Josh, Agnes and Sunan search for an antidote to The Stuff, but so far "Josh Juice" is not exactly working. There's been some movement! Just.... mostly intestinal. When Dr. Amazing swings in with a trade—the secret to shutting down UltraLife in exchange for Amazing Labs—Agnes reluctantly accepts his deal.
But of course his "simple solution" is more complicated than promised. There's a crackerjack mountain, a martini moat, and death angels on kangaroos for starters; so while Agnes works on all that, Josh and Sunan sneak through the vents at PlexiCorp to distract Dyson in person. They're bestie spies!
Dyson and Frankie stop Agnes and trap her on an island... is there any hope for our heroes to save the day?

The truth about UltraWater and the dolphins comes out and it is... not good. Very not good.
But while Josh, Sunan and Agnes race to stop Dyson Plexis and his evil plans, Frankie's in UltraLife drinking the KoolAid. And discovering that she's nobody's Tamagotchi, she's not a girlfriend, or a sister. She's a god.

Agnes and Ethel—sorry, Frankie! Frankie in Ethel's body!—go on a real date in the real world but it doesn't exactly go as planned.
Josh and Sunan, on the other hand, have a super fun best friend date involving snickerdoodles and a bobsled. But then they discover something less fun... imprisoned dolphins. What is Dyson Plexis up to?
Well, he's getting Frankie back in UltraLife, for one thing. Fresh off the heartbreak of her terrible date with Agnes, Frankie is surprisingly receptive to Dyson's pitch. Are our heroes all splitting up? And what is the deal with UltraWater? And why do Frankie's tears smell like teaberry?

PlexiCorp has it all: a charismatic CEO, a top-of-the-line soundscape, beers on tap, shambling zombie workers fresh off a triple shift... and The Stuff. It's an energy drink, happiness approximator, and all around tasty beverage. It might also control minds but don't worry about it.
Josh and Sunan come to Agnes' rescue, but not before she makes some decisions she might regret. And back home at Amazing Labs, there's an even bigger surprise around the corner.

Frankie and Agnes are having a hard time dating in UltraLife - turns out, it's not easy to have a relationship when one of you only exists in a video game! Frankie resolves to find a real body and get out of UltraLife, and Josh is going to help her whether he likes it or not.
Meanwhile, Dyson and Dr. Amazing plot their world takeover. And Dyson reveals something shocking (and extremely weird) about himself. Plot twist! Together, they come up with a way to convince Agnes to join them - and all it took was a few butterflies and a sexy forest nymph with an intoxicating giggle.

Dad is back! But he's a little peeved to learn that Agnes has taken over his company and begins plotting a teeny tiny bit of revenge.
Meanwhile, Josh and Agnes finally find Frankie in UltraLife. She's got an Identity situation on her hands but Agnes promises to find a way to bring her back in the real world... and save the Amazing Labs... and save the dolphins. No biggie!
Finally, Dyson Plexis makes a devious business pitch at Long John Silver's that could change Amazing Labs—and the world—for good.

After nearly destroying the world a few months ago, things are looking up at Amazing Labs! Sort of.
Agnes clashes with new tech billionaire Dyson Plexis - Dyson's the head of PlexiCorp, the company behind the hit VR game UltraLife, and damn does he look good in a cable-knit sweater. Desperate for some leadership tips, Agnes turns to an unlikely source of advice... Dr. Amazing? Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Meanwhile, Josh tries something innovative and definitely not a bad idea to revive his sister Frankie's brain. But will it work? And why won't Sunan return his phone calls?
All this and more in the first episode of Season 2. For a full list of credits or to donate to the show, visit dearearthpodcast.com or just send to @dearearthpod on PayPal.
