In this episode we’re talking about how islands are always under construction. Like Lego. We’re meeting Biscuit’s current villagers and trying to talk to all of them. We’re trying to remember how the starter villagers worked and wondering just how many times Cookie says something is “cute” in this episode (a lot).  Then we’re talking about dreamies, and the ups and downs of the villager trade on both Reddit and the ACNH Black Market (Nook Market?).  

Question of the week: Who are your Top 3 Dreamies? Leave us a comment below!
