Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Janet tries to reunite Chase and Karolina with her in the Algorithm, while Alex tries to free them from the outside using the Abstract. Stacey pays a visit to Dale and Gert, and Xavin warns that the Runaways are still in danger.
Our Take
A mostly transitional hour that splits its time between the digital rescue mission and some welcome comic relief from Stacey and Dale. The Algorithm scenes look surprisingly decent for a CW-adjacent budget, though the pacing sags whenever Alex is stuck reading exposition out of the Abstract. Worth watching for the character beats, but don’t expect much forward momentum on the season’s bigger plot.
