A flash of a falling meteor, and that prosecutes a family in the guise of giving more freedom to Borderlanders, of which even if it's not from Rubber Suit, its remnants are still alive, vying a vote from the government for secret bills like these. The symbol, which Zeno fears the worst that targets 5-year-olds, his son was targeted the same way, but with the case left unresolved for years, it's possible that his son may have already been dead. And now, the same kidnapping case is back again, with flying humanoid Borderlanders looking likely to be the culprits. With one captured, Zeno wants all his questions answered from the shape-shifting woman but forcing it on her isn't going to necessarily bring out any kind of change, considering his feud from years ago.

Even as Brian, Bolts and Robin are drugged by Zeno not to interfere with his case, Zeno doesn't stop and instead, brings the Borderlander woman Isabella to his former house for interrogation. The former "legendary" detective who lost his family within the span of a few nights, and indeed, Zeno's son, along with the other kidnapped children, they were still alive from a maid whom like Zeno, was obsessive with the case. Turns out, Isabella was also on the Marginal Serivce's side of stopping the bill, but at the very least, the case is closed from another perspective...but the bill is passed.

The key to the case 10 years ago, does Isabella know?

We got a look at Zeno's past as he was a victim of his child being abducted which led him to loosing his wife. Zeno goes out of his way to track down the shapeshifter Isebella who turns out that she was not involved in the current kidnapping case, but knows something about that symbol that was left behind in the abducted child's room.

God, even if his reasons this time were more understandable, Zeno is really getting on my nerves with his complete lack of trust on everybody else.

We finally have Zeno's backstory and it's understandable how he became the cold aloof person he is today. The maid twist is stupid though even if it's just a setup for the Harp Borderlander and Rubber's final arc

Zeno went from crazy, to a little growth, and then immediately back to crazy lol

They negated everything they did with him this ep, also please let the Harpy Girl just know about it and not an actual culprit, i still want her to join the team so we get more of her
