Ep 6. The Only Me I Know

In gen:LOCK season 1 episode 6, titled "The Only Me I Know," the team faces challenges as they attempt to stop the Union's newest weapon. The episode opens with Dr. Weller explaining to the team that an enormous Union mech, known as the Anvil, is headed towards their base. In an effort to stop it, he proposes a dangerous plan involving hijacking the mech's communication system.

The team is split into two groups, with Kazu and Valentina taking on the task of infiltrating the Anvil to carry out Weller's plan. Meanwhile, Chase, Cammie, and Yaz remain at the base to provide support. This division of the team allows for some interesting character development, particularly for Kazu, who struggles to work with Valentina due to a past incident that has yet to be fully explained.

As Kazu and Valentina attempt to infiltrate the Anvil, they find themselves facing a variety of obstacles, including tricky Union soldiers and a challenging puzzle that must be solved in order to gain entry to the mech's communication system. Despite these challenges, the two manage to work together and eventually gain access to the system, allowing the team back at the base to take control of the Anvil.

However, their success is short-lived as the team soon realizes that the Union has created a backup system that can override their control. The episode becomes a race against time as the gen:LOCK team works to fend off the Union's counterattack while also finding a way to prevent them from taking back control of the Anvil.

Throughout the episode, the characters face a variety of challenges that force them to confront their flaws and work together in new ways. This is particularly evident in Kazu's character arc, as he learns to put aside his personal grudges in order to work with Valentina and contribute to the team's success.

In terms of action, "The Only Me I Know" is one of the most exciting episodes of gen:LOCK thus far. The hijacking sequence and subsequent battle between the gen:LOCK team and the Union forces are both incredibly engaging and well-executed. The climactic showdown between the Anvil and the team's weapons is particularly impressive, showcasing the show's excellent animation and visual design.

Overall, "The Only Me I Know" is a strong entry in the series, with plenty of character development and exciting action sequences. It continues to build on the show's themes of teamwork and personal growth, while also introducing new challenges and obstacles for the team to overcome. Gen:LOCK fans won't want to miss this episode.
