My current theory on the Dimension 20 Mentopolis season, post episode 4:
Spoilers under the cut!
So, we've now worked through 2 of the 4 responses. All that are left are Flight and Fawn.
How are they going to come into play saving Elias?
Let's consider Elias's situation.
He's fired the grappling hook (Fight)
Froze up so he could successfully kick through a window (Freeze)
And we know now that his next steps are getting the fuck out of there (Which, logically, would be Flight)
Therefore, we can all pretty reliably guess how Flight is going to come into play saving Elias: by getting him outta the damn building, duh!
Now, Fawn, on the other hand, is the one that isn't as clear. I have two theories, however!
The first, more fanfic-y trope theory:
The Barista That Smiled At Us.
Once he's out of the building (with further aid from Fight and Freeze), Elias needs to lay low quickly. Where can he go?
Maybe the coffee shop nearby he's gone to a million times? Where he knows there's a lovely Barista who's been kind to him and might hide him so he can escape?
And I can see Fawn helping in that situation!
Theory number two; the more likely option:
As they are escaping the building with Flight (Fight and Freeze assisting), Elias's boss confronts him before they can get out. And in that moment, Fawn could help Elias get in close, or buy a few moments for one of the other responses to make a move, and all of them work together to get Elias out.
And best part? It could be mirrored in the mind with the D.A./Scary Mind Key Guy in place of Elias's boss, which fits with the themes we've seen of the players echoing actions Elias takes, to show who he really is inside.
Bonus theory about the epilogue:
And then the epilogue is about Elias being a whistle-blower on Gobstopper Industries/The Military and maybe reconciling with his twin and finally having the courage to talk to The Barista That Smiled At Us.
And there will be echoes of that in his mind. Like The Fix reaching out to Pasha. Imelda and Anastasia reconciling as family and being closer. Whistle-blower Conrad and Hunch.
As for Mr. Fucks/Phucks/Fuxxx/etc. (Who I interpret as Elias's sense of pleasure in general, including libido, because he Fucks With Everything, not just sexual stuff. Tho it is mostly sexual stuff. Elias is really pent up, and, it turns out, potentially a passionate lover if given the chance.), Dan is just raking in the pleasure from all of this new-found joy in Elias's life. Sugah's is thriving. The people who have looked to him for hope that he's supported with a grin and a booming voice are able to enjoy life. And so is he.
And that's my Mentopolis theory!
I'm probably very, very wrong! :D

So I just finished the latest episode of Dimension 20: Mentopolis and I have to say I really enjoyed that scene between The Fix and Pasha N., especially because of that last fact from Brennan about woodpeckers having their spongey hyoid bone wrapped around their skull to cushion their brain because in like 9th grade I had this argument with my classmates because they claimed that the tongue is what's wrapped around their brain which I found quite absurd and looked it up and was like "Ah-ha! See, it's not the tongue, it the bone which anchors the tongue!" and my classmates continued to say that it was the tongue (it doesn't help that if you try to look that up you will find so many pages claiming that is the tongue) and I got upset saying that it was the hyoid bone (it's possible they were being so stubborn about it being the tongue was because I was getting upset about it). Like, looking back the distinction doesn't matter that much (though technically the tongue is the muscle) but I really cared about being right.
Anyways, I got so fucking excited when I heard that fact from Brennan as, like, vindication or something. Also the potential love story of Pasha and the Fix is probably one of the few love stories that I am honestly interested in in any media I have consumed maybe ever? Very much ship it.
