Killjoys - 'Full Metal Monk'

Eww!
D'av and Turin track down a Six in Oldtown, and D'av discovers a new string to his Green-power bow when he makes the Six's eyeballs explode. Umm... yay?

In pursuit of the Sixes and of Aneela, Dutch, D'av and Alvis travel to Arkyn - now bereft of its protective shell - n search of Aneela and discover another of Khlyen's safehouses, this one opening at Dutch's touch to an elevator. Below the surface they find an antiquated Six lab, where the Scarbacks who came to fight the Devil were injected with the plasma, one surviving in a cell made of the same sort of wall as surrounds Oldtown.

Speaking of Oldtown, Pawter gets Johnny out of the clink and they head into that grim metropolis in search of the means by which Jelco plans to destroy the people. They realise that contraband is slipping in and that the Company plans to send in poisoned food to winnow out the weak and leave only strong workers, but unfortunately the wall also serves to sedate the mind, inducing a euphoric state. They get another of the Nine to come and see their evidence, but wind up high as kites and powerless to stop Jelco murdering their potential ally and framing them via the power of selfies.

Not good.
The SixMonk identifies Dutch as Aneela, and as the Devil they came to fight, and Khlyen as Aneela's father. Then he asks for death and refuses to forgive Dutch for delivering it. With just a little more information, the team leave Arkyn and look for Johnny, but with the poisoned food on its way and all of Oldtown on a permanent high, is it too late to get the band back together?

Okay, so this episode was kind of a downer, especially watching Pawter and Johnny stumble drunkenly to their downfall. There is nothing more dismaying in Killjoys than watching Jelco win. I really want Dutch to punch his head off. And Delle Sayah, who was revealed as his ally in this diabolical plot (although they prefer sinister scheme.)
