#1 - Promises, Promises
Generator Rex - Season 1 - Episode 19
It's Rex's birthday (more accurately the anniversary of when he first joined Providence) and Six has flashbacks about how Rex first joined Providence. Back when Providence was forming, captured E.V.O.s were detained only until they were disassembled on a molecular level for study. However, Dr. Holiday, an assistant at the time, believes that studying how nanites cause mutations may one day allow for an option other than kill or contain: cure. One day, Six and his partner White Knight were called to Mexico to deal with a rampaging bio-mechanical E.V.O. only for the E.V.O. to collapse after being battered enough and revealed to be fourteen-year-old Rex. Rex cures a second E.V.O. right in front of Six's eyes and he brings him back to Dr. Holiday to be studied. Despite Rex being her all and more of her wildest dreams rolled into one, Six insists that they keep him under wraps for now. However, White Knight finds Rex and brings him to the head of E.V.O. Studies, Dr. Fell, in hopes that disassembling him will reveal how his curing powers work and how to cure the entire planet all in one shot. However, Six believes that it is too big of a risk to sacrifice what they know will work for something that might work. With assistance from Bobo, a recently captured E.V.O. who was holding the Kremlin hostage for caviar before his capture, Dr. Holiday is able to save Rex. However, White Knight and Six's fight had caused the E.V.O. disassembly machine to overload and destroy all the nanites in White Knight's body, but Rex is able to save White Knight's life by turning off the machine with his powers, in the process, bleaching White Knights skin and hair. Rex's curing abilities has given Providence much needed funding and White Knight is made head of Providence for his zero nanite count. Back in the present, Six gives Rex a Tantō inscribed with the symbol of loyalty for his birthday and states that he has its twin (which was given to him for his birthday the day he found Rex) and sta

#2 - The Swarm
Generator Rex - Season 1 - Episode 16
Rex faces off against a group of mutant locusts that feed on metal, leaving a path of destruction behind them. However, defeating them is not an easy task as. When they are attacked, the locusts keep dividing through binary fission. As the locusts rage toward China (which holds the Earth's largest metal concentration, Beijing), Providence pulls out all stops to halt their advance. Dr. Holiday comes to odds with White Knight, Six, and Rex as she strongly protests against their "attack first, ask questions later" policy. Finally, the team is forced to consult her for help when the increasing numbers of locusts destroy the Great Wall of China where Providence had made its stand. Eventually, Dr. Holiday synthesizes a concentrated version of a pheromone tag used by the locusts to mark prey, which she sent Rex to gather. While trying to gather the pheromone, Rex almost ends up dead. However, the nanite that Dr. Rylander injected into Rex saved his life, and the only sample left was in his underpants (which had red motorcycles on it). After everyone had a good laugh (Dr. Holiday gave Rex his underwear in front of everyone), Providence sprays it on the locusts, causing them to go berserk and attack (and devour) each other. Finally, Bobo, as revenge for Rex destroying more locusts than him, makes it public that "Providence's Secret Weapon, Underwear, Saves the Day". Rex leaves the Providence briefing room in anger as the story runs on TV, while the other Providence agents continue to laugh at his expense.

Generator Rex - Season 1 - Episode 12
While in Hong Kong with Agent Six, cracking down on three E.V.O. criminals, Rex discovers that a member of the gang named Tuck knew Rex despite Rex not being able to remember him. White Knight concludes that there is someone behind the robberies and orders Agent Six to have Rex infiltrate the three criminals. Tuck leads Rex to Tuck's friends Sqwydd and Cricket. Rex can't remember being a member of their gang because of memory blackouts which Tuck mentioned he suffered from frequently. Rex also discovers that they're being forced to work for an E.V.O. crime lord named Quarry. When Rex finally confronts Quarry he discovers that it was he who gave Tuck and the others to Quarry, who reveals the information on a Diary kept on a PDA. This causes the others to turn on Rex. Rex, suffering from a guilt trip, goes to shut down Quarry's ring, causing the others to turn on Quarry after seeing Rex standing up for them and destroying the PDA when Quarry bribed him. Quarry and his E.V.O. servants are arrested by Providence. Rex tells White Knight that Quarry had been apprehended while Tuck, Sqwydd, and Cricket had gotten away. Rex tells Tuck, Sqwydd, and Cricket that Providence won't come after them long as they don't give good reason and departs on a good note. Back at Providence, Rex informs Holiday and Six of his blackouts. Agent Six gives Rex a journal and pen for Rex to record anything that he does remember to help cope with future black outs while Dr. Holiday theorizes that the blackouts are triggered by extreme trauma.
