As more and more people report that they have been missing chunks of their memory, this would need to be looked into. Whether it is Rufus or the Dean, the person responsible for the memory gaps may be exposed in Gen V episode 5.

However, it is likely to be Rufus since he is out to get Marie and she is the one who found a big part of her memory missing. He also holds a grudge against Cate who had tricked him earlier.

Gen V episode 5 may also divulge secrets. There is the added probability of unraveling the wicked activities that were taking place while the leads suffered from amnesia. Marie may start suspecting Shetty’s involvement in all sorts of nefarious activities.

There may be more revelations about the Woods in Gen V episode 5. Since Luke’s brother Sam knows a lot about evil things going around, including the Woods, he may share his knowledge. As the preview shows Sam warning Emma about dangerous people, it shows his trust in her. The only downside will be if Sam sees and destroys more puppets, he will get captured for his schizophrenia.

It is possible that the budding detective Tek-Knight may find out some clues about all the mysterious affairs in God U in Gen V episode 5. He had been acting strange as he looked for them in the previous episode.

A short description of what happened in Gen V episode 4

The fourth episode came up with many threads to follow in future episodes of the show while the ranking of students kept changing. The most baffling was Marie and her allies losing part of their memory.

At the end of the episode, before Marie wakes up beside Jordan, she tries to calm Sam down. However, she was surprised to find herself in bed, apparently not remembering what happened in the interim between the two.

A part of the episode focused on Tek-Knight who refused to leave things alone despite the Dean’s warnings. However, his weird antics were more in focus than any conclusive action on his part. Emma, who was missing for some time woke up next to Sam and told him about his brother’s death.

Sam went to Dr. Cardosa’s house to kill him. Marie and her friends rushed in to try to save Cardosa. Emma grew in size and pinned Sam while Marie tried to calm him. However, since the whole group missed their memory, it is not clear whether they managed to avert Cardosa’s death.
