzy: (Swipes V's arm out of her mouth) As if you weren't using me to try and kill everyone, Ms. Petty. Where does this freaking go?
N: Thank you, Lizzy!
Both Lizzy and V: Shut up, loser.
----
(Doll and Uzi continue their fight. A knife is thrown into the stereo, which Doll then takes to toss at Uzi again. Uzi jumps and arms herself with the microphone stand, which she kicks towards Doll. Doll stops the stand in mid-air. Uzi picks up the knife and starts advancing, but the stand is thrown back at her, causing her to fall to the ground. The knife slides away and is gained by Doll once again, who multiplies it and charges them towards Uzi; another attack that is blocked by N.)
N: (Offers her a hand)
Uzi: (Groans) Quit saving me!
N: (Grabs her hand and twirls her around to avoid an attack from another unidentified object)
(Uzi catches the knife in her hand as it's thrown at her again. N pulls her in and she tosses it back to Doll. N shoots a missile in the same direction. The knife barely misses her face and instead slides through a single strand of hair. An explosion causes her to fall back.)
Uzi: (Clutching on to N's waist, blushing) Seriously, don't... do that again.
N: Uzi... AH, OKAY, YOUR TURN! (Picks up Uzi and throws her forward right before he's hit by an entire table)
(Doll is lifting both the remaining tables and Uzi into the air. Uzi jumps from table to table in an attempt to get closer to Doll. Doll twirls more blades her way, but with a single kick Uzi is able to counterattack and snap Doll's wristband. Uzi jumps from the table and does a power kick straight to Doll's head. As Doll prepares to attack again, she's shot in the head from behind by V.)
Uzi: ... V! We needed her for answers!
V: What? She's fine- uh eaahh. A little tuckered out.
N: V did that on purpose! She's hiding mystery stuff and being over dramatic about it!
V: N! You SUCK! (Punches N in the side)
Uzi: YOU!
Both: (Points at each other)
Uzi: (Picks up Doll's wristband from the ground) Lucky for you, we're not done yet.
(A key dangles from the wristband.)
----
(All enter a dark room as the lights turn on, revealing it to be Doll's room again.)
Uzi: Uh, oh.
V: Hehe. Nice.
(Worker Drone remains are scattered across the floor, ceiling, and counters.)
V: (Takes one of the arms in her mouth and sucks on it)
Uzi: (Removes the arm) Ugh. Self respect. Why would a worker drone... was she eating them? (deposits the arm in a nearby pot; one that's already full of other arms)
N: (Discovers a large sheet in the corner of the room that appears to be hiding something)
Uzi: (Notices the oil on her fingers, peering at it intently)
N: (Removes the sheet, revealing her parents) I... think we found her folks.
V: They don't really, didn't even taste that good.
N: V, you kind of suck.
V: (Giggles) Yeah. I'm not doing okay. (Chomps on a robotic bug)
Uzi: (Removes her oil-covered fingers from her mouth and hides them as N looks back at her. She crawls over the counter and goes to inspect the corpses of Doll's parents.)
(An ID badge on one of them reads: YEVA - 048, along with a picture of a female worker drone)
(Doll regenerates behind them and, with a sickly smile, removes the bullet from her head, pointing it towards the three of them.)
Doll: Как раз к ужину... (Just in time for dinner...)
(They all gasp as they see her and the screen fades black for a moment, along with the sound of a shot firing. The AbsoluteSolver symbol appears within view and the camera pans out to find that Uzi had blocked the bullet with similar abilities to Doll.)
Doll: Мне... мне тебя... жаль... (I... I'm sorry for you.)
(A choker appears around Uzi's neck. She discards the bullet.)
Doll: Если я найду то, что ищу, то и тебе помогу. (If I find what I'm looking for, I'll help you too.)
Uzi: What?
Doll: Извини. (I am sorry.) (Backs away)
Uzi: Wait! Oh, don't you dare!
(V jumps up and shoots Doll, causing an explosion.)
Uzi: Ugh, I HATE IT HEREE!
----
(Outside, the wind is blowing. A male worker drone digs through the snow and reveals a pair of glasses.)
Worker: Oh, that's where I left my excuse to be outside right now. (puts them on)
(A pod crashes down with a great blast. Other large objects come after it. A final explosion occurs, dropping a single teddy bear. The worker uncovers his head just in time to see another pod land. Tessa exits the pod and is quick to slice the worker's neck with her sword.)
Tessa: (Puts the sword away) Righty-o. Work to do. Eh, J?
(Serial Designation J flies in from behind, handing her a key.)
Tessa: Maintenance work.
(Car beep)
