JazLaz325
I'm so glad my roommate isn't home, because I would have scared him with how loud I yelled at the end
Lindsey Anderson
Imagine they had gone into the hiatus with that ending lol. I loved the voice acting in the statement part of the episode.
James Rule

So excited 😆
Sunkissedbeetle
that bit where Sam asks Alice why she's still working at the archive felt sooo much like the scene w/ Jon and Martin at the end of season 1 - a ghost!
Diana Zandate
The second she said their names!!! My heart!!!!!!
Bryttanie Eastman
AAAAAAAAAAH
Belle
AHHHHHHHHH
Finch Vasquez
HE WASNT FORGOTTEN
Tenacious T from the SD
Question: For as long as Alice has worked for the OIAR, did the death that Sam helped her through happen before or after she started working there? Also, if Alice had been working there 4 years before Sam & Celia started, it seems unlikely that she wouldn't run into things like The Deep until recently. What IS she getting out of her position?
Rachael Thorne
I just heard the last line of the episode, it’s 3.17am and everyone else in the house is in bed. I’m now chewing my fists trying not to scream!
Hélène
OH MY GOD
Nawal Fisher
I can’t make words 😱😱😱😱
Blue Tangerine

Jeanne Doré
Not the audio glitch when Sam says “I can look after myself” 😂
Victoria Wetherington
WHO???!
Julia Diem
I was yelling at my car radio on my drive home. You evil geniuses, you!

HDJHFFHFJ I CANNOT CONSTRUCT A THOUGHT THAT ISN'T JUST 'AAAAA'
mercury on the moon
case spoilers . . . . . . . . . having no means of communication or expression is one of my greatest fears, i think. to be utterly trapped. i rely a lot on my body to feel, understand, regulate, and process my emotions, so it would be unimaginably distressing to lose that connection yet still exist as a consciousness

First with Gwen and now with Alice... Sam seems to have a terminal case of Main Character Syndrome. Like, he wants everyone else to know about the things he's going through, but won't listen when people tell him about what they've seen. Alice basically admitted to him he was right about the Institute and he didn't even seem to pay attention, not with that dogged Sam-ness we've seen from him in earlier episodes.

THE LAST LINE TF
mercury on the moon
OH FUCK. FUCKING HELL. that case has probably been the scariest/my favorite yet. i love the build up of the horror the audience feels at the nature of the experimentation treated as normal to the horror the letter writer feels at the results. and the voice acting was fantastic across the board, especially for gwen and augustus
Sorvelle
I knew this would be a wild episode when I saw 50+ comments after barely an hour 😂
Taylor Tillman-Tess
(imagine me shaking you violently by your shirt collar while you read this) hey what was that??? what was that ??? HEY what THE FUCK WAS THAT????
Kate McKiernan
Fun facts: Hans Berger invented the EEG while attempting to find an explanation for telepathy. Everything before his dream about his work seems consistent with a quick review of the history, including the participant with the skull deformity and the equipment he worked with. Also, he was a Nazi.
Hayley
Holy shit this episode was everything 🤩 What a cliff hanger!
Steven Stouffs
OMG! OMG! OMG!
LainyJP
The "statement" gave me chills! Like.. wow! I feel like this is very ominous and may provide some insight about why this universe may be susceptible to the rift. So good.
Heather MacKenzie
THE WAY I JUST SCREECHED!!!
Cassie Seyer
WE ARE SO BACK
ThenForgotten
Aaaaaahhhhhh diskcjwjqksjc !!!!!
Ace

Reynard Du Maurier
Welp….I’ve been through the Archives 1,5 times already, but THIS one got me straight out shaking. Good job✨✨✨
Gabz
NAME DROP! NAME DROP!!! *coughs* okay now that's out of my system. I am so curious as to what Alice's deal is! And what is going on with Celia!
Hannah Burt
Really glad I decided to wait until after work to listen to this. The scream I just let out at the end would have gotten me in trouble. How am I supposed to wait a week??
Nico DeStefano
hi i’m feral please help
Kaurakahvi
With all due respect. HOKAY HOLY SHGHGHFJRJ. WHAT
iceriel

Sarah Tavana
help! 🗣help! 🗣 we! 👯♀️out! 🕺 out! 🕺we! 👯♀️ out! out! out! out! 🗣🗣👯♀️🗣
HemiDemi
First: Lena is just outwardly frightening and I love that for her. Gwen seems like she's going to do something dumb and I cannot wait. The letter kicked ass. Very creepy, great buildup, just the kind of subtle horror I love from these series. Alice being protective is really cute (in a not-healthy sort of way) And finally how fucking dare you Jonny, how am I supposed to be normal for another week.
AK
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
astro
audibly gasped out loud in the grocery store 😭
Ian
Wellp, I just felt the last few functional sanities in my head exit the building, I am now frothing at the mouth and incapable of waiting a week LOL! Superb episode.
Mother of Ferrets
Alex too... don't forget he is evil enemy I'd we do respect his craft!
ShinyPenUnlimited
This episode was incredible Got the chills man Figures that this is a Jonny one
Mother of Ferrets
Argh! Names!!!!! I literally squeeed to myself whilst listening!!!
RedDedZombie
Alternatively... "isn't that the guy who plays the narrator in Slay The Princess?"
John Curry
Literally got chills when Jonnys name was mentioned
HeavenlyBibi
It definitely gives that impression, that Freddy and JMJ are crying out to Sam cause he’s the only one who is listening In a way, they are screaming into a void hoping that someone is listening to them
TheMunsterMash
WE’RE IN IT NOW BOYS
Emily Bauer
NEARLY CHOKED ON MY SOUP THANKS
Emily Palomo
I gasped irl
Sonia Melnyk
OH MY GOOOOD! Celia knows! 👻❤️🔥

Lisette

Mon221B
Ahhh dropping those names and then just ending?! Y'all are trying your best to kill me!
VMW

Sydnamon
Jonny how COULD YOU END WITH THAT
BuriedInTheArchives
YES SAME. I had to fight to be normal at work
Ellie, the Queer Theologian
Oh! My! God!
Honey Coffee
The scariest thing is the experiment has been done and it is as if there are two different beings occupying the same body after the two halves of the brain have been disconnected. Just that one of them cannot speak. Chilling
_C4L4M1TY_
Jonny istg I'm about to cry rn
Betty
CHARACTER MENTIONS 🚨🚨🚨🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨🚨🚨
Onionfellow
What if this a cry for help from the voices inside Freddie? Especially with the "outburst" at the end of the case and Alice's question to them last week.
RedDedZombie
Sam: “…wasn’t he in a band?”
Anthony
there’s so much more to chew on i’m going to die. angry boy sam. my poor little meow meow alice. that CASE, the *soundtrack.* ugh ugh ugh. time to listen 50 more times in a row.👁️
isaac
oh my god??????
Anthony
Never in my life did I think Lena would have me in a chokehold as tight as Jonah Magnus but it has HAPPENED😫😫😫 I can physically *feel* Gwen about to make another stupid choice… of COURSE Mrs. Kelley :)
Cyanmoon1
Ohhhh this statement made my hairs stand up
Grace 'Gengar' Soria
"I might have come across a few important names" AAAAAAHHHHH OMGOMGOMG
Betty
So is there some sort of “Spooky Bluetooth” version of this that transmits questions to those compelled to give a statement?
Martins Teakettle
Istg, the way i punched my car seat cuz screaming in a car with open windows in town is not the best idea
SentientBogOrb
