Using Vander's iron gauntlets, Vi fights to protect the group just as Powder arrives on the scene. Milo begins picking the locks, but the trio soon discover it's a trap. Meanwhile, Vi, Milo, and Claggor infiltrate Silco's fish market and find Vander chained to a chair in a meat locker. Distraught and being left behind because she's too weak, Powder takes one of the mana gems and incorporates it into one of her makeshift grenades. Vi also gives her a flare that Powder can light if she gets into trouble, so Vi knows where to find her. Vi knows it's too dangerous, so she tells her to hide. She tells them what happened and the group resolves to go and save Vander. Vi arrives at The Last Drop and finds Milo, Claggor, and Powder preparing to fight the Enforcers. The Council needs to decide if Jayce's research, which he called Hextech, is now worth pursuing. "You've actually done it," Heimerdinger says, but before he can shut down the experiment, Mel Medarda arrives and says the decision isn't his to make. Just as Heimerdinger gets the door open, Jayce successfully creates a stable magical spell. Heimerdinger arrives with Enforcers and finds his lab barricaded while Jayce and Viktor complete their experiment. They're successful, and the mana gem activates without exploding-though nearly everyone in Piltover sees the unmistakable blue energy it radiates. She also wants in on the project, and offers to buy the duo the time they need to complete the next phase of their research and attempt to stabilize one of the mana gems. Jayce and Viktor arrive at Heimerdinger's lab in the dead of night and attempt to sneak in but are caught by Councilor Mel Medarda. Vander tries to persuade Silco away from war, but Silco simply believes Vander has lost his nerve. Silco managed to stab Vander using his own knife and escape, and the two have been enemies ever since. Silco had a cut on his face, and the river toxins are what scorched it and blackened his eye. Until Vander betrayed him by trying to drown him in one of the chemical-infused rivers of the Undercity. It's a dream, we discover, Vander and Silco once shared. To achieve that goal, he plans to use that mutant serum-called Shimmer-to "scare" Piltover into supplication. One that doesn't bow to the Council and Enforcers. Here, Silco reveals his ultimate goal: To transform the Undercity into a nation equal to Piltover in terms of power and influence. Fortunately, Echo saw where Silco and Deckard took Vander-the fish market that conceals Silco's underwater lab. She's rescued by Echo, who saw everything and is now traumatized by the death of his own adoptive father, Benzo. Vi doesn't stay trapped in that storeroom for long. Like Jayce, he wants to change the world. Viktor convinces Jayce to break into Heimerdinger's lab, explaining that he's not content with merely being the dean's assistant. (Image credit: Riot Games) Magical mayhemīack topside, Viktor and Jayce try to complete his research but can't without more of his confiscated equipment. Deckard knocks Vander out and takes him away with Silco, leaving Vi alone in the locked storeroom. Marcus says this wasn't the deal he and Silco had made, to which Silco replies, "Deals change," and hands him a bag of coins. It's Deckard, mutated from the serum he ingested in episode 2. Silco emerges from the fog and Benzo tries to attack him but is instantly slaughtered by a monster. Murdered, along with the rest of the Enforcers except Marcus. Outside, we see Grayson covered in blood. Climbing up to a storm window, she's just in time to see an Enforcer reduced to a bloody paste-gore spraying across the window and blocking her view. Vi struggles to free herself from the locked store room but stops when she hears shouting from outside. With no other option, the Enforcers arrest Vander and lead him outside. Vander offers himself as the sacrificial lamb, but Grayson is hesitant-she knows that he's the only one keeping the Undercity from falling into chaos. Just then, Grayson, Marcus, and their squad of Enforcers arrive.
