Season map — spoilers

Season One: The Difference

Fifteen connected stories. Each central transaction is resolved locally; its consequence starts the next investigation. Titles use first person as fictional dramatic framing; narration is close third person, not a claim these events happened.

Episode	Central payoff	Cliffhanger and its destination
01 — I Rented an Extra Hour. Someone Else Lost It.	Mara reaches Ivo's handover, finds Nell and returns eleven unused minutes. Forty-nine spent minutes remain owed.	Ivo's handwriting authorized household enrollment. Episode 02 recovers the memory of that signature.
02 — My Brother Sold the Memory of Signing My Name.	The counterparty returns unconsumed memory access; the siblings recover evidence of limited proxy enrollment.	A luck policy protects Mara's workshop at someone else's expense. Episode 03 finds its donor.
03 — My Bad Luck Started Happening to One Stranger.	Mara closes the policy and helps courier Eli through an ordinary delivery without trading further bad luck.	Nell receives a seven-night sleep invoice. Episode 04 contests collection.
04 — The Company Came to Collect Seven Nights of Sleep.	The clinician returns five held nights; two consumed nights remain a real disputed benefit. Collection is stayed.	Mara's voice has been used to approve an objection. Episode 05 separates vocal identity from actual consent.
05 — Someone Used My Voice to Say Yes.	Written evidence and an independent witness invalidate the forged authorization; Mara retrieves her voice.	Ivo vanishes from municipal records. Episode 06 rebuilds his administrative identity.
06 — My Brother Was Missing From Every Record.	Analog evidence and a matched-counterparty reversal restore Ivo's access without erasing the buyer's obligations.	A populated street is omitted from the map. Episode 07 enters the neglected district.
07 — We Found the Street the City Had Written Off.	Residents and Mara restore the water pump; testimony establishes the community's existence.	Living founder Dana reveals a renewal deadline three days away. Episode 08 examines the covenant.
08 — The Woman Who Built the Exchange Wanted It Shut Down.	The original covenant is preserved and a finite legal challenge route identified.	Eli's courier badge shows a hospital collection. Episode 09 intervenes with witnesses.
09 — Our Courier Was Delivering More Than Receipts.	A particular unlawful collection is stopped; Eli records their involvement and preserves evidence.	Ivo is a recurring beneficiary. Episode 10 makes the hidden benefit his decision to confront.
10 — My Brother Had Been Buying Time Without Telling Me.	Ivo stops renewal, chooses ordinary support and agrees to testify; past consumed benefit stays real.	Vale offers family debt clearance for Mara's renewal signature. Episode 11 traces who would pay.
11 — They Offered to Erase Our Debt. I Asked Whose Name Replaced It.	Mara refuses the concealed transfer and obtains a public hearing route.	One hundred distinct affected people must attest by tomorrow; some ledger names are obscured. Episode 12 finds them through corroboration.
12 — We Had One Day to Find a Hundred People Who Had Paid.	Verified, informed attestations make the hearing admissible.	Challenge triggers service suspension: people depending on capacity need a safe transition. Episode 13 builds it.
13 — Stopping the Exchange Would Hurt the People We Were Saving.	Named beneficiaries receive a finite ordinary-care and explicitly bounded voluntary bridge plan.	All assignments must be read aloud; Mara's forty-nine minutes come first. Episode 14 faces the debt.
14 — The First Debt They Read Was Mine.	Nell chooses non-equivalent restitution; testimony separates genuine consumed benefits from unauthorized reserves.	Settlement needs an authorized operator, but Eli's clearance is revoked. Episode 15 applies the covenant's supervised appointment route.
15 — We Closed the Exchange. The Last Receipt Was a Warning.	Tavi is appointed with narrow supervision; held capacities return, genuine losses remain documented, and ordinary care continues.	A pre-founding invoice from another city asks Bellwether for a seven-minute audit. Season Two explores origins without undoing this season's closure.

The descriptions above summarize canonical payoffs; full stories supply the action and human choices. They are not timed shot lists.

Deadline continuity

Episodes 1–6 unfold during the preceding week. The three-day renewal deadline begins in Episode 7. Episodes 8–11 occupy the first day; Episode 12 the second; Episodes 13–15 the third. No deadline reset, recovered dead character, universal debt cancellation or miraculous medical cure is permitted.

Season Two

Working concept: The Original Supplier. Bellwether has shut its predatory local chapter, not discovered an infinite reset. An invoice older than Dana's registry identifies the city itself as a supplier. Mara, Tavi and willing counterparties investigate how small neighborhood bargains became an intercity system.

The first new story, working title The City That Sent Us Seven Minutes, follows a consent-limited audit: verify the old invoice's paper trail, identify the living counterparty and establish what the offered seven minutes actually obligate. The team may decline the appointment. No one travels through time, no old spent benefit is refunded, and the finale's restitution remains binding.

Season Two is a concept only. There is no completed Episode 16 or published next-video destination.
