Arlo reaches a breaking point with her closest relationships, Liv rekindles things with her family and her new girlfriend, and they exchange unique Yuletide gifts. Then, the Cicada Queen joins us to talk about her many millennia of sleep, her desire for total domination, her surprising connection to Aang the Avatar, and her perspective on free will and choice. And something…big… happens.
