S02E09 - Blood Relations

"Blood Relations" is the ninth episode of Season 2 of We Can Fix Pawbert.

Synopsis

Pawbert visits Cattrick Lynxley in maximum security seeking intelligence on Clawrence. The brothers acknowledge their shared trauma under Milton Lynxley, and Cattrick provides the location of an old Lynxley operational site. The resulting ZSI raid captures eight operatives but the Jaguar -- now identified as Javier Croft -- escapes. A captured weasel describes Clawrence as alive, and the tag reveals Clawrence fully for the first time.

Plot

The morning after the manor confrontation, Pawbert lies awake replaying his father's words. Luther receives a message from Agent Corbin: ZSI wants to pursue a different angle, approaching the siblings. At the ZSI briefing, Corbin explains that Milton has refused all further cooperation after the previous day's interview. The new strategy targets Cattrick Lynxley and Kitty Lynxley—both were alive and present in the household when Clawrence was still active, old enough to have heard things adults assumed children would not understand.

At maximum security, Pawbert faces his eldest brother through glass. Two years in prison have changed Cattrick—leaner, harder, stripped of the soft padding of wealth. He opens with hostility, blaming Pawbert for their imprisonment and mocking his cooperation with ZSI. But the conversation shifts when both brothers acknowledge the impossible game they played for their father. Everything they did was for Milton, and it was never enough. The recognition does not make them friends, but it creates a moment of shared understanding between two mammals who lost the same way.

Cattrick provides intelligence: an old Lynxley operational site in Beaverdam near Grizzly Falls, a place their father once called Clawrence's playground. The facility was never in any official records. Cattrick warns that Clawrence is fundamentally different from Milton—where their father could be bought off, reasoned with, or satisfied, Clawrence cannot. He has been waiting thirty years, and whatever he wants, he will not stop until he gets it.

ZSI tactical teams converge on the Grizzly Falls facility. Fresh tire tracks and generator hum confirm recent activity. The breach hits with coordinated precision—doors slamming open, flash-bangs detonating, agents pouring through in tactical formation. Inside, they find banks of computers displaying weather system schematics, tables covered with planning materials, and a dozen operatives scrambling to respond.

Javier Croft, working in a back room, destroys files with cold efficiency when the breach begins. He shoots Agent Bristow twice in the vest—non-fatal but stunning—and engages Luther in a running firefight through the facility. Croft knows the terrain, using the building's geometry to cover his escape. He reaches a waiting vehicle and tears away, blowing through Nick and Judy's perimeter position despite their attempt to intercept. The vehicle reaches the main road and disappears into traffic.

Eight operatives are captured and processed. Most are hired muscle with nothing to offer. But a weasel who handled logistics provides the confirmation ZSI needs. He describes the man in charge: an old lynx with silver fur at the temples and cold eyes that look through you instead of at you. He names the jaguar as Javier, calls him the enforcer, and mentions that phase two was about to begin—the real work, after the reconnaissance was complete.

At the safehouse that evening, the pack processes the weight of confirmation. Clawrence is not a theory anymore. He has been alive for thirty years, building something in the shadows. Pawbert distinguishes revenge from justice—revenge ends when the person who hurt you suffers, but justice ends when you get what was taken from you. Clawrence lost everything: the work, the credit, the legacy. He wants it back.

In the tag, Javier reports to Clawrence at an undisclosed command center. Clawrence appears fully on screen for the first time—late sixties, silver fur at the temples, the same bone structure as Milton but sharper in the features. He dismisses the raid as expected and identifies Pawbert as the primary target. Reaching someone surrounded by three guards is much easier than reaching someone locked in maximum security. After thirty years of waiting, Milton's own son will give Clawrence everything his half-brother took.

Notes

• This episode provides Cattrick Lynxley's first speaking role. He appeared previously during the trial but never had dialogue.
• The fraternal exchange echoes Pawbert's own realization about Milton—the siblings all played the same impossible game and lost the same way.
• Javier Croft is named for the first time after appearing as the unnamed "Jaguar" since the prison attack sequences. His escape from both Luther and the Nick/Judy perimeter establishes him as a formidable threat.
• Clawrence's strategic logic reveals the true purpose of the earlier prison attacks: they were designed to test security for extracting a voice authentication key, not to kill Pawbert.
• Cattrick's distinction between Milton and Clawrence—control versus justice—explains why Clawrence is more dangerous: his grievance is legitimate, and he cannot be satisfied.
