In New York City, Christina, a brunette woman who resembles Dolores Abernathy, works as a writer at Olympiad Entertainment, creating stories for the non-player characters in video games.
The company's higher-ups are skeptical of Christina's push to give her characters more pleasant and happier backstories, insisting that the public craves tales of darkness and self-destruction.
She confronts him for not dealing with his PTSD and engaging with his war buddies in various conspiracy theories, which she sees as dangerous to both her husband and the social development of their daughter.
Realizing that the war has begun again, Caleb has his friends keep watch over his family while he and Maeve depart to track down one of William's contacts.
A cover by Ramin Djawadi of the Lana Del Rey song "Video Games" plays into the credits at the end of the episode.
