Episode 6: "The Heroic Acts of Shirley"
The focus is on the character of Shirley and her secret life as a protector of The Arches. As the years go by, The Arches continue to perform their music and gain popularity, completely unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows.
Shirley, on the other hand, is always watching over them and keeping them safe from harm. She has become a master at navigating the dark and murky city in which they live, always one step ahead of the dangers that lurk in the shadows. Her heroic acts go unnoticed by The Arches, who remain blissfully unaware of the threats that surround them.
One day, while The Arches are playing a gig at a local bar, a group of dangerous individuals come in looking for trouble. Shirley quickly steps in and takes care of the situation, using her advanced robotic skills to disarm the troublemakers and protect The Arches. However, she does so without drawing attention to herself, and The Arches remain oblivious to her heroism.
As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that Shirley has been keeping The Arches safe from harm for years, even before they became popular. Her dedication to protecting them has become a way of life for her, and she will stop at nothing to keep them safe.
The episode ends with Shirley watching over The Arches as they perform on stage, a look of determination on her face. Although her heroism goes unnoticed by those she protects, she knows that she is doing the right thing and that The Arches are safe because of her.
