As the midway point in the season, the fourth episode has a lot of disparate work to do.

Lets break down those interconnected parts.

Chishiya survives, but most of the players die.

Yaba and Banda may be like Arisu because they are intent on learning more about the rules in Borderland.

The film ends, and the King of Spades appears again, like a bad penny.

Arisu and Usagi run, like they always do, and get separated in the fight for survival.

Is it weird that I am glad to see him?

Honestly, I wondered if Chishiya might be the Jack of Hearts too.

I was low-key rooting for Kotoko to win the Jack of Hearts game.

Chishiya may not express much explicitly, but he understands people.

Ive never been in a land as beautiful as this one, says Banda of Borderland.

This is the only world that is worthy of my control, adds Yaba.

Yeah, these two are, unfortunately, perfect for one another.

Kuina leaves Arisu and Usagi to look for Ann and Chishiya.

Ann and Kuina were friends before they got to know Arisu and Usagi.

I am very impressed that Kuina is still only wearing a bathing-suit top.

(Though she did pick up jeans this season.)

Karube gives some sage advice, even from beyond the grave.

Arisu and Usagi go bunny hunting for dinner in this episode, and its basically their first date.

Man was dedicated to his craft.

Do you watch it with this?

Arisu, looking at the projector and trying to figure out what to do with the 8-mm film.

Yep, hes a Zoomer.

The vegetation is increasing at an incredible rate.

This is her way of looking for answers.

This episode has some really beautiful shots of Tokyo overrun by plants.
