| Last week's episode did a reference to Die Hard, so this week its Jaws as the Marginal Service encounters a aquatic borderlander while tracking Rubber to the Dragon Islands. The encounter separates Bolts and Robin from the group as they are washed up on the shores of Higashino Island. We get a backstory on Cyrus when he was a Harvard medical student that got banned for illegal cloning prior to coming to the Marginal Service. It was thanks to Cyrus who found out that it was a brain tumor that was causing the aquatic boraderlander to go berserk after doing brain surgery. However, the Marginal Service learned after talking to the other aquatic boraderlanders in the ocean that Bolts and Robin were captured by Rubber who is on Rock Island. Looks like the Marginal Service are going on a rescue mission next week. |

| Brian's backstory continues to haunt him, and though last week was a reference to Die Hard, this week it's Jaws. With Eddie Snow's clue, Rubber Suit is located in the volcanic Higashino Island around the Dragon Triangle a.k.a Devil's Sea. And that, brings the Marginal Service to around the island...for some recreation to spend time while finding a chance to land. Cyrus is a well-pampered chap at that, though Brian's bait caught a shark that's an aquatic Borderlander: Bruce Gilman. Having paralyzed it thanks to Zeno, and this presents a chance for Peck, who've just came out of the shark's mouth, go in there again utilize the marmot-type Borderlander to squeeze a bomb in it...which failed spectacularly. Though Rubber Suit's Cessna clearly landed on the mountain, it could also be a trap, seeing how Bolts and Robin are still nowhere to be found, but including the aquatic Borderlander, who's in a great deal of pain from a brain tumor. What's worse is that the cyberattack exposed Cyrus's history, which saw him as a ludicrous doctor working on the unknown, thereby seeing himself in the Borderlander's shoes. With the surgery completed, a tribe of unknown ocean-living aquatic Borderlanders come up on shore, which Zeno wants to eradicate, though Brian stopped him and allowed Gilman to be taken care of by them. Also, through them, they learnt that both Boltz and Robin were abducted by Rubber towards Rock Island. Time for a rescue mission! |

| so borderlanders can't even leave where they are registered. So the government in this show is pretty authoritarian. |

| Another good episode. We got to see more of Cyrus and Brian. Their exchanges were interesting. Unfortunately, Bolts and Robin have been kidnapped by Rubber. |
 |
| That's one hell of a side-quest before facing the main boss, there's even a Mermaid Borderlander ocean society to further expand how many of them are on Earth |
| Like the way he teached those bullies a lesson, great way to start being attacked by a shark lol. |
