Episode Summary
Inside the Sitri Institute, the illusion of control collapses. “Descendent” follows Meg and Tessa as they uncover the Institute’s buried architecture: corridors mapped to ancient cities, rituals replaying through dream loops, and coded panels that speak in tongues older than science.
The deeper they trace Lyra’s recordings, the more those echoes leak into waking life. Confessions, tapes, and memories blur; experiments become possessions. The mythic stations (Sippar, Kutha, Eanna, Ereshkigal, and Ur) resurface not as metaphors but coordinates, gateways leading downward into something that remembers them.
While Meg clings to procedure, Tessa begins to believe. Each revelation feels lived before, each door more familiar. Beneath the clinical language, their descent becomes personal, erotic, and inevitable.
“Descendent” marks the moment the researchers stop observing the dream and start serving it. The Sitri Center itself begins to awaken.
