The Gray is the name of the gas being used by the enforcers as found by the Kiramman family key
The enforcers find the numbers man tied in the tunnels forced to breath the gray until the 3 enforcers are told to take him above for arrest
Amara visits Ambessa and tries to kill her but fails that and is killed herself (though she says it does not matter)
Cait and Vi continue to search for Jinx alone (after debating it and Vi begging Cait not to change)
Ambessa is desperate now to avenge her son and protect her daughter so she calls a meeting of nobles via manipulating Salo and keeping Mel out of it
Salo was being tattooed using shimmer by Lest (Mel's informant) when Ambessa interupts to manipulate and plan
Mel meets with Lest and convinces them to tell her what was overheard
Cait and Vi find traces leading to Jinx
Jayce explains Wild Runes vs hextech runes to Ekko (language differences and where they occur)
Ekko hypothesizes Jayce pissed off the arcane by overusing it and Heimerdinger agrees its a possibility (not actually mankind but inherant to the arcane)
Jayce comes to a realization once he says Why Now and Why Deep Underground which Heimerdinger affirms
Mel and Elora discuss her mother's mindset and plans being foolish due to desperation and Elora is sent for info on the shimmer brush and to check on Amara
Heimerdinger, Ekko, and Jayce head down to the deepest part of the Hexgates
Cait and Vi find Jinx's "hiding" place
Jayce opens the door to gemstone mesh and during their conversation unintentionally explains their failsafe would ruin life for Zaun citizens
Heimerdinger sees the hex/wild runes on the ground and then the world around them turns almost pure white
The sisters confirm they don't have a familial relationship anymore
Jinx avoids a shot and the fight begins with Savika attacking Cait (Isha watches from above)
After a moment Jayce reaches for the ball of hex/hexcore and everything begins to glitch and appears to cause hallucinations with anyone near the gemstone mesh or using the hextech (or similar)
Jayce mid-fight uses his hammer on the gemstone mesh/hexcore which briefly appears to be in Viktor's hands causing everything to glitch far worse than before.
Cait and Sevika fight with Cait winning due to the glitching, Vi and Jinx fight with Vi almost winning until Isha grabs Jinx' gun and blocks Vi by covering Jinx and aiming for her jaw
Cait tries to shoot Jinx even with Isha clinging to Jinx' upper body and head but Vi stops her because there's a child at risk
Sevika sets off the bomb exploding a wall and releasing gas and/or paint(?) bombs all across Piltover
Vi protects Cait, Sevika protects Jinx who protects Isha (unclear if she holds on willingly or because Isha hadnt let go)
Cait rejects Vi and hurts her before leaving, Vi stays in the tunnels sat in despair
Mel has the information on the brush from Elora and is about to use it when Amara's guild possess Elora and capture Mel
Salo summons the nobles with Ambessa and the enforcers present
Ambessa makes a speech about family and states they need martial law and a general
She then names Caitlyn the right person and everyone follows her lead in showing their support after some hesitance
Either Caitlyn realizes Ambessa was behind the attack at the memorial or the show's audience is now in the know about it
Maddie Nolan supports, Blue(?) is unsure, and Beard(?) leaves
Cait agrees to become general and takes on her new job with determination and anger
Mysterious Scientist (more sure its guy who saved Jinx. Singed?) is testing on himself and potentially added blood to the shimmer/gray concoction he was working on
