"**Memory Mayhem**" is the sixth episode of the first season and the second episode in Chapter Two, written by Mic Graves, Tony Hull, and Richard Overall. It premiered on March 30, 2021 in the United States.

## Synopsis

Frankie tries to discover more about the mysterious rock that bought them to their new home, with the help of an entity called The Head.

## Plot

While Elliott goes to explore the Hive, Frankie walks and chats with 105E while they make their way to The Head. As they do, 105E shows Frankie her ability to project an image of other's memories from the past 12 hours, and demonstrates it with Frankie's memories from the events of Wednesday. Afterward, she explains that her ability to do so comes from her mutualite Yadveer, a small creature that lives inside of her. 105E notices that they're running late for Frankie's lecture with The Head, and they hurry to The Head's room of the Hive. As they enter, 105E tells Frankie to keep her voice down, to only address The Head, to mind the step on the way in, and that Frankie will be the lecturer. She then departs, leaving Frankie unprepared.

At first, Frankie sees and hears only a few individuals. Upon asking which one is The Head, though, she watches as hundreds of them unite into a single entity, taking the shape of a head together. The Head greets her, mentions that she is one of the "anomalies" from the other side of the Universe, and begins by asking questions about who she is, where she came from, and how she got to the Centrium. However, when they ask why she came there in the first place, Frankie is unable to answer, as she doesn't know. This leads her to bring up her rock, but when The Head asks to see it, Frankie admits that she can't show it to them since she lost it in Biosphere 1138. She suddenly realizes that Yadveer and 105E might be able to help, and rushes off to go find them.

Frankie searches for 105E and finds her at a droid convention, where she hurriedly grabs 105E and brings her back to The Head. Frankie explains to 105E that they have a limited amount of time before it'll be too late to project her memory of the rock. When she gets back to The Head's room, though, 105E reveals that she doesn't have Yadveer with her, since he's back at the convention. Frankie, still pulling 105E behind, runs back to the convention and finds Yadveer in a mutualite spa.

With both Yadveer and 105E, Frankie returns to The Head and begins the projection of her recent memories. At first it works, and The Head watches as 105E shows images of Biosphere 1138, including a memory of some babbledrogs. Right as it begins to reach the point where she last saw the rock, though, the projection turns off and Frankie realizes that she took too long. When Frankie asks if it's possible for The Head to send someone to search through the biosphere for it, The Head tells her that the biospheres are far too huge for that. However, the linguistics specialist brings up the babbledrogs that Frankie mentioned before, and reveals that they only occupy a small part of the biosphere. Having greatly narrowed down the rock's possible locations with this discovery, The Head tells Frankie that they can send some droids to search the area right away, and says that perhaps they can still find her rock. Frankie smiles, relieved that her efforts weren't a total failure after all.

Frankie and 105E meet up with Elliott and Mo, and the four of them exit the Hive together while Elliott and Frankie tell each other about their respective adventures that day. Frankie lets Elliott know that though she didn't figure out anything about the rock that day, The Head is working on finding information about it.

Meanwhile, in Biosphere 1138, more babbledrogs find their way to the rock, and become paralyzed as they touch it and it begins to absorb their natural electricity.
