Code 8: Part II brings together Connor (Robbie Amell) and Garrett (Stephen Amell) once again, finally giving Connor the justice he deserves after the events of Code 8. The sequel, released five years after the original sci-fi action film, continues the story of these two men with extraordinary abilities, each using their powers for different purposes. Both movies expand on the 2016 short film, set in a world where 4% of the population possess superhuman abilities, but are marginalized and forced into poverty.
In Code 8: Part II, Connor and Garrett join forces to protect Pav (Sirena Gulamgaus), a young girl with incredible superhuman powers who has become a target of the Lincoln City Police Department. Sergeant Kingston (Alex Mallari Jr) leads the department, implementing a new program involving companion robots that turn out to be more dangerous than initially promised to the citizens of Lincoln. The sequel adds twists and turns to Connor and Garrett's complicated relationship, ultimately leading to justice for Connor.

Although it was understandable that Connor ended up in jail for being an accomplice, it seemed unfair that Garrett was still walking free.
Connor decided to team up with Officer Park in order to bring down Marcus and rescue Nia (played by Kyla Kane) in the movie Code 8. Together, Connor and Garrett executed their plan, resulting in Marcus' death. Garrett took over the drug trade, while Connor fled with Nia to help heal his mother. In the end, Connor had a change of heart and released his mother. As part of his deal with Officer Park, Connor ended up behind bars.
Although Connor ended up in jail as an accomplice, it didn't seem fair that Garrett was still walking free. This unfairness becomes more obvious in Code 8: Part II. In the sequel, Connor is released from prison and starts working as a janitor at a community center managed by Mina, a Power and a friend of his mother. On the other hand, Garrett continues to operate his drug business, claiming it to be "ethical" and even creating a community around it.
Furthermore, Garrett had a deal with Kingston where he shared his profits from selling Psyke in return for immunity from prosecution. Fortunately, Code 8: Part II brings justice to Connor by reversing their fates in the end. The sequel concludes with Pav recovering from his injuries and Connor taking charge of the community center with Pav's support. In contrast, Garrett is sent to prison, showing little resentment towards his fate.
After his involvement in a "ethical" drug empire, Garrett believed he was helping the community, but Connor is now truly making a positive impact in harmless ways. Throughout Code 8: Part II, Garrett's unreliable and antagonistic behavior catches up to him, leading to consequences for his actions.

Code 8: Part II wraps up Connor and Garrett’s stories nicely, setting the stage for a possible sequel. While Code 8: Part III hasn't been confirmed yet, there are a few directions the story could go. The tension between humans and Powers remains, and Kingston's arrest doesn't mean the end of police scrutiny on Powers. This could mean more challenges for Connor (and Pav), despite his new job at the community center. As for Garrett, the fate of his drug empire is uncertain, but his imprisonment won't halt the production and distribution of Psyke.
Garrett might still be running his business from jail, and Connor might have to ask for his assistance again, even if it means bending some rules. Code 8: Part II left some unanswered questions for a potential sequel to explore, but it also provided closure for both Connor and Garrett.
Editor's P/S:
The sequel to the 2016 sci-fi action film "Code 8" brings a satisfying conclusion to the story of Connor and Garrett, two men with extraordinary abilities. Connor, who was unjustly imprisoned for his role in the events of the first film, is finally released and finds justice in the sequel. Garrett, who had been operating an "ethical" drug business, is sent to prison for his actions. The reversal of their fates is a fitting conclusion to their complicated relationship and highlights the importance of redemption and consequences.
The sequel also sets the stage for future installments in the "Code 8" franchise. The tension between humans and Powers remains, and the arrest of Sergeant Kingston doesn't mean the end of police scrutiny on Powers. This could lead to more challenges for Connor and Pav, despite their new roles in the community. As for Garrett, the fate of his drug empire is uncertain, but his imprisonment may not halt the production and distribution of Psyke. The potential for a "Code 8: Part III" is high, and the unanswered questions left by the sequel will likely be explored in a future installment.
