* DeadlyUpgrade: The cyberskeleton gives David a massive boost in his fighting prowess, but the toll on his sanity is just as significant: without a steady supply of immunosuppressants, cyberpsychosis is all but guaranteed.

Questioning Lucy, Faraday and Kiwi discover that she's been actively hiding Tanaka's data on David as a potential test subject for the cyberskeleton project, and was actually responsible for Tanaka's death to ensure his silence.
Realizing this, Faraday plans to offer both Lucy and David up to Arasaka to secure his position in the company. To carry this out, Faraday assigns David a mission to assault an Arasaka convoy. David recruits the help of Kiwi, Rebecca, and Falco and they manage to seize the convoy's main cargo, which is revealed to be the cyberskeleton.
A Militech force then arrives thanks to a tip from Faraday, who intends to force David to install the cyberskeleton and use it to destroy the Militech force as a demonstration of its power. Kiwi makes her escape as Faraday impersonates Lucy to trick him into installing the cyberskeleton.
Lucy is able to briefly escape and warns David about Faraday's duplicity before being recaptured. Angered, David uses the cyberskeleton to annihilate the Militech force despite the massive toll it takes on his body, and then tells Rebecca and Falco they will go rescue Lucy and get revenge on Faraday.
----
!!Tropes in this episode:
* AllForNothing: Lucy's murders of all the Arasaka Netrunners to protect David results in her capture, which clues Faraday in on David's value to Arasaka.
* BerserkButton: Lucy for David, which Faraday cruely exploits and uses to make him a weapon against Militech.
* BeyondTheImpossible: David was already at the limits of cyberware a human body could take and the cyberskeleton exceeds all of those by itself.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: The cyberskeleton is something that immediately induces cyberpsychosis but David is able to keep it in check with massive amounts of drugs as well as his love of Lucy. For now.
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Faraday, having been exposed, proceeds to tell the man in the invincible exoskeleton that he is holding his girlfriend hostage.
* EvilPlan: Faraday has arranged for the Edgerunners to become trapped by a Militech force so they're forced to use the cyberskeleton to escape.
* HeroicSecondWind: The knowledge that Lucy is in danger gives David something to focus on before his cyberpsychosis completely claims him.
* IHaveYourWife: Faraday is eventually revealed to possess Lucy and states that he'll kill her unless David dons the cyberskeleton.
* KickTheDog: Faraday uses Lucy's voice to trick David into using the cyberskeleton despite its immense danger of cyberpsychosis.
* TheMole: Kiwi's last mission with the team is to set them up to be forced to use the cyberskeleton.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: Lucy's attempts to cover up for David actually resulted in Faraday (and thus Arasaka) becoming aware of his potential.
