WOAH
That should be the review... right there... just WOAH...
Ok, ok. We start out in Hong Kong (as seen from the ep Beyond The Sea; MoA's getting a little lazy with their places lately). Six and Rex are scouting out a building... or Six is. Rex is just there, being all bored. So, the attack happens. It's some Evo's (three) robbing a bank.
Oh, a side note, the Providence soldiers spoke Chinese, so that kinda proves that Providence has bases all over the world.
Anyway, these Evo's fight hard and end up getting away. Six orders his team to split up and we're off. Rex goes after one, but starts having flashbacks from the past (which is awesome) and ends up driving straight into a wall. An Evo jumps him and, suddenly,... recongnizes him... This guy knows Rex... and claims to have been his best friend. He asks Rex if he had another 'memory thing' again and Rex is like "... what?" Providence shows up and the guy leaves.
GREAT WTF MOMENT RIGHT THAR!
So, Rex asks White and Six for permission to go 'under cover' or basically a solo mission. Obviously, it's granted. So, Rex heads out to find these guys and with his flashbacks, heads right to them. He instantly picks a fight, but they just laugh it off... ha...? To make sure it's really Rex, they say 'ink check' and a tatoo appears on his arm. Apparently, he put it there. (they each have one)
So, they bring him back to their place and introduce themselves with a few explanations. The guy that's his best friend is Tof (?), the other guy is Squid, and the girl is Cricket. Cricket has a crush on him lol. They explain that he used to have a lot of times that he lost his memory and he kept a book (journal) where he stored... well, his life. They don't have his book, though. Apparently, back in the day, he was their gang leader and friend. Rex tells them that they have Providence after them now and need to get out, but they can't b/c of Quarry (a mob boss and another Evo).
A big guy shows up and threatens the group, cuz they obviously failed their heist, but Rex cures the guy and sends a message to Quarry, that those three are now free. The guy delivers the message and Quarry is... pleased to know that Rex is back... ERGH GAH WOW
So, Rex and group are basically hanging out and having fun, when they show up to Quarry's warehouse, where his toy's are kept (aka, super awesome cars). Being a car lover, I can tell you that a few of them are Lamborghini's. This guy's doing it right. So, dur, Rex calls the cops and they get taken back (lulz). Some baddies show up and Rex (with Cricket's help) kicks their butts. He promises to get them out of that life, but they don't look very convinced.
On their way home... their place gets blown up. Of course, Quarry shows up. And explains the... OMG MOMENT. Ok! Seriously!
Rex used to work for Quarry, outside of the group. He gained their trust and used them to get their money and such, then handed them over to Quarry. We know it's true because... Quarry has the journal... Rex sold out his friends... REX sold out his FRIENDS for MONEY. He doesn't remember any of it, but it's the truth. The three leave with Quarry and ditch Rex.
Rex nuts up. After his own personal pep-talk, he goes after them. First, he jumps two of Quarry's guys and sends out another message; he's coming for him... and he wants his book back... YES SIR! Next, he finds the group and follows them to Quarry's base. Then, infiltrates.
He fights off a ton of bad guys, then shows up to Quarry and his old gang. His old friends attack him, but Rex wins easily... Then he goes for Quarry. The dude tells Rex that all he wants is his book, but Rex destroys it and says that the past doesn't matter and who he was isn't who his is. That seemed like a stupid move, but whatever. I think he's taking Six's advise about rather not knowing at all. So, anyway, they fight. This guy is BAD. Rex almost gets beat, but his friends jump in and, with their help, beat Quarry. Rex let's them go free from Providence, too.
With the three free now, they say their farewells to Rex.
Tof: Don't forget us.
Rex: That may be a promise I can't keep.
So, we go back to Providence. Rex is talking to Holi and Six about his memory thing. Holiday says that most likely, Rex will forget everything again and it's probably triggered by something traumatic. Rex is just over joyed by hearing this (sarcasm). He says that he basically, just has to wait for it to happen.
Six: No, you just have to live.
Six tells him that when it happens, it happens, and they'll still be there for him.
Rex freaks anyway. He says that he'll forget that Holiday wears red shoes on Fridays and Six keeps weird tasting mints in his right inside pocket! It's serious stuff man! So, Six and Holiday give him a book, another journal. Rex is happy about it, to say the least. He says it's... paper... Kinda old fashioned.
Six: That's how I roll.
XD Awesome. Rex said that he kinda didn't want to remember the person he was, but that this life, the one at Providence, was pretty good. He evens gives them a real sincere 'thank you' and if that didn't touch your heart, NOTHING WILL.
He asks Six for a pen. Six digs in his jacket and hands it over to Rex, who was obviously kidding and didn't really think that Six actually had a pen on him.
Rex: How about a mint?
Six: Don't push your luck, kid.
What we learned:
- Uh, everything! Ok, ok, to sum it up.
- Rex was a somewhat jerk in his past life. What led him to be like this? dunno
- Rex has had memory relapses before. We don't know why this keeps happening. (A side effect of being an evo? Rylander did mention that he thought that might happen.) But it's for certain that it WILL happen again. So... that's gonna be an awesome episode.
- The new characters in this ep were amazing and I'm sure we'll see them again, at some point.
- ... The voice actors. MoA is SERIOUSLY putting the foot down on hiring the most famous voice actors ever. Especially, in this episode. The list is too long, so the best I can say is 'look it up'.
- Bobo wasn't in this ep... lol
- Six and Holiday are TOTALLY his parents! Or fake parents... whatever! I mean! Gah!
- A lot of the fandom assumptions kinda imploded with this episode. Like Six finding Rex in Abysus. That didn't happen apparently. It's also realized that Rex has only been with Providence for a little while, not the whole 5 years and all that. SO!... Yeah...
- That tatoo thing may show up again. Look out for that.
- Lastly, if you didn't watch this episode. WATCH IT! It's a VERY essential episode and answers MANY questions.
The next ep to be aired is The Hunter. There's already a review posted on that, so I'll see you guys again in two weeks with the review for episode 114 'Gravity'.
