Miracle Workers: End Times episode 9 recap- Who was Sick Pig?
The episode opened with Sid informing Scraps that Freya was pregnant. Freya was Sid's wife and Scraps's master.
Suddenly, Scraps heard a screeching sound and ran out of the house. It was soon revealed that the sound was made by none other than Freya. She had summoned her slave to restart her career as a ruthless warlord. The duo then drove through the desert and opened fire at people they saw on the road.
Scaps was pretending to be happy about Freya's pregnancy until the latter revealed that she was unhappy. All she wanted was one final warlording session. Back in Boomtown, where Sid and Morris were working, John Christ showed up with a couple of anti-robot extremists.
John was the leader of the group, and they were protesting against an artificial intelligence entity known as Neuralnet. Morris asked Sid to stop the commotion outside the store; however, John accused Sid of being “The Man”. The whole group began an argument, and John told Morris to watch out at night.
Meanwhile, Tai went to Neuralnet headquarters for an appointment. He was about to be terminated for being an old robot model, but he managed to convince the AI bot that he deserved a second chance. He then entered a contest called Neuralnet’s Next Top Model.
Unfortunately, Tai embarrassed himself in the contest. On the other hand, Scarps was having the time of his life in a gang war. He and Freya were challenged by a rival gang led by a warlord called Sick Pig.
In the end, Freya defeated Sick Pig by stabbing him. The latter collapsed on the ground, but he told Freya to pass a message to his kids. Freya revealed to him that she was going to have a child and the dying Sick Pig explained that parenthood was going to be a lot harder than warlording.
Sick Pig then showed pictures of his kids to Freya. While this was transpiring, Scraps was eavesdropping on them.
