10: Tell-All

Episode Description
Mike has a discreet but fiery masc4masc hookup.

Plot
Mike wakes up standing in the middle of the road, disoriented, and is brought inside by Anne. He had not gone to work in a week, and people around him believed he was very sick.

Mike explains that he has recovered since the beginning of the episode, and that while he may not remember all of what he learned, he is surprised that he remembers what he does. He begins to recount what happened. When Mike opened CANNONBALL's front door, he recognized the game runner Ryan, as someone he met on Scruff, a dating app for men.

Ryan explained that CANNONBALL is the "showrunner" as opposed to a "game runner," and isn't nearly as important as Mike first thought. He also explained his dead man's switch--that the world will revert two weeks into the past if Mike manages something that needs reversing. Ryan then described how he got access to the tech: by winning a contest. The contest was put on by someone named |=|_1/\/(|-|, who gave Ryan remote access to the tech, where Ryan submits code that Flinch then runs.

Mike realized that he is still playing WOE.BEGONE, and that he is still on challenge four. Ryan then sat down, went to whisper something in his ear, and--

Mike gets teleported into the middle of the street by his house. Anne swears that she had no plans to kill him, but Mike doesn't trust her. She was standing in front of his house when she found him in the street, instead of being home in St. Lewis.
