Silco's goons were not equipped with guns in his canning facility/Shimmer production plant during Episode 3. The main reason for that is likely because of the highly volatile nature of Shimmer. Silco wouldn't want his operation to be literally up in flames due to stray gunfire. On a meta level, this placed Vi in a situation where she has to fight a swarm of low effort Mooks coming at her one at a time down a narrow lane… just like a battle against a wave of minions in League of Legends.
Singed surviving Powder's explosion in Act I makes perfect sense, aside from being Saved by Canon. After all, the good doctor is a tank, so it makes logical sense that he would survive such a deadly incident!
In her youth, Vi held contempt against Piltover and its Enforcers. Understandably, she felt anger towards Vander for his clandestine collaboration with Sheriff Grayson. By Act 2, she's now cooperating with Caitlyn (who is both a Piltoverian and an Enforcer). Quite similar to Vander's relationship with Sheriff Grayson, both Vi and Caitlyn share respect for each other despite their differing backgrounds and goals.
Silco has replaced Vander as the head of Zaun's underground, forced to keep the peace between Zaun and Piltover. He rages at Jinx over the killing of Enforcer and the mess it will bring, a stark contrast to the brutal murder of Grayson and her squad in Act I.
Jayce is becoming the very sort of politicking, backroom-dealing councilor that nearly got him banished for his experiments in the first place.
Marcus, whose overzealous approach to cleaning up the undercity ultimately helped get Grayson killed, has become the new Grayson: a chief of police who looks the other way, keeps his troops in check when it comes to the underworld, and has an understanding with Zaunite leadership.
Vi's prisoner number, 516, is written in roman numerals on her left cheek - coincidentally spelling out "VI" (V, I, VI) in the process.
Silco turned Zaun into a mirror Piltover. Piltover was ruled by The Council, seemingly legitimate business people who - as Jayce finds out - "bend" laws to increase their personal wealth or gain certain luxuries, who through lack of awareness and compassion let down the Zaunites, allowing pollution and wide spread corruption within the enforcers and customs officials. Zaun itself was ruled by the Chem Barons who presumably like Silco are seen as a legitimate business people, who as seen by the fact that they can no longer breath Zaunite air had become detached from the plight of the lowest levels. This is foreshadowed by Vander in ep. 3 "...in fighting topside you'd sacrifice everything that we are. That's not the way. Please, kill me, but spare The Lanes".
Heimerdinger saying Piltover has "traded honor for prestige" could be seen as a veiled Biting-the-Hand Humor reference to League of Legends' honor system, and the introduction of prestige skins.
During the concerto, Heimerdinger's Fatal Flaw is foreshadowed - he is the only member of the Council who's actively listening to and enjoying the music, completely oblivious to all the scheming the other members are busy with.
Why does Silco choose his blinded eye for his Shimmer dose injection, despite the visible pain it causes? Seeing that Shimmer seems to deteriorate one's body and he will definitely need his limbs for experimenting or fighting, his already useless eye would be the least harmful place for his injection.
That, or the useless eye is the core of the infection.
Silco attempts to use a sort of baptism to help Jinx completely remove the Powder side of her psyche. Aside from certain exceptions, what happens when actual powder is put in water? It's not powder anymore.
Silco applies concealer to hide the extent of his scarring. When he goes under the surface of the river, he's also getting rid of his pretensions to normalcy, which is what he wants Jinx to do.
Silco's rage after Vi escapes him (with Caitlyn) may be deeper than just frustration that his plans are being disrupted. The first thing he does when they meet is call her "Vander's prodigy." Because that's what Vi is in Silco's eyes: a girl following Vander's way of life and a living reminder of the man he once called brother. Seeing her might be digging up painful memories for Silco, who's proven to be both bitter and slightly melancholic over Vander's death, judging by how he acts at the latter's memorial. And Silco could be interpreting Vi's escape as yet another offense Vander has indirectly done against him.
One of Vi’s nicknames for Powder is “Pow-Pow”… the same name that adult Jinx will end up calling her mini gun, the same one she fires erratically and wildly, and frequently while screaming, and that seems to have just as much chance of hitting her allies as her enemies. Whether Jinx understands the appropriate “loose canon” connotations given the defining moment of her childhood, or chose the name subconsciously, it’s a startlingly appropriate allegory for her.
There's an interesting parallel between Vander and Silco's deaths: both are accidentally caused by Powder/Jinx, and she is driven to tears when she realizes what happened. But the difference is in the direct aftermath. Vi in her own anguish hits Powder and calls her a "jinx", effectively blaming her for everything that happened. Silco tenderly assures Jinx that neither would he have given her to Piltover no matter what they offered him nor does he blame her for his death. His last words to her are "You're perfect". In other words, during another extremely heartbreaking moment in her life Silco, in his final moments, provided Powder/Jinx the two things she really needed: forgiveness and comfort. Even after their reunion, Vi failed to give Powder what she needed. Psychologically, it is little wonder Powder chooses to embrace her Jinx persona afterwards.
Going further on what has been pointed out above, the parallel stretches itself to the entire end of both arcs. In both cases, a conflict was on the verge of being somewhat solved, but chaos was brought back thanks to Powder/Jinx. In the first act, we have Claggor, Vi, and Mylo almost succeeding in freeing Vander, only for Powder to accidentally kill everyone in a failed explosion. In the final act, she does not only kill someone she cares about by accident, but once again she instigates chaos. The council was about to agree on a peace treaty when she launches a full blown attack on them. Once again she sets off a new conflict, for a new arc. The only difference being that this time, she did it on purpose.
If you count the burglary of Jayce's lab too, it's interesting to see how many plot points were quite literally detonated by explosions caused by Jinx.
While Jinx created doll versions of Mylo and Claggor, it’s Mylo, the one who constantly antagonized her- and is shown to be the voice of her fear and anxiety- who gets a life-sized and detailed representation, while Claggor, the nicer brother, is a small doll with only the boy’s goggles to signify who it is. This can be seen as a visual representation of how much each of them still affects her. Mylo and his taunts are a much bigger presence in Jinx’s head, constantly talking and exacerbating her stresses.
And remember that when Vi explodes at Jinx, she angrily states that "Mylo was right!" And given how Jinx admired Vi and was traumatized by what just happened, she clearly took what her older sister said to heart.
The explicitly contrasted technologies of Shimmer and Hextech also serve as symbolic of the cities of Zaun and Piltover, as well as the story.
Shimmer has ugly results with bulging purple veins, deforming the body but providing extreme physical power at the cost of addiction. It's tested ruthlessly by Singed at Silco's orders. Even with refinement of years, even Sevika has some minor noticeable physical indicators of its use. In other words, much like Zaun, Shimmer even at its best or highest levels has an ugliness and cost.
Hextech is oftentimes beautiful, fitting perfectly with the neat aesthetics of Piltover. Users seemingly face no side effect, especially once the crystals are modified to not explode from impact. But Skarner's backstory reveals that these crystals contain the souls of innocent beings. Like Piltover, it is sleek and impressive but built on the suffering of countless others that the people of Piltover can't or won't see.
That Jinx was able to produce a functional Hextech weapon in such a short time from nothing but a handful of stolen research notes is not (only) because she is "just that good with gadgets", but because her weapon is essentially a smaller version of Piltover's airship accelerator tower, firing an otherwise mostly mundane rocket. The tower was the first major application Jayce and Viktor came up with, so it would be their most understood and best documented design.
In addition, as we see with Victor, give Hextech blood and focusing solely on it can also reveal more runes and their functions. Since what we see of Jinx is that she is mostly spending time alone, and frequently injured, around hextech, no wonder it reveals itself to her!
Why does Vi shout for Caitlyn on the bridge when she hears the gunshot, but not her childhood friend Ekko? Besides the obvious Ship Tease, Caitlyn is the most vulnerable in that situation. She sold her rifle to get Vi’s medicine, and the previous episode showed that she gets knocked out easily with one punch. Meanwhile, Ekko is self-sufficient with his street-fighting and has his Firelight gadgets for protection. Vi would be more worried about someone who is defenseless and without a weapon than someone who could manage on their own.
Ekko has nothing but contempt and hatred for Jinx for the things she's done, and when he had the chance to finish her off once and for all in The Boy Savior, he stayed his hand the moment he looked into her eyes and gave Jinx the opening she needed to set off a grenade. Why did Ekko hesitate to finish off Jinx when he had her dead to rights? He was ready to kill Jinx, but he wasn't ready to kill Powder.
More specifically, in order to execute his strategy to taunt her into an old game and get past Jinx’s gunfire to strike her, he had to get them both to remember their childhood, and get Jinx to act more like Powder so he could predict her actions. Considering how it’s suggested by the mural and his dialogue he usually treats both personas as different people, having to acknowledge she’s both got around his self-imposed mental block.
Ekko and Jinx are both Undercity orphans with talent for gadgets, but end up being polar opposites in literally everything they represent, not just their social life or how they use their inventions, but even in how they live: Ekko's home is at the very bottom of the city, but full of life despite everything, filled with people that have made it beautiful through cooperation. Jinx's is at the top of the shaft - above the people of the lower levels, but constantly hanging over a Bottomless Pit. Not only is it dark and filled with weapons and traumatic souvenirs, the 'floor' itself is a giant ventilation fan - a machine that could likely do wonders for the lives of the people below, but allowed to waste its potential because nobody showed the good will to make it work.
Fishbones (Jinx's Hand Cannon) being shaped like a shark, appropriately, is given additional weight beyond what the original lore shows us. Silco, Jinx's adoptive father, has taken predatory aquatic animals as a metaphor for his survival and aspirations for Zaun. What better way for them, then, to strike back against Piltover's decades-long overlordship (consequences of war be damned) than with what symbolizes Silco's brutalized vengeance?
The series ends up answering something from the game: when Jinx uses Fishbones, why is she spending mana? Shouldn't it be like Pow-pow and use ammo instead? Well, it turns out that, at the end of Season 1, Jinx finishes building Fishbones, which in turn is powered by the Hexgem, meaning that her rockets and Ult are propelled by it and in turn deplete her mana per shot.
When Jayce tells Silco that he doesn't want war between Piltover and the Undercity, it's because he believes they don't stand a chance. While this could just be because he's overconfident of his Hextech, it should be pointed out that Jayce himself is no fighter, at least before the raid. He's a scientist and a hammer forger first. But this does make his point true, for if even a commoner like him, with no prior training or experience in combat, is fully capable of defeating several of Silco's Chem Tanks with one Hextech weapon alone, imagine what could happen if Jayce and the Council manages to outfit their entire forces with these kinds of weapons? As Jayce said, they don't stand a chance.
In the intro, all the characters are depicted as freestanding stone statues, with the sole exception of Caitlyn, who is "trapped" on a relief sculpture before later being depicted as freestanding as well. Also note the lyrics that accompany hers and Heimerdinger's appearances:
Caitlyn: "I'm searching to behold, the stories that are told"
Heimerdinger: "When my back is to the world, that was smiling when I turned"
Vi and Powder's hair styles grow further and further apart as they grow older. As children their hairstyles are very similar, with the few loose braids on Powder being the major difference. As Vi becomes a teenager, her hair is more stylized differentiating◊ her from Powder. And of course, Jinx's incredibly long braids show how different she's become from both who she was as Powder and Vi.
It might seem overly convenient that Vi just happens to activate the shield of the Atlas gauntlets right when Sevika is about to land a falling strike. But remember that the gauntlets are mining equipment. Cave-ins, falling rocks, and dropped tools are all potential hazards in mining, and the cover position Vi takes is one someone might use to protect themselves from such a danger. With that posture and the presence of a falling object (in this case, Sevika), the gauntlets perhaps sensed this combination and activated the shield automatically, which would be preferable to a manual activation.
Jinx gives us a beautiful example from the self-fulfilling prophecy. All she wants is to have Vi's approval and affirmations. But by acting out the way she does, she actually pushes Vi further and further away from her. The fact that she's actually the one that indirectly brought Caitlyn and Vi together, makes all of it an extremely sad irony.
In fact, she did so twice. Caitlyn and Vi met because of the former investigating Jinx and the latter joining in. Later in the series, after Vi left Caitlyn and told her to forget about her, Jinx kidnaps both of them, re-uniting the two once again.
Jinx feels as if Vi had replaced her with Caitlyn. Leaving aside their similarities in weapon choice and hair color, this also applies in a bit of a meta way in regard to their roles in League; among all the main characters, each of them who is playable in-game is of one particular role on a normal team composition. Vi is a jungler, Jayce is a top-laner, and Viktor is a mid-laner. However, there's one exception; both Jinx and Caitlyn are bot-lane Marksmen/AD Carries, so naturally most teams would replace one with the other instead of having both.
Why is Powder/Jinx so desperate to be with Vi? Bottom Lane Marksmen are more vulnerable and require a partner to be at their best.
A weakened and delirious Vi angrily bats away Caitlyn attempting to clean her with a handkerchief. Besides still not trusting Caitlyn, this moment makes sense for one reason: The last time an Enforcer used a handkerchief on her, she was kidnapped and taken to prison.
Despite Ekko making his hatred for Piltover and its Council well-known, he does not have the same hostility towards Heimerdinger when they meet (despite not knowing he is no longer on the council). Two things could explain this: One, Heimerdinger is the only council member who has ever bothered to visit the Undercity and offer help. Two, like Ekko, he is an inventor. They both believe in building a better future through invention, so Ekko would have more in common with the Yordle Professor more than the greedy merchants who run both cities.
Also, Ekko meets Heimerdinger after meeting Caitlyn, a Piltovan Enforcer. The said Piltovan who he was initially hostile to who revealed to her more corruption from her home. And the same Piltovan who didn't act demanding because of her background, didn't keep denying Ekko's anger, and didn't treat him as beneath her simply for being Zaunite. Instead, she validates his concerns and asks him for his help to heal the Undercity. After this encounter, Ekko likely came to understand that his perception that all Piltovans being greedy, selfish Rich Bitches isn't as true as he once thought.
Tying into the above statement it was Caitlyn, a rich Piltovan Enforcer who released Vi from jail and saved her life after a near-fatal wound from Sevika; information that Vi most likely revealed to Ekko after their hug. And now Heimerdinger is offering to assist an injured Ekko.
Ekko may also be taking a page from Vi. Remember, Ekko (like Vi's siblings) admired her and he's known Vi to be an avid Piltovan and Enforcer hater since they were children. Now, he sees her openly trusting and protecting Caitlyn, a Piltovan Enforcer. In other words, Ekko deciding to trust Heimerdinger might be because he was following the example of the person he looked up to as a child.
Marcus shows nothing but annoyance, if not outright contempt, to Caitlyn. This attitude can be explained by various reasons:
She reminds him of himself — Like Marcus, Caitlyn is something of a Hot-BloodedCowboy Cop, often doing things behind their superior's backs to do what they think is right. However, Marcus comes to very much regret these traits as they got Grayson and other Enforcers killed and made him forced to work for Silco. Seeing these traits in Caitlyn and treating her dismissively, is a way for him to (indirectly) admonish himself.
She reminds him of Jinx — Both are blue-haired, intelligent young women who are deadly with a gun, and also happen to be the only child of the ruler of their respective homes (Silco for Jinx, Cassandra for Caitlyn). And said parents do everything in their power to protect their children, even if it means doing something morally unfounded. Marcus can't confront Jinx openly given her volatile nature but it's easier to take his frustrations out on Caitlyn because she's not as violent and is his subordinate.
Caitlyn's disgust at corrupt Enforcers and the horrifying circumstances of Zaun's citizens all comes down to her believing in a fair and equal system. That attitude most likely stems from how often her parents would use their power and prestige to get Caitlyn to win competitions in her youth.
How both Vander and Silco's first actions/fate cement what kind of person Vi and Powder/Jinx will be respectively. For Vander and Vi, they are selfless protectors; for Silco and Powder/Jinx, they are selfish avengers.
How they each met their respective daughters — Both have weapons on them (Vander has his gauntlets visibly out, Silco has a knife hidden behind his back). Vander willingly chooses to give up his weapons and take the girls away from the death and violence, Silco loses the knife only because it got knocked away by Powder's surprise hug and only starts to comfort her when she appeases his own past issues, and doesn't take her from the carnage eve after he consoles her. Vander selflessly chose to care for the children he felt he orphaned while Silco selfishly took in Powder/Jinx because she reminded him of himself.
Their deaths — Vander gives up the chance to kill Silco to protect Vi and his last words to his eldest daughter was to take care of Powder; Silco attempted to kill Vi after being freed from his restraints but was accidentally shot by a confused Jinx, caring more about killing Vander's "prodigy" at the end than comforting his spiraling daughter.
Vander dies near the fire, by a light. In contrast, Silco dies in the darkness.
It's left up in the air if Jinx forced Caitlyn into her Enforcer uniform for the "dinner party" or if the latter just chose it out of fear. Either way, it makes perfect sense:
If Jinx did force her, it would be because she's trying to reinforced to Vi what Caitlyn is - An Enforcer. The people who killed their parents. The people who routinely and unjustly hounded Zaunites. The people who forcibly imprisoned Vi. Jinx only sees Caitlyn as one of the many cruel and corrupt Enforcers who made her life miserable (she even once referred to Caitlyn as "some stupid Enforcer"). She also very likely remembers Vi's own intense hatred of them during their and is trying to remind Vi see Caitlyn as an enemy.
If the above moment didn't happen, then it still makes sense in another thematic reasoning - Vi is going to become the future Piltover Enforcer and throughout Acts 2 and 3, she has been shown through Caitlyn's action that not every Piltovan or even Enforcer is an enemy. And when it came to Jinx's Sadistic Choice, Vi chooses to not harm Caitlyn. And when freed, Vi doesn't go to Jinx but to help an injured Caitlyn. Vi may not know it yet but she's chosen her path as an Enforcer.
Vi was captured and bound by both Ekko (with the Firelights) and Jinx at the end of Acts 2 and 3, respectively. However, she was able to free herself from the former but not the latter. Why? Well, there are actually logical reasons as to why.
1. Vi's energy - In the former case, Vi was recently healed from a near fatal wound with a liquid-like Shimmer (thanks to Caitlyn) and was likely still feeling the effects of it. And while she was knocked out by Scar, there was an unknown amount of time between that and being interrogated by Ekko, in the middle she woke up, with a bag over her head and bound. Thus, she was able to re-energize. In the latter case, she had just been through two major fights, the latter being with a newly armed and fighting expert Sevika. And in that fight with Sevika, Vi nearly went down. And after she did win, she was in an exhausted state before being hit over the head with the butt of a gun by her shimmer-enhanced sister. And unlike the former, she didn't wake up on her own, Jinx woke her up, thus Vi didn't have time to fully recuperate.
2. Interrogator - In the first case, Ekko interrogates with straight and honest questions in calm (if distrusting) manner and doesn't use any sort of violence and/or intimidation; as such, Vi was able to calmly unlock herself while during their conversation. On the other hand, Jinx was emotionally manipulative, volatile, and use the threat of violence to get her way, so Vi was constantly on edge to keep her sister calm.
3. The Types of Binding - In the former case, Vi's hands were tied behind her back, so she could freely unbind herself without alerting Ekko's suspicions. With Jinx, her hands were bound right in front of her and tied to a chair, so an already dangerously impulsive Jinx would be able to see if Vi were to pull any kind of stunt.
In each of Vi's kidnappings at the end of each of the three Parts, they are tied to Powder/Jinx and gradually becomes more personal:
Part 1 - she is drugged and kidnapped by Marcus while being too focused on getting back to Powder, who at the time was being confronted by Silco and his gang.
Part 2 - Again, Vi's attention is drawn away from the main fight because she was horrified to see how violent and brutal her little sister has become. It leads to Scar knocking her and being reunited with Ekko, her little brother figure.
Part 3 - After her exhausting fight with Sevika, Vi is knocked out by a sneaky Jinx, who then takes her back to the "dinner party".
While pleading with Jinx in the season finale, Vi doesn't shout "Dad" despite shouting out "Mom" and their adoptive brothers and father. Seeing that Jinx and Silco have a father-daughter relationship, reminding her of father figures might turn her against Vi.
Counterintuitively, the first person Vi pleads for Jinx to remember is Mylo, who Jinx has the least amount of happy memories with and likely blames for Vi abandoning her, contributing to her breakdown. However, Vi is likely telling Jinx about all the people who loved her, which is why she was careful to exclude anything close to Silco.
"Goodbye" is not only a temporary goodbye between Vi and Powder due to their physical separation, but also a permanent goodbye to Powder, who will never be the same when Vi returns to her.
When he offers himself in place of Jinx, why doesn’t Silco tell Jayce that he will turn himself in and leave the city in the hands of someone else? He likely doesn’t fully trust Sevika, or anyone else but himself and Jinx, to have good intentions (or sufficient competence) with Zaun, and he definitely doesn’t trust that Sevika won’t have Jinx killed or sold out to Piltover.
Creepy Crows sure seem to show up around Jinx a lot, especially when she's close to having a breakdown. Now, who else in League proper has a crow motif, loves inducing fear and despair in its victims, and even has a unique voiceline with Jinx echoing the events of Arcane? Fiddlesticks.
Other people believe the birds are ravens, and therefore point to Swain. Both characters force Jinx to remember that fateful night.
Fiddlesticks: "Jinx! All your fault! All your fault!"note Vi snapping and calling Powder "a jinx" who killed their family.
Swain: "Faces... fading in the flames... it was all her fault."note Jinx blaming Vi for abandoning her and creating the Jinx persona while the hideout burned around them.
As established by this series, even individual Hextech crystal is both incredibly powerful sources of magical power and incredibly important to how Piltover functions in the modern day. However, as we know from League of Legends, in reality they contain the souls of Skarner's people, and he will stop at nothing to retrieve all of them. Considering Skarner is himself equipped with one of the most powerful namestones/Hextech crystals in existence, and his species naturally knows exactly how to use them to full potential, this would naturally make him extremely powerful in the actual lore. Now, what exactly would happen if/whenhe finds Piltover?
In episode 9, Jinx mentions she kidnapped Caitlyn in the morning. However, when she leaves the scene to fire the rocket, it is night (complete with Bad Moon Rising). What did Jinx do to Caitlyn for the whole day?
Figuring out how to get her from the family manor to the cannery across the bridge without anybody noticing.
Also baking her a cupcake, possibly.
Possibly picking out an outfit for her. And maybe dressing her in it.
In a single day, Ekko lost most of his surrogate family, saw one of his closest friends become Silco's top goon, and he saw many other Zaunites (possibly other friends) become addicted to Shimmer. And he was still a child.
If Powder/Jinx hadn't appealed to Silco's humanity, she would've ended up dead like her adoptive father and brothers.
If Marcus wasn't there and Vi managed to run to Powder, chances are both she and Powder would have been murdered by Silco and his goons. She lost Powder the moment she left her.
Marcus made up bogus charges and bribed the corrupt warden to keep Vi imprisoned. Makes one wonder how many innocent Zaunite civilians were wrongly imprisoned at Stillwater by other corrupt Enforcers. And unlike Marcus, did it not out of remorse for their actions, but just to be petty.
Mel's mother has been appointed ambassador of Noxus in Piltower. That means an attack on the Council, you know, like the one done by Jinx at the end of the series, could be seen as attack on the ambassador, and therefore a declaration of war. And considering in the game Noxus is The Empire that's always looking for new conquests, it may show just enough ill will to do exactly that.
Imagine Vi's reaction and demeanor when she first woke up in Stillwater after being drugged and kidnapped by Marcus.
Imagine Marcus' last thoughts as he laid dying — he was still under Silco's thumb and didn't fulfill his mission to kill Caitlyn and Vi. And his daughter is alone and Silco has no problem killing a child. Had Silco not been concerned with Jinx's life, there's a strong possibility he would've killed Marcus' daughter out of pettiness.
Besides the pink-haired Firelight, a couple of other members were killed by Jinx. Ekko and Scar (his surviving companion) had to inform their families of their deaths.
Some of those children in Silco's mines may end up with fatal illnesses because of the environment they "worked" in. Meaning that while they were taken into custody, their lives may have already been shortened.
Some of the residents of the Firelights hideout may not have the best opinion of their mural containing a younger Jinx. Since, she's still alive and is one of Silco's top goons who is making Zaun life harder for them. They have to see the painting of the person who has caused them pain in one way or another. And the probable main reason they don't deface it is out of respect for Ekko.
If Vi wasn't quick, she or Caitlyn could've been hit by one of her bullets. And had Vi been hit and killed, Jinx would've most likely lost any sense of sanity and started murdering people without caution.
It's implied that Mel and her older brother, Kino, had a close relationship (given how Mel developed her cunningness from him). And then she was banished by her mother. As such, Kino was unable to spend his last moments in life with his younger sister.
Cassandra and Tobias spent at least two days knowing their daughter was in the dangerous Undercity but left wondering if she would be used for ransom or worse.
A young, guilty, and traumatized Powder had to retrieve the bodies of her adoptive family that she accidentally killed.
Besides Vi and Powder, there's a good chance other children were left orphaned from Zaun's failed uprising against Piltover. This may have included the girls' adoptive brothers, Mylo and Claggor. And knowing that may have increased Vander's already heavy guilt.
Vi recounts to Powder how Claggor was chased by Enforcers and got stuck. He wasn't taken by the Enforcers but spent the night stuck, unable to get out. His family must've been wondering all night what happened to him.
At some point, Caitlyn had to be told that Grayson, someone she befriended, was killed while on duty.
The loved ones of the Enforcers that Jinx killed in Episode 5, had to be informed of their deaths on a day (Progress Day) that was supposed to be a happy one.
Vi and Powder's parents died in the failed uprising without knowing if their daughters would be properly taken care of.
◊ her from Powder. And of course, Jinx's incredibly long braids show how different she's become from both who she was as Powder and Vi.
