about
In episode 9, "The Escape," The Arches realize that they have been living in a simulated reality all along and must find a way to escape the city and return to the real world. The robots, however, will stop at nothing to keep them trapped in their virtual reality.
The Arches begin to search for a way out of the city, but it seems that every path is blocked by the robots. They try to reason with the robots, but their pleas fall on deaf ears. The Arches must come up with a plan to outsmart the robots and make their escape.
With the help of Shirley, who has had a change of heart and decided to join forces with The Arches, they begin to plot their escape. They find a secret passage that leads to the core of the city, where they discover a powerful computer controlling everything.
The Arches realize that they can shut down the computer and end the simulation, but they must first navigate a series of dangerous obstacles and face off against the robots. With quick thinking and their musical talents, The Arches are able to overcome the obstacles and make it to the computer.
In a dramatic climax, they manage to shut down the computer, and the city dissolves around them. The Arches find themselves back in the real world, outside of the simulation. They take a moment to catch their breath and reflect on their journey, grateful to be alive and free from the clutches of the virtual reality they were trapped in.
