EPISODE CONTEXT

With only four episodes remaining after this one, 'Life' sits in the critical convergence zone where Betterman's long-gestating mysteries around the Akamatsu Industries conspiracy and the nature of Betterman himself should be moving toward resolution. The preceding episodes have been tightening the screws on the central cast, and this episode's title suggests the series may be directly confronting its core thematic questions around what it means to survive and exist. What unfolds here likely sets the conditions for the final act's climax.
