Claybourne episodes

  • Episode 40: Weta
    The largest insect in the world is native to New Zealand, armoured, ancient, and surprisingly gentle. A weta in the wrong place becomes an omen, or a message, depending on who you ask. Edith is not asking.

  • Episode 39: Nightmare
    Sleep offers no sanctuary. Dreams in Te Irirangi are vivid, specific, and shared in ways that defy explanation. Thompson wakes gasping. Across town, someone else saw exactly the same thing.

  • Episode 38: Burial Cave
    Mata takes Thompson to a place that is tapu, sacred, and heavy with history. The cave holds the bones of ancestors and the memory of battles fought before Europeans arrived. Something else lives there now.

  • Episode 37: Mind Control
    The word lands with a thud in a conversation that was already uncomfortable. What exactly is Project Delilah? Clive has suspicions, Thompson has fragments, and the station's equipment seems to have opinions of its own.

  • Episode 35: Tangaroa
    Queenie stands at the water and speaks to the sea god. The ocean around Te Irirangi holds its own stories, its own creatures, its own jurisdiction. What the tide brings in is not always what the tide takes out.

  • Episode 34: Shaving Cream
    The mundane and the uncanny coexist in Claybourne with unsettling ease. A domestic morning ritual is interrupted by something that shouldn't be possible. The ordinary is no longer a reliable refuge.

  • Episode 33: Blackmail
    Someone in town has leverage, and they intend to use it. The satellite station's secrets have a market value, and not everyone's motives are noble. Trust, already in short supply, becomes currency.

  • Episode 32: 120 Grand
    Money arrives in Te Irirangi, and money changes everything. Frank sees an opportunity. Others see a trap. The sum is specific enough to suggest that someone has done very precise calculations about what Claybourne is worth.

  • Episode 31: Elle McPherson
    Mike has a poster, a dream, and a very limited frame of reference for the wider world. A conversation about aspiration and escape at the garage becomes unexpectedly poignant. Not everyone in Claybourne wants to stay.
