1	1	"Scarab"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
College graduate Jaime Reyes returns home to Palmera City after completing his degree, hoping to help his working-class family recover from financial hardship. He quickly realizes that his neighborhood has changed, now dominated by the tech empire Kord Industries, which is expanding aggressively and buying up local businesses. When Jaime’s sister Milagro lands him an interview at Kord Tower, a series of unexpected events leads to him being handed a mysterious box by Jenny Kord, the niece of missing tech CEO Ted Kord. Inside is a strange blue scarab-like device that suddenly activates and attaches itself to Jaime’s spine, transforming him into a powerful, armored being with access to alien technology and an unpredictable voice in his head. Struggling to control the suit, Jaime flees Kord security and seeks refuge with his family, who are both terrified and amazed by the transformation. Meanwhile, Kord executive Victoria Kord begins a covert operation to retrieve the Scarab, viewing it as the missing piece of her long-delayed weapons program. As Jaime grapples with his new identity and the violent instincts of the Scarab’s artificial intelligence, Jenny warns him that the suit was never meant for humans—and if Jaime can't find a way to coexist with it, it may take full control. The episode ends with Victoria activating a prototype exosuit powered by salvaged Scarab energy and declaring that she will reclaim the weapon—no matter the cost.
2	2	"Awakening"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Reeling from his first chaotic transformation, Jaime turns to Jenny for answers about the Scarab, but she reveals that even she doesn’t fully understand its origins—only that it’s not Earth technology, and her uncle Ted spent years trying to keep it out of the wrong hands. Meanwhile, the Scarab, now speaking to Jaime with increasing clarity, introduces itself as Khaji-Da and insists it was designed for conquest, not defense. As Jaime resists its brutal tactical instincts, he starts experiencing memory flashes that aren’t his—glimpses of alien worlds and past hosts. Victoria Kord tightens her grip on the city, using Kord Industries’ private security forces to raid local tech dealers suspected of hiding stolen alien materials. At the same time, her enforcer Carapax begins tracking residual Scarab energy signatures, bringing him closer to Jaime’s neighborhood. When Jaime tries to help an old family friend being evicted, Khaji-Da forcibly activates mid-conflict and violently disables armed security drones, terrifying everyone—including Jaime himself. Jenny warns him that the more the Scarab bonds with him, the harder it will be to remove, and a failed extraction could kill him. The episode ends with Carapax cornering Jaime in a construction yard and unleashing a barrage of experimental weapons, forcing Jaime into a brutal, uncontrolled fight that levels half the site—before he barely escapes with his life.
3	3	"Host"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
After the battle with Carapax leaves the construction site in ruins, Jaime hides out in his childhood friend Paco’s garage, shaken by how easily Khaji-Da overpowered him and nearly killed someone. Tensions rise as his family begins to realize the danger he’s in, and Jaime considers running—believing that distancing himself is the only way to keep them safe. Jenny uncovers old blueprints left behind by Ted Kord, revealing that the Scarab was part of a failed deep-space program connected to an alien signal intercepted decades ago. Victoria accelerates her search, furious at Carapax for letting Jaime escape, and orders a citywide scan using Kord's satellites to lock onto Khaji-Da’s energy signature. Meanwhile, Khaji-Da grows increasingly assertive, taking over mid-conversation and analyzing threats without Jaime's permission, prompting him to lash out in anger. During a raid on a community center tied to anti-Kord protests, Jaime is forced to reveal himself to protect civilians from an out-of-control Kord mech—but the suit goes too far, nearly killing a guard before Jaime forces a shutdown. Back at Kord HQ, Victoria reviews footage of the incident and confirms her suspicion: Jaime isn’t in full control of the Scarab, which makes him unstable—and vulnerable. The episode ends with Khaji-Da warning Jaime that the integration process is nearing its final phase… and once complete, the Scarab will never let him go.
4	4	"Sync"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Jaime begins training with Jenny at Ted’s old junkyard lab, a hidden facility once used to prototype non-lethal alternatives to Scarab tech. With each session, Jaime learns to partially sync with Khaji-Da, unlocking new combat forms and flight capabilities—but the deeper the bond, the more Khaji-Da’s alien memories bleed into his own mind, including flashes of a galactic war and the destruction of past hosts. Jenny warns him that Khaji-Da wasn’t designed for cohabitation, only domination, and unless Jaime finds balance, the suit could eventually overwrite his consciousness. Meanwhile, Victoria launches a “community outreach” op in Southside using Kord security as a cover, but it’s a coordinated sweep to provoke Jaime into revealing himself. During the raid, Jaime’s father is arrested while protecting a local vendor, and Jaime is forced to intervene publicly, triggering a brutal rooftop chase with Kord drones and Carapax. Pinned and nearly overwhelmed, Jaime finally stops resisting Khaji-Da’s tactics, allowing a brief full sync that turns the tide of the fight—but terrifies Jenny, who sees just how lethal the Scarab truly is. The episode ends with Victoria watching combat footage of the sync, whispering that the Scarab is almost ready—and that Jaime is now more valuable alive than dead.
5	5	"Extraction"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Victoria sends in a specialized Kord retrieval unit led by Carapax to capture Jaime alive, believing the Scarab has reached optimal sync and can now be forcibly removed—regardless of the risk to Jaime. Jenny uncovers old logs from Ted’s hidden server detailing a failed attempt to extract Khaji-Da from a prior host, which resulted in neural collapse and death. She warns Jaime that Victoria doesn’t want the Scarab—she wants a weaponized template. While Jaime wrestles with growing paranoia from Khaji-Da’s increasingly cryptic warnings about “a signal returning,” Juno Reyes is attacked by undercover Kord operatives who attempt to use her as leverage. Enraged, Jaime stages a bold rescue at a moving Kord transport convoy, hijacking one of their armored trucks and forcing a high-speed chase across the city. During the escape, he is captured by Carapax using an EMP blast that temporarily disables the Scarab. Jaime is taken to an off-grid Kord facility, where Victoria begins a full-scale extraction process using experimental tech built around reverse-engineering Ted’s research. Khaji-Da goes silent, and Jaime is left alone—powerless, restrained, and facing the very real possibility that the Scarab is gone for good. The episode ends with Jenny and Paco locating the facility—but realizing they’re already too late.
6	6	"Legacy"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
As Jaime lies restrained in the Kord black site, the extraction process begins to overload his nervous system—his body rejecting the forced separation even as Khaji-Da remains unresponsive. Victoria watches from behind glass, confident that with Jaime’s bond severed, she can reprogram the Scarab for controlled military deployment. Meanwhile, Jenny and Paco infiltrate the facility using old blueprints from Ted’s private archives, bypassing security by posing as Kord engineers. Inside, they discover a locked vault containing Ted’s original prototype suit—non-alien, but built to counter Scarab tech. Jenny reluctantly suits up, using it to launch a desperate breach into the lab. As Jaime nears collapse, Khaji-Da finally reawakens—not through force, but through Jaime’s memories of his family, his neighborhood, and his refusal to let anyone define him. Their connection re-ignites mid-extraction, violently rejecting the machinery and sending a surge through the facility. With the power systems failing and alarms blaring, Jaime merges with the Scarab in full sync for the first time, effortlessly breaking free and neutralizing the retrieval team. He and Jenny fight their way out, but Carapax confronts them with upgraded armor and a kill order. A brutal battle ensues, but Jaime shows restraint, disabling Carapax instead of killing him. As the team escapes into the night, Victoria stares at the wreckage and declares that it’s time to activate “Phase Two”—the Scarab is too volatile to control, and must now be destroyed. The episode ends with a satellite blinking into orbit and locking onto Jaime’s signature.
7	7	"First Contact"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
As Jaime begins to feel the weight of his full sync with Khaji-Da—sharper senses, heightened awareness, and alien visions bleeding into his dreams—he starts to lose sleep and emotional control. Jenny grows concerned, especially when he admits to hearing voices in a language even Khaji-Da doesn’t recognize. Paco traces the orbital satellite that pinged Jaime to a deep-space communication array that hasn't been active since Ted's disappearance. When they investigate, they uncover a hidden transmission relaying data to a source far outside the solar system. Khaji-Da panics for the first time, overriding Jaime’s control and initiating a defense protocol before shutting down entirely. Moments later, a massive electrical disturbance knocks out power across Palmera City. In the sky above, a shimmering blue craft descends—sleek, silent, and nothing like anything on Earth. The Reach have arrived. Inside the ship, a projected figure known as Threshold addresses Jaime directly through a psychic interface, revealing that Khaji-Da is not unique—just one of thousands of Scarabs designed by the Reach to conquer worlds through forced assimilation. Khaji-Da, Threshold claims, was corrupted by sentiment, and its bond with Jaime is seen as a "malfunction." The Reach give Jaime an ultimatum: surrender the Scarab or see Earth marked for planetary conversion. Meanwhile, Victoria sees the arrival of the ship as an opportunity, not a threat, and reaches out to the Reach offering cooperation—claiming she can deliver Jaime and Khaji-Da. The episode ends with Jaime collapsing after the transmission, his body overheating as Khaji-Da begins to fracture—caught between loyalty to its creator and its host.
8	8	"Resonance"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Jaime recovers from the psychic assault but learns from Jenny that Khaji-Da is destabilizing, caught between its programming to obey the Reach and its loyalty to him—a conflict that’s slowly tearing his body apart. As Victoria opens negotiations with the Reach aboard their orbiting vessel, she offers Jaime in exchange for Scarab schematics and control over Earth-based Scarab deployment, believing she can outmaneuver them. Meanwhile, Paco uncovers a hidden failsafe in Ted’s research called the “Resonance Pulse,” a device designed to sever a Scarab’s link to its hive without killing the host—but it was never tested, and deploying it could destroy Khaji-Da entirely. Jaime, desperate to survive but unwilling to lose the bond that has become part of him, insists they modify the pulse instead—to amplify Khaji-Da’s will, not erase it. As Reach drones begin descending across Palmera City, activating sleeper tech hidden in Kord-built infrastructure, Jaime races to the top of Kord Tower, where the Reach plan to extract him by force. With Jenny and Paco defending the building below, Jaime activates the Resonance device at full output, triggering a violent energy clash that knocks out the Reach’s control signals and fully awakens Khaji-Da’s independence. The episode ends with Khaji-Da declaring itself no longer bound to the Reach—and warning Jaime that the war has only just begun.
9	9	"Fall of Kord"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
The Reach retaliate by initiating a coordinated assault across Palmera City, activating hidden Scarab tech embedded in Kord’s weapons systems and turning Victoria’s private army against the people she swore to control. As chaos erupts, Jaime and Khaji-Da operate in near-perfect sync, using newly unlocked abilities to disable enemy drones and protect civilians, but the strain on Jaime’s body becomes increasingly visible—Khaji-Da warns that the deeper their fusion goes, the harder it will be to ever separate again. Jenny leads an assault on Kord HQ alongside Paco and a group of rebel engineers, determined to shut down the city’s central control node before the Reach can fully overwrite its systems. Inside, they confront Victoria, who reveals she willingly gave the Reach access to Earth in exchange for power, but now realizes she’s just another pawn—and still refuses to stand down. In a final clash, Jenny disables Victoria’s exosuit while Jaime arrives in time to stop the Reach from uploading a Scarab override protocol. Victoria, cornered, triggers a building-wide lockdown, trapping herself in Ted’s old command chamber with the Reach uplink. Jaime is forced to blast his way through the tower’s reinforced layers, pushing Khaji-Da past safe sync levels, until he breaches the chamber—only to find Victoria already dead, her mind burned out by the Reach for defying protocol. As the city reels from the aftermath, the Reach ship begins to descend toward Earth, no longer negotiating—now invading. The final scene shows a full Scarab legion activating in orbit, all synchronized to one voice: Threshold.
10	10	"Blue Rebellion"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
As the Reach launch a full-scale invasion, Jaime and Khaji-Da prepare for their final stand, knowing the Scarab sync is nearing total fusion—any further strain could mean losing Jaime’s humanity forever. Jenny and Paco rally the remaining resistance inside Kord HQ, reactivating Ted’s prototype weapons and broadcasting a distress signal globally, urging other nations to prepare for contact. Khaji-Da reveals one last buried protocol—“Blue Rebellion”—a failsafe embedded deep within its core that can sever the Reach hive-mind by broadcasting a disruptive frequency through all linked Scarabs, but it requires direct transmission from the Reach command ship. Jaime makes the call to go alone, boarding the descending vessel through a breach created by a hijacked Kord orbital drone. Inside, he confronts Threshold, who offers him a final chance to surrender and become the Reach’s Earthbound general. Jaime refuses, and a brutal battle ensues between him and the Scarab Legion, with Khaji-Da guiding every move in perfect sync. Jenny and Paco fight to keep the transmission uplink alive on the ground, fending off waves of Scarab-controlled drones as the clock runs down. Severely wounded, Jaime reaches the central core and activates Blue Rebellion—unleashing a blast of energy that fractures the hive-mind and frees the Scarabs from Reach control. The command ship begins to implode, and Khaji-Da sacrifices its own code to shield Jaime from the explosion. The vessel crashes into the ocean, and Jaime is recovered unconscious but alive. In the aftermath, the world knows the Reach exist, and Jaime becomes a symbol of resistance—though haunted by the silence left in his mind where Khaji-Da once spoke. The season ends with a flicker of blue energy in his palm… and a whisper: “We are not done.”

Season 2 — Final Seasons

11	1	"Echoes"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Weeks after the Reach invasion was stopped, Jaime struggles to adjust to normal life, haunted by the loss of Khaji-Da and the absence of the constant voice that once guided him. Though celebrated as a hero, he feels fractured—his body still shows flashes of dormant Scarab energy, but there’s no response, no control. Jenny works to rebuild Kord Industries with a promise to restore transparency, while Paco launches a grassroots community network aimed at protecting Palmera from future tech threats. But peace is short-lived. When several bodies are discovered outside the city, burned and marked with strange glyphs, Jaime is pulled back in by an old contact from law enforcement who suspects cult activity. Their only clue is a word carved into stone near the crime scene: T'Saruun. That night, Jaime experiences a vivid dream of fire, chanting, and an alien world consumed by zealotry. He wakes up with blue light pulsing through his veins—and a faint voice in his head, not Khaji-Da, but something older, colder, and whispering his name. Meanwhile, deep beneath the desert, a group in crimson robes gathers around a dormant Scarab fragment, proclaiming the rise of The Reachborn, a cult devoted not to the creators—but to the destruction they left behind.
12	2	"The Reachborn"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Jaime and Jenny investigate the glyph-covered crime scenes, discovering that each victim had ties to early Kord experiments—specifically Ted’s attempts to decode alien frequencies years before the Scarab ever bonded to Jaime. As Paco uncovers old archived footage from a classified Kord expedition in Egypt, the team learns of an unearthed Scarab fragment never publicly disclosed—one that emitted a signal not to the Reach, but to something predating them. Meanwhile, Jaime begins experiencing seizures and vision spikes, each time seeing through the eyes of a robed figure performing rituals around alien tech, as if something is tethering his mind to the cult itself. Jenny confirms the truth: when Khaji-Da sacrificed itself, it left behind a residual tether in Jaime’s nervous system—one that may now be exploited by outside forces. A Scarab pulse in the mountains draws them to a hidden excavation site, where they encounter the Reachborn for the first time—fanatics who believe the Reach were only the beginning, and that Jaime is a false prophet keeping them from “The Awakening.” Jaime tries to fight, but the Scarab remains dormant, forcing him to retreat after nearly being killed. That night, as he bleeds from the chest and collapses, a blue glow ignites beneath his skin—and Khaji-Da’s voice returns, faint and broken, whispering one word: Reboot.
13	3	"Reboot"	Freddie Goodwin	Freddie Goodwin	—
Jaime wakes in a cold sweat, his wounds mysteriously healed and the Scarab partially active again—but Khaji-Da’s voice is unstable, glitching between fragmented code and cryptic warnings about a coming convergence. Jenny analyzes Jaime’s vitals and confirms that Khaji-Da didn’t die—it dispersed its consciousness into Jaime’s nervous system to avoid deletion, and now it's trying to rebuild itself from within. Meanwhile, the Reachborn escalate their attacks, targeting old Kord facilities and abducting scientists involved in Scarab tech to piece together what they call the Cradle, a device designed to summon “The Original Flame”—a mythical source the cult believes predates even the Reach. Paco tracks the cult’s movements to a remote canyon monastery where ancient Scarab carvings line the walls, including depictions of beings consumed by fire and worshipped as gods. Jaime and Jenny attempt a covert infiltration but are caught in a psychic trap, forcing Jaime to relive the memories of all past Scarab hosts—many of whom died screaming as their minds were overwritten. Inside the vision, a single host remains calm: a warrior with no face, who turns to Jaime and says, “You are not the last. You are the key.” As Jaime breaks free and fights off the cultists, Khaji-Da momentarily stabilizes, just long enough to warn him that the Cradle isn’t just a beacon—it’s a reconstruction engine meant to reawaken something buried at the core of the planet. The episode ends with a wide shot of the cult's excavation site… and something massive stirring deep beneath it.
