Murderbot – Season 1 Episode 10 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Episode 10 of Murderbot begins this finale with Murderbot's system rebooting. It awakens to find itself back at the lab, with Mensah and the other Preservation Society comrades gone. The engineers enact a memory wipe on Murderbot and it seems to have lost everything.
What do the engineers do?
The engineers then reinstall another module and when it boots up, the Murderbot follows all instructions and appears to be back under company control. Its taken out on Security detail and it doesn't recognize any of the Perseveration Society members.
Mensah and the others are actually aboard the same ship and the officials are confused by them asking where Murderbot is. The Company are waving away any form of responsibility for what's happened on the planet, claiming that the Preservation Society have all signed NDAs, so there's not much they can do.
However, Gurathin offers to outright buy the SecUnit. When they find out that the unit has had its memory erased though, the group are shocked. Mensah and the others refuse to believe this is the case (except Gurathin, who knows what the Company are like).
Where are Murderbot's memories?
While the memory isn't lost per-se, it is in a state of limbo. Gurathin explains to the others that the Company are going to sift through the memory files first and see if there's anything there worth salvaging. Corporation Rim obviously don't play fair, and Preservation Society are prepared to fight fire with fire.
Trouble is brewing in the area though, as the workers fight for better conditions against the Company. They send out the big guns (see: SecUnits) to hold them off. The officials encourage the SecUnits to 'do some damage' and they certainly get their hands dirty. However, Murderbot's core memories surrounding the mining incident in the past cause it to think twice about firing.
How does Gurathin help Murderbot?
The rebels take advantage and beat it down to the ground, all whilst Gurathin calls in some favours and gains access to the memories. Despite being encrypted, Gurathin manages to trace the memories back via Sanctuary Moon, which in turn allows him to find Murderbot's core memory files.
Gruathin downloads all of the SecUnit's memories, storing them inside his head.
Meanwhile, Mensah speaks to the press, informing them of everything that's taken place, and decides she's going to use their SecUnit to help explain everything that's happened. It's thankfully saved from the acid pit, as Gurathin shows and shifts the memories over to our SecUnit, who gets everything back.
Preservation Society decide to take Murderbot on and as it's no longer working as a SecUnit, it's free to do whatever it wants. Our Murderbot is a bit directionless though, unsure what to do with its life.
How does Murderbot end?
Gurathin tells it that the Preservation Society are lovely people and they will help it find the ropes. He also offers to help, but Murderbot decides it needs to check the perimeter.
Murderbot leaves the group, instead heading out on a mining convoy. It doesn't know what it wants but right now, it doesn't want anybody to make its decisions for it, heading out to try and find its own purpose.
The Episode Review
With 6 novellas, a full length novel and some short stories, there's plenty of gas left in the tank for Murderbot, and if this show is anything to go by we could be in for a long-standing pivotal show in Apple's future.
This series has been a blast from start to finish, with the only grumble really stemming from the fact we've had to wait every week for a 25 minute slice of comedic drama. Beyond that, this show has been well produced, chock full of memorable moments and somehow managed to make the Preservation Society guys from the books much more interesting and fleshed out in this show.
The humour has worked really well throughout, while the constant nods to Sanctuary Moon are a great inclusion.
The finale is actually quite bittersweet, especially seeing the way Gurathin and Murderbot patch up their differences after all these episodes.
It's a great way of rounding everything out and as Murderbot itself would say, this is one 'premium quality show'. Take a bow Apple, that was an absolute blast! Roll on season 2.

The Grateful Dead toasts its 60th with concerts at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park
Fans of the Grateful Dead are pouring into San Francisco for three days of concerts and festivities marking the 60th anniversary of the scruffy jam band that came to embody a city where people wore flowers in their hair and made love, not war. Dead & Company, featuring original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, will play Golden Gate Park's Polo Field starting Friday with an estimated 60,000 attendees each day. The last time the band played that part of the park was in 1991 — a free show following the death of concert promoter and longtime Deadhead Bill Graham. Certainly, times have changed. A general admissions ticket for all three days is $635 — a shock for many longtime fans who remember when a joint cost more than a Dead concert ticket. But Deadhead David Aberdeen is thrilled anyway. 'This is the spiritual home of the Grateful Dead,' said Aberdeen, who works at Amoeba Music in the bohemian, flower-powered Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. 'It seems very right to me that they celebrate it in this way.' Formed in 1965, the Grateful Dead is synonymous with San Francisco and its counterculture. Members lived in a dirt-cheap Victorian in the Haight and later became a significant part of 1967's Summer of Love. That summer eventually soured into bad acid trips and police raids, and prompted the band's move to Marin County on the other end of the Golden Gate Bridge. But new Deadheads kept cropping up — even after iconic guitarist and singer Jerry Garcia 's 1995 death — aided by cover bands and offshoots like Dead & Company. 'There are 18-year-olds who were obviously not even a twinkle in somebody's eyes when Jerry died, and these 18-year-olds get the values of Deadheads,' said former Grateful Dead publicist and author Dennis McNally. Fitting in, feeling at home Deadheads can reel off why and how, and the moment they fell in love with the music. Fans love that no two shows are the same; the band plays different songs each time. They also embrace the community that comes with a Dead show. Sunshine Powers didn't have friends until age 13, when she stepped off a city bus and into the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. 'I, all of a sudden, felt like I fit in. Or like I didn't have to fit in,' says Powers, now 45 and the owner of tie-dye emporium Love on Haight. 'I don't know which one it was, but I know it was like, OK." Similarly, her friend Taylor Swope, 47, survived a tough freshman year at a new school with the help of a Grateful Dead mixtape. The owner of the Little Hippie gift shop is driving from Brooklyn, New York, to sell merchandise, reconnect with friends and see the shows. 'The sense of, 'I found my people, I didn't fit in anywhere else and then I found this, and I felt at home.' So that's a big part of it,' she said of the allure. Magical live shows Sometimes, becoming a Deadhead is a process. Thor Cromer, 60, had attended several Dead shows, but was ambivalent about the hippies. That changed on March 15, 1990, in Landover, Maryland. 'That show, whatever it was, whatever magic hit,' he said, 'it was injected right into my brain.' Cromer, who worked for the U.S. Senate then, eventually took time off to follow the band on tour and saw an estimated 400 shows from spring 1990 until Garcia's death. Cromer now works in technology and is flying in from Boston to join scores of fellow 'rail riders' who dance in the rows closest to the stage. Aberdeen, 62, saw his first Dead show in 1984. As the only person in his college group with a driver's license, he was tapped to drive a crowded VW Bug from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, to Syracuse, New York. 'I thought it was pretty weird,' he said. 'But I liked it.' He fell in love the following summer, when the Dead played a venue near his college. Aberdeen remembers rain pouring down in the middle of the show and a giant rainbow appearing over the band when they returned for their second act. They played 'Comes a Time,' a rarely played Garcia ballad. 'There is a lot of excitement, and there will be a lot of people here,' Aberdeen said. 'Who knows when we'll have an opportunity to get together like this again?' Fans were able to see Dead & Company in Las Vegas earlier this year, but no new dates have been announced. Guitarist Bob Weir is 77, and drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann are 81 and 79, respectively. Besides Garcia, founding members Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan on keyboards died in 1973 and bassist Phil Lesh died last year at age 84. Multiple events planned for Dead's 60th Mayor Daniel Lurie, who is not a Deadhead but counts 'Sugar Magnolia' as his favorite Dead song, is overjoyed at the economic boost as San Francisco recovers from pandemic-related hits to its tech and tourism sectors. 'They are the reason why so many people know and love San Francisco,' he said. The weekend features parties, shows and celebrations throughout the city. Grahame Lesh & Friends will perform three nights starting Thursday. Lesh is the son of Phil Lesh. On Friday, which would have been Garcia's 83rd birthday, officials will rename a street after the San Francisco native. On Saturday, visitors can celebrate the city's annual Jerry Day at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater located in a park near Garcia's childhood home.

Elon Musk's X to commence Labour Court appeal against Irish record unfair dismissal award
The main Irish unit of Elon Musk's X will commence its appeal at the Labour Court on Tuesday against a ruling that it must pay out an Irish record unfair dismissal award of €550,131 to a former executive. In the ruling last August, Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) Adjudicator, Michael MacNamee, found that Twitter International UC - since renamed X Internet Unlimited Company- unfairly dismissed the company's former Director Source to Pay, Gary Rooney in December 2022 after he failed to respond to Elon Musk's 'Fork in the Road' email. Advertisement Mr Rooney has yet to receive any of the monies as the case is before the Labour Court on appeal from Twitter International UC. The published Labour Court diary confirms that the Labour Court has set aside hearing days for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week at the Labour Court's Dublin HQ for the appeal. Solicitor for Mr Rooney, Barry Kenny of Kenny Sullivan Solicitors in Bray declined to comment on Monday ahead of the appeal. However, commenting last month on the impending Labour Court hearing, Mr Kenny said: 'My client is anxious to put all this all behind him.' Advertisement He said last month: 'The WRC determined that X's treatment of him as a long standing and loyal employee amounted to an unfair dismissal. Mr Rooney is anxious that the Labour Court will affirm this decision.' Mr Kenny said: 'It is open to the Labour Court to increase or reduce sums awarded in the WRC as it will be a De Novo hearing.' He said last month that X had advised that they intend to call at least three witnesses while Mr Rooney is the only witness in his own case. At the WRC, Twitter International UC fully contested Mr Rooney's claim over five days of hearing contending that he had resigned voluntarily. Advertisement In his findings, Mr MacNamee found that Mr Rooney was dismissed because he did not click 'yes' to Elon Musk's 'Fork in the Road' email on November 16th, 2022, and for that reason alone. On November 16th, 2022, Mr Rooney and the Twitter workforce received an email from the world's richest man, Mr Musk who said: 'to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing a grade.[....] Mr Musk said: 'If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below.' After Mr Rooney opted not to click 'yes' on the link, three days later on November 19th, 2022, Mr Rooney received a further company email which stated that it is 'to acknowledge your decision to resign and accept the voluntary separation offer'.

Read More On receiving Mr Musk's 'Fork in the Road' email, Mr Rooney said his first reaction was disbelief and he was initially afraid even to open it for fear that it was spam or malware. The record €550,131 award was made up of Mr Rooney's remuneration losses of €350,131 from January 2023 to May 2024 and estimated future remuneration losses of €200,000. The remuneration losses were based on Mr Rooney's Twitter remuneration of €323,560 made up of €151,225 in pay and €172,335 in deferred cash consideration. Mr Rooney secured a new role with an employer in the banking sector in September 2023 on total remuneration of €129,897.
