"Paint the Town Blue" is the fourth episode of the second season of Arcane, and the 13th overall.
Synopsis[]
As rumors of Jinx's return swirl, Ambessa pursues her target with renewed enthusiasm. Jinx and Sevika go undercover and into the belly of the beast.
Plot[]
Laying by her bedside, Caitlyn contemplates the current events, and Maddie, sleeping beside her, listens to her lament.
At an undisclosed location, Jinx has a match against Isha using two bugs called Stink Maw and Scuttle Butt to settle their score. Ultimately, Isha wins, and Jinx is forced to follow Isha's request to give her a makeover that makes her appear just like herself. After this, Jinx has a heart-to-heart with Isha about how she reminds her of her sister Vi. Although Isha wants Jinx to fight, Jinx tells her she's renounced her old ways.
At another undisclosed location, Ambessa beside Rictus watches as a scientist runs an experiment on the hexcore crystal. The experiment is deemed a failure as the scientist is vaporized after he activates the machine the crystal was attached to. Ambessa lashes out at the failure and that both Jayce and Heimerdinger are missing, but also the Black Rose has her daughter, which Rictus assures her all will be fine.
Later, Rictus captures a Jinx sympathizer and openly declares to the onlookers that Jinx is not a savior. As it happens, Isha, dressed as her, appears and creates a scene, causing the other sympathizers to take down the Enforcers there.
Afterward, Caitlyn and Maddie discuss the Jinx copycat event until they're joined by Ambessa, who requests a private chat with Caitlyn. Hence, Maddie leaves, and Ambessa expresses her concern that Jinx would ignite a staunch resistance by the Zaunites against them. Despite not trusting Ambessa and her ways, she asks Ambessa if she has any ideas, and she proposes arresting someone who may know of Jinx's location. Caitlyn was questionable on that, citing peace must always be settled with violence, but Ambessa argues that it must be done and leaves the final decision to her.
A drunken Salo receives his Shimmering treatment from Lest, all while he laments about his faded fame. Before Lest leaves, she suggests that Salo seek further treatment from a man from the fissures who have performed miracles on Shimmer addicts.
Sevika visits Jinx's hideout to confront her about her stunt done at the checkpoint and the buzz surrounding her return. However, Jinx refuses to appear despite Sevika trying to coax her by mentioning Silco. Before leaving, Sevika mentions a rally with her sympathizers at Vander's statue.
Later, Jinx has a heart-to-heart with Silco's old chair that she superimposes as Silco himself.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn admires the dead council member's statue; Rictus interrogates the Jinx sympathizer and learns about the rally at the statue, and Scar pays his respects at the Firelights tree.
Eventually, Sevika holds the rally as promised at Vander's statue, where, after her compelling speech, Isha stands on top of the statue and lights up a blue flare. Moments after she does, Rictus tosses his weapon at Sevika, severing her mechanical arm, and he, alongside Noxus soldiers and Enforcers, starts mass arresting everyone there. Isha futilely tries to fight against Rictus but is easily outmatched by him. Singed, who cared a runic symbol on his hand with a knife, holds his hands in the air for the Enforcers who threaten to shoot him. While he does this, the blood from his hands drips onto the ground as the beast in his lair awakens.
Returning to her hideout, Jinx finds that Isha is gone. Soon, Sevika arrives and informs her that Isha was at the rally and everyone there was arrested. The news causes Jinx to experience one of her psychosis episodes.
Riding a vehicle to prison, Isha talks to the calm Singed, who tells her the secret: they won't be staying long. As it so happens, the monster from his basement follows his scent to where Singed Blood is left and follows its trail.
To gain access to the prison, Jinx and Sevika steal an Enforcer outfit, which Jinx puts on and grants them access to the prison. It's there that as the Warden stamps them in, Ambessa passes by, but does not engage with them.
Granted access into the prison, Sevika and Jinx take out the guards and release the prisoners there.
Outside, Ambessa has an encounter with Singed's Monster.
Right as Jinx and Isha reunite with each other, several Enforcer guards arrive, but are soon taken out by Singed's monster, who arrived in an elevator. Jinx fights against the creature as Sevika takes Isha and runs. When the creature has Jinx at his mercy, he regains his consciousness and calls Jinx, Powder.
