Intellectually, we knew the stakes were life and death. We knew not all of our cherished survivors would make it to the final act. Yet, knowing is one thing. Seeing and feeling the sudden and tragic loss of beloved characters is another thing entirely. The skeptic in me, the spoiler addict in me, saw it all coming. Yet still, I was devastated. I thought I’d stemmed the flood of tears, until Hurley, Kate, and even Jack broke down on screen. Jen was a wreck, literally speechless, and ended her evening with the final thud. Cling as we might to the flash-sideways as a possible escape hatch to happiness, and as warm and wonderful some of those off-island moments have been, it’s obvious tonight that our hearts were with the characters on the island. The ones we’ve followed for half a decade.
Sun and Jin were reunited only one episode back, and it was a moment that felt incomplete, rushed. We voiced fears that their days were numbered now that their characters’ primary objective had been met. But so soon? So beautifully cruel? I stopped breathing the moment we saw that Sun was trapped. I tried to muster at least an eye roll, but it was too late. I was a goner. Giacchino’s powerful “Life and Death” theme was perfectly cued, a bullet to the heart.
I half expected, hoped, and even rationalized that Jin would indeed leave Sun one last time. After all, don’t all “go on without me!” scenes end that way? And what of Ji-Yeon? But he chose to perish with her, the two of them indeed together forever, entombed in a submarine. The parallels to Charlie’s death were not accidental… and surprisingly powerful.
And Sayid! His heart to heart with Desmond did light a spark of goodness in him, as we’d hoped. But moments after he confirms that he did not kill our damp Scotsman, he makes his final move, his selfless act, giving up his life to a bomb blast so that others may live. He wasn’t, after all, what everyone said he was. Say what you will about how weakly his character had meandered through most of this season, I now can’t help but look back over his first days on the island. An Iraqi, a former member of the Republican Guard, a torturer, a born killer. That this Middle Eastern character dies by self-inflicted bomb in an act of heroism is… eerily poetic.
(Though the much ballyhooed ethnic diversity of “LOST” was certainly thinned tonight.)
And a brief salute to Frank, the hapless pilot, always ready with a one-liner as he was dragged hither and yon. We loved how his eyes twinkled as they returned to the plane, ready for the still seemingly impossible challenge of getting it airborne. Alas, he died but a passenger inside another metal tube. Last words: “Aw hell.”
Deaths aside, the most powerful scene tonight was the showdown between Jack and Sawyer. Jack, realizing that they were exactly where Unlocke wanted them, insists that the bomb won’t kill them unless they do something to allow it to do harm. It directly referenced the amazing scene on the Black Rock earlier this season, when Jack bet his life that the dynamite wouldn’t blow because he lit the fuse. They can’t kill themselves, but they can kill each other… as previous arrivals to the island no doubt did. But Sawyer couldn’t bring himself to trust Jack, especially given what happened the last time he believed Jack’s plan. I could wholly identify with both of them.
Yes, Sawyer pulled the wires, and his action did accelerate and ultimately lead to the C-4 sinking the sub. Why did that happen, when the fuse Jack lit went out? Well, Sawyer did survive the blast. It killed people, including other candidates, but it didn’t kill him.
Meanwhile, an endless debate is born: was Jack right? Had Sawyer not acted, would nothing have happened? It seems a heck of a gamble on Unlocke’s part, putting a timer on a bomb on a submarine (a very direct act), with the expectation that someone would discover it and set it off for him. Just how indirectly do his actions have to be to cause the death of a candidate without breaking the rules?
The one other top-shelf reveal in “The Candidate” seems to be the fact that Unlocke is The Bad Guy. Full stop. No more ambiguous hints and sympathetic overtures. After weeks of being merely menacing and threatening, this week he’s downright merciless, walking right into a hail of bullets and killing without breaking a sweat. And his plan all along was, indeed, to eliminate the candidates. He wanted them all together because they’d be easier to kill together. But he knows some survived, and he’soff to finish what he started.
Does this mean that Unlocke The Man in Black, the smoke monster, what have you — is actually the embodiment of a great and powerful evil? An evil from which the rest of the world must be protected? It would seem so. And given what Sayid said moments before he died, it sure looks like Jack is Jacob’s successor. He is The Candidate. He sure said that he’s not leaving the island enough times tonight. What else could his calling or purpose be at this point but to continue to confound Unlocke’s attempts to leave?
Desmond, though, remains key to the end game. And that’s something that Widmore seems to have known all along. And it’s Widmore’s role that remains a mystery to me. After all, the C-4 that blew up the submarine came from a booby trap on the plane, one that does seem to have been set by Widmore. If Widmore wanted to destroy the plane, he could’ve done so already. So, couldn’t he have helped Unlocke exterminate the candidates, had they all climbed aboard and turned the key?
Then again, Widmore did try to lock the candidates up in cages, telling them it was for their own good. If it’s as simple as that, though, what is Widmore up to?
As for the flash-sideways, more wonderful moments, to be sure. Just this week, they were greatly overshadowed by the island timeline.
I like that Jack knows himself well enough to see how strange it is that he’s compelled to learn why Locke doesn’t want an operation. Helen asks why it isn’t enough that he saved his life, and Jack says, “Because it’s not.” Seeing the once intimidating Anthony Cooper reduced to an invalid was a surprise. Discovering that it was Locke who caused his father’s paralysis, as well as his own, in a plane crash was cool twist. Locke had his crossover moment, mumbling “push the button” and “I wish you believed me.” And then Jack makes a connection, telling him the same. Their chat in the hospital hallway, when Jack tells Locke to let go even when he can’t let go himself, was great.
What of the music box from Christian? “Catch a Falling Star” has followed Claire around from the beginning. Will Christian be revealed, so very late in the season, as someone else who knew or saw “the truth”?
Two more Tuesday nights. Then, the two and a half hour (yes, they announced the extra 30 minutes tonight) series finale on May 23. There’s not much “LOST” left. I have to say, even if on a purely visceral level, “The Candidate” is the first episode of this last season to feel like I expected this last season to feel like. It shocked me. It angered me. It hurt me. I expect nothing less over the final hours of the best show on TV.
- Is it shocking to kill off several main characters in one episode? Yes. Is it unexpected? No. And stepping back a bit, I’m glad they hit us late and hard, rather than killing off one character every few episodes. Back in the early seasons, there was a “Survivor” like element as we bet on who would be the next to buy the farm. The deathwatch mindset kind of trivialized things. Sure, more characters will be lost over the next few hours, but in this last act, that comes with the territory.
- Flash-sideways Jack is increasingly likable. Standing there, looking dashing in his scrubs as Helen thanked him for saving Locke’s life, he seemed almost ready for a guest appearance on “Gray’s Anatomy.”
- All season long, the writers go out of their way to say, “We don’t know whether Sun or Jin is the candidate.” With both killed off, it looks like we’ll never know.
- Kate, meanwhile, hears twice that she’s not a candidate and not needed. The more that’s emphasized, the more it feels like she’s being set up to be a spoiler.
- Neat “mirror moment” with the music box, when we see both Claire and Jack reflected.
- Sawyer’s nickname for geeky Widmore thug: Dougboy. Jen had been calling him Pugsley.
- Locations: The hospital and care home were both the Rehab Hospital of the Pacific in Liliha. Bernard’s dental office was Kahala Dental Care in the Kahala Office Tower (adjacent to Kahala Mall).

I really was not prepared for what went down on the sub in tonight’s episode. I’m still digesting it all, but I really can’t believe we lost Lepidas (most likely), Sayid, Sun, and Jin in about 2:00 minutes of television. I’m just shocked.
After seeing this episode, I think one thing is guaranteed: we are not in store for a happy ending.
@Jesse. Ben, miles and Richard were going to get bombs from the barracks to blow up the plane. Ironically they don’t need to, because it’s already rigged up.
I’m sure everyone caught it, but when Locke was talking in his sleep in the flash sideways, he said “push the button” and “I wish you had believed me.” Both lines were spoken by Locke while on the island. “Push the button” was said by Locke referring to the button pushed every 108 minutes in the hatch to discharge the electromagnetism, and “Jack, I wish you had believed me” was Locke’s suicide note. (though instead of suicide he was killed by Ben instead).
So it seems to indicate that, at least while dreaming, Locke was aware of the island timeline.
That– I– this is– what–
I think I need to cry. “Dusty in the living room,” is that the phrase? I think this is way beyond that. Just wow.
Random question- whatever happened to Miles? Smokey said that everyone scattered into the jungle or died, which leaves his fate in question. If Miles is dead, that brings the body count of this episode up to a whopping 5 main characters! Way to hit us HARD, Darlton.
I’m honestly in shock. “The Candidate” was an unprecedented blow to the heartstrings.
Jesse – Yeah, I hated the final commercial break cut. With the time gap, the emotional recreations of Kate, Jack, and Hugo seemed contrived. I wasn’t there anymore, though if that scene had occurred before the break, it might have hit me harder.
@LReene
I’m sure Sayid knows that Jack is the one who is going to have to free Des and defeat Locke…or that is what he means anyways. Sayid has been close to FLocke long enough to “read” him a bit, and obviously Des was a menace…somehow he also knows Jack’s new found faith is the strongest weapon they currently have against MIB. That’s what I thought as he said that to him anyways. We’ll (maybe) know what he meant in 2 weeks!
See, I’m already reading 3-4 posts about how this was a sad episode…
i just don’t feel it..
I mean…
Boone, Charlie, Ana Lucia, Libby, Ecko..
all lost death’s i actually walked away going “damn….”
But… this season..
we have death’s that are almost comical, almost emotionless, and now Sayid, Frank, and the Kwons…
and I think it just hit me….
is the reason why none of these death’s feel… important… or sorrowful…
becuase we know they still exist in another time line?
I mean…they went out of their way to show Jin with the flowers…
So, in the end…their death’s really don’t mean anything…
Why did Sayid run off with the bomb? Jack CANNOT die!!!! The bomb would not have gone off….Jack is the Candidate. Nothing would have happened if they had left the bomb where it was. No one would have had to die. Jin and Sun would still be alive.
At least Sayid halfway redeemed himself by giving up his life for everyone else. Even he knew that Jack was the Candidate. He told Jack where Desmond was and said that Jack would need him.
I know that Locke is going to decide to have the surgery. Jack said, “Why won’t you believe me?”
That’s what Locke was dreaming about in the hospital. He remembered it as he rode away in his wheelchair.
I loved it! Best episode of the season!!!!! They keep getting better and better.
@pancake—
miles is with richard and ben—so it’s unlikely he’s a goner. yet.
@John Fischer – lol, no, my ears aren’t that great. Just happen to have my media ctr computer right next to my desktop. Was able to re-listen and pause, re-listen and pause, etc. until I got the whole line.
Just maybe Jin is still alive. As Matt Frommnd said “I’m shocked Jin decided to orphan his daughter.” We don’t actually see Jin die. And in the flash sideways world Jin is going into Sun’s room where he may discover that she is dead as well? I don’t know how closely the flash sideways follows the island but if it does maybe it means Jin is still alive on the island as well?”
@Jesse – EXCELLENT observation. I think you are right on track.
I think maybe a large part of the reason that many of us were not totally saddened by the deaths in this episode is because of the alternative universe or timeline. We think/hope that all of those who still live and those who have died will still have a happy life in the alt, so we are kinda desensitized to what is now happening on the island. In one way that’s a good feeling that we hope will lead to a happy ending, but in all honesty it minimalizes all that we have seen for 5 plus years on the island. I’m not sure how I like that.
@Jesse I’m pretty sure (100% actually) Richard, Miles and Ben are ok and still on thei way/at the Barracs. We’ll prob see them in ep 16 again…..I hope. I don’t think I can stand more than 4 weeks without Ben JUST as the show ends! Grrr
@Brendan yeah, totally screamed when John muttered “I wish you had believed me” and when Jack said that back to him….nice writting TPTB, I see what you did there ;D
@Jesse – You took the words right out of my mouth…the Kwon on the wall is the daughter.
I did not read any spoilers and was completely shocked about Jin and Sun…they just re-united! Cried my eyes out.
Phew, at least Miles is safe! Still, that shot of Sun and Jin’s hands was heartbreaking… I’m convinced that Damon and Carlton are evil, soulless masterminds just out to screw with out minds and hearts. Or to produce great TV.
Well, that was cheerful.
Sigh.
I kind of wish they had all died; if they had, I could kind of think, okay, IslandWorld isn’t really real, and they’ll all go off and live happily in SidewaysWorld. But, no. Sun and Jin are… 🙁
Oh, and Sayid, too.
At least it looks like Kate might follow, right?
I wasn’t a fan of about the first half of the episode, especially when they gave up on the plane so quickly after ALL that time of trudging in slow circles toward it. But the second half was pure drama, and it was pretty good stuff. Definitely the rush I wanted from the last season of Lost.
I’m sure next week’s episode will be great, and I really have been looking forward to the MiB/Jacob story, but at the moment, I’m a little bit like, who cares about those guys?? Get us back to the Losties!
Oh well. Really, really can’t wait for the podcast!
Maybe Jack needs Desmond on the sideways flash. Wasn’t sidways desmond getting the list manifest? Jack looked like he was realizing that in the sideways timeline he just kept on bumping into people from 815? Maybe he and Desmond will get everyone from sideways flashes together to help Locke let go and be free or get the surgery or…i don’t know. I was going somwhere with this theory but not sure now. Jack is going to be the one to help Locke and Desmond has the manifest? Now I’m going in circles….
I too was completely unspoiled so i was stunned. I forgot about frank. sniff.
regarding criticisms about how deaths are less tramatic because there’s a sideways world, i don’t feel that way. I am still as invested in these characters and love the sideways world as much as island world. If it means that people have a second chance, so be it. don’t we all want a second chance? how do any of us know that when we make a decision what we don’t do doesn’t happen anyway?
love this show.
@John Fischer
what I’ve been saying exactly…
in the attempt to create the “happily ever after” simultaneous timeline..
they have minimized the drama on the island.
The only purpose the island serves for me now is
1. what is MiBs plan
2. what is Desmond’s purpose
3. what does widmore want
4. will there be a ben v widmore situation
5. what happens to alpert?
Other than that…
I find the off island timeline far more interesting..
I LOVED the final conversation Jack and Locke had in the hospital. That tugged faaaaar more heart strings than any death in this episode.
@Michelle The moment Sawyer tampered with the bomb they were dead. MIB is not allowed to kill them himself, but if they do something to kill each other (willingly or not) then they can die. Jack and Sayid understood that the second the watch started the accelerated countdown and Sayid decided to sacrifice himself to try and save the rest.
HFC. I feel so bad for Sun and Jin. I think the MIB knew that once all the candidates were dead, he would be freed from the Island because he had the feeling like he was waiting on something to happen after the explosion on the sub. I think Jack vs. Locke/MIB will be the showdown in the season finale, but I wonder where the Ben/Richard team are and how they will play into the final battle.
I am at a loss for words – this is amazing and mindturning and I’m confused and bewildered and sad and JACK CRIED!
It’s really interesting to watch the juxtaposition of Jack & Locke since season 1…
What will happened in the flashsideways when the lostie’s die on the island? Do they ‘get what they want’?
Status: kate is still jailed, Sun is in the hospital, Claire has 4 episodes to deliver her baby, where’s Boone? and Shannon? and WAAAAAALT (if he shows up in the flashsideways as a kid – Damon & Carlton would have proved they knew it all from the start… that would be AWESOME!)
Oh Good God, Sayid, Jin, Sun, Frank and an unconscious Sawyer. I was blown away by this episode and cried when Hurley cried. That broke my heart, hearing him for the first time sob. What an incredible show…what an incredible cast and crew. No other show will ever compare to this one. I miss it already.
lmao… after reading all these replies of tears shed…
I’m convinced I must just be a heartless bastard 😛
I think it’s time to remember when we look at the deaths on the island versus the happy lives in the alt that the original title for this series was not LOST but The Circle.
John Fischer—He said that Desmond is in the well and he said he was telling Jack bcuz Jack was going to need him.
Wow….what an emotionally draining episode. The death of Jin and Sun, while echoing Titanic, was far more emotional. And Hurley weeping on the beach? That was one of the most powerful scenes in the history of Lost. Just as Hurley has been the voice of the audience for the last couple of seasons, when he began to sob I felt as though he was the physical manifestation of how we all felt about Sun and Jin.
Did Frank die? Wow – I missed it — so much was going on that I didn’t even catch what happened to Frank.
I LOVED that Sayid’s redemption happened by way of sacrifice. It was like an amalgamation of Charlie’s death and Mikhail’s. Both died underwater, and one blew up. I can’t help but wonder though, will Zombie Sayid come back for one more round like ol’ Patchy did?
I’m starting to really not care about the Flash Sideways. I was talking to my wife (a non-Lost fan who tolerates me to no end) about Sun and Jin, and she asked if their deaths were in the sideways or on island. It occurred to me that, if they had died in the sideways, I wouldn’t care – the characters that I’ve grown to love over six seasons are not in LA – they’re off island. I’d much rather spend time with them on the island than in some parallel universe that seems to be spinning its wheels at this point.
I’m very excited that speculation can end about Desmond being alive too – I’m POSITIVE that he’s central to the defeat of Unlocke.
Also, can we all agree now that UnLocke/Smokey/Man in Black are the bad guy now?
I will never watch that episode again.
Why?
Damon Carlton and all of you…I will never forgive you for this…
Seriously…. Why did you do this to me!?
F***
I can’t watch that episode again..
This episode was finale material… Jin and Sun were such a heart and soul of this show…Seeing Hurley, Kate and Jack break down was too hard to watch…
MiB CAN GO TO f***ing hell!
I apologize for my immature and crude language. But my heart is torn…
RIP SAYID
RIP sun and jin (and frank)
I’ll see you all in another life, if not in this one…
@ Jeremy…
if there was any friggin doubt that MiB was a bad piece of sh*t…this fuc*ing confirms it…
I was unspoiled about the deaths, so Sayid redeeming himself and the Jin sacrificing himself to stay with Sun hit pretty hard.
But what really, really got me was Hurley sobbing for them. That man is the heart and soul of the island. So, if Jack becomes the next Jacob, will Hurley be his Alpert?
The rest…well, it’s finals week at school, and my head was already exploding before the episode even started. I’m a complete mess. I think I need some sleep. And a shot of tequila.
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!, I need another box of Kleenex!!! HOLY FREAKING CRAP is all that I have to say right now. Goodnight….
was looking at an indy music website..
and it has a song called “My Own Sinking Ship” by a band called Good Old War…
and it REALLY seems like it would go side by side with this episode…
wow…
it actually made me kind of sad.
Best line – Jack talking to Hurley on the sub…..”There is no more Syaid!” Amazing! The scene with locke and Jack in the hospital was some epic writing.
I can’t believe I waited 2 weeks for that. So many plot holes I thought I was watching Swiss cheese.
Kate couldn’t climb out of the cages? MIB can make bombs out of cheap digital watches? Pounds of C4 and all it does it go “boom” (softly)? MIB picks up watch _before_ getting C4? And Frank Lapidus was there to do what, exactly?
Sorry D&C, not one heartstring tugged with the goodbye of Jin & Sun.
Even my wife, who is Never critical of the show said it was disappointing. Sorry guys, 2 thumbs down here.
Another thought –
In discussing the show with my non-Lost fan wife, she said something along the lines of “I can’t watch – all of the characters are going to die in the end, and I can’t handle that.” My hope is, while a lot of people will probably die, the one I hope doesn’t is Hurley.
Hurley is the purest character in the show. He’s the voice for the audience, the most likable character (I don’t think he committed any real wrongs before the crash – correct me if I’m wrong), and his only fault is that he likes a bucket of Fried Chicken or a giant jar of Ranch dressing once in a while. Hurley is the proverbial heart of the show, and if Darlton (heartless bastards that they are…) kill him off, I don’t know if I can ever watch Lost again.
Not only did Sayid, Sun, and Jin die in the sub, by seemingly so did Lapidus, which makes me sad. Lapidus was growing on me. It was a nice episode which explained why Unlocke needed everyone together. Maybe if Sayid wouldn’t have ran off with the C4, maybe the same thing would have happened with the dynamite at the Black Rock. Hmmm.
Also, why is Kate’s name crossed out when she isn’t dead and how does Unlocke know there are still survivors?
Get ready to see Desmond and the mysterious boy next week guys. Also, I think the mysterious boy that’s been tormenting Unlocke was also appearing as Walt to Shannon. Maybe?
Anyway tonight’s episode was a great, but saddening, episode.
I’m not going to bother repeating most of the observations that everyone has covered so far. But I found the sideways scene with Jack and Claire to be interesting. Still trying to find the meaning in the music box but the moment with mirror definately added importance to the scene. And I definately think sideways Locke had his moment as he was wheeling away from Jack in the hospital.
Loved the episode. I agree that it is hard to be fully upset with the deaths because of the sideways, and at the same time I expected there would be deaths as we got closer to the end. I feel next week will reveal alot, with only three episodes left, they can’t keep us in the dark much longer.
What if the real candidates are not the ones we think, but their children – Aaron, Jiyun, David, Clementine, Walt etc. The show has put such emphasis on children that they have to come into play. Maybe the alt is all a setup for the new Jacob to touch the real candidates?
I don’t buy the Kwon’s daughter being the Kwon listed as a potential candidate, like some people have supposed. There’s been no evidence to support that anyone that isn’t currently on the island is a candidate. Hasn’t that been the point, that all the candidates have been brought to the island? Unless Widmore has that kid somewhere on Hydra Island, I don’t think she’s the Kwon on the list.
@ John Fischer: Uh, I don’t like to think of Jacob going around touching kids.
I really expected Widmore to die in this episode. I wonder where he goes from here with most of his henchmen dead?
@John
I don’t think a lot of his goons are dead…
the sub guys, the 3-4 guards…
but as long as Tina Fey is alive, he’s got some goons.
I am starting to recover. Wow, that was a total shocker. I thought there wasn’t a way to top Charlie’s tragic selfless death till I saw Jin with Sun. The hands letting go, sob.., I thought he would want to live for his daughter and that Sun would want that too.
Kind of cold that none of the losties asked about Frank. If he died that quickly why did they keep him around for two seasons? What was his purpose besides funny lines?
Oh Sayid, you will be missed. I knew when he cracked a joke with Jack about not having to paddle that he was back. I am glad he got to go out a hero instead of a Zombie.
Can’t really formulate thoughts yet. Has Lost ever got an emmy for music or a grammy? That “life and death” music is just perfect.
@Bryan – did you notice the music box played “Catch a falling star” and was used as a mirror moment? Maybe there is something hidden inside?
It seems obvious now that Jack is the final Candidate. Jack already has the knowledge of how to negate MIB.
If Sawyer leaves the bomb alone, they all live, because MIB can’t kill a candidate. When Sawyer pulled the wire, Sawyer is the one who killed the others. Jack figured it out and Sawyer did not trust him.
Sayid redeemed himself because of his encounter with Desmond.
It is clear that MIB is evil. Maybe Widmore is really trying to stop MIB for good reasons. It is obvious that MIB lies almost every time he opens his mouth.
I was never that invested in the whole Sun/Jin plot, so their deaths were sort of meh. Sayid on the other hand…wow, didn’t see that coming. On a related Jin note though, did anyone notice when Jin came up out the water and told Sun he wouldn’t leave her (forget the exact quote), his voice sounded scratchy or static filled. My wife says it was just him talking through the water, but it didn’t sound exactly like that to me. Even if I’m right I have no clue what it means though. Gotta love this show huh?
@Michelle in GA
I think it wasn’t Sayid running off with the bomb that caused it to explode, but rather Sawyer pulling out the wires. MIB figured they’d try to disarm the bomb, and as soon as they did that and messed up, they were causing the bomb to explode themselves, not him, so they could all be killed despite being candidates. Like Jack said, MIB wants them to kill each other, and that’s exactly what Sawyer did by pulling those red wires out.
Then again, Jack told Sawyer “trust me”, which is exactly what he told Sawyer when he dropped the bomb into the well… and that time Juliet died, so I don’t blame Sawyer for not trusting Jack this time around.
When Juliet said it worked in Episode 1 I believe that means Locke did not escape the Island and all the people that wanted to leave the Island left. The side flash ways is the cherry on top for all of our Characters.
Did it go from day to night really fast? I’ll have to check it out later. But when Claire was freaking out about them leaving, it was broad daylight. Then the c4 explodes and they reach the surface and it’s dark. Not that much time had passed, that we saw anyway.
Wasn’t there another instance of going from light to dark or viseversa really fast earlier in the season?
Could it mean something? Or is it simply a case a when they filmed the various scenes? You’d think they could try harder to match the daylight a little.
@Carol – OMG that’s right. Catch a Falling Star was the song that Claire wanted the adopting parents to sing to her baby when she was in the lawyer’s office back in season 1. I was going to go back and listen to it, but if that’s it, yet another great connection.
I am going to go rewatch tonight’s episode again now. I’ll be back with more once I get my head straight.
