Episode 3 Details Title: Secrets Release Date: March 13, 2026 Streaming On: Apple TV+ Summary: In Episode 3, the story shifts hard into fallout and buried personal history. As Shaw, Keiko, Hiroshi, and Kentaro go rogue to track down Titan X, the mission gets messier with Monarch under pressure and outside forces complicating the hunt.
