The Architect

The Architect is the 5th episode of Generator Rex

Plot
Having fled Providence in Lockdown, Rex is traveling through a desert when he comes across a construction crew under attack by rat-like E.V.O.s.

After Rex intervenes to save them, the foreman Caleb invites him to a nearby optically-cloaked village of engineers, who are working to create communication between the nanites and humans, in an attempt to achieve harmony and peace, all under the direction of a mysterious man they call "the Architect."

The idyllic atmosphere and the sense of belonging he experiences during dinner with Caleb's family convince Rex to stay. He offers to help the engineers with the huge antenna at the center of the village, but becomes suspicious when he discovers that no one is allowed inside the antenna except the Architect himself.

Rex barges into the tower to discover that the Architect is an android, a creation of the rogue AI ZAG-RS, the computer that is supposed to be the base behind the communicator. The AI explains that the nanites constrain its potential, and that the transmitter's actual purpose is to transmit a self-destruct command to all nanites on Earth, which would wipe out all life on the planet.

Rex leads the engineers in a struggle against multiple copies of the Architect to disable the charging antenna, succeeding just in time. Agent Six, who had found Rex by tracking his battles to find him, arrive just in time to help fight off the Army of Architect Robots; ZAG-RS uploads itself elsewhere, and Jacob and the other engineers decide to stay in their village and continue working on a way to control the nanites in spite of the Architect's betrayal. Rex decides to return to Providence, as he believes in its objective despite his dislike of White Knight, but only on the condition that Rex, Bobo Haha, Agent Six, and Dr. Holiday have dinner together like a family every Friday night.
