The story so far
Everything you need before watching
Millie and Keys are still hunting the mysterious player in an NPC skin, but Keys says nobody else is in that house. Then a firefight blows open: Get down, pocket Glocks, a jump that may not fly. Cut to Antwan, who fires a staffer on camera, shrugs off Millie's lawsuit, and lectures that IPs and sequels are what people want, even admitting he was lying. Later Guy takes Molotov Girl to a quiet ice-cream corner: no missions here.
