Tony is not feeling too well, this episode. Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t stop him from babbling for a big chunk of the show. But eventually, he sort of settles back, and William talks a lot about himself and his life, and opens up in a way we don’t often see on the show. It’s pretty impressive. Enjoy!

There comes a point in everyone’s life when they start to change. They grow bigger and grow hair in places they haven’t before. Their voice changes. And they start to discover new feelings.
None of that has happened to Tony or William this week. But other strange things have caused them to hand the reigns over once again to their Evil-Universe counterparts. Enjoy!

We delve into the darkness this week, contemplating the unknowable nature of Lovecraftian narrative, plumbing the depths of our psyches, and contemplating a horrific world in which you got either Tony OR William, but not both.
