The latest episode of Twisted Metal Season 2 delivers a major twist that changes everything for John and Quiet. Episode 7, titled “H1TNRVN”, reveals a heartbreaking betrayal that could destroy their partnership in the deadly tournament. The episode aired on August 14, 2025, alongside Episode 6, bringing intense car battles and emotional drama.
John finally admits to Quiet that he lied about their shared wish in Calypso’s tournament. This confession shakes their trust and puts their mission at risk. The episode ends before showing Quiet’s reaction, leaving fans wondering how she will respond to John’s betrayal.
John’s Secret Wish and the Broken Pact
In Episode 6, all teams in the Twisted Metal tournament were asked to make a single wish at Calypso’s wishing well. John and Quiet had agreed to wish for the destruction of all city walls, a goal important to both of them. Quiet made the wish first, but John secretly went back and made his own wish—to bring his sister Dollface back to life.
“He ends up not following the plan, the reason why they joined the tournament in the first place.”
John’s decision comes from grief over Dollface’s death in Episode 6. She sacrificed herself to save John and Quiet during the qualifying round. Even though John didn’t remember his sister at first, her death deeply affected him. His wish shows how much he values family, but it also breaks his promise to Quiet.
The Consequences of John’s Betrayal
The ending of Episode 7 leaves John and Quiet in a difficult position. Their teamwork is crucial for surviving the deadly tournament, but now their trust is broken. John struggles with guilt throughout the first round, almost costing them the race.
“If the first round was hard enough, the next rounds of the demolition derby will be even more difficult now that their core dynamic is cracked with that lie.”
Quiet has not yet reacted to John’s confession, but her response will be critical. She is fiercely dedicated to their original mission, and John’s betrayal could push her away. Fans are left wondering if their relationship can survive this.
Dollface’s Fate and Mayhem’s Big Moment
Dollface, also known as Krista, died in Episode 6 while protecting John and Quiet. Her EMP weapon failed, leaving her vulnerable to attacks. In her final moments, she destroyed her own package, triggering a missile that killed her and several enemies.
“She shoots her package and destroys it intentionally, so that a missile is launched to eliminate her, and since her attackers are standing right next to her, they also get killed by the missile.”
Meanwhile, Mayhem proves herself as a strong competitor in Episode 7. She defeats Chuckie Floop in a brutal fight, marking her first kill. She also steals his high-tech car, which has an AI named Quattro that can drive itself.
What’s Next for John and Quiet?
The big question now is whether Calypso will accept Quiet’s wish or John’s. Since each team is only allowed one wish, John’s secret could disqualify them entirely. Calypso is known for twisting wishes in the games, so his decision will be crucial.
“If he wants, Calypso can choose to turn down both their wishes, stating that they had already broken the law, even if they ultimately win the tournament.”
The next episodes will explore how Quiet reacts and whether John can regain her trust. With the tournament getting deadlier, their partnership is more important than ever.
