Episode Context

After Episode 6 (DUMB BARTER) pushed Section 9 through a violent, personal field operation tied directly to Motoko's history, Episode 7 reorients the season toward its philosophical spine. The Puppeteer thread, previously threading the background, moves into sharper focus here and begins pulling the story away from standalone cases toward its larger, conspiracy-driven questions about consciousness and networked identity. This episode effectively marks the transition point where the season commits to its existential endgame.
