The Boy Savior is the seventh episode of the first season, and the seventh episode overall.
Official Synopsis[]
Caitlyn and 
Vi meet an ally in Zaun's streets and head into a frenzied battle with a common foe. 
Viktor makes a dire decision.[1]
Plot[]
Caitlyn and Vi wake up handcuffed to metal pipes and blinded by burlap sacks over their heads. They argue briefly until someone enters the room and takes Vi away, leaving Caitlyn alone.
One of the Firelights removes the sack from Vi's head and leaves her alone with the gang's leader. The leader removes his mask, revealing himself to be 
Ekko. Ekko explains that he thought Vi was dead and begins to question her, still unsure if he can trust her. Vi is adamant that she knows nothing about the hextech gemstone and that she isn't working for 
Silco. Eventually, she shirks off her handcuffs and embraces Ekko in a hug, saying that she missed him. After a moment, Ekko reciprocates, shedding a single tear as he does.
After examining Viktor's research, 
Singed offers him a vial containing a variant of Shimmer, which he claims will allow him to survive a "violent transition." However, he warns Viktor that taking this path will cause the Topsiders to despise him, revealing that he parted ways with 
Heimerdinger for similar reasons. Viktor takes the shimmer, telling himself that 
Jayce will understand.
Jayce is hard at work at the forge when 
Mel approaches him. He shows her the grenade given to him by 
Marcus, showing disbelief at the quality of its engineering. He also expresses guilt for having betrayed his former mentor, Heimerdinger, but Mel assures him that he did the right thing.
Sevika informs Silco that Marcus has shut down the border between Piltover and Zaun, and that the Chem-Barons have called for an assembly. Silco says he needs to find 
Jinx, but Sevika suggests that she'll reappear "when she's ready."
Jinx returns to her workshop and begins stitching the gash in her leg while arguing with the voice of Mylo in her head. Mylo berates her, but Jinx tries to stay positive, telling herself that Vi came back for her, not the crystal.
Ekko introduces Vi to his new home: a small, sequestered settlement centered around a massive tree (a rare sight in Zaun). He explains that the settlement has become a refuge for victims of Shimmer. He shows Vi a large, painted mural commemorating their dead. It prominently features 
Violet, 
Powder, 
Mylo, 
Claggor, 
Vander, 
Benzo, and numerous others. Someone is in the process of adding the pink-haired girl that reminded Jinx of Violet. Ekko tries to convince Vi that Powder is gone and that Jinx can't be saved, but Vi refuses to give up on her sister.
A riot has broken out at the border, with enforcers struggling to hold the line. Viktor sits on the 
Piltover side, and Jayce arrives on Marcus's notice. Jayce admonishes Viktor for the optics of his own partner violating the blockade, but Viktor is baffled that Jayce is the one who ordered it. Viktor explains that he was visiting Zaun in search of someone he knew who could help save his life. Jayce asserts that people from the undercity are dangerous, but Viktor angrily reminds him that he's from the undercity. He also lies, saying that "this friend of [his]" was unable to offer any assistance.
The Chem-Barons hold their assembly: 
Finn, 
Smeech, 
Chross, 
Renni, and 
Margot. Finn bemoans that with the border shut down, the Barons are bleeding money, and he decries Silco for "losing control." Finally, Silco arrives with Sevika. Finn and the others question him, suggesting that they cut a deal with Topsiders and return the gemstone. In response, Sevika dons a gas mask, turns off the ceiling fan, and drops a metal tank which begins filling the room with an invisible gas. The other Barons begin coughing and choking, but Silco seems immune to its effects as he distributes gas masks to everyone except Finn. He lectures the Barons, reminding them that the undercity had nothing before he "gave them a taste of Topside." Eventually, Finn collapses on the floor, begging Silco for the final mask. Silco takes a deep breath through the mask before finally bequeathing it to Finn. At last, Sevika restarts the ceiling fan and swings the doors open, airing out the room. Having made his point, Silco takes his leave.
Elora brings a letter to Mel, and Mel instantly recognizes the binding wax seal as her 
family crest.
A masked child removes Caitlyn's restraints and offers her a bowl of water, but she swats it from the child's hand. Ekko, sitting in the doorway, dismisses the child. Caitlyn begins to negotiate for Vi's release, but Vi appears behind Ekko, free and unharmed. Ekko explains that Vi has vouched for Caitlyn, and so he'll allow her to return to Piltover.
Jinx reappears before Silco, seizing the device he uses to inject Shimmer into his damaged eye. She confronts him for lying about Vi, using the needle to create tiny stab wounds across his face. Silco claims he only wanted to protect Jinx, accusing Vi of returning only for the crystal, not for her sister. He reminds Jinx that he found her and gave her a home after Vi left her. Visibly distressed, Jinx finally uses the device for its intended purposes, injecting Silco's eye with Shimmer and storming out of the room.
Ekko and Caitlyn get into a heated argument. Ekko claims that Silco pays the 
Enforcers to hunt his people "like animals," but Caitlyn doesn't believe it. He confronts her about the gemstone, and she explains its purpose: that it can be used to build any hextech device. Ekko wants to use it to fight back against Silco, but Caitlyn believes she can bring an end to the conflict if she can present the crystal to Jayce and the Council. After some convincing, Ekko agrees on one condition: that he deliver the crystal himself.
Viktor carefully dismantles Jinx's grenade. Mel theorizes that someone in Zaun may be weaponizing hextech and suggests that Jayce and Viktor build their own weapons. Viktor passionately rejects the idea, arguing that they invented hextech to improve lives, not to take them. Jayce, however, is conflicted. In his distress, Viktor nearly sets off the grenade, but cuts a wire and deactivates it.
Heimerdinger dons a cloak and sails across the river to Zaun.
Ekko says his goodbyes to the Firelights and leaves along with Vi and Caitlyn. They see a swarm of insects which glow with an eerie green light. Vi tells Caitlyn, who has never seen them before, that the creatures are called "Firelights."
Jayce discovers a drawing he made as a child, depicting himself as a hero wielding a large mechanical hammer. He hugs his mother, lamenting that he may have to do something he never thought he would.
Viktor retrieves the vial of Shimmer he received from Singed, hidden in the handle of his crutch. He carves runes into his leg brace as well as his own skin. Finally, he injects himself with the drug and cuts open his hand, feeding his blood to the hex core. He screams in pain as Shimmer and magic infuse into his bloodstream, beginning a violent transition.
Ekko, Vi, and Caitlyn begin to cross the Bridge of Progress back to Piltover, but Vi stops. She says that she needs to go back for her sister, and leaves Ekko and Caitlyn to go ahead without her. Jinx is perched high upon the bridge's supports, watching them with great interest through a spyglass.
Ekko and Caitlyn encounter the blockade, Enforcers commanding them to halt. Caitlyn sees Marcus and flashes her badge, saying she has proof that Silco is behind everything. Not seeing any other option, Ekko brandishes the canister containing the gemstone. Marcus steps forward and shoots Ekko in the torso, training his pistol on Caitlyn and picking up the canister as the boy collapses. Hearing the gunshot, Vi doubles back to rejoin her friends. Marcus seems to struggle internally, knowing he needs to kill Caitlyn to protect himself, but appearing unable to do so. Mysteriously, a swarm of firelights descends on the scene. Closer inspection reveals that the insects are mechanical replicas, and without warning, they explode, wreaking havoc on the blockade.
Jinx arrives in the wake of the false firelights, which were apparently by her design. With her shock pistol, she executes a struggling enforcer. Many others lay dead. Caitlyn attempts to stand, but her leg is wounded. Marcus begins to speak and dies mid-sentence. Vi rushes to Caitlyn's side and helps her to her feet. Jinx retrieves the canister and slings it over her shoulder. Upon seeing Vi and Caitlyn, she is enraged, believing Caitlyn to be a corrupting influence bent on turning Vi against her. She fires Pow-Pow at the pair, forcing them to jump out of the way.
Ekko appears on his hoverboard, having survived Marcus's shot via a metal plate hidden under his clothes. He knocks the minigun out of Jinx's hands and steals back the canister, throwing it to Vi and Caitlyn and telling them to go. Reluctantly, the pair shuffle away, leaving Ekko behind to fight Jinx. Jinx fires her shock pistol, but Ekko remembers a game he played with Powder when they were kids, and uses it to predict and dodge Jinx's shots. He tackles her, pins her to the ground, and beats her viciously. However, seeing Jinx's bloodied nose and frightened expression causes him to momentarily hesitate, taking pity on the girl he once knew. Jinx takes the opportunity to pull a grenade's pin. Both of them are engulfed in the resulting explosion.

Trivia[]
- At the beginning of the episode, the "Misfit Toys" music section showcases most of the currently alive Firelight members wearing their unique masks (including a mask from the recently killed firelight in episode 4).
- This episode is the official reveal of Ekko as the Firelight leader.
- When Ekko shows Vi the hextech gemstone, the container he is holding it in resembles the Z-Drive he has in Runeterra Prime lore.
- When Ekko shows Vi the hextech gemstone, the container he is holding it in resembles the
- There is an empty bathtub in Jinx's workshop which is a reference to the bathtub in her Get Jinxed music video.
- On and next to the Firelight memorial wall several things and people can be seen, such as: a plushie of Vander; a plushie of Teemo, an image of the drunken Zaunite (easter egg of the founder of Fortiche Productions); mural paintings of Vander, Benzo, Claggor, Mylo, Powder, Vi, the Firelight girl Eva killed in episode 4 (currently being painted), and murals of numerous other firelight loved ones.
- When the shot pans to Powder's mural, Jinx's theme can be heard in the background.
- During the bridge scene, one of the protestors (the one holding a Molotov) turns out to be the beta version of Silco[2].
- The Chem Baron meeting happens at the top of a building rising up to the surface of Piltover. Five symbols at the side of the building represent the five Chem Barons ruling Zaun at that time, with Silco's eye "S" symbol being above them all.
- Caitlyn's Council Archive revealed the names of several Chem Barons present during the meeting: Renni (female baron with black feathery attire), Smeech (Yordle baron with augmented body), Finn (male baron with the gold skeletal jaw and tattoos), and Chross (male baron with the flat hat and Piltovan attire), with only the blond female Baron remaining unnamed.
- Her name was revealed to be Margot in Secret Cinema's live action immersive experience, Enter the Undercity.
- Her name was revealed to be
- Finn has a Calligraphy of his tattoo very similar to Noxus' on his chest as well as hyena like tattoos on his face, appears to be inspired by Yakuza gangsters.
- The room the meeting is occurring in is a cultivair, with many different plants creating fresh and scented air. When the fans stop working and when Silco releases the Zaunite polluted air from a canister, the plants can later be seen to have withered and died.
- Caitlyn's Council Archive revealed the names of several Chem Barons present during the meeting:
- The runes on the Hexcore are a reference to the League of Legends in-game runes: Precision, Domination, Sorcery, and Resolve. Only Inspiration is missing on the Hexcore.
- In Jayce's room, when he says goodbye to his mother, a drawing of himself from a young age as a superhero armed with a magic hammer can be seen on his bed. This is foreshadowing him creating the Mercury Hammer and becoming a hero to Piltover.
- On the childhood image, several rune scribbles can be seen. These are the same runes used by the wizard that saved him and his mother shown in episode 2.
- When Ekko arrives to save Vi and Cait, his theme can be heard in the background.
- When Jinx confronts Ekko, the scene resembles the splash art from her Arcane skin.
- A flashback of them as children playing ball appear before the fight. Their childhood appearances are also referenced in the Enemy music video.
- The flashback alternates between 2D and 3D imagery, with young Ekko failing to dodge Powder's shot and using a clock to stop time. The whole flashback sequence ends with a rewinding time sequence resembling Ekko's future Z-Drive Chronobreak ability.
- When Jinx confronts Ekko, the scene resembles the splash art from her
Precision, 
Domination, 
Sorcery, and 
Resolve. Only 
Inspiration is missing on the Hexcore.

Misfit Toys
I declare war
On anybody standing in the way of what I dream for
How could you ignore
The ones that are voiceless, screams from the poor
They only here to score
I do it for the underground kings that’ll need more
I’m kickin’ down your door
If I wonder why you got a pocket full of green for
It’s all about the get back
It’s hard to give back while the politicians kick back
They say I’m only brick rap
Well that’s the foundation of this mountain that I live at
I can get you kidnapped
These kids ain’t playin’ with you, actin’ like you live rap
And all those little mishaps
That only happen to you misfits, I’m here to fix that
Time to dig up your grave
Make it lower your voice
I told you not to play with the misfit toys
We running this gang
Getting sick of your noise
You stranded with a bad bunch of misfit toys
Rich get richer while the poor pickpocket
Swipes Maxwell ‘til the cops come knockin’
Have or have not, bein’ broke is not an option
Time after time when you got a thing for watches
When you the plug in the socket
And the powers that be can’t stop it
So obnoxious, borderline toxic
Both sides go to war like a mosh pit
Now let me switch up the optics
Our neighborhoods held us hostage
Some nights we slept in our closets
Gun fights was outside the projects
So you can't blame me for nonsense
I'm here to collect deposits
All else defies the logic
My people need me beside them
Time to dig up your grave
Make it lower your voice
I told you not to play with the misfit toys
We running this gang
Getting sick of your noise
You stranded with a bad bunch of misfit toys
Don't play with the misfits
Come play with the misfits
Don't play with the misfits
Come and play with the misfits
I told you don't play with the misfits
Must be deaf dumb and blind you a triplet
Don't you make me erase your existence
All by my lonely need no assistance
Any disrespect gets met with a vengeance
Burn down gossip and hidden agendas
We set the tone for all to remember
You rewrite history the greatest pretenders
You rewrite history the greatest pretenders
Time to dig up your grave
Make it lower your voice
I told you not to play with the misfit toys
We running this gang
Getting sick of your noise
You stranded with a bad bunch of misfit toys
Don't play with the misfits
Come play with the misfits
You stranded with a bad bunch of misfit toys
Dynasties & Dystopia
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
In this gothic underground city
We all sin
If I bring a couple rounds with me
Then we all win
I came back and brought the crown with me
The king's den
Break your nexus and your neck 'cause
Everybody's on your head
I might, just might kick your butt
Go run amok then paint my nails
Never learned to raise my hand
Was too busy raising hell
Everything I know I am
You should go and save yourself
Thought you had my number, huh?
Congratulations you played yourself, self
Underground utopia dynasties and dystopia
Fear is never an option so dying's not a real phobia
I'm beating the odds
Rising to every occasion as if I defeated the gods
Switch up the mod
Nothing but champions comin' up rolled in one little squad
Hold still while I bag that, uh
Talk bad 'til I snap back, uh
This ain't brown this that dark black
This that pitch black, jet black
Snap yo' ex watch me give him flashbacks
Pressure's rising fast as lighting they can't stop it now
If you ain't talking realness then just change the topic now
They laughing at the top like they can't see the bottom
And they thought I needed help but I got here without them
I am sharper than a pack of hundred razor blades
When the smoke clears, outta here, bet they name gon' fade
Ima be here doing it, doing it, my way
They said I should I change it up
But what did I say?
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Hold still while I bag that, uh
Talk bad 'til I snap back, uh
This ain't brown this that dark black
This that pitch black, jet black
Snap yo' ex watch me give him flashbacks
I get that magic all on me
I feel like I'm Tracy McGrady
Enemies circled around me three-sixty
I count 'em one-eighty
I've been in court with the spirit beside me since I was a baby
Just getting chaotic y'all made me a product for
causing the chaos right here where they raised me
In this gothic underground city
We all sin
If I bring a couple rounds with me
Then we all win
I came back and brought the crown with me
The king's den
Break your nexus and your neck 'cause
Everybody's on your head
Ooo yeah he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds,
Throw me in the sky
you would swear the sun shining,
Ooo yeah he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds,
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Dynasties and dystopia, dynasties and dystopia
Dynasties and dystopia, dynasties and dystopia
Dynasties and dystopia, dynasties and dystopia
Dynasties and dystopia, dynasties and dystopia
