EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off a devastating premiere that destroyed Higan's peaceful life and set his vendetta in motion, episode two shifts from setup to pursuit, establishing the conflict between Higan and his former clan that will drive the full thirteen-episode run. This early chapter builds the foundation for the show's dual-track structure—Higan's personal war and Mike Morris's investigation—while hinting at the ninja organization's far-reaching influence. It's a critical bridge episode that transitions from inciting tragedy into the longer campaign of retribution ahead.
