The Midnight Rebellion episodes

    Joule and Cutthroat plan their rescue mission at the rebels’ home base. Nico tries to be positive. Buggy listens to the radio. P.S. Yes, tomatoes are fruits. Please do not send us angry mail.

    • 16 | Lies

      Joule doesn’t trust Cap’n Cutthroat as far as she can throw him—which is not far. (He’s huge!) So she makes something up. The bad news? She’s not the best liar. The other bad news? Puzzles.

      • 15 | Joule, Aboard

        Bright must not keep the machine! Joule continues the journey alone and slips inside Bright’s shipping vessel. But, squid suckers, it is hot, and she did not bring a water bottle. Can she borrow yours? Wait, that doesn’t make sense.

        • 14 | Truth

          Shocked by the big news, Joule decides to trust Cap’n Cutthroat and tell him she lost the machine. (Twice.) Does he keep his cool? We’re going to let you figure that one out on your own. P.S. There’s something in the water.

                • 10 | Hide

                  Joule jumps into the slime pile to avoid getting speared. Smart. But unexpected news threatens her plans, and she seeks advice from a Scottish guy who reads a lot.

                  • 9 | Swim for It

                    We strongly discourage crossing rivers if you don’t know how to swim. Joule does not take our advice.
