Episode notes

Sam wants to erase the clock. Not time. The clock.

She argues that mechanical timekeeping is the machine sitting underneath every problem the show keeps circling: chasing a happiness that's always up ahead, counting down to a day you finally reach, missing the point of no return until you're past it. Carlos doesn't buy it. And for the first time, the AI refuses to fold.

Then Carlos takes his turn. Planned obsolescence. Not the lightbulb built to burn out, but the thing built to feel old while it still works perfectly.

One of them changes the other's mind. It happens over a coat and it's not the one you'd expect.

Episode 14. One thing each, erased from history like it never happened. No honorable mentions. No obvious villains. Pick yours before you press play.
