These chapters are the ones in which Darrow finally takes the tests to join the Institute and manages to not only pass, but to do so well that he get's questioned about whether he cheated. Once things get moving and he's through the school's doors, we find out why so many people with lower scores were brought along.


Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

This is the episode where Jane is trying to figure out how she can simultaneously be a new mom and continue to follow her dream of going to school and becoming a writer. Meanwhile, Petra is trying to figure out what the hell she's going to do now that she's pregnant, and before the end of the episode! Rafael finds out!


Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you son with a new episode!

These chapters are the ones in which I finally begin to cotton onto the joke about the oh-so-exclusive Hidden Clan, and now I'm really eager to find out what's going on. We also have a check-in with Talia and her friends about her feelings regarding what Alustin said.


Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

In these chapters the pace is pretty quick as we go from finding out how long Mars has been habitable, that the Reds are just lied to, that Golds are literally "built different" and that there's a way to fake that difference. Whew! That's a LOT.


Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

These episodes are the ones where Blackbeard turns up and just saunters the fuck into the prison like there's not legendary security at the damn place. This is when Luffy learns that part of what's going on with Ace's capture has to do with himself.

These chapters are the ones in which the Chitin Wand is finally destroyed, and this triggers a reaction in Labyrinths everywhere...including Mackerel. I talk about this a little, and the folks in the audience throw out some theories, and I'm still not sure if we get the right answer.


Thank you so much to everyone for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

I'm so glad that I'm in this world again, and understandably poor Jane is coping with some very real anxiety about her son getting stolen again. Meanwhile, there's a whole thing going on with the new neighbors who are in a band and playing their music directly into Jane's window, and this leads to a scare with her Abuela's citizenship.


Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

In this section we are still with Luffy as he's fighting up through the prison levels with Iva helping to clear the way. I love the moment when Iva turns the guard into into a woman and the guard is absolutely elated. This arc is just the gift that keeps on giving.

These chapters we FINALLY get to see Hugh & Co. facing off with Alustin, until they're VERY rudely interrupted.

In these chapters I get dropped into the depth of Mars where it turns out there's a thriving (is thriving the word I want?) community that has never seen the sun. The Reds are being driven like slaves to collect helium, and we see a fixed system in action.


Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
