Posting my impressions on the episooode. So, we didn't get to see the riot, and the TV can still function without its glass.

Drinking Buddy got arrested.

I wonder who Drunk Man voted for.

I love the little detail that they actually animated Jaune's Aura level going back down when Nora slaps him on the back.

Once again, Nora is speaking up about Mantle. I really, really think she was born there.

Blake and Yang were hilarious in the dorm room scene. The writers really are finally doing Bumbleby stuff to actually build the relationship. Better late than never, I guess?

I like how, throughout the episode, they have Jacques' vote percentage steadily increase. I wonder if Watts was doing that so that people would find it more believable that Jacques suddenly won at the last second.

So, Nora and Ren really are having an issue with their relationship. Hopefully we'll find out what's bothering Ren.

Penny's painful fist bump was great.

Anyone else think May (the blue hair one) could be a trans woman, especially since she's voiced by Kdin Jenzen? For those who don't know, Kdin is an employee at Rooster Teeth who came out as a trans woman some time ago.

Renora KIIIIISSSSSSS

Ohhh shiiiiit... Watching this episode a second time, I realized that Watts was editing the footage of the attack in real time, using the live drone feed of Tyrian and recorded footage of Penny in Mantle to replace Tyrian with Penny. The way that Tyrian and Penny are outlined in the videos makes me think that this is what Watts' part in the opening sequence is referring to, with how that part of the opening shows an outlined silhouette of Tyrian.
