7Stripes2003-02-1324 minRoger is still having strange flashbacks. He can only assume that they are memories, but he's not quite sure.

8The Third Big2003-02-2024 minRoger Smith & Dan Dastun race to R. Dorothy's aid, while Alex Rosewater finally unveils ""Big Fau"". But can he control the power of a MegaDeus once it is unleashed?
9Hydra2003-02-2724 minRoger is unsympathetic to Alex's problems. Alex pushes his science group to reactivate the Big Fau. Underground tremors and a power outage draw attention to these tests, and the union spy Vera unleashes a three-headed giant electric eel. Once again, Roger and the Big O find themselves facing a giant monster to protect all of Paradigm City.
10Twisted Memories2003-03-0624 minBeck!!!!! I love it when that guy shows up; it makes me feel all alliterative inside. Let's see... Beck's back, with an army of annoying android assassins [oh yeah, it's gonna be one of *those* episodes]. Alex Rosewater deals with his Daddy Issues in a very negative way [so long, Amber Waves of Grain(tm)], while at the same using Beck to kidnap R. Dorothy. And we're just gettin' warmed up...
11The Big Fight2003-03-1324 minRoger Smith and Big O slug it out with Alan Gabriel and ""Big Duo Inferno"" (hereafter referred to simply as ""Big Duo""), while Alex Rosewater uses R. Dorothy's Memories to complete Big Fau. And the Union is still out there...
12The War of Paradigm City2003-03-2024 minWhen high-altitude bombing levels Paradigm City, Alex Rosewater proclaims his ""New Order"". Meanwhile, Roger Smith and Angel uncover the soul-shattering secrets behind the Event, and the founding of Paradigm City.
13The Show Must Go On2003-03-2724 minFrom the cover of ""Scientific American"", August 2003... ""ARE YOU A HOLOGRAM? (Quantum physics says the entire universe might be)"" Now just imagine if that was really the case, and you'll have ""The Show Must Go On"" in a nutshell, which is apparently where Paradigm City has been all these years. As for the rest... R. Dorothy rises from her deathbed, thanks (in part) to Beck. Roger Smith and Alex Rosewater stage the Showdown of the Century, while Gordon Rosewater shows Angel her true destiny. Oh, and that little prank by Adult Swim? We are not amused.
