    SAM is not okay, maman. In fact, no one is. Gotta call in Tilly, maman. DO a little Our Town. Emily can't come back, but Tarima can. But what if there are two ghost girls? It's a Real Life tearjerker, maman.

    Okay, maman, so Jay-Den is Darem's Ko'Zeine, but will he co-sign this Khionian lifestyle design? We also have warp slugs, altered recommendation letters, and long, lingering silences that are sure to cause rifts!

    Fire up your singularity drive, maman! It's time for the tiny fireflies because there are Furies who hate being Furies and they're in pain all the time, maman. It's rough! Plus there are twists and stuff being pulled out of necks and some rough revelations about sons and the sacrifices people make along the way! Powerful episode, maman!
