Fuck You and Eat Shit

**Fuck You and Eat Shit** is the sixth episode of the first season of *The Peripheral*. It premiered on November 18, 2022.

## Synopsis

Flynne and Wilf discover Aelita’s ties to the Neoprims, who want to destory London as we know it. Inspector Lowbeer makes her appearance in London and demands to meet Flynne, Burton and Conner.

## Plot

In 2028, in Texas, a group of Marine Corps including Burton and his friends, are in a battlefield. They see a dog behind a fence and debate letting him free when a bomb goes off, paralyzing Conner.

Detective Ainsley and her assistant, Beatrice, look into Daniel’s death. Meanwhile, Tommy is told to take a leave of absence. He realizes that something fishy is going on and his boss, who rescued Bob from the car crash, is probably taking a payout from the Research Institute.

Flynne learns from Wilf that the London in the future she knows is part of the visual stimulation- the people there aren’t real, they’re just there to make others feel less alone. They search for clues about Aelita at a shop that sold Aelita her own peripheral. Flynne and Wilf also realize that the reason Cherise is telling Flynne she stole something is that Aelita must have downloaded data into a physical object in Flynne’s own timeline. Wilf asks Reggie about Aelita and he said he can’t say because the Neoprims are after him.

Macon helps Conner with his wheelchair and Conner asks him about Flynne’s headset. He asks about the amount of time one can spend in a peripheral and implies he wants to enter a peripheral as well. Macon tells him that’s not possible but Conner pushes back.

Ash makes peripherals for both Conner and Burton, after Flynne convinced them to.

Dee tells Constantine to take leave since he has a concussion and is getting himself mixed up in something. Constantine, however, is insistent on getting to the bottom of what’s going on since he gave his word to the Fishers he’d protect them.

The Sheriff brought Bob to the Picketts and put an electric collar on him to keep him still while they decide what to do with him.

Leon tells Conner he can use their haptic connection to reduce Conner’s pain. Conner falls asleep but Leon has a seizure where he sees what happened to Conner up close.

Ash and Ossian find out that Dee Dee has been looking into bacterial infections in the occipital lobe, which tells Flynne and Wilf that Aelita possibly downloaded something into Flynne herself.

Bob manages to escape by electrocuting Mary with his electric collar. He sets up, presumably to find and kill the Fishers.

Detective Ainsley shows up to question Lev and the team about Daniel’s murder. She geo-located Wilf to the scene but knows Wilf isn’t the only one behind this. She questions Ossian too and asks to speak to the three peripherals running on A.I. Burton goes to Conner’s house to take him, along with Flynne, to enter their peripherals to meet Detective Ainsley.
