A transitional episode; Matrix and AndrAIa connect with a new set of characters and embark on their return trip.
Since "Episode With No Name" there's been a steady increase in gunfire and general violence and jeopardy. This is the tone set for the Web episodes, and makes for less imaginative storytelling when it becomes a series of dangerous obstacles thrown in Matrix and AndrAIa's path.
Matrix demonstrates for the captain, changing his icon from game sprite mode back to Guardian. Now the Guardians are able to re-establish a lock on his icon and find him, but they don't come after him again. Matrix keeps his icon this way all the way back to Mainframe, where he'll eventually demonstrate for Old Man Pearson and change it to game sprite mode.
