EPISODE CONTEXT

Arriving at the midpoint of the series, 'Moving Waves' escalates the boomer crisis from a systemic problem into an immediate, personal threat — carrying forward the internal fractures established in 'I Surrender' and the Knight Sabers' hardsuit rebuild efforts. The headquarters siege format narrows the scope deliberately, making the danger feel visceral and local before the story broadens again. It feeds directly into 'We Built This City,' signaling a strategic shift from reactive containment toward a larger offensive reckoning with the boomer menace.
