Longform Summaries
Missing: e7, e8
beginning:
Violet and Jinx’s parents are killed by an enforcer. Vi squeezes her younger sister’s hand. Vi cries seeing her mother’s body. They meet Vander. Vi can process the trauma and is devastated, but young Powder just internalizes it, hugging her sister’s arm. Vi’s hatred of enforcers and Piltover is born.
Time skip, Vi is a teen and Powder is a gangly preteen. Heavyset Claggor and rail thin Milo make up the other two members of their team, four kids who run around low level thieving for profit.
Vi has higher aspirations for their next job, and they all go up to the city above, Piltover, to break into a place that the kid that works in the pawn shop mentioned as having a rich owner.
They break into the inventor’s penthouse and steal a bunch of stuff.
Powder goes exploring and finds a chest full of glowing orbs. She grabs as many of these as she can. On their way out she drops one and it explodes, devastating a good portion of the building.
They get into a fight once they get back home in Vaun. Some low lives were tailing them, and Powder sees violence for the first time? lol
Milo calls Powder a Jinx after she loses the loot by flinging it into the water. He’s generally quite critical of her.
Meanwhile, Vander lectures Vi not to be reckless, and that they need to lie low for a while.
After, Vander takes claggor with him to a pawn shop to get him to explain what happened.
meanwhile, Milo talks to Vi about Powder screwing up every mission. Vi defends her, but Powder hears her agreeing with him, missing the followup context, and assumes Vi thinks she is a screwup.
He’s in the process of selling the kids’ stolen trinkets to the pawn shop owner when enforcers come to meet him. An enforcer woman named Grayson talks with her one on one. She asks him to give her a culprit to make a show of it, and make the people feel safe, and she won’t bring an army of enforcers down to Vaun.
Sweet sibling scene where Vi says she believes in Powder.
Silco captured the leader of the group tailing the kids and tortured him for info. Silco concluded that Vander was in trouble.
Silco’s chemist underling invents Shimmer, a substance which makes its subjects monstrous, strong and savage.
Silco decides to inject his hostage with Shimmer as an experiment.
(same time as the kids break-in, from perspective of the penthouse’s returning owners)
Caitlyn brings a box full of things hauled from ‘the undercity’ (Vaun) and chats with an unknown male character. He hears someone inside and realizes someone’s breaking into his penthouse. His name is Jayce.
Cut to another scene. A magician finds a young boy and his mother freezing to death, collapsed. He uses magic and teleports them (presumably) to another world. The boy is grateful.
Cut back. Jayce is being interviewed by enforcer Grayson. She asks him how he got some of the materials he has, which requires a permit, he says it’s independent study. He meets Viktor, assistant to the dean of the academy, who asks him who permitted the research. (Jayce asks who he is.) They take him away in handcuffs to be dealt with by the council, determining he could be dangerous based off of the explosion caused by his research.
Jayce is chastised by councilman & professor Heimerdinger, the 307 year old elder. He tells him the arcane is dangerous and cannot be controlled by science. He tells him to own up to his mistakes and admit his work was dangerous without mentioning anything about magic.
Cut scene to Vi practicing punching on a sparring machine. Milo is griping about Powder fixing the machines and causing him to miss the targets. Powder pops up out of nowhere and reconnects the power to more machines. Milo asks Vi not to take powder next time, and she shoots every practice target in their every vital area. Meanwhile, enforcers outside ask for a name. Someone is thrown through a window. Vi pulls powder away with her, as they run from enforcers. Ekko appears and helps them escape.
Cut scene to counselor Midarda, who’s sizing up some little inventions. The assistant introduces her to Jayce, whose family became rich through their design of the collapsable pocketwrench.
Cut scene to Caitlyn, who is defending her friend Jayce to her disapproving parents. She insists they try to help him. They agree as his patrons.
Cut scene to Sevika and the bar members, who want to start a fight with the enforcers. Viktor insists they look out for each other. Sevika says that he looks weak. Vi asks Ekko what’s going on, and her replies Vander has a deal with the enforcers. (It’s implied that Jayce wouldn’t normally be the one in custody, except topside needs a scapegoat, so enforcer Grayson chose Jayce.) Cut to the counselors, two of which are mildly quabbling. In comes Jayce. His full name is revealed as Jayce Talis, who is accused of illegal experimentation and endangering the citizens of Piltover.
Cait’s mother, a councilwoman, speaks on his behalf. Another councilmember scoffs. Heimerdinger defends him. Jayce claims his work was revolutionary. The third councilwoman asks him how his work was revolutionary. The council expresses doubts, and Jayce says he was trying to create magic. Heimerdinger cringes (says Arcane talents are something that can be fabricated, not just born with. They argue, Heimerdinger claims it can destroy civilizations in the wrong hands. Others agree that ‘their city was founded to escape the warmongering of mages, not cultivate it.’ Banishment is proposed. His mother makes the insanity plea on his behalf.
(Meanwhile, Powder still has all of his stolen research, the blue orbs, with her…)
Heimerdinger proposes he simply be expelled from the academy and taken home. He’s never allowed to set foot on academy grounds again.
Meanwhile, in a big empty warehouse, an enforcer named Marcus speaks with Silco.
Cut back to Jayce, who is sulking.
Cut to councilman Heimerdinger and Viktor who are talking about his research. (it will be disposed of.)
In the meanwhile, in a chamber below the water, Silco is giving the spy boy Shimmer.
‘There’s a monster inside all of us.’
We see that the basement of the chamber below the water is somehow connected to the big empty warehouse.
Jayce goes to see Caitlyn, who says he’s now a misfit. They very briefly talk. Caitlyn’s mother tells her to come inside, leaving Jayce out in the rain.
The counselors are questioning the leaders of the enforcers, who still haven’t found the culprits (or a good scapegoat.)
Meanwhile, Viktor is visited by the male enforcer, Marcus, looking for “four sumprats.” He has his men search the place. Claggor, Mylo, Vi and Powder all hide. Marcus threatens Viktor, saying he spoke to an old friend of his. Nothing was found in the search. Marcus continues insulting Viktor and leaves. Viktor checks on the kids. Ekko is with them. Vi says she wants to fight back against the enforcers. She says she wants Powder to have more than that. It’s revealed that Viktor lead the attack that resulted in violent Enforcer retaliation and got a bunch of undercity citizens killed, including Vi and Powder’s parents. He tells her nobody wins in war. Pain, hurt, and anger fester in Vi’s eyes.
Meanwhile Jayce goes to the edge of a tall building and readies to throw himself off. Viktor interrupts him. He claims his research is interesting, and wants to help him. He says he thinks Jayce is onto something and wants to help him complete the research. He tells him “When you’re going to change the world, don’t ask for permission.” Viktor offers Jayce his wristlet with the magic stone back (the one that saved him and his mother.)
cut back to Vi telling Powder her differences are her strengths.
Vander finds Vi and says some parting words. He pushes her into the basement, locks her in, and submits himself for arrest to the enforcers.
Grayson is reluctant to arrest Vander, knowing he holds together the underground. He claims the council needs its pound of flesh. She asks why, and he responds it’s the only way. (he is protecting his kids.)
Vi rushes to the basement window, desperate for any sign of what’s going on, and it is shortly thereafter drenched in blood. Cut scene to outside. Grayson and all the other enforcers have been killed. Silco materializes out of green fog. He kills Benzo. Marcus protests that this wasn’t the deal, Silco replies deal’s changed. Vi freaks out. Silco has a shimmer drugged Deckard knock Vander out with a punch and takes him captive.
Scene cuts to Jayce and Viktor. They figure out the secret to the crystals, as Viktor finishes up drawing some equations on a blackboard. The crystals only stabilize at a high frequency, when he was trying to dampen the oscillations. They have to “crank it,” as Jayce puts it. They can’t test their equations to be sure they work in real life because Jayce’s equipment along with all of his older research is scheduled to destroyed the following day. They need the crystals. Viktor takes out some keys, insinuating they steal back the research from Heimerdinger’s lab.
Cut back to Vi. Ekko unlocks the door. He’s as upset as Vi, claiming he saw everything. He cries over the death of Benzo, who had been his mentor figure. Vi asks what happened to Vander, Ekko says they took him. Vi asks where, scene cut to a creepy dilapidated warehouse.
From Vander’s pov. He’s being dragged in shackles by the wrists, semiconscious. The blonde man, named Deckard, follows behind him. Below them, men are forging weapons and Shimmer is being produced in a lab.
Vander claims they can never win a war against Piltover, even with the weapons. Silco says he knows, and they don’t need to- they only need to scare them badly enough to never again set foot in Vaun. Vander says that he will get people killed, and asks him what for, pride? Silco answers no; respect.
It’s revealed that Silco and Vander once worked together, and shared a vision of freedom for a Vaun, united as a nation. Silco says that Vander betrayed him. Flashback to Vander strangling him underwater. Vander says he regrets it deeply, and Silco was (past tense) like a brother to him. Silco says Vander had his respect until he made peace with the enforcers. Vander says he had no choice, and Silco shows him a vial of shimmer, claiming they have the power now to realize their dream. Vander refuses, asks him to spare the lanes. Silco asks him if he will die for the cause, will he not fight for one? Vander responds he’s just not that man anymore.
Cut scene back to Jayce and Viktor trying to steal back Jayce’s stuff from Heimerdinger’s office. They’re intercepted by councilwoman Mel Medarda. She says it’s impressive that they’re willing to risk exile for their cause. Jayce says they can prove that it works, and Mel asks how, as they couldn’t do so earlier that day. Viktor replies that they figured out how to stabilize it (hextech crystals.) Mel says the potential scares the council, and they would see it destroyed. Jayce pleads for a chance. Mel gives them one night, telling them to impress her- or otherwise pack their bags.
Cut back to Claggor and Mylo, who are looking at a pile of Vander’s weapons, calling dibs and prepping for a fight enthusiastically. Powder is in bed, sulking as she pets her stuffed rabbit. Vi returns. She reaches for Vander’s weapons. They boys ask for an explanation, she says Benzo’s dead. She says they took Vander, and needs to find him. They decide to leave Powder behind.
Meanwhile, Jayce finishes some soldering and tests his invention. Viktor claims the resonance will stabilize it.
Meanwhile, Powder freaks out.
Vi, Mylo and Claggor break Vander out of his shackles. Silco appears and threatens them. Vi fights an onslaught of Silco’s thugs using Vander’s gauntlets. Meanwhile, claggor and Mylo attempt to break Vander out of prison. All the while, Powder climbs the side of the building. Vi violently knocks out the last of them, meanwhile a shimmer drugged Deckard rises to challenge Vi. Powder looks terrified from sidelines. Vi manages to escape, and powder takes out her newly concocted weaponry.Vi closes the heavy iron door behind her, locking herself into Vander’s prison cell.
Meanwhile Jayce and Vander are working on stabilizing the device, all the while Heimerdinger bangs on the door, demanding entrance. The thing overloads with energy and breaks the containing device. It has a kind of antigravity effect in the near vicinity.
Meanwhile, Powder loads the monkey with unstable hextech crystals, begging it to work. Claggor continues punching the concrete, trying to tunnel out of prison. He manages to push a brick out of place, affording him a glimpse into their possible escape route. Powder winds the monkey and sets it down, where it approaches the drugged Deckard, who is violently trying to break into the prison cell. He sees the monkey and stares at it. Claggor finally breaks free, Mylo finally picks Vander’s lock, and Vander sits up and looks at Vi. At that very instant, the monkey bomb blows, sending out a huge shock of energy that throws powder back from the watertight door where she was watching. The explosion bulldozes the shimmer lab, destroying a bunch of it. Claggor and Mylo are killed. Powder smiles faintly, eyes wide open, happy that the bomb worked- not yet knowing about the deaths it caused. Vander, on his last legs, sees the kids beneath the rubble and is heartbroken.
Deckard is uninjured, so is Silco, who commands him to “kill them.”
Vander rises from beneath rubble to fight Deckard with a piece of curved metal. Everything below them (weapon forge, chemistry setup) has been consumed by flames thanks to Powder’s explosion.
Vi cries harder seeing the monkey bomb’s head.
Silco stabs Vander in the back, and Vander catches him around the neck, reflecting his original betrayal back when he attempted to drown-strangle Silco. Silco stabs him in the stomach. His weapon falls from his hand, and Vander slumps, releasing Silco’s throat.
Silco says he knew he still had it in him, and throws him into the flames.
Silco tells Deckard to find the girl.
Vander rises from the depths of the flames, having drank a quantity of shimmer to fight. Vi sees him. He yells at Silco then grabs Vi to save her life, jumping out the window just as an explosion occurs.
Vander takes his last breaths, telling Vi to take care of powder before dying. Vi roars in grief and anguish.
Powder comes up behind her, yelling about how her monkey bomb worked in excitement.
Powder frowns at Vander, probably not recognizing him.
Powder finally realizes, beginning to cry, saying she didn’t mean to, and she was saving Vi. She looks at Claggor’s bloodstained goggles. She cries that she only wanted to help.
Vi says she told her to stay away.
She cries, approaching Vi, and Vi repeats herself, slugging her. She cries “why did you leave me?” and Vi answers, “Because you’re a Jinx.” She claims Mylo was right. Vi relents, realizing/regretting what she did.
Powder cries, “Violet please,” and Vi leaves, a tear streaking her face.
Vi is captured by Marcus, drugged and put under.
Powder disavows Vi, and lurches forward to hug Silco.
Heimerdinger lectures Jayce on an important deceased councilmember.
Heimerdinger says he deserves the honor of giving the speech, as his hexgates have allowed commerce to flourish and scholars to communicate, etc.
A ship is shown going through the hexgates.
Progress day. Car, metallic butterfly.
Cut scene to guards being paid off to smuggle drugs. Sevika drops money on his clipboard and he stamps approval.
Firelights appear, mess up the shimmer, and head below deck. Powder traps them.
She KO’s and possibly kills a bunch of firelights & kills a pink haired girl.
Meanwhile Jayce and Viktor give councilman Heimerdinger a presentation on their new stabilized crystals.
Caitlyn takes photos of the crime scene. Marcus appears and tells her to take the late shift at the fair instead of looking for more work for herself.
-
Mel talks to Jayce. She has spoken to several potential investors. She asks Jayce to tell them about the new hextech crystals.
Jayce makes the speech, but doesn’t introduce the new hextech crystals yet.
Jinx kills a bunch of enforcers with a bomb.
The counselors have a meeting.

Jinx says she can’t complete the weapon. “Fear haunts us all, child.”
Silco takes her to the water where he almost drowned.
Sevika gets into a fight with Vi.
Jinx completes a functioning prototype of a generator to power the weapon.
Child Viktor makes a steamboat. He follows it downriver to a cave where he meets a mysterious man. It turns out to be Singed. Young Viktor offers to assist him; Singed accepts.
Viktor looks out on the city and Professor Heimerdinger joins him. Viktor espresses his doubts and insecurities to him. “It’s a sad truth that those who shine brightest often burn the fastest.”
-
Mel paints in egg tempera. Jayce apologizes for running off after sleeping with her. He reveals that Viktor’s dying.
Mel reveals she was an exile from her family.
-
Viktor stares at the hex orb, remembering accidentally spilling blood over it. He moves to touch it again.
-
Meanwhile, Jinx asks Thieram for information.
“Boss wants us to grab someone.”
“Someone? Anyone? Who you grabbing?”
“I mean- I mean not… I’m not grabbing girls. Uh, other than… those ones… I guess.”
“Focus. Who are they? Why wasn’t I invited to the party?”
“Uh, I don’t know. They… they got in a fight with Sevika. They did a number on her.”
“Oh really? Which number?”
“It… it’s like a saying…”
(condescending tone)
“You’re doing great, Chuck.” (pats back.) “Here, for your troubles.”
Cut back to Cait and Vi. Vi falls down a hole, Cait follows after her.
Sevika reports that they lost “her,” referring to Vi (and Cait.)
Jinx gasses Sevika. Sevika wakes up tied to a chair, slapped awake by Jinx.
Sevika reveals that her sister is back and looking for her.
“It’s not what you think. She’s with some girl enforcer. Guess she replaced you.” (nasty grin)
“You’re lying,” (quaver in voice.)
“Why bother. Her back in town, it’s only a matter of time before you implode,”
(Jinx pushing her away with her feet)
“…and Silco finally gets the message that you’re about as good for our cause as you were for your family,”
(jinx fakes crying and then sneezes violently on her face.)
Jinx says she thinks she knows just how to deliver that message. She spins her around in the chair.
‘The monster you created’
((Maybe Sevika allowed Jinx to capture Silco or helped? Probably not. Sevika hated Jinx and was loyal to Silco.))
She’s left to ‘clean up the mess,’ as pointed out by Finn (intimidating looking asian guy w/ metal jaw.)
Jinx to answer for her crimes is the deal from Jayce. Jinx, the real culprit. Silco has to be the leader, so Jayce is reluctant to say that he can’t “rot behind bars” as he’d like. “we can’t make a deal with a snake and cut off its head.”
scene change to Ekko’s haven.
“Firelights!” “It’s not enough to give people what they need to survive, you have to give them what they need to live!”
Scene change, Silco by Vander’s fountain.
Silco reflects. “the boy didn’t even haggle… and what do I lose but problems?” “Oh, it all makes sense now, brother. Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?”
Vi throws down the gauntlet at Sevika, challenging her to a fight. Sevika accepts, loading her mecha arm with a fresh supply of shimmer. Vi has both gauntlets. She gets badly beaten down by Sevika. Imaginary Vander: “She still needs you. They all do.”
Jinx- “Bravo, sis.” (knocks her on the back of the head.) <—- what’s Jinx’s resolution here?
Vi wakes up, staring at some sparklers attached to some kind of device that looks like a planetary model.
