Mech-X4 S2 E12

## Plot

Back in Bay City, the robot is rebuilt. After they take down Traeger, Ryan plans to turn over Harper too. The control panel is glitchy, and Leo might be the only one who can fix it. He already contacted Ryan, and didn't want Harper to know where he was. He programmed Mark's car to fly Ryan to his location. He tells Ryan that he's with his birth parents, and his mom is sick. Ryan is glad to see Randall again. The ore he got from the mine blocks signals from the outside world. However, they still have to live away from civilization. They've built a small village here. Ryan puts all his tech in a well. Leo tells him that thirty of the volunteers from his technopathy trial are allergic to technology. There's a chance that Ryan can cure them. Georgia broke up with Mark after he ghosted her because they were in the Arctic. Veracity, Harris, and Spyder decide to get them back together. Almost everyone in the village hates Leo. Ryan meets their leader, Lincoln, who is a woman, and obviously evil. Ryan wants to cure all of them, but he wants to see his birth mother first. Randall and Leo take him to her. Violet is unconscious. She's one of the really sick ones. She's sick because her body is producing technopathic energy, which Ryan can manipulate, and pull out of her. Lincoln gets Ryan to try the procedure on someone younger and less sick: Brandi, a little girl. She's way too young to have been around when Leo did the trial, so she must've gotten it from at least one of her parents. Ryan cures her, but he passes out. When he wakes up, he hears Leo talking outside. If he pushes himself too hard curing people, he might get hurt. They don't know what the procedure will do to him. However, the villagers, especially Lincoln and Aaron, have become so desperate that they only care about themselves now. Despite the risks, Ryan secretly cures Violet, which Leo sees. She wakes up and meets him. However, something weird happens to him, and he passes out again. He wakes up later, and has a sweet moment with Violet. Lincoln comes in and sees them. Leo doesn't want Ryan to cure any more people just yet. It could be killing him. He wants to take him back to Bay City to run some tests, and Randall agrees. Lincoln thinks they're leaving them behind because Violet is cured. She says they're not leaving until everyone is cured. Violet says that could kill Ryan. Lincoln says that he'll cure all of them, or he'll never see his birth parents again, who are taken away by other villagers. Ryan cures Aaron, but it's very painful for him. Leo begs Lincoln to stop, because Ryan could die, and if he does, no one else gets cured. Like the other villagers though, Lincoln hates Leo, so she doesn't believe him. Brandi breaks them out through a secret exit. She believes him. Violet and Randall are being held in the farmhouse cellar. Leo knocks out the guard watching them and takes his keys. He frees Randall and Violet, but they're cornered by Lincoln and other villagers with various makeshift weapons, including a crossbow. They were never planning on letting Leo leave here alive. They want revenge for what he did to them, even though he's extremely sorry and had no idea it would happen. Ryan stops them by throwing the tech from the well at them. Lincoln says that even if they escape, they'll track them down eventually. Randall points out that they're turning themselves into monsters to get cured, and monsters don't deserve to live. Actually, those are my words, not his. Decent people don't kidnap or kill others, or keep their own hostage. They tell everyone the truth about how curing people is killing Ryan. Randall tries to convince them that they're better than this. Aaron says that he's family. He risks his life in the outside world for them. Aaron volunteered for the trials to help people, not hurt the kid who saved his life. The villagers lock Lincoln up instead. Hopefully she'll be saner once she's cured. Back in Bay City, Mark apologizes to Georgia for the others annoying her, and for ghosting on her. He just has new responsibilities. She didn't break up with him because he's busy. She's busy too. She broke up with him because he didn't tell her he was busy. After all, communication is crucial in relationships. She agrees to give him another chance. Ryan has to say goodbye to his birth parents. They're staying in the village, and he and Leo have to get back to Bay City, both to stop Traeger and develop a better cure, now that Leo knows how they can be cured. Meanwhile, Grey breaks into a secret lab garden to steal some flowers. She transforms into her monster form to take care of the guards.
