John and Eugene look at two more episodes of Logan’s. First, it’s Futurepast, a story about androids in love, and then Carousel, the episode where Logan returns to the City of Domes to die.

Futurepast Synopsis

Two of Francis’ minions are hot on the tail of Rem and his pets, but through a bit of subterfuge, Logan stuns his pursuers, and Rem disables their vehicle.

They proceed on until they find a fabulous Art Deco building and a beautiful caretaker, Ariana.  Rem sparks every time he’s near her.

She leads Logan and Jessica to comfy beds, where they soon fall asleep and are connected to a dream analysis machine.

Rem demands to know why and learns that, like himself, Arianna is an android, and her job is to put people into the dream analysis lab.  They cannot be awoken, or they will die.  They must let the dreams continue.

Meanwhile, Francis camps impatiently for the night.

Through a series of clips from previous episodes and newly shot footage played through prisms and repeats over and over, we are privy to Logan and Jessica’s dreams, but honestly, I don’t care.  They might die, blah blah blah.

Rem and Arianna are falling in love, which is, of course, impossible

Then they get into a lover’s tiff.  He shoots her, she threatens to shoot him back, he sweet talks his way out of it, and together they come up with a plan to save the sleepers

Francis arrives and kills Arianna, and captures the newly-awakened Logan and Jessica.  Logan tries to convince Francis that the sleep analysis machine is actually the way to Sanctuary, and he falls for it!

Rem and his pets escape once more, but not before repairing Arianna and making a tearful farewell.

Carousel Synopsis

Francis is hot on Rem and his pet’s tails when the solar vehicle stops operating.  Getting out to defend themselves, Logan is shot by locals with a dart, and Rem and Jessica are teleported into a very cost-effective holding area.

They are told that the people who live in this area protect themselves by forcing erasing the memory of the last year from visitors’ minds and then sending them on their way.  Logan was carrying a weapon; therefore, they erased his memory immediately.  Rem and Jessica have been brought in to be told that their memory will be erased, and then they will be released.  Jessica pleads that erasing their memories will result in serious harm to them.  They deliberate.

Meanwhile, Logan has recovered and cannot figure out where he is.  Francis comes along, and Logan is completely compliant and disbelieving that he could possibly be a Runner.  He agrees to return to the City of Domes for a truth scan.

Rem and Jessica’s captures agree to release them unmolested, and they follow Logan back to the City of Domes.

Breaking back in, Jessica meets up with the Underground Runner Railroad and explains what’s happening.  They agree to help because Logan, testifying at Carousel that Sanctuary doesn’t exist, would be a significant blow against their movement.

Francis is happy that his old pal is back in the Sandman game, and they can continue to kill Runners together.  When they hunt their first Runner, Logan hesitates, and Francis must make the kill.  Logan reminds Francis that it was his turn to take the kill.  Francis buys this, but what does Logan actually think?

The Runners must know what Logan knows, so Rem suggests Jessica seduce Logan, which she tries, but ultimately cannot because Logan is her friend.  Instead, she spills the beans that she is the Runner Jessica 6 and that they’ve been together outside.  Did I mention that Logan is in full-on Sandman mode right now? 

It wasn’t Jessica’s best idea because Logan raises his gun to kill the Runner… but he cannot quite bring himself to do it and tells our hero to get out.  Heartbroken, Jessica returns to the Runners’ base and tells them the news.

Here’s where it gets tricky.  Francis is happy to have his best friend back, but when the elders tell him that Logan must testify at assembly before Carousel, Francis worries that Logan will die in Carousel.  “Relax,” say the elders, we just need Logan to denounce Sanctuary, and then he can return to his former life.  Relieved, Francis believes them, but when he leaves the room, suddenly, it’s all, “oh, yeah, he’s going to die at Carousel.”

The Runners know that Logan must be stopped, so they hatch a plan to capture him and hold him until the memory wipe fades.

As Logan heads to Carousel, he leaves a message behind for Jessica.  His memory has returned, and he plans to announce that Carousel and Renewal are lies before the Assembly – knowing that this will get him killed.

Jessica and her friends rescue Logan.  Francis cries, “curses, foiled again,” and Rem and his pets escape the City of Domes once more.
