Thank you so much to Patrick for commissioning this episode!
So it looks like Al is going to come out on the other side of this, which I didn't really doubt but it was still tense to watch. I just love how the show has decided to sideline him while still using this as a character study instead of an excuse to get lazy with plotting. The way that everyone just hovers in the Gem waiting for something, anything to happen...it is really telling.
I really can't imagine what the hell is going on with Miss Isringhausen, and does she actually know Silas from earlier or is she just busting in there with this bizarre story? I have no idea what to make of her.
Thank you so much for listening, everyone, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
