And by the end of the night, Jett isn't Jett anymore.
This is the episode where everything changes.

WELL-BEING DISCLOSURE
Like any good story told around the table, Off the Beaten Quest can wander into shadow as well as light. Because our world is improvised, some moments may touch on themes that feel heavy or close to home. If you ever find yourself needing space, we encourage you to pause, skip ahead, or step away entirely. There’s no wrong way to engage with this story — only what feels right for you.
