Mech-X4 S2 E5

## Plot

The episode starts by going back 15 years to when Randall gave Ryan to Leo. Oh! So many feelings! In the present, Leo is elaborating on what he said. Randall took a job as a miner, but there was a collapse at his dig site. The company is keeping things quiet because they don't have permission to dig there. Because of this, they've left all the men there to die. Mark doesn't feel comfortable taking the robot out of state with Grey and Harper still on the loose. He and Leo go to his house to install a satellite dish to protect Grace in case either one of them launches an attack. Leo reveals that he fixed Mark's car. He wanted to do something nice for Mark, since he thinks that he's upset that Leo will be made the new mechanic of Mech-X4 because he knows the robot better. Except that Leo has been free for some time, and replacing Mark has never been discussed before. Mark asks Leo if he could turn him into a technopath like Ryan. Speaking of which, he and the others reach the mountain. Ryan can't reveal his identity to his dad with Harper back, so just meeting him will have to be enough. The mountain is losing structural integrity. It could collapse in minutes, which isn't enough time to get everyone to safety. They make a path to an elevator shaft. Harris and Spyder will try to stall the mountain's collapse while Ryan rescues the miners. He finally meets his father. He claims that he's a prodigy rescue worker. However, he acts really awkward around his dad. It's honestly kind of adorable and endearing. It gets even weirder when they talk about family. They use gravity pucks to remove the rubble separating them from the rest of the miners. Leo tells Mark that he can't make him a technopath, because Ryan got his powers by accident. He has to go after Grey, Harper, and his dad. If Mark could pilot the robot too, he could get a break every once in awhile. Grace discovers them, and she has a lot of questions. Randall says that he has a wife, but claims that he doesn't have any kids. Oh, that moment! I will gladly forgive the fact that Randall and Ryan don't look anything alike if they decided to go for ability over appearance, because Dean Marshall is really good in this episode. They rescue the other miners, but the place starts collapsing. Randall saves Ryan from a rock, but his leg is pinned. Ryan refuses to leave him behind. Randall asks him why he'd risk his life to save someone he doesn't know. Ryan tells him the truth and saves him with a gravity puck. Before they leave, Randall grabs a bag. Some rubble blocks the exit, so Spyder uses missiles to clear a path. Ryan controls Mech-X4 remotely to carry the elevator and everyone in it to safety. He shows the robot to Randall. He wants to spend time with him, but they can't with Harper still out there. They share a heartbreaking conversation and say goodbye for now. Mark claims that he accidentally knocked over the satellite dish while playing basketball, and Leo is a repairman who upgraded them to a new one, free of charge. It's revealed that Leo made sure that Ryan was adopted by the Walkers, not just because of Grace and Davis, but because of Mark. Things turn ominous when the lights turn off. Ryan gets a call from Mark, telling him to get back to Bay City ASAP. They get there and see the city's lights flickering. The power grid is out of control. No one knows what's going on. In the woods, Randall takes out a cell phone and informs the person on the other end that he got the ore, which was in the bag. He also has a gravity puck, saying that he has a way to track down Leo. He plans to get Leo. Well, that was… wow. I did not expect that.
