His shrink, The Analyst, helps him with blue pills. The plot then moves on to how Neo, who was believed to be dead in the machine war, is still alive and connected to the Matrix along with Trinity.</p>.<p>What follows is the story of how Neo is freed and extracted from his pod, where he realizes Trinity is also alive and is connected to the Matrix. There is a lot of VFX and CGI but they feel dated. Smith has a confusing character arc, confronting Neo with other exile programs, including the Merovingian at one point in the movie.
