The Rumour of Juno

Both factions now have enough to understand what they're looking at. The episode follows the moment each comprehends the full implication of the merge technique - what it would mean, what it would cost, the world it would make. Vane sits alone for a long time after Nico's briefing. Mordred's reaction is a slow, almost mournful smile. The name Juno is spoken for the first time. Both factions then mobilise simultaneously toward the same unremarkable address in Deptford. The final sequence cuts between two convoys moving through London at night and Juno herself - ordinary, unhurried, microwaving leftovers, watching television, completely unaware. Her face in the blue television light. Then the convoy headlights. Cut to Liam. He and Lilith share a quiet evening at home. She falls asleep on the sofa with her head on his shoulder. For just a moment, the weight of the world lifts from his shoulders, as he's reminded what it feels like to be free, and why he choose to take this path.
