Suggested by phoenix88
Despite Julian's incarceration, the troubles around the city fail to cease, as vengeful Vasily starts a manhunt for Aleksander, and Sonya enters a personal war with Claire, leading to a clash with Seymour. A new Puppeteer arises, with seemingly different motivations, which confuses the police, while Julian subtly confirms to them that both of the Puppeteers are part of a bigger plan. The Shadow Master starts unraveling his endgame through Randy, leading to a riot at Parson's, all the while Jack tries his best to protect both Odessa, and his son, who has recently returned. William Lewis returns, vowing to help the good guys take out the Puppeteer, but Lana and TT are not happy to see him. A clue from Julian puts Seymour on Tapp's radar, but it turns out to be a distraction in order for him to incite a prison riot. Boba, meanwhile, joins the police team, having become disillusioned with Aleksander, and Dr. Torah finally uncovers the truth about Randy, albeit much too late.
