Basically i thought ep 8 would basically be the carnival adventure and ep 9 would have a lil of the ep 8 we got, basically my speculation was that in the first half of the ep caine goes crazy but not like in ep 8 but more,that he gets more desperate and that he over the course of the ep speedruns adventures for the cast kinda like ep 5 but more fast paced with each new adventure being more unfinished and glitchy cuz caine is rushing them trying to find the "perfect adventure" that the cast will love so his advemtures get more chaotic messed up and downright cruel and more choppy and glitchy until halfway in the ep something happens that makes caine realize that they truly never liked his adventures making him "give up" instead of crash out,this causes caine to abstract himself and he becomes his own unique abstraction monster but then the whole circus glitches the fuck out cuz caine is abstracted and then the cast try to come up with a plan to fix caine,then kinger uses a "real administrator pass" to enter caines mindscape kinda like jax in ep 9 and in the end kinger and caine have heartfelt talk until kinger finally reboots his ai restarting everything, this causes the whole circus to get deleted and all of them stranded in the void,caine comes back but as a proper new imrpoved ai and is basically good now, he grants all of the characters adminisyrator passes and allows them to create from scracth and basically create their own world as they please,then it ends

What i thought ep 9 would be before ep 9 and 8 dropped
