Raised by Wolves: Virtual Faith (2020)
Season 1, Episode 3
A Complicated Con, Simplified
18 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Mother suddenly blurts out the secret about Tempest's pregnancy to all the kids. She then tells them a story they're not allowed to hear and dramatically demonstrates her propensity to suddenly blow them off with high-powered determination.

In the past leading up to the present future, we see that Paul plays alone obsessively in the simulation and his parents never talk to him again.

Back in the present, the kids sit around coughing and causing severe internal distress with public opinion regarding Tempest's rape.

As the kids progressively develop the same characteristic illness, Campion postulates that Mother is the cause of it in some way. This condition is deemed impossible by Father who assures that Campion never gets the condition because he is special.

There's a prophesy about a special, special, poor little blessed and woeful orphan boy and we flash back to 'Marcus' in his youth as Caleb the special, special, poor little woeful orphan boy 'blessed' with high-powered determination as he fights a girl.

Finding Mother and Father to be inconsistent, unreliable, and poisonous, the kids run away.

It's a joyful event when Father explains to Mother that the pits in the carbos (which they neglected to test for safety) have been causing radiation poisoning in the children and the first batch of kids died slowly because early exposure caused some resistance. Mother goes to recover lost Paul in her own special way, and Father takes off on radioactive fuel to recover the others.

Would you like to hear a joke? How many androids does it take to grow as many children as they can and then progressively kill them by way of perniciously intractable non-discernment and consummate (un)natural proclivities? One or more.
