MEN E6: Case Closed

Brennan's recap (recap): the villain's weapon is "a gleaming white key made of a frequency from a far-off psychometer aimed and directed at the big guy himself" — 00:00:57; in this episode Elias holds "the schematics of the weaponized ray gun itself, the psychometer ray" — 00:13:20
The ray is Elias's own invention (Madam Loathing: "You invented a mind control ray." — 01:20:45); the papers are "official Gobstopper documents" — 01:33:01; Elias calls the company evil — 01:31:32; the scandal hits Gobstopper and "all the people involved" (Brennan) — 01:39:39; no mastermind is named

Elias's own end (the big guy), Brennan: "having stolen the documents" <…> "acted on his conscience, potentially saved the world from a terrible danger and gotten the number of someone that could truly make him happy as well as most of a birthday cake"; "that brain floods as prohibition ends" — 01:37:51, 01:38:19
Elias — wins the pressure fight; sprints, steals the cake, hails a cab; Danielle: "he gives them the download on everything that's happened"; in a hotel in protective custody with "better shampoo" for the dandruff; will buy new ice skates because his feet "are bigger than they were when he was a kid"; the ice-skating date goes really well (Brennan) — 01:37:40, 01:39:03, 01:42:15
Pressure — 90, then 180 after the alarm, 150, 130, then Elias's Sturdy 8 lowers it by 20 (new level not said); at the cab it "finally releases, for good" (caption) — 00:20:32, 00:26:59, 00:33:12, 00:58:36, 01:38:19

Hunch — heavy hit from Ivana (Sturdy natural 1 against 59), injected adrenaline, heavy injury to Avaricci; collects Moxie freely (Determined); in Trapp's epilogue his Snoop for "Foot Stuff" leads to a night-time sasquatch scene narrated by Brennan, and Hunch says "Another case closed." (twice in the episode) — 00:52:35, 01:08:46, 01:25:49, 01:42:42, 01:54:16

Conrad — gets taller ("I think I might be a little taller", "I'm a little bit taller now") — 00:29:48, 01:43:25; the d100 spirit stat; accepts Madam Loathing; Dan gives him the alley (30 for Conrad, 70 for Dan), he plans a green jacket — 01:14:36, 01:44:19, 01:44:34
The Fix — swallows the white key and later the moral compass; becomes engaged to Pasha; gets Madam Loathing's house and children; Pasha takes the job at FSU — 01:06:44, 01:50:25, 01:52:33, 01:52:54
