16. Operation: P.R.O.M.

Complete story — includes the ending

Gathers meets with Treister to negotiate S.P.H.I.N.X. being left alone in exchange for handing over Monstroso, but when he reveals that Monstroso told him there are Guild moles inside the O.S.I., Treister turns into a " Hulk " and rampages. Cardholder and Doe reveal that Treister actually has prostate cancer and they have been manipulating him to think otherwise, planning to take over when he is deemed too insane to run it. They detain Gathers and go to kill Monstroso, but Treister summons him to the control room and reveals he knows of Cardholder and Doe's deception, having recruited S.P.H.I.N.X. to hide in a fake Monstroso body and detain them. Impressed with Gathers's skill and bravery, he gives him control of the O.S.I. and launches himself into space so aliens can cure his cancer. Rusty throws a prom for the boys at the compound, and Triana goes with Dean as a friend, but leaves in disgust when he cannot get over the fact that she has a boyfriend. Rusty invites several escorts to the prom and drugs them with a lustful chemical made from a mutant fly. 21, burying 24's skull where he died but still being plagued by visions, is invited, and Orpheus helps him realize that he was imagining 24. The Monarch gets in by bribing Hatred with his ex-wife and approaches 21, assuming he is doing undercover work, but 21 quits. Cocktease, undercover in S.P.H.I.N.X., kidnaps the real Monstroso. Brock's pursuit of her ends with her car on the edge of a cliff, and she reveals that she is dating Monstroso and the escorts are actually her assassins that will kill everyone unless she calls them off. When Brock threatens to kill Monstroso, she sends the car off the cliff with her inside, and he races back to the compound to find everyone dancing with the escorts, who have been drugged by Rusty. They mutate into insect creatures and Brock leaps into battle. Post-credits scene: Dermott and Hank help Dean build Triana's name out of wood on her lawn and light them on fire, but all but the "T" collapse. The Outrider finds Dean, dressed in a " ghost " costume, standing in front of the burning T, and gives him earnest advice on moving on from her. Dean considers his advice before telling him "fuck you!"
