Extrapolations Episode 6, titled 2066: Lola, brings back Ezra from Episode 2 and a sci-fi love story that is relatable and heartwarming. It is produced by Scott Z. Burns, Gregory Jacobs, Dorothy Fortenberry, and Media Res' Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer. The series focuses on the future world on the brink of destruction due to climate change. Rebecca Shearer is a scientist who worked with the last whale and her son Ezra with a summer heart health condition. In the sixth episode, Ezra marries his sweetheart Lola, who also has a summer heart condition. With the help of an experimental cure, Ezra gets rid of his health issues, but Lola suffers from it and dies in her womb. Ezra is now trying to live with Lola's memories stored in a device called Cache Cloud, which is very expensive. He also works as a person who impersonates an identity to help people who have lost their loved ones or need closure. Ezra is asked to pay extra or delete some of his memories in the Cache cloud. This makes him struggle as he needs all the memories but is unable to afford the money. He also helps Natasha heal and get closure by acting as her husband David, but later learns that David has moved to the USA and started another family. Ezra learns that he has vascular dementia and his cognitive abilities are failing, but still continues to help people. He exceeds his cache cloud space and is forced to rely on his organic memory, which fails. He then hires a Lola stand-in, but due to her tattoo, he is unable to get an experience with her. Ezra is nagging Janice to pay the money or delete his memories, so he deletes all except those with the keyword "Lola". This causes him to forget his mother and grandmother, and an earthquake worsens the servers. This pressures him to rely on his own memory about his clients and help them. Ezra and Natasha share an intimate moment, but Ezra ruins it by asking her for money. After failing with another client, Ezra returns to Natasha and is bashed. Natasha suggests that David and Lola should start a new life together, changing Ezra's perspective. When Ezra returns to his apartment, his neighbor threatens him with leaking Lola's images, but Ezra ignores him. Ezra, Natasha, and Harlyn walk together in a mall, with a Menagerie2100 billboard and an Exowomb advertisement featuring Lola's image for promotion. This episode is one of the best so far as it shows how people can become messed up after losing their loved ones. The sci-fi touch on losing memories and the fight to save them can make viewers relate. The actors have done a great job of expressing the heartbreaking emotions, especially when the memories are giving up. Episode 6 is definitely a phenomenal watch.
