The one who answers
We have never landed anywhere normal.
Synopsis
The season closes. Since the finale of season one the booth has not been going where the record says: it has been going where Kenya needs, because she is the one who paid.
Plot
What she wants, out loud in the first minute: she wants it to stop answering her. Not because it is wrong, but because she never agreed to it, and because everything it has given them has been what she needed and never what anybody asked for. The place is the only one it has never taken them: nowhere. Flat, unfinished, half drawn, the place a booth goes when nobody needs anything.

After the credits, a secondary character from this episode, later and somewhere else.
Inside a machine the size of a cat, mismatched panels and screw ends everywhere: the cat turns around twice in the middle of it and settles facing forward. Beside it the scratched record turns in its slot, the long scratch going round and round. It lifts one paw and puts it down on a small lever.
Trivia and continuity
The cat pays it off too. Four years of screws, a shoelace, a brass cog, a piece of raw speech: it has enough. What it is missing is the one thing it cannot steal, and Kenya gives it: not the part, the answer. She tells it where to go. They leave changed and nobody says it. The last record is chosen by the record.
