BITT Prime is the tenth episode and season finale of the second season of Glitch Techs. It was premiered on Netflix on August 17, 2020.[1]
Synopsis
Phil threatens to replace the laggy BITT with a newer model. To save the bot, Miko and High Five poke around inside to fix him themselves.
Plot
Returning from a sewer mission, Five and Miko find BITT lagging due to overcrowded memory and managing all of HQ's functions. To prevent Phil from replacing BITT, the duo take him to clear his memory, and find a massive hidden file titled "Coo-Pie-Caken." Unable to delete and mistakenly activating it, the duo track the rogue BITT, leaving Bergy to run Ops and deal with a roaming Fishwakka Glitch spawning. Pursuing assault mode BITT raiding cooking ingredients and unable to contain him, they resort to an E.M.P. Grenade, but instead trigger his "BITT Prime" form that continues his program. When Fishwakka eats Phil's lunch, he neutralizes all spawn copies, then calls Five and Miko for an update. Following BITT to Phil's house, he activates a hidden lab with the ingredients he took as an organic reaction key to retrieve a ROM cartridge. Miko mistakenly triggers the home security drones and Phil arrives to save them. With BITT's memory cleared and systems restored, he sends the duo back to HQ, and views the mysterious ROM's file: a recording of Phil's younger self telling him corporate wiped his memory, but he saved the recovered data from Hinobi R&D in case things get "glitchy."
