Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The kids take refuge on the streets after their parents have the police come after them. After Chase’s Fistigons and the group’s money is stolen, Alex goes back to Darius for cash but has to repay him with a favor. While chasing the Fistigon thief, the Runaways find a new hideout.
Our Take
A slow, scruffy start to the season that spends most of its runtime on street-level survival instead of moving anything forward. The Alex and Darius subplot is the only thread with real tension, though the Fistigon chase feels like filler. Fine if you like watching these characters bounce off each other, but don’t expect much plot payoff for the wait.
