[@violetDraven6]

21:16 cyn wanted to control N by hugging him but couldn't because Uzi made herself admin in N's codes. Meaning Uzi denied anyone else (Cyn in this case) to mess with N's head and by doing so made N remember those flashbacks that the murder drones killed all humans before trying to kill worker drones. All humans died after the gala we saw in ep 5.

55:20 The "what?" at the end says it all about this episode.

[@morganjenkins8464]

Just to clear things up Nori (02) is Khan’s wife, both Nori and Khan are Uzi’s parents. The solver is some hangry program that allows those that harbour it to use wacky powers. Such as telekinesis, matter manipulation and what seems to be biomancy. The cost of this power? a desire to eat (sentient mass?) and rearranging your mechanical innards to be biomechanical. Hence why the infected bots bleed blood, and others spill oil Also 25:22 it’s implied that N “Killed” Nori and is why she lives on as a heart. Also also, anyone infected or is a (murder bot) has a crab heart, 51:25 you can see doll get eaten, it was possible that she was still alive up until that moment

[@Petrovious]

25:22 doesn't necessarily mean that N "killed" Nori (but it is a possibility). Since Nori had visions from Cyn/the Solver, Nori could have seen N in one of those visions (maybe from Cyn's/the Solver's memories). It could also be possible that N was nearby when Nori was "killed."

I love how they make such a silly adorable character equally as horrifying. If you didn't figure it out yet, she isn't just wearing human skin. She's wearing TESSA'S SKIN. Tessa being the human character that loved robots. Cyn meant it when she said "And I will not discard you." to Tessa.

[@iamlosingmysanityrapidly]

And by I will not discard you, she meant *I won't dispose of the evidence.* Right?

[@jaylinnell5251]

Fun fact: Tetris was invented by a citizen of the Soviet Union, and had to figuratively fight to keep the rights to his game. It's definitely an interesting story. And Yeva, being a Russian drone, playing Tetris is actually somewhat fitting.

[@violetDraven6]

Absolute solver is a weird powerful entity. Cyn is it's host. So they're like partners lol.

[@Jirodyne]

It's more like Cyn herself doesn't exist, Absolute Solver is more like Skynet from Terminator 2, an all powerful, sentient, Virus that can infect other machines and take over them. The "Patch" shown in this video, was patching the Drones to no longer be under the Virus' control, but still have access to all the tools and abilities of the virus. Think of it like... A Virus hacks your phone, to access the data, it first Jailbreaks the phone to access the data behind the scenes of the OS. The "Patch" Kills the Virus itself, but still allows you, the "User" in control, to access the jailbreak features and abilities that being jailbroken allows you access to.

[@NULL_0-D]

9:24 the dead body of nori was a hologram. 33:57 Because the Solver can create some organic mutations, that's why they're bleeding, because the solver made them half organic. The Absolute Solver can create organic matter (in a very unstable way, like Uzi did with the arrow in episode 4. Also, humans didn't made the murder drones, but Cyn (the Solver) did, since Nori called N "murder-pet" ; Murder Drones were Worker drones before, like in ep 5 as it shows some murder drones parts like wings etc.

[@NULL_0-D]

@@iamlosingmysanityrapidly woops, my bad XD thanks x) fixed

[@owenchafer1083]

The way I see it, Cyn and the Absolute Solver are interwined but semi seperate beings. They are technically seperate from each other, but their personalities fused so closely that they don't act very different from each other In that same vein, while the DD's have a part of the solver in them via their cores, it's more of a part than it's own independent entity. Acting more akin to a background program than a personality or direct controller, meanwhile the real solver is mostly in Cyn and occasionally in the other solver hosts, who are more integrated with the AS (See Uzi/Doll bleeding + wings/tail, whereas the DD's are metal except for their cores)

[@A.please_insert_witty_text.M]

I absolutely agree with you. The main difference between Cyn and the Solver in present day is that Cyn actually cares about some (unfortunate) people. Those being N, V, and J, who were able to keep their personalities, and Tessa, who wasn't discarded, in an EXTREMELY morbid sense. Meanwhile, the Solver just seems like a jerk and hates everyone, only caring about consuming the universe.

[@AndreLuiz-xf6el]

About all the blood in the robots, remember that the only ones we see bleeding are the "witches", Nori, Yeva, Doll and Uzi (maybe Cyn?), who are the ones who have acess/control of the 3 arrows thingy, the super power. And we see that in some level they can make normal objects into organic matter, and Uzi even have her demon transformation (is that the zombie drone we heard about few eps ago?) that is very organic. My point is that they bleeding make as much sense as the rest of this show.

[@ZenithProtocol]

54:57 yeah, that's the planet's core, cuz basically half the planet just exploded

[@Petrovious]

The Solver created a big hole, but it didn't destroy half the planet.

[@Bad_Karma00]

In case someone else hasn't cleared this up in another comment. When N has his flashback and you see the contact admin thing, it's because Cyn was trying to take over N. She couldn't because N and V are protected by Uzi.

[@maryparks5033]

THANK you! It's so refreshing to find someone else who recognizes Cyn as the adorable little meat marionette she is instead of just being creeped out by her xD

LOL I LOVE HOW THE END HAS NO OUTRO. Just a confused “..what?” So real for that honestly

[@ZenithProtocol]

20:49 In ep 5, after all the madness of the Flashback, just after returning from the flashback you can see on N and V's screen how the admin, who in ep 1 was implied to be Cyn, became Uzi (or Darkxwolf17, it's the same thing), so since then Uzi is the administrator of the N and V system.

[@djmagichat1721]

This was very well timed. I've been having...a rough couple days. Trying to forget everything right now. EDIT: The use of null in this show is incredibly on point for how it works in code. You couldn't ask for a better visual representation of it, especially considering the guy who came up with the concept has gone on record calling it his "billion dollar mistake." Because nulls in code have led to huge, huge errors and cost companies huge amounts of money. It's why modern languages usually try to handle nulls for you; they're dangerous if used incorrectly.

Just in case you didnt notice i think its important to say this since the episodes doesnt tell you directly but cyn or the solver with human flesh was actually using tessa as a skin suit,if you notice it its the same form and clothes (which also means tessa died when she go to the gala ignoring cyn's warnings)

[@starburst98]

And so the solver's plan is revealed. From the hints gathered in this episode it becomes clear the solver wants to cause the big crunch and eat the entire universe. Each time it eats a planet it is adding another node to a giant collapser. The solver lives outside the void, it cannjust interact inside the universe through the drones.

[@kfphunter1315]

21:08 it is Cyn that just has given this memory while also has tried to posses N again, but Uzi's programm protects N. N knew only mansion memory when he realized that Cyn was killing and re-creating him

[@OliviaClayton-f2z]

55:11 its exactly what earth looked like in the picture that not-Tessa showed N in episode 6 on the computer

[@Bannedchan]

Remember, Tessa was never the bad guy She was just a poor girl who loved drones and got skinned by her 'friend' over 15 years ago

[@roguefenixC55]

When N said "we're not going to hurt you! Okay?" It was definitely more of a warning to Tessa than reassurance to Uzi. Uzi took over as Admin for N and V from Cyn so that she couldn't delete his memories like she tried to in episode 5. The puppeted drone had the appearance and voice of V as we saw her at the mansion, then changed to Cyn's avatar right before hugging N. Cyn and the absolute solver are basically one and the same, it's unclear if the solver adopted her personality or allowed her to have some control while still influenced, but I think the Solver basically became Cyn after she agreed to let it in at the dump.

[@FrostedMike]

The difference between the Absolute Solver and Cyn is that Cyn is the host of the Absolute solver. The difference got blurry because Cyn is not in control at all and can't take control from the simple fact she is actually dead. The Absolute Solver is puppeteering her body and the one who talks, Cyn is an empty husk. Cyn's real personality doesn't matter. The Absolute Solver is being referred to as Cyn often because Cyn is so long gone that they are practically one and the same at this point. The best way to "tell" who talks when between Cyn and The Solver is the body: If it got Cyn's body and is not a hologram, it's Cyn. If it doesn't, it's The Solver. Then again, doesn't matter as much.

[@marionette8739]

The framing of that scene in episode 5 more implies that it was N waking up in the dump, meaning Cyn communicated with him even then.

[@roguefenixC55]

@@marionette8739 it's shows the marked for disassembly armband on her that says CYN, same one they show on her in episode 7, and you can see the Solver communicate with her very briefly on her visor as she reboots

[@A.please_insert_witty_text.M]

I would say that Cyn was probably a fairly sweet, if peculiar, WD for atleast a while back in the manor. However the repeated mistreatment from the Elliotts ended up slowly degrading her mental state until the Solver was able to corrupt and manipulate her into executing its (not necessarily Cyn's) goal of consuming the universe. I'll point out that pretty much everytime Uzi gets corrupted/possessed by the Solver, it's when her mental state is at a low point. By the time we see her, she's corrupted to the point that she's just a pawn ot the Solver. But she lets N, V and J retain their personalities because she was attached to them from back at the manor, and preserved Tessa's skin as a way to keep her promise of not discarding her (a topic that she doesn't seem to take very kindly to). Another thing I'll mention is, in episode 5, the Solver camera in the basement HATED N. Which doesn't line up with Cyn still referring to him as her big brother and keeping backups of the trio. So I assume that the Solver camera in the basement was PURELY the Solver. I also think Eldritch J was also probably just the Solver. Uzi in episode 4 was CORRUPTED by the Solver, but not truly possessed. And finally, the possessions in episode 6 and 7 are Cyn possessing Uzi.

It always shocks me to see how accurate some of your theories are Im so excited to see you react to the last episode When you finsish the series, see if you can rewatch it all brcause it makes ALOT more sense. Also heres some information thats never really told in the series and only really worked out- Cyn is the main body that the solver first possessed She was improperly disassembled, as we also saw on the flesh drones arm, refering back to cabin fever when we saw the tape about zombie drones That flesh drone WAS actually tessa at some point. Its the solver still using cyns body wearing tessas skin as a skinsuit. Her fan name is "Cynessa" That would also make sence of the tyn you saw instead of cyn The t for Tessa If you listened extremely close in the elliot mansion episode, ep 5 when N was about to be lobotomised you can hear tessa screaming as shes beining killed along with the rest of the Gala. The solver also mentioned, "You will not have to discard your pets, and i will not discard you." She kept her promise i guess 🤷‍♀️ Oh and another random peice of info, Uzi's and N's main theme song appears to be "falling... for you?" Because its appeared MULTIPLE times throughout the series when their together

9:27 That flashback with Nori having been stabbed in the face was a hologram illusion thing that disappeared when the intern noticed that stuff wasn't right/the pope scientist hiding behind a pew. Remember Khan said in episode 1 he killed Nori with a wrench to put her out of her misery when the murder drones got her with their acid buuut as we see in this episode Nori's core is still intact and crawling around because she has the solver program so she didn't fully die but came down here trying to find the usb cross 12:03 N said they aren't going to hurt her more towards Tessa because remember last episode Tessa said they are to find what drones are infected and kill them and that he has to put aside his feelings for Uzi and do it when they find the list. 14:00 all that stuff is new and we have not seen before 17:34 Earth flashback! Yippie! such fun times as we see Cyn sicking the murder drones to spread joy and friendship to humanity. 24:19 interesting theory but nah the void (the solver) can just do that and alter anything that isn't also the void (the solver) 28:07 the closet is something we have seen in a past episode where he put all of Nori's and then Uzi's crazed ramblings 29:53 Wendy... 😢XD 34:03 we started seeing them bleed and stuff now that they are getting more infected/taken over/corrupted by the solver 38:05 that message is the same exact one we see when she tried using the solver powers on Uzi in the prom episode and _trn is probably just the code indicating its a function input 42:53 we have seen solver drones with ribs before with J in the second episode

[@OliviaClayton-f2z]

18:00 Cyn (aka the Solver) took control of the drones and made them Murder Drones (as seen in episode 5, Home) to kill the humans on earth. After they used the patch on Nori to kill the Solver, the surviving humans sent N V and J to kill the other infected drones, the children of the main infected ones, like Nori and Yeva. Doll was Yeva's child, and Uzi is Nori's. Hope this was somewhat helpful ^^

[@DarkRaikon]

might want to clear out the humans used the patch on nori - to get drones who can use solver's power without being under it's control

[@Jirodyne]

@@DarkRaikon Correct. It got Solver's power, without being Solver, and thus was a threat to it's power as they would be able to do anything and everything solver could do. They were a threat to it, so she sent the murder bots there to kill the other 'hosts' that might threaten the original.

[@NULL_0-D]

@Olivia Uh... Dude.. how the humans could sent N, V and J since all humans died in the series... These has been sent by Cyn (aka the absolute solver) to indeed kill the drones, and finising the job of destroying Copper-9. in ep 1, when N rebooted, we could see that the administrator was "Cyn", meaning that was CYN who sent these murder drones, to kill all the drones, and the those who have the solver.

[@VeneficusCubes]

For all intends and purposes CYN is absolute solver. Whatever was left of Cyn was completely consumed by the solver. So effectively Cyn = Solver Any other robot is only possessed by the solver, as solver needs a host (Cyn) as a root source, but it can spread into unlimited amount of bots. Murder drones are technically also solver, but they are heavily reprogrammed to the point solver cannot puppet them directly. Aka "restored your personality" that's what cyn mean when she hugged N in that collapsed tunnel. Darkxwolf17 used that fact that murder drones are independent to properly separate them.

[@Novamity]

GET SNUCK-UP ON! Can't wait for you to watch the finale! IT'S SO GOOD! ( Yes, unfortunately, there are only eight episodes and I don't think there's gonna be a season two. :( )

[@Unclaimed_Username]

The drones are mostly color-coded to tell what faction they belong to, from the looks of things. Nori and her bloodline (as in Uzi) are Purple. Yeva and her bloodline (as in Doll/???) are Red Uncorrupted Drones have White Corrupted Drones/Cyn/Solver are Yellow. Humans, or things pretending to be human, are Black/Blank. Though there's exceptions. Lizzy is Pink, Thad and Uzi's Railgun are Green (weapons?), Anti-Drone forces, or things specifically designed to mess with drones, have Blue for some reason (holograms, sentinels, Beau, the "Prank")

[@thesaltybeard1793]

Nah. I mean it's just eye color. There's plenty of normal yellow eyed worker drones. Mostly extras. I do think that eye color is passed down to subsequent iterations/versions of the AI (that is to say, their children).

[@danielflorinduta4713]

Putting this here in case it was missed cuz its a huge part. After Tessa took her suit off and we saw her armband said: "Improper disposal is punishable by fines and imprisonment. P/N: CYN" That is Cyn wearing Tessa's skin. Tessa did die at the galla in episode 5. I guess thats what she meant when she said "you will not discard your pets and i will not discard you"

[@thesaltybeard1793]

You just sleeping on the last episode or what/

[@Virtual_Garbage]

The reason why Doll had blood and a ribcage is because if the Solver, dont forget it can produce organic material in its hosts, not only in walls and hands

[@Razgriz_01]

It really does assimilate. It probably uses matter from whatever it assimilates to create. Those ribcages, blood, and other organs inside the drones probably used to belong to someone. Humans were used as spare parts along with worker drones.

[@mariohoehlein8011]

20:34 DarkXWolf17 is Uzis tag. So she probably saw that memory. And hid that memory from N. Because it would have been to painful for him to see it. The last episode is going to be insane.

[@Flugel_Halogen]

The patch isn't meant to kill the solver drone, it's meant to purge Cyn's control from the drone and allow them to use it without possibility of being taken over again. I don't know if the power becomes nerfed or a little weaker than if they didn't use it, but I feel like Nori would've been able to make a new body for herself If her regeneration wasn't nerfed

[@DarklightNamari]

I think it gets mildly nerfed in that the Hosts who are fully patched cannot further develop the powers without connection to Cyn's neural network, only using the base powerset of the Solver. (This is in reference to the fact that Uzi went from only using the base powerset to developing more complicated use of them and manifesting the ability to utilize null voids, since Nori is implied to only be using the base powerset after being mostly patched.)

[@Nitrinoxus]

I'm gonna miss these weekly chances to overanalyze and speculate, but I'm gonna make the most of the time we've got left: - I'm going to guess the opening sequence takes place _after_ Nori wrecked shop at the Cabin Fever facility from the last episode. The makeshift lab in an old cathedral strikes me as an 'any port in a storm' solution to having a dubiously-sane Drone with deadly reality-warping powers carve a gruesome trail of destruction out of the _last_ lab you had her locked up in... and frankly, I don't think those chains are gonna do *_anything_* to slow Cyn down when she decides she wants out. - I think that's just Mitchell, who threw on Dr. Chambers' uniform by accident. In those yellow lights, the doctor's blue suit would look the same as his usual green one. (I've played around with that sort of effect in theatre productions before.) - So, Nori's Solver gave her _frikkin' _*_shadow manipulation powers?!_* If Uzi inherited _that_ kind of ability, too, the climactic fight is gonna be *_nuts!_* - The pentagram magnetic cage, the USB cross, the head researcher in ceremonial clergy garb... I feel like they think Nori's possessed by some manner of _demon,_ which isn't _necessarily_ wrong, but I think they missed the closer parallels -- when I think 'nightmarish entity that spreads via knowledge of its existence', _my_ mind jumps to _Cosmic_ Horror, not _Gothic._ (Maybe they're just not fans of Lovecraft, I really couldn't blame 'em. I'm more a fan of Robert Chambers work- ...wait. _Chambers._ I see what you did there, Mr. Vickers...!) - Somehow it doesn't surprise me that the Russian Drone plays _Tetris_ at super-high speeds to pass the time. I'm assuming the scientists use _Yeva's_ abilities to help contain Nori when she loses control -- I'll see what happens in a second, but her resigned head-thunk against the locker wall had a vibe of '...oh, _wonderful,_ we're doing *_this_*_ again...'_ to me. Besides that, Nori and Yeva were both at the CF facility, too. (This might've been _before_ the lab from before was wrecked, thinking about it now.) - Getting shot in the head barely slowed N or Doll down for a minute or two, so I doubt getting stabbed with a flash drive is enough to keep Nori offline. Honestly, it'd be the _perfect_ opportunity: play possum, wait for the team to shut off the containment field, then -- _shing-shluk-SPLAT!_ -- stroll out the front door. - Still keeping that 'using Yeva to contain Nori' speculation under my hat. The way the Solver thanked Mitchell for the new host makes me think that, if he'd brought Yeva sooner, the situation could've been contained. - Okay, we've seen these 'Eldritch Cores' before, but this one's got a lot more personality than J's did. And then there's the purple lights and Solver powers... either we're still in Flashback Mode and that's Nori, or we're _not_ and Uzi's getting some work done while her body's being reassembled. (Or that last scene was still in the present day, but that's still Nori somehow... hmm...) - _...Blood._ If the Solver's modifications can make Drones _actually bleed,_ that could explain why the Sentinels couldn't differentiate targets anymore: the sight of blood was an automatic 'disengage' order, but they're hard-coded to hunt down AI targets -- an AI target bleeding would be a logic loop. - Despite her comparatively better treatment of the Drones years ago, I feel like Tessa still sees them as inherently inferior to humans. She was quick to order J to watch her ship, flaunted her humanity as a get-out-of-danger-free card when the Sentinels came up, and isn't coy about talking about Uzi like she's just faulty machinery rather than a person. Something's _changed_ since the Manor, she's mirroring her parents in a lot of ways. (And we still don't know how her previous encounter with Cyn went -- she might not be wearing that helmet _just_ because of Copper-9's atmosphere.) - Again we see both the yellow Solver in one eye and Uzi's usual purple in the other. There's two minds occupying the same body now, it looks like, but this balance between them does seem like it's stable. - A gravitational anomaly near the Spire that Cyn ordered built... and it looks like J took the ship to investigate on her own, unless that's yet another Disassembly Drone we haven't seen before (which seems unlikely this late in the game). - ...Either Drones can have trauma-induced hallucinations, or _someone's_ fucking with N's head again. - Will have to read those posts on the board on a bigger screen later, I feel like there's info under the company letterhead that I couldn't make out on my phone's screen. - ...Still not sure how much of this _actually happened_ or if it's just the Absolute Solver screwing with N's memories -- but if these are real memories, N and the others may have been more directly involved in the destruction of Earth than they realized. The admin credentials blocking part of that memory makes me think Uzi's aware of it, too... but how in blazes did _Tessa_ get off the planet when the Solver had the Drones on a search-and-destroy mission...? - The fact that the Solver keeps creating _human hands_ at the end of its tendrils makes me wonder if its organic forms are it _experimenting_ with new host bodies to create something _new._ The human form is inefficient and obsolete, yet it keeps coming back to it... - ...That's Nori's Heart, isn't it? - ...That's Nori's Heart. - J's trashing the old shuttles at the drop sites against orders, Khan's reassembling Uzi's railgun and taking his wife's prophetic scribblings seriously... yep, _definitely_ the end of days. - ...What kind of human being uses their _index finger_ for a fingerprint scan, let alone presses it straight down like that? Tessa's seeming increasingly sus... (...if that's even Tessa at _all_ under that helmet. It occurs to me that we haven't seen either Tessa _or_ Cyn's physical body since the night in the ballroom -- and it makes little sense that Cyn would've let her go while the _rest_ of humanity was getting broken down for parts... so is that Cyn _posing_ as Tessa?) - So, out of all the Drones sent to Cabin Fever, all but two were either unaffected or corrupted by whatever it is they were doing to them, the 'sickness' Doll mentioned. We've already seen Nori, but... Yeva still being online is a surprise. The 2.x-series patch numbers make me think that 'Doll' isn't Yeva's _daughter_ -- that's Yeva _herself,_ re-uploaded into a new body that's been patched at least once a year to let the software keep working on the new hardware. *_That's_* an interesting retroactive twist if I'm right! - The last time we saw that 'like object non-interactive' error, Doll was attempting to use the Translate (.trn) command to throw Uzi across the gymnasium. I think that's _Cyn_ in the tunnel -- not a projection or a copy, but the genuine article. - Well, that explains why the cathedral lab's buried at the bottom of a mine -- it was Ground Zero for the Collapse. (Noteworthy, too, that Nori was apparently patched against Solver infection -- that explains why her Heart's still got her AI loaded into it, though it _does_ still leave the question of where her _body_ ran off to after Khan 'killed' her... unless the Disassembly Drones' nanites dissolved everything else, in which case, never mind about the body.) - So, when Nori started going 'crazy' )from Khan's viewpoint), that was her original memories and identity reasserting themselves after the Solver scrambled them. That makes sense. - ...It's almost like the Solver is trying to create human bodies using the Drones as a framework and physical medium, but really doesn't seem to grasp the nuances of anatomy yet. - I can see how much Uzi takes after her mom. They'd make a great team! - ...The 'like object' error when aimed at 'Tessa'. I think I called the twist earlier. - Between the 'Big Brother' moniker she used and the callback to her earlier comment about having "backups" of N, I think that's Cyn's consciousness trying to take over Uzi's body -- her physical form is still elsewhere, but Cyn's the only one who cares enough about N to have clean-slate backups of his AI core for whenever the current iteration learns more than he should've. - Utilizing flat [NULL] discs like buzzsaws is an inspired use of that kind of power. Nice thinking, Vickers! - When in doubt: embarrassment works! - ...Again. I predicted the twist _again. _*_That's the Original Cyn._* - The stage is set, the players are in their places, and the curtain is rising on the final act. I've got no idea how the final episode is going to bring everything together, but I do know _this: _*_it's gonna be out of this world._*

[@jaylinnell5251]

Perfect summary of the episode. Also, we actually saw TessCyn(One of the nicknames the fans have given this thing) way back in Episode 4, just for a split second.

[@JustABigMac]

Blud is not ready for ep 8 🔥🔥🔥

[@XBaumBaum]

19:40 So I’m pretty sure that CYN triggered these memories right here and that she was trying to take over N's program again, but since Uzi installed some sort of firewall or something CYN can’t get access to his code anymore wich then leaded to her wanting to kill N so she wouldn’t have troubles with a sentient Puppet that she can’t control anymore.

[@Sneaky_proto]

I never saw this before this specific video of the show, but at the final scene, the rubble we see in front of uzi actually is one of the moons of the planet, she was launched so fast into space she shot through a moon like a railgun shell

[@theroboticbean2489]

I'd like to take this time to do a no spoiler explanation of what's going on so far. Basically, Cyn is a zombie drone. That thing you saw before during Cabin fever, she was shut down incorrectly and was rebooted after death, thus the birth of the solver virus. Basically the humnas made drones, just worker drones. This includes Cyn, after her death and reboot she became the solver. She took the bots she stayed with at the manor and experimented on them until she could perfect versions of her "friends". Especially N, who has always treated her well. She wanted a version of N that would like her despite what she planned to do, and wouldn't remember his life as a worker drone, and would believe that he was always a murder drone, and that the humans sent him on his mission. Speaking of which, the Solver made the murder drones to wipe out humanity, and tap into the planet itself, which is what actually killed all humans. Tessa died during the Gala, which is when J got enlisted by the Solver, so she wouldn't be next. She meant what she said about not discarding Tessa, and used her as a humzn disguise to become a certified tech, and blend in with tge humans. Now in order to destroy earth the Solver needed a new host, she had the murder drones, but she didn’t want to steal her friend's bodies, and her old body (Cyn) is no longer suitable. So she goes for Nori, but of course the gumans try to come up with a way to fix things. Most if the humans are gone, so the few left try to stop the Solver with the patch. Since it seems like she can only infect, and body snatch, certain drones. The one's that also had the solver infection, apparently Cyn was patient 0, but a bunch if bots were infected. So the humans made a patch that should stop the virus from progessing, hence this episode. So Nori and Yeva both were infected, but survived because of the patch. The in progress thing, was Nori being in progress of being patched. But things didn’t go as plan and Cyn killed everyone. The intern actually saved Yeva's life, because he accidentally put on the wrong jumpsuit. He accidentally put on the doctor's jumpsuit, and while everyone else knew he wasn't a doctor after his earlier comment, the solver didn’t. So when he returned to the room with Yeva and the solver projection called him doctor, he knew something was up. The solver was trying to trick them into coming closer so it could kill him and Yeva. Though as you saw, Nori got patched and now lives on in the tiny body. (Quick thing, Doll originally was out to kill B, sonce V murdered her parents. Which is what the prom episode was about, tricking V into thinking they were gonna help her murder the workers, only to kill V. She stopped once she realized her solver infection was getting worse and that others (Uzi) were infected.) Then the Solver, realizing that maybe the whole body snatching infected drones thing won't work, decides to keep Tessa as a permanent vessel, and send the murder drones to kill the infected bots, so none of them can stop her, like Yeva stopped Nori. Basically, now the Solver just destroyed the patch, as they took over Uzi. And now there's nothing to stop the Solver from taking over infected bots. (Also yes, the solver also has an auto run program that collects matter and heals wounds. The Solver is some kind of bot infection but it seems like it's turned into something more.The solver infection basically turns you into a murder drone. N, J, V are perfected versions, so no witch powers, or body snatching.)

[@DoctorDunno8675]

SO, the story thus far, as I understand it, using just the context clues in the episodes up to this point - The Absolute Solver, some sort of alien lovecraftian AI thing running on the fabric of the universe itself possesses/merges with/lends its power to/whatever to a broken drone named Cyn. Cyn proceeds to murder all humans on earth (including Tessa) using her drone 'friends' that she's converted into the vampire-like murder drones, before devouring the planet itself. The humans on Copper 9 see what's happening back home and start working on a way to defeat Cyn - to do so, they deliberately re-create the glitch that got Cyn possessed by the Solver on local drones, getting them 'infected' with it too. Unbenknownst to them, however, this also allowed Cyn to possess the other Solver hosts, since they're all essentially networked together through the Solver. But before Cyn was able to break free on Copper 9, the humans successfully developed a patch that would prevent Cyn from possessing a drone - crucially, while still keeping them connected to the Solver in some degree, such that they keep access to its powers. They apply this patch to Yeva, who then is able to apply it to Nori, before Cyn implodes the planet's core as a parting shot. This presents a real problem for Cyn - other drones with access to the Solver's powers, that she can't control, are about the only things in the universe that stand a ghost of a chance of killing her at this point. Worse still, she doesn't have anyone on Copper 9 that she can control anymore - so she has to send the Murder Drones out the hard way, to go hunt down and kill the other hosts. The Murder Drones - V, specifically, successfully murder Yeva and Doll's dad, and they believe they murder Nori with their nanite acid - however, unbeknownst to basically everyone, Nori is able to survive and escape as her Core, the wriggly little three-legged fleshy thing it seems that all drones possessed by the solver (maybe all drones in general?) have. Now, Uzi and Doll, Nori and Yeva's kids, both inherited the Solver possession from their parents - making them the last clear threats to Cyn. Unfortunately for Cyn, the murder drones prove to be less successful at murdering them than their parents (darn empathy). So, Cyn heads out, wearing Tessa's skin, to finish the job herself - along with a duplicate of J under her command. Now Cyn's here, and she's preparing to chow down on Copper 9 like she did with Earth - and with Doll dead, only Uzi's left to stand in her way.

[@Sneaky_proto]

38:09 My guess is crn means console run node while trn is terminal run node, which basically would be code speak for console run command being run automatically outside of the user's control (Cyn in this case running it) while terminal run meaning the user attempted it (in this case Doll running it)

[@phoenixsoren]

I love how Yeva is playing Tetris because it's a Russian game XD And her score when she paused was 16,625,574,266,267,029,348,029 And yes, you're not crazy, you basically called it, that is in fact Tessa's actual real skin being worn by the very same Cyn we met in episode 5 :3 Tessa never made it out of the ballroom

[@OliviaClayton-f2z]

He looked so tired during this XD

[@damienolsen8741]

An easy way to tell if Cny is in control of a worker drone is the color of the eyes if it's yellow it's Cyn

[@REDEADTHEUNDEAD]

Your right when uzi went back into their memories she changed n and v’s administrator from cyn to herself. So that cyn could no longer control them. That’s why she tried to put him back in murder drone mode making him relive the destruction of earth she couldn’t take back control. Also yes the murder drones killed everyone on earth and then the solver consumed the planet. Cyn made all the worker drones in Tessa’s mansion into murder drones because as strong as she is she’s still just one robot even with godlike Eldridge abilities she can still be overwhelmed by numbers so she needed an army to do her bidding. Also don’t be confused about how much of it is cyn bs the silver no one knows at this point they’re basically interchangeable. Cyn was the first and most perfect host.

[@He11raiser01]

Big finale coming up, I'm hyyyped!

[@ArchImperatrix]

N: "Whoa, Cyn! For an eldritch... uh, monster thingy" - Cyn: "The Solver of the Absolute Fabric, the Void, the Exponential End." -Episode 5 "Home"

[@A.please_insert_witty_text.M]

I think that was the Solver itself, and not Cyn. It clearly didn't seem to care much for him, unlike Cyn who has gone out of her way to preserve all her "friends", even if it is in an extremely morbid way.

[@Rumenix]

Cyn is the main host for the Absolute Solver but it's never answered how much of her personality is actually Cyn vs how much is the Absolute Solver. Her twisted affection for N makes me think that at least some part of Cyn is left in there, corrupted though it likely is. Or since everyone else in the show (besides J) likes N, maybe the Solver does too without needing Cyn's personality lol Doll is bleeding and has a ribcage because all drones possessed by the Solver eventually become biomechanical and have organic parts. J's corpse in episode 2 has organic matter and ribs as well, for example. Also the AI cores of Solver infected drones have the heart-like fleshy material around them (as seen with Nori this episode, as well as J's core in episode 2). As for Yeva: she's been dead for a long time. You see her corpse in episode 3 when Uzi, N, and V are investigating Doll's home after the fight at the prom. That's when you first see her name (her ID card, similar to the one you see for Nori at the start of the episode) and learn that she is Doll's mother. There aren't two entities. There has never been an "absolutesolver_cyn". The "ERROR: absolutesolver_trn" is an error that pops up when someone tries to use Solver powers on another Solver infected host. It's just the name of essentially a safety measure that the Solver installed in all the drones it possessed to prevent them from being able to use it's own powers against it, and the trn part is just the file extension of the program.

[@SpaceStationaryCORE]

I think it'd be fun to watch you re-watch! I'm sure you'll find out things you didn't fully realize beforehand in almost every episode!

[@Meh_thefifth-nm5zu]

Him: Absolutely not. Absolutely f*cking not. Also him: *proceeds to rewatch it 10 times*

[@deadlykitten6232]

Pretty sure the Blood comes from the absolute solver creating organic components, like the Uzi freak out back in Cabin Fever.

[@DarkRaikon]

14:33 i cant believe you missed the part where they sorta explain the church part.... 22:09 sin is the absolute solver(personality) 32:45 yes yeva is the mother of doll 43:00 Every drone that uses solver got organic matter in it 55:22 you can see the inside of copper 9 ...that's the plants core ....if it break more the plant is bye bye

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

9:25 Nora wasnt stabed in the face. When intern run for Dolls mom she killed everyone there beside person in priest clothes. And then cover everything with holograms. Thats why EVERYTHING in that scene was glitching. Nora was killed by Khan. He said that in first episode. "I used this wrench to tightend bolts on my first door prototype, and too put your mother out of her misery when murder drones got to her with their nanite acid". N said that he dont wanna hurt her bc thats what Tessa want to do. Destroy drones with solver.(at least thats what she said in previous episode) Yeah so basicaly... you remember flashback when Cyn said to Tessa that she didnt discarded robots, so she did not discard her?

[@SpaceStationaryCORE]

42:56 Like we saw in epsiode 2 with J's exposed rib cage, the drones are bio-mechanical, or at least the one's that are infected with/ contain solver software

[@kiwi6219]

This episode is cool but the 8 is a masterpiece.

[@kfphunter1315]

21:55 Absolute Solver is just cool virus programm that gives you Eldritch horror powers. It's Cyn's problem that she succumbed to hunger and went totally evil. Typical vampire hunger dilemma

[@Razgriz_01]

"Hey, you look familiar" - Nori And now we get the big hint that it was most likely N that killed Nori.

[@the_veemonator]

Tessa died in 1 of 2 ways. 1 is that J killed her in the gala, and then Cyn clicked her fingers and was then tepeported inside tessa, or Cyn clicked her fingers and Tessa just died on the spot. In ep 5 its shown that Cyn had the power to merge objects into 1. Thats what she did with herself and tessa, she merged each other together. Thats why Cyn can control the human fingers, thats why the skin looks stretched and not rotten after 20 years

[@roni_hey]

YEEEY, NEW VIDEO 🎉🎉 (I should be sleeping, but Matt's reaction is worth it...)

[@The_funny_person]

55 minutes of you being confused, can’t wait

[@vinnie666]

Genuinely impressive how much of the story you're just figuring out naturally... Most people miss a lot of what you've figured out. One more left.....gaaahh, i love ep 8. So excited!

[@SpaceStationaryCORE]

55:00 that's the core of Copper 9, and since it seems Uzi was ejected into space from the giant hole in the church lab I'm pretty sure that the hole lead into the core of the planet. So now that Cyn/ the solver has gotten to the core through the hole she's going to destroy everything there

[@Flugel_Halogen]

If you think Cynessa was cute now, but wait for the sheer adorableness in episode 8

[@AwakenedRAGEJustin]

21:25 in episode 5 at the end when they leave the memories uzi changed n and v’s admin from cyn to herself, thus was cyn trying to regain control over n, but she couldn’t because uzi is now n’s admin Edit: to the question of if its the solver or cyn, we just call it cyn for the sake of ease, but the actual cyn is dead, that is entirely the solver

[@Kishi43]

20:15 I’ve watched this show more than 20 times already and your the only person to find this thank you

[@Unclaimed_Username]

18:00 oh they are TOTALLY sent to kill humans. If you go back to EP4, to when N touched that Zombie Drones tape. You can see the flashbacks of what happened (minus Uzi's intervention in the memories). And one of the shots is Cyn eating a human hand. While the events in EP5 go differently because Memory!N has Crow!Uzi guiding him this time, the actual timeline has N finding his way to the gala after the events, where he sees Cyn gleefully devouring the humans there. Tessa was, as far as I know, the only survivor. And there's theories that Cyn had already fused herself to Tessa by then. But I can't tell if the Tessa in those shots has yellow or white eyes.

[@ZUnknownFox]

I'm excited to see your reaction to episode 8 but also you definitely picked up on so much more than most people on their first watch because 24 minutes in you called out that ending.

[@RibEyesProduction]

Fun fact: cyn was not wearing human any old humans parts. After the events in the mansion, Tessa ended up dying and cyn being so silly decided to skin her and wear Tessa’s skin

[@randomperson8375]

Fun Fact: Yes that is a robot wearing a flesh suit, but more specifically that is Cyn using Tessa's body as a human puppet. She killed a child and wore her skin because she knew that N loved Tessa and she wanted N to herself, but also because Tessa was seemingly the only human Cyn ever cared about as well. It's this sick, twisted love that leads Cyn to puppet Tessa's body like that, or at least that's how I see it anyways.

[@DarklightNamari]

I'm so happy someone else realized how disturbingly obsessive Cyn became over N! I been saying this for awhile and it seems a lot of people dont realize that Cyn is essentially just insanely obsessed over N to the point that she did something so depraved and horrific just to be what he wanted to have him to herself. Its also very noticeable that while masquerading as Tessa, she was clearly very jealous that Uzi had N's full attention too. What makes this even more intensely creepy is that, despite Cyn being so extremely fixated on N, she is more than willing to "discard" him if she cannot control him anymore and replace him with a "backup" clone of him and would moreso continue to do anything to maintain control over him to an absolutely unnerving length. Its really creepy tbh.

[@thethirdworld1829]

Cyn’s “skin” is actually tessa’s. She either killed Tessa in episode 5, or sometime after.

[@Luna_DT]

I love the ending lmao, just "what?"

[@kiwi6219]

42:07 the firts one that reach in this tip

[@randjforeverfriends2250]

I will always love the part at 53:23 just way uzi grab N hand to shake him awake

[@SpaceStationaryCORE]

38:34 Trn = Transform, as in transform object physically (this solver command cannot work on other solver objects, since it is the solver's failsafe logic to work that way)
