When Manny eventually guesses whose avatar the woman is, she tells him her name really is Brooklyn-which shows Manny not all avatars have amnesia. She tells him she’s been seeing tendrils everywhere, and she senses he’s Manhattan. An elegant Black woman (Brooklyn Thomason) approaches Manny and asks him if he knows what’s going on. She disappears before Manny can figure out what she wants. The woman transforms into the Woman in White. Later, a white woman with a tendril on her neck accuses Manny of being a drug dealer. Manny mounts the cab, tells the driver to speed toward the growth, and summons an energy blanket around himself, incinerating the tendrils. He pays a cab driver to take him to FDR Drive, where a massive growth of white tendrils is erupting. He sees “Manhattan” on a sign and decides to be “Manny.” Manny senses the city is in danger. Meanwhile, a young Black man ( Manny) exits the train at Penn Station and realizes he has amnesia-he can’t remember his own name. Later, the Enemy attacks, but the avatar defeats her using the city’s power. During a city’s birth, the avatar must protect their city from a great Enemy (the Woman in White). In a New York City café, Paolo is explaining to a homeless young Black graffiti artist ( New York City’s avatar) that cities sometimes come alive and select one of their human residents to be their avatar.
