Dispatch Gets Personal: The Romance Decision
Just when you thought Episode 4’s biggest choice was behind you, Dispatch throws another curveball your way—but this time, it’s about the heart, not the roster. After dealing with the fallout from cutting either Coupe or Sonar, welcoming a new hero to the team, and managing two intense dispatch shifts, Robert faces a much more personal decision: who does he want to spend his evening with?
Episode 4 marks a turning point where the game transitions from workplace drama to genuine romance territory. The choice between Blond Blazer and Invisigal isn’t just about one evening—it’s potentially locking in Robert’s romantic path for the remainder of the series. No pressure, right?
⚠️ Minor Spoilers Ahead: This guide contains spoilers for the ending of Episode 4 of Dispatch.
How Does This Choice Happen?
Let’s set the scene. It’s been a long, emotionally exhausting day at the dispatch center. You’ve onboarded a new team member, worked through two challenging dispatch sequences with the reshuffled roster, and dealt with the lingering tension from Episode 3’s difficult personnel decision.
As the shift winds down and Robert prepares to head home, he notices something: Invisigal is still at headquarters, quietly watching a movie by herself. At the same moment, Robert’s phone buzzes—it’s a message from Blond Blazer asking if he’d like to join her for a late dinner.
The timing is almost too perfect, isn’t it? Both women are extending invitations at the exact same moment, forcing Robert (and you) to make an immediate choice. There’s no “let me think about it” option, no way to gracefully decline both, and definitely no polygamy route. You have to pick one.
This is classic relationship choice design: two appealing options, both characters you’ve spent four episodes building rapport with, and the knowledge that choosing one means disappointing the other.
The Romance Build-Up: Four Episodes in the Making
What makes this choice feel significant is that Dispatch hasn’t rushed into it. Over the course of four episodes, the game has been carefully developing Robert’s relationship with both Invisigal and Blond Blazer through smaller interactions and dialogue moments.
Invisigal’s Journey: Voiced by the incredible Laura Bailey, Invisigal has been a constant presence throughout the series. You’ve guided her through challenges, supported her during her confrontations with Lightningstruck, and watched her grow as both a hero and a person. There’s a comfort and familiarity to her relationship with Robert—they’ve been through a lot together in a short time.
Blond Blazer’s Mystery: Voiced by Erin Yvette, Blond Blazer has been more enigmatic. As someone higher up in the organization, there’s been a professional distance, but also hints of something more personal underneath. She’s the one who made you choose between Coupe and Sonar, adding a layer of complexity to her character.
By Episode 4, both relationships have been developed enough that either choice feels valid and earned. The game doesn’t suddenly spring romance on you—it’s been building toward this moment.
Option 1: Going to the Movies with Invisigal
If you choose to spend the evening with Invisigal, here’s what unfolds:
The Movie Theater Scene
Robert makes his way to the cinema where Invisigal is watching her movie. She’s clearly happy to see him, and they settle in to watch together. It’s a low-key, comfortable moment—the kind of casual hangout that could easily be read as friendship or as something more romantic depending on what you choose next.
The Dialogue Choice
After the movie, you’re presented with three dialogue options that will define the nature of Robert and Invisigal’s relationship:
“We’re getting there.”
- This is the cautious, non-committal response
- It suggests that feelings are developing but Robert isn’t ready to put a label on things yet
- Perfect if you want to keep things ambiguous while still being warm and friendly
- Shows interest without making a definitive romantic declaration
“Thought we already were.”
- This assumes that Robert and Invisigal have already crossed into relationship territory
- It’s confident and forward, suggesting that from Robert’s perspective, they’ve been building toward this naturally
- This choice leans into the idea that their connection has been romantic all along
- It’s the “we’re already dating, aren’t we?” option
“Do you want to be?”
- This is the most direct romantic option
- It puts the decision in Invisigal’s hands while clearly indicating Robert’s interest
- It’s vulnerable—Robert is risking rejection by asking outright
- This choice explicitly frames the conversation as “should we date?”
All three responses acknowledge the romantic tension between them, but they differ in how confidently and directly Robert addresses it. Choose based on how you want Robert to express his feelings and navigate this relationship.
What This Choice Means
Going with Invisigal feels like the more emotionally safe choice in some ways. You’ve spent more time with her throughout the series, she’s been consistently present, and the relationship has been building naturally through shared experiences at the dispatch center. There’s a “friends to lovers” quality to this path that many players will find appealing.
Option 2: Having Dinner with Blond Blazer
If you decide to accept Blond Blazer’s dinner invitation, the evening takes a very different turn:
Invisigal’s Reaction
First, the game doesn’t let you off easy. If you choose Blazer, you see Invisigal’s reaction—she’s clearly disappointed that Robert didn’t join her for the movie. It’s a brief but effective moment that makes the weight of your choice tangible. She was hoping he’d come, and he didn’t.
This is good storytelling: your choices have emotional consequences for the characters involved, and the game makes sure you see them.
Meeting Blazer Outside
Robert leaves the office and finds Blond Blazer waiting outside. Then something unexpected happens: she removes her amulet. For those who’ve been paying attention to the lore and character details throughout previous episodes, this is a significant moment. The amulet has been part of her hero identity, and removing it changes her appearance—she’s showing Robert her real self, not her superhero persona.
This is vulnerability. This is trust. This is Blazer saying “I want you to see the real me.”
The Dialogue Choice
You’re then presented with three very different dialogue options:
“Why care what I think?”
- This is the self-deprecating, deflecting response
- Robert questions why his opinion matters, perhaps feeling unworthy or caught off-guard by the intimacy of the moment
- It’s emotionally guarded—avoiding addressing the vulnerability Blazer just showed
- This response keeps things slightly more reserved while still acknowledging the significance of her gesture
“KISS HER.”
- This is the direct action option, and yes, it’s in all caps for emphasis
- Instead of talking about feelings, Robert acts on them
- It’s the most overtly romantic choice available in the entire game so far
- Bold, passionate, and completely unambiguous about Robert’s attraction to Blazer
- If you want the full romance route with Blazer, this is your answer
“You could’ve dressed up.”
- This is the playful, teasing response
- It lightens the emotional weight of the moment with humor
- Shows comfort and familiarity—you can only tease someone like this if there’s already established rapport
- It’s flirtatious without being as serious as kissing
- Some players might interpret this as slightly rude, but it seems intended as affectionate ribbing
The Dinner Scene
After your dialogue choice, Robert and Blazer go to dinner together. The scene emphasizes the more private, intimate nature of this choice compared to the public movie theater with Invisigal. This is a date in the traditional sense—dinner, conversation, getting to know each other outside of work.
What This Choice Means
Choosing Blazer feels like the more dramatic, “forbidden romance” option. There’s a power dynamic at play (she’s technically Robert’s superior), there’s the mystery of who she really is beneath the superhero persona, and there’s the intense vulnerability of her removing her amulet. This path has a different energy—less comfortable and familiar, more exciting and unknown.
Are There Consequences for This Choice?
Here’s the critical information: there are no gameplay consequences for choosing either Blazer or Invisigal. The game won’t punish you with worse dispatch outcomes, team relationship penalties, or story roadblocks based on who you spend the evening with.
However—and this is important—the choice appears to lock in your romance path for future episodes.
What “No Consequences” Actually Means
When we say “no consequences,” we mean:
- Your superhero team won’t perform worse
- No characters will refuse to work with you (unlike the Coupe/Sonar fallout)
- The story will continue regardless of your choice
- There’s no “bad ending” associated with either option
What “Locking Your Romance Path” Means
But the choice does have narrative consequences:
- Whoever you don’t choose will likely be disappointed or hurt
- Future episodes will probably develop the romance with your chosen character
- You may be unable to pursue the other character romantically in later episodes
- The game has been building toward this choice for four episodes—it matters for the story
Think of it like this: it’s not mechanically punishing you, but it is directing the narrative down one path or another. The consequences are emotional and story-based, not gameplay-based.
Who Has Better Chemistry with Robert?
This is the million-dollar question, and honestly, it’s entirely subjective. The writers have done a good job giving both relationships validity:
The Case for Invisigal
Shared History: You’ve worked closely with Invisigal throughout the series. You’ve seen her struggle, supported her victories (like capturing Lightningstruck in Episode 3), and built genuine rapport through day-to-day dispatch operations.
Emotional Accessibility: Invisigal has been more emotionally open throughout the series. You understand her motivations, her challenges, and her personality. There are fewer mysteries here—what you see is what you get.
Natural Progression: The relationship has developed organically through shared experiences. It doesn’t feel forced or sudden—it’s been building steadily over four episodes.
Comfort and Compatibility: They work well together professionally, which often translates to personal compatibility. They’re teammates first, which provides a strong foundation.
The Case for Blond Blazer
Depth and Mystery: Blazer has been more enigmatic, which makes her more intriguing to some players. There’s a sense that you’re still discovering who she really is, especially when she removes her amulet.
Emotional Intensity: The power dynamic and the fact that she’s been more reserved makes moments of vulnerability (like the amulet removal) feel more significant and weighted.
Romantic Drama: There’s something inherently compelling about the “boss and employee” dynamic (though the game handles it tastefully). It adds dramatic tension that the Invisigal route doesn’t have.
The Grand Gesture: Blazer asking Robert out for dinner and removing her disguise feels like a bigger romantic statement than Invisigal casually watching a movie.
My Take
Both relationships work, which is good game design. The choice should be based on which dynamic appeals to you more:
- Do you prefer the comfortable, earned intimacy of Invisigal?
- Or the exciting, mysterious attraction of Blazer?
There’s no wrong answer—just different relationship dynamics that will appeal to different players.
What About Trophy/Achievement Hunters?
Unlike the Coupe vs Sonar choice in Episode 3, there’s currently no indication that this choice awards different trophies or achievements for each path.
However, if you’re a completionist who wants to see all the content, you’ll eventually want to play through both routes to experience:
- Both sets of dialogue options
- Both evening scenes (cinema vs. dinner)
- How the different romantic paths develop in future episodes
Completionist Strategy:
- Play through Episode 4 with your preferred romantic choice first
- Complete future episodes to see how that relationship develops
- Eventually replay Episode 4 and choose the other character to experience that narrative branch
- Use our complete episode walkthroughs to make sure you’re not missing other important choices
How This Fits Into Dispatch’s Larger Narrative
What’s interesting about this choice is its placement in the overall story structure. Episode 4 is essentially the midpoint of the season (assuming a typical 8-episode structure for episodic games like this). Having the romance choice happen at the midpoint is narratively smart:
- It gives the first half of the season to develop both relationships
- It provides time in the second half for the chosen romance to deepen
- It creates stakes beyond just the superhero management gameplay
- It makes Robert feel like a fully realized character with personal desires and relationships, not just a work avatar
The timing also works well emotionally. After the stress of cutting a team member in Episode 3, Episode 4 offers something more positive and hopeful—the possibility of romance and connection in the midst of workplace chaos.
Community Reactions and Popular Choices
From what I’ve seen in the Dispatch community, players seem fairly evenly split between Team Invisigal and Team Blazer, though with a slight edge toward Invisigal:
Team Invisigal: Many players feel more connected to Invisigal because of the time spent with her throughout the series. Laura Bailey’s performance also wins a lot of hearts. Players appreciate the natural progression of the relationship and find it more emotionally satisfying.
Team Blazer: Players who choose Blazer often cite the amulet reveal scene as the deciding factor. The mystery around her character and the dramatic energy of the dinner invitation appeals to those who like more intense romantic narratives.
Interestingly, some players make their choice based on which hero they kept in Episode 3—if they felt guilty about one of their Episode 3 choices, they try to “balance it out” with this decision, which shows how interconnected the narrative feels.
Tips for Making Your Decision
Here’s my advice for approaching this romance choice:
1. Think About the Entire Series: This isn’t just about Episode 4—it’s about the relationship you want to explore for the rest of the game. Which character do you want to see more romantic content with?
2. Consider the Dialogue Options: Look ahead at the dialogue choices each path offers. Do any of them particularly appeal to you? The “KISS HER” option with Blazer is pretty bold—if that excites you, that might be your answer.
3. Replay Value: If you’re planning to replay Dispatch for achievements or just to see different outcomes, don’t stress too much. You can always experience the other path later.
4. Follow Your Gut: Your immediate instinct when presented with the choice is probably the right one for your playthrough. Don’t overthink it—go with who you’re more drawn to.
5. Accept That Someone Will Be Disappointed: Unlike some game choices where you can make everyone happy, this is inherently an either/or situation. That’s okay. It’s realistic and adds emotional weight to your decision.
6. Consider Your Robert: Think about the version of Robert you’ve been playing throughout the series. Based on his previous dialogue choices and actions, who would he naturally gravitate toward? Playing in-character can make the choice feel more authentic.
The Dialogue Follow-Ups Matter Too
Don’t just think about who you’re choosing—also consider how you want to express that choice through the dialogue options:
For Invisigal:
- Want to be cautiously optimistic? Choose “We’re getting there”
- Want to assume you’re already together? Choose “Thought we already were”
- Want to be vulnerable and direct? Choose “Do you want to be?”
For Blazer:
- Want to be self-deprecating? Choose “Why care what I think?”
- Want maximum romance? Choose “KISS HER”
- Want to keep it playful? Choose “You could’ve dressed up”
The follow-up dialogue adds another layer of customization to your Robert’s personality and relationship style.
Looking Forward: What This Means for Future Episodes
As of Episode 4, we don’t know exactly how these romance paths will develop in future episodes. Will they significantly diverge, or will they follow similar narrative beats with different characters? Will the non-chosen character find happiness elsewhere, or will there be ongoing awkwardness?
What we do know:
- Dispatch has shown it respects player choices and makes them matter
- The game has dedicated four episodes to building these relationships, suggesting they’re important to the overall narrative
- Future episodes will likely feature romantic scenes and moments with your chosen partner
- Your choice adds personal stakes to the superhero management story
Stay updated on when new episodes release to see how your romance choice plays out in the continuing story.
Final Verdict: Follow Your Heart (Literally)
Unlike the Episode 3 choice about cutting team members, which had strategic considerations, this choice is purely about which relationship you find more compelling and want to explore further.
Choose Invisigal if:
- You value the comfort and familiarity you’ve built with her
- You prefer relationships that develop naturally through shared experiences
- Laura Bailey’s performance has won you over
- You want a more straightforward, emotionally accessible romance
Choose Blond Blazer if:
- You’re intrigued by her mystery and want to discover more about her
- You enjoy the dramatic tension of the power dynamic
- The amulet reveal scene resonated with you
- You want a more intense, passionate romance option
There’s no wrong choice—only the choice that’s right for your version of Robert and your experience with Dispatch.
Wrapping Up
The romance choice in Dispatch Episode 4 represents a significant narrative moment where the game shifts from workplace drama to personal relationships. Whether you spend the evening at the movies with Invisigal or at dinner with Blond Blazer, you’re making a decision that will shape Robert’s personal life throughout the remaining episodes.
The good news? There are no gameplay penalties for either choice. The potentially bad news? You’ll disappoint someone no matter what you pick. But that’s what makes meaningful choices meaningful—they matter because they have weight.
