Interior Chinatown - Translator
While the episode's title refers to the latest role Willis (Jimmy O. Yang) takes on after his uncle is arrested allowing for some insight into his uncle, the larger theme of the episode is the continued ripples Willis' actions have had on the world. Lana (Chloe Bennet) uses the tropes of the weekly murder investigation to solve a case in record time allowing for her to grab backup to save Willis from his uncle who it turns out wasn't out to hurt him at all, despite the glitching of the world we see making him appear more dangerous to the detectives. Turner (Sullivan Jones), still despondent over recent events, is reinvigorated by Lana's actions and the pleas of Willis at the end of the episode cementing another shift and putting the case of Willis' brother to the forefront.
With so much in flux it's interesting to see what characters continue to go with the flow and others who attempt to break out of excepted norms. Lily Wu (Diana Lin) has unexpected success in her new endeavor, Uncle Wong (Archie Kao) like Wills and Willis' brother Jonathan (Chris Pang) seems to understand the flaws of this procedural world and the need to escape them (and in the flashback we see Jonathan apparently framed into the role of gangster by the script he's forced to carry out), Audrey (Annie Chang) stands up to the police and the questionable evidence on Wong, Fatty (Ronny Chieng) begins to delegate, and Willis and Lana will both reveal secrets to each other about his brother suggesting there is far more to share. After everything, Willis may finally be getting the answers he's been searching for, but will those be answers he's willing to accept?
