Introduction: Dealing with the Fallout
Episode 4 of Dispatch, titled “Restructure,” picks up the pieces after your devastating choice in Episode 3. Whether you cut Sonar or Coupe, the team is reeling—and you’re about to feel the consequences of being down a member.
But here’s the twist: this episode isn’t just about managing the hole in your roster. It’s about deciding who fills it, and more importantly, where Robert’s personal life is heading. You’ll make two major decisions that fundamentally shape the rest of the series: who joins your team and who Robert pursues romantically.
No pressure, but these choices matter more than almost anything you’ve done so far.
What Makes Episode 4 Critical:
- Living with the consequences of Episode 3’s cut
- Managing understaffed dispatching sequences
- Choosing a permanent replacement team member
- Making a definitive choice between Blond Blazer and Invisigal
- Multiple relationship-defining moments
This episode is shorter on dialogue choices than Episode 2, but every single one of them has weight. Let’s break down how to navigate this restructuring period.
Morning Pranks: The New Normal
The episode starts at Robert’s workstation, where Flambae and either Malevola or Punch Up (depending on who you kept in Episode 3) have pranked you. It’s their way of coping with the tension, but Chase wants to talk about the elephant in the room: your decision to cut a team member.
Reflecting on Your Choice
Chase asks about your Episode 3 decision:
- “They can join them”
- “Maybe it was a mistake”
- “It’s harmless”
Does this choice matter? Not mechanically, but it reveals how Robert is processing the weight of leadership.
Our Take:
- “They can join them” – Defensive and dismissive. You’re doubling down on the decision.
- “Maybe it was a mistake” – Vulnerable and reflective. Shows you’re questioning yourself.
- “It’s harmless” – About the prank, not the cut. Trying to move on.
This is pure character development. Pick what feels true to how you think Robert is handling the guilt.
Lab Time with Royd: Action Training
You head to the lab where Royd is working on the Mecha Man suit. Time for some exercise to blow off steam! You get to choose an action:
- “SHADOW BOX”
- “SPLIT KICK”
- “JUMPING JACKS”
Does this choice matter? Only for the animation you’ll see. This is a fun, consequence-free choice that changes the cutscene slightly. Pick whatever sounds most entertaining—shadow boxing gives you the most “former superhero” vibes, but there’s no wrong answer here.
Invisigal’s Question
Once Invisigal shows up, she asks you something, prompting a dialogue choice:
- “All the time”
- “Why do you want to know?”
- “Never”
Does this choice matter? Not mechanically. Context is key here—her question determines what these answers mean. Pick based on what feels natural to the conversation.
Blond Blazer’s Gala Preparation: First Romance Signals
You make your way to Blond Blazer’s room where she’s getting ready for a gala she has to attend. This scene is loaded with relationship-building opportunities.
First Question (Her Outfit)
She asks how she looks:
- “Looks good”
- “Your areola’s showing”
- “It’s too small”
Does this choice matter? Not directly, but it sets the tone. The second and third options are clearly joke responses (and potentially awkward). If you’re interested in pursuing Blond Blazer, keep it respectful and straightforward.
Second Question (How She Really Looks)
A follow-up about her appearance:
- “Incredible” – ✅ Increases relationship with Blond Blazer
- “You look tucked in” – No relationship change
- “Kinda pretty, I guess” – No relationship change
Does this choice matter? YES. If you want to pursue a relationship with Blond Blazer, “Incredible” is the clear winner. It’s genuine, enthusiastic, and shows you’re paying attention.
Pro Tip: The other two options are either clinical (“tucked in”) or weirdly tentative (“kinda pretty, I guess”). If you’re building toward the romance option later in this episode, start laying the groundwork now with positive reinforcement.
Talking to Phenomaman: Outside the Office
Blond Blazer asks you to check on Phenomaman, who’s lying on a car outside (which sounds concerning). Time for another conversation.
First Dialogue (Phenomaman’s State)
- “Don’t extinguish the sun”
- “Do you have a therapist?”
- “I’ve had those days”
Does this choice matter? Not mechanically. These are different approaches to addressing what seems like depression or burnout. Pick based on your Robert’s communication style.
Second Dialogue (About Blond Blazer – IMPORTANT!)
This is where things get interesting:
- “I don’t think so”
- “I kissed her” – ❌ Decreases relationship with Phenomaman (only appears if you chose “Kiss Her” in Episode 1)
- “That’s not your business”
Does this choice matter? The second option absolutely does. If you kissed Blond Blazer back in Episode 1 and you admit it to Phenomaman, your relationship with him takes a hit. Makes sense—there’s clearly history between Phenomaman and Blond Blazer (remember the dinner in Episode 2?).
Our Analysis: This is about honesty versus discretion. Phenomaman is asking about your relationship with his ex (or former romantic interest). If you’re pursuing Blond Blazer, you might want to be honest, but it will cost you friendship points with Phenomaman. If you want to keep things smooth with him (especially if you’re considering adding him to the team later), deflecting might be the better play.
Bathroom Encounter: Invisigal’s Dream
In the washroom, Invisigal brings up a dream she had about you. The game gives you three hilariously inappropriate response options:
- “Was my d*ck big?”
- “How was I?”
- “Did I wear a condom?”
Does this choice matter? Nope. This is pure comedy relief, and all options are equally ridiculous. Pick your favorite absurd response and enjoy the awkwardness.
Our Take: This scene is clearly designed to show the growing comfort (or tension?) between Robert and Invisigal. It’s also signaling that Invisigal is a romance option, if you hadn’t picked up on that yet.
First Dispatch Shift: Feeling the Pain
Now comes the gameplay consequence of Episode 3. You’re down a team member, and you’re about to feel it hard.
The Walkout
During your first dispatch shift, something worse happens: either Punch Up or Malevola will leave midway through the shift, depending on who you kept in Episode 3. They’re protesting the cut, and now you’re even more understaffed.
Gameplay Impact:
- Some calls will fail
- You might miss calls entirely
- Team morale is at an all-time low
- You need to prioritize carefully
Dispatching Tips for Understaffed Shifts:
- Triage ruthlessly—some calls WILL fail, accept it
- Send your most reliable heroes to high-priority calls
- Save stamina where you can
- Don’t spread your remaining team too thin
This sequence is designed to make you feel the weight of your Episode 3 decision. The Phoenix Program needs a full roster, and you’re barely holding it together. It’s uncomfortable, and it’s supposed to be.

The Food Fight: Flambae’s Payback
After the disastrous first shift, you’re talking with Waterboy when Flambae throws a cup of noodles at him. You have the opportunity to retaliate on Waterboy’s behalf:
- “SPAGHETTI”
- “PROTEIN SHAKE”
Does this choice matter? YES—Flambae will remember this. Both options result in Flambae getting covered in food, so you’re retaliating either way. The question is just what you’re throwing.
Our Take: This is interesting because you’re not choosing whether to retaliate—that’s a given. You’re choosing your weapon. Both are equally messy and equally send the message that you’ve got your team’s back. There’s probably no “better” choice here relationship-wise, but Flambae noting it means it could come up in future episodes.
The Major Decision: Choosing Your New Team Member
Blond Blazer enters with the question that defines the rest of the episode—and possibly the series. The team needs a replacement. Who should it be?
- Waterboy
- Phenomaman
Why This Decision Is Huge
Whoever you choose becomes a permanent team member for the remaining episodes. This isn’t a temporary fill-in—this is a full roster addition who will:
- Participate in all future dispatch sequences
- Have unique interactions and dialogue
- Influence team dynamics going forward
- Determine which relationships you can build
Achievement Impact: Each choice unlocks a different Silver-tier achievement/trophy. Completionists will need to replay for both.
Making Your Choice: Waterboy vs. Phenomaman
Let’s break down what each brings to the table:
Waterboy:
- You’ve interacted with him since Episode 1
- Generally cheerful and reliable
- Just got defended from Flambae’s prank
- Might bring a positive energy to the struggling team
- Unknown heroic capabilities (you haven’t seen him in action much)
Phenomaman:
- Established hero with proven track record
- Complex relationship with Blond Blazer (your potential romantic interest)
- Currently struggling with burnout/depression
- Adding him could either help him recover or enable his decline
- Professional relationship with you has been cordial but distant
Our Analysis:
From a pure gameplay perspective, Phenomaman likely brings more experience and power to dispatch sequences. He’s an established hero from the dinner in Episode 2.
From a narrative perspective, both choices are compelling:
- Choosing Waterboy feels like giving someone an opportunity they’ve been waiting for. It’s a classic underdog story, and you’ve built rapport with him throughout the series.
- Choosing Phenomaman is more complex—you’re trying to help someone who’s clearly struggling, but there’s baggage with Blond Blazer. It could be redemptive or messy.
Relationship Consideration: If you’re pursuing Blond Blazer romantically, adding Phenomaman (her ex?) to the team could create ongoing tension. Then again, it could also prove you’re confident enough in your relationship to handle it.
Pro Tip: Consider who you’ve built better rapport with throughout the previous episodes. Robert’s choices should feel consistent with his character development.
Second Dispatch Shift: Relief at Last
After choosing your new team member, the second shift begins. Robert introduces them to the team, and suddenly dispatching is manageable again.
What’s Different:
- Full roster available
- No one walks out mid-shift
- Team morale begins recovering
- Calls become completable again
This shift should feel like a huge relief compared to the chaos of the first one. You can actually strategize again instead of just desperately plugging holes.
Post-Shift Conversation: Defining Your New Team Member
After the dispatch shift, you have a one-on-one conversation with whoever you chose. This is where you help define their role and mindset going forward.
If You Chose Waterboy
Your dialogue options all address his self-doubt:
- “You second guess everything”
- “You expect failure”
- “Believe in yourself”
Does this choice matter? All lead to the same outcome, but this will be remembered. You’re establishing your coaching approach with Waterboy.
Our Analysis:
- The first two options identify his problem
- “Believe in yourself” offers the solution
- We’d recommend the third option for a more positive, forward-looking relationship
If You Chose Phenomaman
Your dialogue options address his darker outlook:
- “That’s not healthy”
- “How do you know?”
- “I don’t believe that”
Does this choice matter? Same deal—this will be remembered. You’re establishing how you’ll handle Phenomaman’s mental health struggles.
Our Analysis:
- “That’s not healthy” is direct but potentially judgmental
- “How do you know?” challenges his certainty without dismissing him
- “I don’t believe that” is supportive but risks invalidating his feelings
This is a delicate situation. Phenomaman seems to be dealing with genuine mental health issues. We’d lean toward “How do you know?” as it engages with his concerns without either enabling them or shutting him down.
The Ultimate Choice: Blazer or Invisigal?
You’re packing up for the day when two things happen simultaneously:
- Robert spots Invisigal watching a film
- Blond Blazer texts asking to meet for dinner
And now you must choose:
- DINNER WITH BLAZER
- MOVIE WITH INVISIGAL
Why This Is The Episode’s Defining Moment
This isn’t just about one evening. This choice is signaling who Robert is pursuing romantically for the rest of the series. Whoever you pick here becomes your primary romantic interest going forward, affecting:
- Future dialogue options
- Character interactions
- Potential romantic outcomes
- How other characters perceive your relationships
This is where Dispatch stops being subtle about the romance options and makes you commit.
Making Your Choice: The Romance Decision
Choosing Blond Blazer:
- You’ve been building rapport since Episode 1
- She’s your professional superior (potential HR complication?)
- Your relationship has had ups and downs but consistent interest
- She’s been vulnerable with you about her struggles
- The Phenomaman situation adds complexity
Choosing Invisigal:
- Your relationship started rocky but has grown
- She’s a colleague, less hierarchical complication
- You’ve helped her through multiple crises
- There’s clear chemistry and shared vulnerability
- She’s been opening up more in recent episodes
Our Take: This is genuinely personal preference. Both are well-developed characters with legitimate romantic arcs. The game has been laying groundwork for both relationships throughout all four episodes.
Questions to ask yourself:
- Who has Robert connected with more genuinely?
- Which relationship feels more natural vs. more exciting?
- Do you care about the professional complications with Blond Blazer?
- Has Invisigal’s character growth made you more invested in her?
From a gaming perspective on Dispatch (PlayStation version): There’s no “better” ending here. This is about which story you want to tell with your Robert. Both paths will be narratively satisfying—they’ll just be different.
If You Choose Dinner with Blazer: One More Choice
If you go with Blond Blazer, you get one final dialogue option during dinner:
- “Why care what I think?”
- “KISS HER” – ✅ Increases relationship with Blond Blazer
- “You could’ve dressed up”
Does this choice matter? The kiss absolutely does. This is you definitively committing to the Blond Blazer romance path.
Our Analysis:
- “Why care what I think?” is deflecting—strange choice after agreeing to dinner
- “KISS HER” is the romantic escalation option
- “You could’ve dressed up” is… honestly kind of rude? You agreed to dinner!
If you chose dinner with Blond Blazer, you probably want to follow through with the kiss. Anything else feels like mixed signals.
Important Note: If you choose the movie with Invisigal instead, you’ll get a different scene and different dialogue options with her. The guide content above focuses on the Blazer path, but both are equally valid story choices.
Episode 4 Complete: A New Structure
Episode 4 ends after your romantic choice plays out. As always, you’ll see community statistics comparing your decisions.
Key Takeaways from Episode 4
Choices That Actually Matter:
- Response to Blond Blazer about her appearance (relationship building)

What Episode 4 Reveals
This episode is about moving forward after making hard choices. You can’t undo cutting a team member in Episode 3, but you can fill the gap. You can’t keep everyone happy, but you can choose who matters most to you personally.
The restructuring isn’t just organizational—it’s personal. Robert is building the life and team he wants, not just managing the one he inherited.
Looking Ahead: What Your Choices Set Up
Episode 4’s decisions create major branching paths:
Team Composition:
- Waterboy players will experience his journey from uncertain rookie to confident hero
- Phenomaman players will deal with his mental health struggles and recovery arc
- Either choice affects team dynamics and available abilities in future episodes
Romance Paths:
- Blond Blazer path likely involves navigating workplace complications and her relationship with Phenomaman
- Invisigal path likely focuses on her growth and overcoming her past
- The person you didn’t choose becomes a potential source of tension or friendship

- Try the opposite team member choice to see how their dynamic differs
- Choose the other romance option for a completely different ending
