![]() We then cut to Caitlyn sitting with her parents, Jayce's patrons, discussing his upcoming trial. To raise her status, she seeks some new initiative or discovery that'll "help put Piltover on the map." Medarda is hopelessly ambitious and, despite her great wealth, feels inadequate next to the rest of her family. "We need to hide those crystals," Vi says.īack in Piltover, we meet Councillor Mel Medarda, an obscenely wealthy aristocrat and member of the council that rules over Piltover. A chase ensues, and the group only barely manages to escape thanks to Echo (AKA Little Man). Since Powder is still holding onto her satchel of stolen mana crystals, the orphans have no choice but to run. When one of the Undercity locals spits on an Enforcer, he's thrown through the window of the arcade and the orphans are discovered. ![]() Meanwhile, we get more of a sense of Powder's own strengths after she manages to fix a target practice range and proves herself to be a crack shot with a gun.Īs Milo once again bemoans what deadweight Powder is for the group, just outside a group of Enforcers shakes down Undercity residents in hopes of identifying the orphans. Vi practices boxing against a large punching-bag-robot, giving us some clear indication that she's unnaturally good in a fight. Meanwhile, back in the Undercity, Vi, Powder, Milo, and Claggor are laying low in an abandoned arcade hoping their escapades topside will soon blow over. His advice to Jayce: Admit he was being ambitious, make no mention of magic, and The Council will probably let him off with a warning. But Heimerdinger shoots the idea down, saying that the arcane is too dangerous and unpredictable to be controlled and that some avenues of inquiry are best left untouched. ![]() Jayce reveals to Heimerdinger that his experiments are all in pursuit of finding a way to harness magic through science. If you're a bit confused by Heimerdinger's fluffy ewok-esque appearance, just know that he belongs to a race of extremely long-lived magical creatures called Yordles. In prison, Jayce is visited by the dean himself, who turns out to be none other than Heimerdinger, yet another iconic League champ. That moment, we come to learn, profoundly affected Jayce's approach to scientific research: Something that will land him in hot water with Piltover's governing body, The Council. As a gesture, the wizard then hands Jayce the now-spent mana crystal. Just as Jayce's mom begins to succumb to the cold, a wizard appears and saves their lives by using a magical crystal to teleport them far away. In a flashback, we learn that Jayce and his mother were once lost in a terrible blizzard in the frozen lands of Freljord. ![]() Just as he realizes someone has broken into his lab and barred the door, the magical crystal Powder dropped explodes, knocking him unconscious. Helping him is Caitlyn, another soon-to-be League champ, who belongs to the powerful noble family who sponsors Jayce's research. Jayce is just returning from his trip to the Undercity where he stocked up on illicit doodads. The owner of that lab-who happened to arrive just in time to get caught in the explosion-is Jayce, another iconic League champion who, at this point in time, is an ambitious, young academic. Vi and Powder are just two of several main characters, and to introduce the rest, this episode doubles back to the orphan's lab heist-gone-wrong. What becomes almost immediately clear in Arcane's second episode is that this is a tale of two cities. ![]()
