This episode is not for the unprepared. Mary and Renee dive into The City of Ember, and much like Lina and Doon, they end up somewhere unexpected by the end. Join us on a journey into an underground society that still hasn’t figured out fire after 241 years but has functioning greenhouses. Our two child laborers/heroes have to discover the way out of their dying city before food runs out—but they have to contend with a selfish mayor and naive citizens along the way (not to mention solve the mystery that is a candle and decipher the meaning of the word “boat”). It’s a journey that starts with an Attack on Titan OVA, through references to Wayward Pines and Doctor Who, and concludes in fanfiction.
