John, Chris and Derek are back to chat about Ironheart Episode 2 "Will the Real NATALIE Please Stand Up?" as our favourite new MCU character arrives as Riri's best friend Natalie takes center stage.
Ironheart Episode 2 "Will the Real NATALIE Please Stand Up?" Details
Directed by Sam Bailey
Written by Malarie Howard
Episode Synopsis:
Still in need of parts to complete her suit in time for the TNNL heist, Riri reaches out to an underground Tech dealer, Joe McGillicuddy, and easily blackmails him into helping her.
She soon encourages the meek arms supplier Joe to stand up for himself after learning for his passion for technology and he provides the items she needs to rebuild her suit.
The Hood’s team has a plan to blackmail the CEO of the seemingly nefarious organisation TNNL by arranging for Riri to plant a virus in their mainframe. But before she can accomplish the task her new AI NATALIE pops up and startles Riri into dropping the pen drive.
Giving over control to Natalie the two find a work around and accomplish the mission.
As the rest of the team get away Riri is confronted by an armed guard and Natalie glitches, unable to help. Riri is only saved when Parker uses the power of the hood to take out the guard and get them to safety.
After the job Riri learns that her mother Ronnie knows all about her new AI made from her best friend.
Meanwhile, somewhere in suburban Chicago Joe takes back control standing up for himself with his pushy neighbour as he breaks down and destroys her flowers, and back in downtown Parker discusses his masterplan aloud, as voices echo from the seemingly inanimate Hood.
