Scene opens to an outside view of the school

Balloon letters arranged to form "PROM 3071" in a large room, lights are extinguished one by one

In the hallway, the lights continue flickering as the screen changes to show four "Missing" posters". A female Worker Drone pants, running down the hallway. She stops short to an unknown force that shatters her glasses. A nearby security camera is surrounded by a red glow and forcefully turns toward the wall.

Doll appears farther down the hall, the same red energy crackling through her fingertips. With one swipe, she yanks the Worker Drone's arm from her body. Slowly approaching the Worker, she reveals a cleaver knife that shifts to a quantity of three. She tosses the cleaver knife towards the camera and the screen goes black.

Scene shifts to Doll's home wherein two robotic bugs scutter across the floor. One attacks the other, but is soon squished by Doll as she enters.

Doll opens her book bag and places holographic books onto a nearby bookshelf. She crosses a name off of a list of prom queen candidates - presumably the name of the Worker Drone whom she had previously dismembered at the beginning of the episode.

Doll: Мам, Пап, я вернулась. (I'm back, Mom, Dad.)

Cut to Uzi dreaming/remembering her previous interaction with you and N

Uzi: What... are you things? 

[Back to present]

Text on Uzi's face: SLEEP MODE [GUILT: ACTIVE]

Uzi wakes up on the floor with piles of papers and books surrounding her. Camera pans to a large wall with an assortment of numerous documents, specifically a card made by N that features a crude drawing of him, her, and you and lets out a long groan.

She does this throughout the school day. In class, in the gym (As she gets hit by a dodgeball, though this barely snaps her out of it), and finally, at her locker. Rebecca walks by and knocks Uzi off the small stack of books she was standing on to reach her locker door.

Rebecca: Yeah, meeting Brad in an hour.

Uzi takes one of her books and hurls it at Rebecca.

Rebecca: Can you imagine going to prom alone?

Uzi's book hits Braiden instead, who's head is still on fire from when Uzi toke over his sentience.

Trevor: Ha, I'd be all like, "I don't deserve happiness."

Uzi sighs, picks up her book, and turns to leave. She stops when some missing persons posters get her attention. She looks over to see a janitor cleaning up an oil spill, then upwards to see a security camera glitching. Cackling, she snags the posters and rushes back home to put them on the ceiling. But to her shock, the papers that were on the ceiling before are now gone.

It turns out Khan had taken them and placed them in a closet labeled "NORI'S KOOKY INSANE STUFF". 

A/N: Jesus, does Khan hate his whole family?

As he leaves, he spots Uzi sulking in a corner.

Uzi: (Turns and runs to Khan angrily) My crazed ramblings! Stay outta my freaking room!

Khan: Personal space for a very alarming coping mechanism isn't covered under a (Consults his manual) "non-optional family support structure".

Uzi: (Smacks the manual out of his hands) I'm sorry for being vulnerable for five seconds, okay!? You were never there for me. If you wanna help now, stay distant.

Khan doesn't respond.

Uzi: (Sighs) I'm going to talk to N and Y/N. (She nearly trips over a child's skeleton wearing a dress.) Whaaaaat is this?!

Khan: Prom dress. Child's small. You're grounded from seeing those bad influencing murder drones.

Uzi: Huh?

Khan: But, I talked to your teacher to find you classmates to go with tonight!

Uzi: HUH?!

Khan opens a door, revealing Lizzy and Doll.

Lizzy: 'Sup, freak. Prepare to be popular.

Khan: (Putting on a bow tie) I'm chaperoning! 

Uzi screams at all of this.

A/N: I'm just glad my parents didn't chaperone at any of my school dances.

Cut to the landing pod where three frozen skeletons are shown. One wears a red, sparkling dress, while the other two wear tuxedos.

N: I do want to be dapper... But no! That's why you had us find these? 

Y/N: We can't interact with the workers anymore, V.

 You flash back to Uzi rejecting your help and looking genuinely terrified.

Y/N: We're too dangerous...

V: Uh, exactly. We show up *fabulous*-

V: The sad purple one lets us in, cause she has no friends, we kill everyone, pop her little head-off, Y/N and I neck on the dance floor-

Y/N: What are you talking about?!

V: What? It's the least we could do since you didn't bother doing a promposal for me.

Y/N: We're not bringing you for prom murder, V. J went holo-spooky-snake-crab and we maybe grew up in a haunted mansion! 

N: Aren't you worried we have no idea what we even are?!

No response as V looks away from the two of you.

Y/N: ...V? Are you ok?

V: ...Promise me you and that purple thing will stop prying into that stuff.

Y/N: Why? V, what are so afraid of?

You put your hand on her shoulder and kneel down next to her.

V: If you free me now, I promise we'll only kill what we need to survive. Just the three of us. Doing our own thing.

Your eyes flit over to the key on the wall.

(Cut to Uzi, Lizzy, and Doll arriving at Doll's house.)

Lizzy: (Grossed out by her surroundings) Ugh. Doll, do you ever clean?

Doll: Я повесила простынь. Они спят. (I put a sheet up. They're sleeping.)

Uzi avoids stepping on a bug. She starts to get freaked out by the place.

Uzi: Hey, so, thanks for having me, but now that my dad thinks I'm here, I'm actually gonna- (The door closes before she could bail out.)

Lizzy: You're hilarious. (To Doll) She's hilarious. (Back to Uzi) You should get ready. You're gonna look so cute, in a brave way.

Uzi turns, and Doll magically appears in front of her. Creeped out, Uzi looks down at a trash can next to Doll, which contains more missing persons posters, causing her to become suspicious and even more uncomfortable.

Doll: Ванная по коридору налево. (Bathroom is down the hall to the left.)

Uzi backs away slowly, groaning.

Cut back to you, N, and V

N: V, if you're hiding something, we can figure it out together. Even if we each only have pieces. Please, what do you know- (V slices his head off.)

Y/N: V, what are you doing?! What the frick is the matter with you?! 

You're cut off as she impales you with her claws. You collapse on the ground and try to raise your arm as V moves next to you.

V: Believe it or not, I'm doing what's next for you. Even if you hate me for it.

She gives you a surprisingly gentle kiss on the cheek and flies off as you lose consciousness.

Cut back to Uzi in the bathroom, looking in the mirror as her eye changes into the Absolute Solver symbol.

Uzi: Easy, Robo-Satan. Not this mirror.

The mirror suddenly breaks. She climbs up and hears talking on the other side.

Lizzy: (Muffled) Dude, no one will notice she's missing. Just do your thing, and I'll let in V. We'll see you there.

Uzi: What the f-

She hears something else. A dripping noise. She looks over and sees not oil, but blood dripping from the tub. She goes to investigate. She pulls back the curtain.

Back at the landing pod, where you and N wake up.

N: Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no...! 

Y/N: Come on! We gotta get after V before she goes full "Carrie" at the prom.

As you leave, he looks back at the skeletons. Then tries to leave again. Then looks back.

Y/N: N, no time!

He leaves... Then peeks his head back down. 

N: Dapper N...

Meanwhile, Uzi is disgusted to find Doll's tub is filled with corpses, mirrors, and photos covered in blood. She suddenly hears footsteps. She looks up at a ventilation shaft.

Doll enters the bathroom only to find that Uzi has escaped by building a ladder out of some of the materials in the tub.

Doll: Как они по-русски любят говорить... "Ой, я должна была предположить, что кто-то сможет убежать через вентиляцию, используя выброшенные зеркала как ступеньки." (As they say in Russian... "Whoops, I should've predicted that someone could escape out of a ventilation shaft using discarded mirrors as stairs."

Outside, Uzi is running through the snow when she collides with you now wearing a Tux.

Uzi: Y?!

Y/N: Uzi?!

N: ...N!

You go to help her up as you start speaking at the same time

Uzi: Why are- Y/N You look-

Uzi: How did- Y/N: I, uh-

Uzi: I think something bad-

Y/N: We could help. (walks off muttering under your breath) If you aren't still rightfully terrified of me.

Uzi: No, I could use the help... of you... being there... (blushing) with me...

Y/N: (blushing) Uzi, I-

N runs up and pushes the two of you closer together

N: Dapper buddies! 

The two of you nudge him away, but smile. Happy to be friends again.

Uzi: UWU.

Cut to the prom. A Male worker drone is shown doing the "robot" before he gets slapped by his date. A punch bowl is set up with a sign that says "Decoration only. You will super die". Thad is shown on the dance floor before he shoots finger-guns at his teacher, who only rolls his eyes and drinks from his flask.

Khan is shown scanning the dance floor, worried that Uzi is nowhere in sight. Lizzy walks on stage wearing her dress.

Lizzy: Okay, listen up, nerds. We're doing this a little early, but since the entire prom court "mysteriously" disappeared, your queen by forfeit is uh, this.

V drops in, terrifying everyone.

Guy: Oh, we're gonna die!

Lizzy: Easy, judgey bots, V is my friend. She's done with the murder or whatever. We've been hanging.

As Lizzy speaks, a screen projects photos of her and V hanging out; V outside Lizzy's window, building a snowman and using a skull for the head, and tormenting other girls in the bathroom.

V: Yes, best friends. So easily manipulated... (She begins cackling, then stops.) Prom queen? (She looks at a nervous Lizzy, then over to the crown that's supposed to be given to her.) Ugh...

Holding a list, Doll chuckles evilly.

Lizzy: So, forgive and forget, or I'll get my dad to dock your freakin' grades! (Points) And you can't sit with us, Rebecca.

Rebecca: ...Fine, I forgive her, settle...!

Everyone applauds.

Guy: She's quite cute, though.

Lizzy: Clap harder, losers!

Penny: (To V) Your dress is really cute! (She crowns V.)

V: I... Uh...

Crowd: Speech, speech!

Khan tries to leave, but the doors are sealed shut by Doll's AbsoluteSolver.

Khan: Not... the doors...!

V: I'll kill everyone after? It's not vain, it's extra sinister...

V goes up to the mic to make her speech as Doll begins to unleash her AbsoluteSolver and kill her. Before she could, You, Uzi and N crash down behind her.

Uzi: Ah ha! Unhand them, you fiend- (Everyone is staring at them awkwardly.) I'm confused.

Y/N: V's Prom Queen? Honestly, I can buy that.

Uzi gives you a jealous glare as Doll prepares her AbsoluteSolver

Lizzy: On second thought, you're way hotter than Doll! Run, idiot!

A/N: True

Before V could move, Doll unleashes her AbsoluteSolver and makes her arms get stuck as they're impaled with rebar. As everyone flees for their lives, Penny is crushed by the AbsoluteSolver as Doll lifts Lizzy out of the gym.

Doll: (Slowly advancing towards her) Привет, Ви. (Hello, V.)

She makes V flashback to when V killed her parents, showing Doll only survived because she was hiding in the closet..

Doll: Ладно, тебе всё понятно. (Anyway, you get it.)

V frees her right arm and fires at Doll, but the shots deal no damage. Doll summons her cleaver and flings it at V, severing her arm. Doll then summons a fan blade down.

Uzi: Holy crap, what is she doing?!

N: This isn't what I expected at all! 

Y/N: I know you and V don't like each other, but we should... Uh... (Uzi groans.)

Doll flings the blade at V. Just as she braces for the worst, You swoop in and kick the blade to the side. Uzi flings her knife, which damages her AbsoluteSolver. This removes the AS on the door as well, letting everyone escape.

Doll: Узи, ты правда на стороне Дронов-Убийц? Я не единственная, кто потеряла из-за них семью. (Uzi, you would really side with the Murder Drones? I'm not the only one who's lost family to them.)

Uzi: Bite me! Whoever started this wants us to fight. I'm not dealing with anything well, but I'm done dealing with everything alone. 

She looks at you, and you smile softly at each other.

Y/N: We move forward together, or not at all.

Doll: Как мило, но мне твоя помощь не нужна. (Cute, but I don't need help.)

Her AS pierces through you and N and she launches the blades towards you. You shove Uzi to the side and give one final thumbs up before the blades hit you, N, and V, tearing you to pieces. Khan tries to rush in and help his daughter, only for Doll to re-seal the door shut.

Doll summons her knife and hurls it towards Uzi, who non-chalantly takes it through her hand before pulling it out. Doll tries using her AS powers on Uzi, to no effect, before resorting to tossing the symbol at her, who bats it aside. Doll grows concerned and starts backing up as Uzi advances towards her.

Meanwhile, you have reconstructed yourself and are helping N and V put themselves back together.

N: (reaching for an arm) Is this-

V: Mine! (She snatches the arm away form him.)

Lizzy: Ew. You look like garbage.

V: (With the arm in her mouth) You frickin' traitor!

Lizzy: As if you weren't using me to try and kill everyone, Ms. Petty. (Looks at the arm) Where does this freaking go?

Y/N: I'm gonna to help Uzi. You stay and help put them back together. 

Lizzy: Whatever. You're lucky I like hot guys giving me orders!

You run off as Lizzy reattaches N's arm.

N: Thank you, Lizzy!

Lizzy and V: Shut up, loser.

Cut to Uzi and Doll fighting on the dance floor.

You fly out and slam into Doll, causing her cleaver to hit the DJ table. She kicks you in the chest and tosses the knife towards Uzi, who backflips as the knife gets stuck in the stage.

You grab Doll by the shoulders and punch her in the face before wrapping your arms around her neck and kneeing her in the face.

Doll: Ты думаешь, что когда-нибудь сможешь искупить вину, Т/И? (You think you can ever atone, Y/N?)

Y/N: I know we've done terrible things to countless Worker Drones, and you every right to hate us, Doll. But this isn't going to solve anything.

Doll: Вы не правы. По крайней мере, я могу заставить тебя почувствовать часть того, что ты заставляешь чувствовать нас. (You're wrong. I can at least make you feel a fraction of what you make us feel.)

She prepares her AbsoluteSolver power

Doll: До свидания, Т/И. (Goodbye, Y/N)

She's distracted by Uzi hurling the microphone stand at her, before whacking you across the face with it. She throws it back at Uzi, pinning her to the ground, before multiplying the cleaver and throwing all three at her.

You leap in front of her and block them with your wings before helping Uzi up, being observed by Lizzy and an almost rebuilt V and N

Lizzy: Oh, cute and a badass.

V: Hands off, he's mine!

Uzi: Quit saving me!

You and Uzi continue dodging while doing dancing poses 

Uzi throws a cleaver and Doll and you turn your arm into a grenade launcher and fire. Some of Doll's hair gets cut off before the explosion tosses her back.

She takes in the cuts in your tuxedo, stained with oil.

Uzi: Seriously. Don't do that again.

Y/N: Uzi... Ah, okay, your turn! (You toss Uzi out of the way and get hit by an oncoming table.)

Doll levitates some tables and Uzi makes her way across them, knocking the key to Doll's home off her wrist, and kicks Doll in the face. Doll begins to unleash her Absolu-

SPLAT!

V shoots Doll from behind and and she collapses to the ground

Y/N: Well, mark me down as scared and horny.

V: Seductive growl

Uzi: V, we needed her for answers!

V: What? She's fine. Uhh... A little tuckered out...

Doll is shown profusely bleeding oil.

N: V did that on purpose! She's hiding mystery stuff and being overdramatic about it!

V: N! (Punches him) You suck!

Uzi: You! (V and N point at each other accusingly.) Lucky for you, we're not done yet. (Uzi picks up and holds the key to Doll's house.)

Cut to you, Uzi, N, and V arrive at Doll's house. N turns on the lights.)

Uzi: Uh-oh...

V: Hehe. Nice.

Corpses, garbage, and insects are scattered all over the place. V has an arm in her mouth, sucking on it like a lollipop.

Uzi: (Taking the arm out) Ugh, self respect! (The four of you spread out to snoop around.) 

You and Uzi stop by a cooking pot that has oil and Worker Drone limbs

Uzi: Why would a worker drone... (She gets oil on her fingers.)

Y/N: Was she *eating* them? 

Walking away, you and Uzi accidentally bump into each other.

Y/N: Gah, sorry!

Uzi: It's fine. Uh...

The two of you look at each other and blush. 

Y/N: About earlier-

Uzi: Thanks, for, uh... (sighs) Look, I'm not the best with words, so...

She kisses you on the cheek.

Uzi: Don't read too much into it. That's just for helping against Doll.

Meanwhile, N uncovers two corpses.

N: (Disturbed) I think we found her folks...

V: (picking her teeth) Literally didn't even taste that good.

N: V, you kind of suck.

V: Yeah. I'm not doing okay. But I will be if Y/N cuddles me tonight. (She eats a bug.)

You and Uzi make your way over to investigate. Uzi checks out a name tag. Yeva. Doll's mother.

Suddenly, Doll teleports in behind them and begins to repair herself.

Doll: Как раз к ужину. (Just in time for dinner.)

Everyone turns around as a shot is fired...Uzi stops the bullet with her AbsoluteSolver.

Doll: Мне... Мне тебя... (I... I'm sorry...)

The bullet ricochets.

Doll: ...Жаль. Если я найду то, что ищу, то и тебе помогу. (...For you. If I find what I'm looking for, I'll help you too.)

Uzi: What?!

Doll: Извини. (I am sorry.)

Y/N: (readying gun arm) Don't even think about it!

V flies up to attack.

Uzi: (Rushes towards Doll) What? Oh, don't you dare!

V fires a rocket. When the dust clears, Doll is nowhere to be seen.

Uzi: (Shouting towards the heavens) Ugh, I hate it HEEERE!!!

Meanwhile, a Worker Drone, Reid, is digging through the snow, where he finds his missing glasses.

Reid: Ah, that's where I left my excuse to be outside right now.

He puts his glasses on, and looks up as a Murder Drone pod comes hurling towards him. He gets out of the way, only to get thrown back by an explosion. He survives, only for another pod to come arrive. The pod's passenger comes out and slices Reid's head off. The nametag reads Tessa, certified technician for JCJenson.

Tessa: Righty-o. Work to do. Eh, J? (J flies in next to her, newly rebuilt and reprogrammed. She hands her a keychain.) Maintenance work... (She presses a car alarm button and a car beeps.)
