Gen V Season 2 Episode 3 "H Is For Human" Details

Developed by: Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg & Eric Kripke

Based on the comic series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson

Episode written by: Cameron Squires

Episode directed by: Karen Gaviola

Synopsis:

Hoping to learn more about project Odessa and its connection to her, Marie Moreau contacts her parents' friend, Pam, to discover more about herself. 

Pam informs Marie that she was conceived in a laboratory for Vought as her mother could not become pregnant, and the doctor involved was Cipher under the alias "Dr. Gold". 

To her dismay, Marie also discovers that Pam had raised her long-lost sister Annabeth, and stops Marie from contacting her for Annabeth's safety. Angry and frustrated Marie lashes out telling Pam she was just a scared kid. She loved her parents but her powers were their fault not hers.

At Godolkin University a human barista called Tess is having a terrible day. Pro-starlighter publicity is appearing all around her coffee shop, quicker than she can take it down and Tess is getting the blame. Emma helps her out and learns the Starlighter advocate is the mimic Harper using her powers to evade detection. Emma encourages Harper and her team to do more than just put flyers up.

Elsewhere Cate returns to God U. She’s effectively powerless after the attack that hospitalised her. Cate wants to inform Vought about Emma, Jordan and Marie's involvement in her assault. But Dean Cipher rejects this so she can maintain her reputation. 

Sam, traumatised by his past actions, asks Cate to make him apathetic again, but she cannot. He lashes out and begins destroying his dormitory; Jordan tries to stop him, managing to calm him and the two bond. 

Jordan is named the university top-ranked student, thrusting them into the spotlight. Before they can give a speech for Thomas Godolkin Day, they profess their love for Marie. 

As Jordan takes the stage for their pre-written PR speech, they choose instead to reveal the death of Andre Anderson and he would want everyone to know that his powers killed him. They also reveal that Starlighters did not attack Cate, they were scapegoats blamed and murdered by Vought. Finally, with boos echoing from the assembled crowd of students, they reveal they were the ones responsible for hospitalising Cate.
