Dispatch Episodes 5–6: The Hidden Clues and Easter Eggs You Missed
Dispatch ends next week, capping a run defined by meticulous, immersive detail. From choice-locked surprises to blink-and-you-miss-it clues, here are the secrets you likely missed before the finale.
Dispatch wraps up next week, and honestly, the ride so far has been a blast. The best stuff isn’t the big swings; it’s the tiny bits of care tucked into corners and background shots. Because choices branch so much, a lot of those details are easy to miss. If you blew past a few, no shame — here are the little gems from episodes 5 and 6 that quietly make the story sing.

Invisigal getting jealous of Blonde Blazer (but not the other way around)
If you pick the Blonde Blazer romance route, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment at Robert’s episode 6 housewarming. Mandy (aka Blonde Blazer) steps in, starts dancing with Robert, and in the background Courtney (Invisigal) is visibly not thrilled. It stings a bit — and it’s telling. Flip it, though, and that reaction doesn’t go both ways: on the Invisigal romance route, when Courtney gets her sweet moment with Robert, Blonde Blazer is just off dancing with other folks, not even looking in their direction. Small, clean character work that quietly shows who is trying to play it cool and who can’t hide how much they care. -
Why everyone shows up with a lamp at the housewarming
The housewarming gag where the whole squad brings lamps isn’t random. They’re just following Invisigal’s very specific RSVP note:"Bring a lamp, or something."
The only people who ignore the lamp brigade: Blonde Blazer and Chase, who go big with a grandfather clock. Beyond the joke, the scene quietly tracks Robert’s arc since joining SDN. The apartment used to be a dim cave where he waited out time. As the party goes on, each lamp clicks on and the room gets brighter — a literal, steady glow-up of his life. Since taking on the Mecha Man mantle he’s mostly been isolated; now, not so much.

Miss the bathroom QTE in episode 5? Coupe or Sonar has your back
During the bar fight, there’s a detour into the bathroom where a quick-time event can go sideways. If you whiff it, the teammate you kept on the SDN roster — Coupe or Sonar, depending on your earlier choice — jumps in to bail you out. It’s a small reactive beat, but it makes that earlier decision feel like it actually matters. -
The purple smoke isn’t a one-off screwup — it’s sabotage
Episode 6 opens with Robert’s Mecha Man suit test going off the rails after a burst of purple smoke. That same purple haze shows up again at the warehouse near the end, when Shroud uses it to take down Invisigal. Connect those two and the picture gets pretty clear: the test failure wasn’t an accident. Someone on the inside set it up. -
Chase doesn’t just save Invisigal — he grabs her inhaler
Invisigal has asthma, and in the final CCTV footage you can see Chase hand her inhaler to Courtney while pulling her out of the purple smoke. Then he collapses. It’s a rough ending for him, but that tiny, deliberate move says everything about who he chose to be at the end.
Those are the best sneaky bits I spotted across episodes 5 and 6. If you caught more, hit me with them — I’m all ears before the finale lands next week.
