* Why would Cyn need to "discard" N and use his backups instead of reprogramming him? Well, if one recalls the events of "Home" combined with the FreezeFrameBonus after N gets broken out of the flashback Cyn gave him, it's evident that N's current body is protected from Cyn's control due to Uzi installing herself as the new admin. Thus, it would be far simpler for Cyn to start fresh with a backup body that doesn't have a firewall installed.

* In "Mass Destruction", Cyn tells N that he's one of the main reasons that his team retained their personalities. This greatly implies that N and his friends got lucky when they were converted to Disassembly Drones, while the rest of their co-workers likely suffered a DeathOfPersonality.

* "Cyn" is a homophone of "sin", befitting the PatientZero of the BigBad. It also makes Louisa calling Cyn a "little Antichrist" more fitting.

* Nori and (likely) Yeva having amnesia due to the core collapse and was cured of their possession by the crucifix patch in "Mass Destruction" answers a few supposed plot holes:
** How they died to the Murder Drones in the first place, despite their daughters showing how ridiculous the scenario would be in earlier episodes. The shock to their memories literally made them forgot about their powers, leaving them vulnerable.
** Why the Murder Drones go after and kill them along with the other workers, which would cut of the Absolute Solver from potential hosts. They had the protection of the crucifix patch. The Absolute Solver doesn't want a bunch of superpowered robots it can no longer control running around.



** It's implied in "Home" that watching it caused the internal program that was trying to delete N and V's memories

* Doll's core was consumed by "Tessa" shortly after her initial death. Unlike the Disassembly Drones, Worker Drones are considered disposable and are not backed up. [[DeaderThanDead She's gone for good]]. Yeva must be turning in her grave.

* When Cyn reveals her true colors to Tessa, she proclaims, "You will not have to discard your pets, and I will not discard you." [[FalseReassurance Sure enough]], Cyn doesn't "discard" Tessa... she merely flays her, wears her skin and assumes her identity.

Added DiffLines:

* The reveal that Cyn wants to use Uzi as a host fits perfectly with the ReligiousHorror theme of "Mass Destruction" - Uzi is the daughter of a woman who was in some way touched by an evil force, and who inherited incredible powers from her in turn, but who now serves as an ApocalypseMaiden. In other words, she's a very thinly-veiled allegory for TheAntichrist.

None

Added DiffLines:

* If "Tessa" has been Cyn/Absolute Solver puppeteering her dead body all this time, why did she try to kill Uzi, the soon-to-be host? Since the Solver tends to take control when Uzi is under extreme stress, "Tessa" was likely trying to coerce her into letting it out.

* Why aren’t any of the Worker Drones willing to stand and fight? Because they’re the ones that survived. All the ones who tried fighting back when the Murder Drones made planetfall were killed early on and added to the corpse pile, so the only Workers left alive are the ones whose first instinct is to run and hide! The only Worker Drones willing to pick up a weapon (Uzi and Thad) are of the second generation, which grew up in relative safety, and thus wouldn’t have had all its “fighters” killed off.

* Why do the Murder Drones build an enormous spire of Worker Drone corpses? To demoralize the Workers, sure… but also to make “cleanup” easier once JcJenson retakes the planet. It also doubles as a convenient “larder” of oil for when they can’t find prey. After all, robot corpses don’t rot…

*** Wouldn't that make the drones perfect soldiers? A general wouldn't have to worry about loss of human life as they can simply send large numbers of mass-produced drones into combat without worrying about public backlash.


Added DiffLines:

* It's strongly suggested that Tessa is lying about the origins of the Disassembly Drones and Earth's destruction to manipulate N into killing Uzi. How would he react to the one that saved him, took care of him and treated him like a friend is okay with lying and manipulating him to kill his best friend/crush.

** Similarly, in "Home", the Absolute Solver's main appendage is coming out of a broken birdcage, and some other appendages may be coming from a murky aquarium. Pets gone missing, perhaps? In some cases the Solver does seem to generate flesh from nothing, but it looks like at least some of the time it's repurposing scavenged meat.

* Right after Uzi reveals her intention to KillAllHumans, her eyes flash yellow like one of the disassembly drones, acompanied by error messages like "tampering detected", and "Corrupted/[Ilegible]". Given the disassemly drones are basically robot vampires, could Uzi be in the process of turning?

Actually, Tessa's wrist was just in pain. The episode implies that it was caused by her parents shackling the same wrist multiple times in the past before the flashback took place.

* All the drones in Uzi's colony go to an evacuation spot. There are very few drones there, just Uzi's classmates and some more generic drones and defense force drones. Is that everyone?
* Uzi and N essentially sentenced the worker drone colony to death. Sure the main murder drone squad is gone, but now the base's door-operating computer is destroyed, there's a hole in their roof, a third of them are dead (including the entire defense squad besides the leader), and that remaining leader is now in a state of weakness thanks to his daughter running away. It'll be a miracle if the colony survives another two weeks.
