Episode 7 was revealed to me in a dream.
Its already fading from my memory but the most important part was the first time Jax was mentioned or seen in the entire episode was at the ending, when he showed up partially abstracted at Pomni's door (crash to black).

There was also something about getting to the real world which Caine then started dragging into the game, and the reveal that all the NPCs were humans that managed to escape by forcing someone else into the game via chain letter. Also singing to sharks and blaming Canada for everything.

But the Jax thing was the neatest, and I'm mad that it won't happen. Just, any character not showing up or being mentioned until the end of the episode, and when they do finally show up they're abstracting. That'd be the way to do it.
