Today we begin our NEW ARC - AND welcome a new cast member, Jaclyn, to the cast!

We like to think that myths and gods are artifacts of the past, but they walk among us - humans touched by the power of the Ideal, the realm of human beliefs and emotions. Every god is a Scion of a human feeling, and they can change reality by channeling that power. But when the wrong gods assemble, they can warp reality for the worse; it is up to the newest Scions, young gods just coming into their powers, to learn the twisted game the elder gods are playing and try to break it all to pieces.

To make a new ruling crew: a punk pantheon.

The final finale of our first Riftlings arc! What happens when the world turtle finishes laying it's egg? Where will the Shell Islanders go? What's Jella figured out about the Skreegulls, and what's happening with the rest of the Leviathans around the Riftlands?

FIND OUT! Plus, some hints about our next arc - and info about how to enter to win a free game as a gift!

The researchers deal with all the wreckage caused by the massive World Turtle, Denizen reveals her theories about Leviathans, Mayor Madrigal copes with his failures, and the whole crew faces a final, political problem - who ARE these Inspiravalonian Knights!?

The crew springs into action to save the people of Shell Island, the skreegulls of the rookery, and help the massive World Turtle land safely - all by the skin of their teeth!

The researchers finally get some answers - along with a heaping helping of SERIOUS problems!

Scriv's CPU is busted, so today's episode we bring you a conversation on how to bring characters to life! We'll talk therapy for Batman, whether there even IS a One Piece, whether we're "Pantsers" or "Plotters," and even about how the plot of Transdimensional High developed from the main characters!

The last of the flashback episodes before the EPIC FINALE! Dally makes a final discovery (and gets in trouble) and everybody makes it back to the Float to compare notes.

What will their research uncover? What will happen when they go BACK TO THE FUTURE!? ;)

Mr. Four gets into a tea-time discussion with the local oldies and Drip and Jella get in trouble with Mayor Madrigal. What's in the bottles, guy?!

Dally gets the chance to spend the day as a Craburtle, while Drip and Jella get close to the Heartspring ... what's the mayor UP to, anyway!?

We rewind and add a day to the researcher's mission so they can have a chance to properly investigate Shell Island - and there's PLENTY to figure out!
