Part 5/8:
Upon his return, Ricky faces intense scrutiny when put under the media spotlight as the ambassador for the Overlords. Despite initial success in conveying their humanitarian intentions, the pressure of difficult press questions begins to unravel him, particularly his emotional connection to his late wife. As he navigates public relations, the Overlords begin making considerable strides in alleviating humanity’s struggles with famine, war, and disease.
Against this backdrop, Ellie and Ricky’s relationship begins to fray due to his ongoing interactions with Carolyn. The world seems to blossom; however, the shadows of dissent arise as Way forms the clandestine Freedom League, positioning them against the Overlords to restore humanity’s autonomy.
