Don't you know how it ends, Bill? You started the story. Now you've got to finish it. As the end looms just ahead of them, Bill remembers how it all began--and begins to grasp the role he has to play in the days ahead. But as the past comes, fragmented, into focus, it begins to reassert itself in other ways, too. Once they remember--truly remember--who they are to each other, will any of them be able to walk away from it all? Or will the challenge in front of them feel even more impossible once the Losers know they have something to lose?

Well...at least you know you didn't come back here for nothing. As the Losers begin to remember the shape of their shared past, they're faced with a choice: to confront a thing they desperately want to forget, or to run from a home they've only just started to rediscover. But then again, maybe they don't have as much of a choice as they think. One thing's for sure--if they stay in Derry, the past is bound to catch up. And right now, It knows them better than they know themselves.

The team manages, against all odds and terrible time management skills, to get back together--and to start putting the pieces together as well. But as usual, the information they have only leads to more questions. Do they know a monster when they see one? Are there innocents wrapped up in all of this? How can they protect the town when they don't know what their enemies are capable of? As always, the solution is probably a slumber party.

Siobhan adjusts to life behind a desk and grapples with the changing nature of her responsibilities. Martha faces a difficult apology and an even more difficult conversation.

Did somebody say BOTTLE EPISODE? Listen. We've put these gals through a LOT recently, and frankly they deserve a break. We didn't have the budget for a beach episode, and the high school culture festival is a little played out, so we went with everyone's third favorite way to kill the canon--that's right, a D&D episode! Join Siobhan, Martha, Moriah, and their dungeon master Ben on a weird, rollicking, extremely meta tabletop adventure before next week's episode makes us think too much about our decisions!

Editor's Note: Throughout the episode, you will hear out-of-character moments discussing safety and checking in with the other players at the table. Though this may feel as if it disrupts the "flow" of the narrative, we chose to include these moments as we feel that player safety and open, honest communication are very much a part of play, and it wouldn't be an Actual Play podcast without depicting the reality of that element. We hope it encourages you to have more conversations at your own table, and to enjoy the sense of trust and intimacy that these conversations can lead to in your stories!

We don't know what park rangers do. Nobody knows what park rangers do. Are they real? Hard to say.

Can Moriah convince the others she's on the right track? Or will the monster claim another victim? Thanks for sticking with us through some rough audio quality. We promise it gets better after this first arc, and we hope you're enjoying the story!
