A brief recap of what has happened so far in Gen V season 2

The season began with Marie, Li, and Emma stepping out of the Elmira after the fallout of the last season. While Li and Emma were back at God U, Marie’s path took a different turn. She chose not to enlist herself in the Godolkin; however, she had to, as there is no safe space for her other than her school and her friends. 

Before Marie could arrive, Li accidentally attacked Cate, blaming her for her actions that got them locked up in Elmira and even caused Andre’s death. Marie learns the truth about Dean Cipher, who came into the university with a lot of dark secrets. Through her aunt Pam, Marie got to know that Dean Cipher is behind making Project Odessa successful, and a half-dead man is lying inside his home, too.

The last episode saw a fight between Marie and Li, where they were forced to compete, making Marie the new social media sensation as Li spilled the truth about Andre’s fate in her speech. 

The episode ended with Cipher’s powers being revealed. He has the ability to control people’s minds, which he used on Jordan during their fight. Taking over Jordan’s mind, he fought against Marie, making it clear that the Supes are now in serious danger from Cipher. Earlier, they had already broken into his house, and now they had set up a new scheme to make him confess that he isn’t really a Supe. The upcoming episode 5 will pick up its plot from here on.
