Same. Was so ready for him to not be human lol
Xan
I may or may not annotate the transcripts with theory notes 🫣
Xan
😂😂 That’s a great point; I didn’t put together that his not liking to be stared at is probably an indication of a weakness
Ethan
My guess is she keeps waking up in random places.
Sarah Tavana
if im celia at this point I'd be getting dressed up to go out before I go to bed
Chyou Xian
I'm not saying my brain works exactly like the woman's in that case but I'm also NOT not saying that ETA: The static/glitches when people lie is very interesting. Has happened a few other times, but heard it again here with Teddy. LOVE all the little hints RQ are throwing in, great work as always!
Kate McKiernan

DamianJ
Yup yup do you recon it’s the og Jonah? Like I’m guessing his body was kept in the institute when he body snached and cause his current body (90s) has died in the fire, his power when back to his og body?
Axis S
Ooooh you could be onto something! Something about this def brought up aspects of the fearpocalypse……. interesting
Axis S
Ohhh shit !!! Archivist monster released from Magnus institute in TMP universe (by Sam and Alice) who has power of pseudo resurrection for answering cause of death / to cause them to relive their death repeatedly…. Something?!
Axis S
She seemed to have genuine fear about being spied on so I thought this was TMP universe version of Georgie?
Axis S
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Axis S
Maybe the original monsters in TMP universe are things/people that are fueled by their own fear and that becomes some warped weird power // or maybe post TMA apocalypse things that felt few the most became powerful
mercury on the moon
ohh, i was thinking she was sleepwalking, not teleporting, but i recall she did mention "weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation", so it totally could be. i actually checked today, and it looks like the walk from london to oxford would take over a day, so it's most likely either teleportation or she's taking public transport in her sleep (assuming she actually went to oxford)
Joshua manson
Favorite episode so far! I love how casually it links back to the fact that Jon successfully saved everyone by featuring Georgie in that tidbit. Poor Georgie was the only character who wasn’t aware of how the spider watches everything. Can’t wait for next week
Connor M. Carnall
GEEEEOOOOORRREEEGIIEEEEEEE!!!!!
Tammie
Teddy is interesting.
Ariane Signalis is the Elster Signalis Fan Club and challenges you to play SIGNALIS without pointing at any of the characters an
Bonzo is many things, but he is not unstoppable. He fears being looked at. *racks the slide on my dusty tome labelled CEASELESS WATCHER*. The beast can be killed
Keegan A
!!!!! Well then!!!
SwissCoda
Unironically I had first thought it was Alice until it clicked the voice I was hearing was Sam's. Cuz like, while it'd still be uncalled for, but sort of brushing everything off/hiding behind snarky jokes is something I've come to expect from Alice (please get help girl). But I did not at all expect Sam of all people to react to Gwen like that.
Betty
Augustus case readings hit juuuuust right
Leaf Ryan
Man I thought Augustus would only show up for weird old shit lol
Metin Coker
Anyone else not get notif for this episode? Just saw this
LainyJP
Smart move!
Anthony
i’m not ruling out demon baby just yet
MuddyHippy
DAMMIT SAM!
egg
Oof, yeah. Sam f-ed up real bad.

Do NOT joke about face-stealing, lord, don't do that, you'll get Strangered! Also, getting randomly teleported sounds like hell. Wondering with myself if it happens in Celia's sleep? That would make sense to me, as last episode (I think :/) she woke up in the train, and now she was in her pyjamas. Another option could be, like, someone taking over her body, and that's why she doesn't remember moving around? I'm spitballing, There isn't any substantial evidence to lead to possession. Though I guess all the evidence for *specifically* teleportation come from Celia's account of the experiences, which, for someone who has no memory of moving, would feel like teleportation. Who knows. No real point for speculating right now, everything is still very early. Wonderful episode.
SwissCoda
Jesus Christ Sam, what the fuck is up with you? Like somethin' has clearly, really been bothering her - legitimately, and when she opens up to you you just laugh her off?? Especially right AFTER you put together there's real horror monsters out there? Mannnn. You owe her a apology big time.
James Rule
I mean, I'd hate to be in the position of trying to get people to believe me that Big Bird was an unstoppable spectral assassin for the government. She has my sympathy.
th3_m0rbs
Not Alice calling me out about my Corkboard.
Trisidael
I’M SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS EPISODE! TOTALLY NORMAL! NOT GETTING AN EXTRA LARGE AMOUNT OF RED STRING WITH WHICH TO FURTHER EXPAND MY CONSPIRACY BOARD AT ALL! NOPE! JUST HAVING A NORMAL ONE OVER HERE! 😀
Gareth Green
And she KNOWS.
LainyJP
I have to admit, I really did believe that Jack wasn't a real baby.
Grace 'Gengar' Soria
Cheaters you called us. CHEATERS. Anyway, I don't care. GEORGIE OMGOMGOMG. But Sam. Seriously. Dude. Sam. What the hell. Yeah it sounded funny, but fuckinghellsam at least let her finish!!
MarlaBothBothIsGood
MY GIRL MY GIRL IS BACK GEORGIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE though pls pls PLS don't make jokes about stealing faces In the same line..."lonely WORMS" ALICE PLEASE BEHAVE GOOOOOOD cyber-Jonah Magna delivers, what an statement
Gabi (Tao)
AU John who made all the wrongER choices. But yeah, even if it's not John, that felt a lot like an Archivist power at work.
Fer is against the homophobic vase
Am I over thinking stuff or is Gwen's voice a bit... Off?? Edit: I just finished the episode and now I get why her voice could be off...
Electra Tempest
Or a cigarette
Mar
I agree, but also Charles Entertainment Cheese has always freaked me out!
Valerie Kaplan
AHHHHH okay but in MAG 200 I interpret the line about still needing batteries for the nightlights to mean that Georgie and Melanie are now taking care of the Night Street kids (or their London-area equivalents) until parents/guardians can be tracked down, and now in this universe Georgie is babysitting! For a parent who keeps vanishing for eldritch reasons! It all tracks! *adds pushpins to corkboard*
Mark Spark
Dang Georgie, that's some interesting fears you have about being watched. Really interesting.
Erica
So so calm. I am so calm right now. Just very very calm.
The distortion
oh my god oh my god oghhg fjhjdn
grace
i’m freaking out
grace
GEORGIE BARKER MY BELOVED I MISSED YOU SO MUCH
Ashes
Meeting Georgie in the same episode as a statement about a corpse speaking? Not a coincidence surely
The Starlight Family
Alice 🤝 Sam in making jokes at the wrong time, but also I am very normal about someone being asked something to which they have to answer even after dead and then immediately going to lonely house full of fog… 👁🌫
Jesse Agins
There. Will. Be. Spiders. 🕸️
Audrey R
Wow, I wasn’t expecting Sam to be more obnoxious than Alice. Poor Gwen.
Gabriel V
I'm so calm about this, and I know so much happened, but just notice how Alice didn't laugh at Gwen when she was talking about it, she cares I swear AND MY DYHARD OBSESSION ONLY GROWS
A_Spooky_Nosh
OMFG !!!
SentientBogOrb
idk about mr khalid but I would believe chuck e cheese was a ruthless murderer working for the government immediately
Reynard Du Maurier
And so many cemeteries omg
mercury on the moon
i completely agree but tbf it’s like if someone set all that up and was like “so remember chuck e cheese…” sounds way more like a prank than genuine. hopefully sam will get his hands on a bonzo case somehow, but after this it doesn’t seem like gwen’s likely to show him…
Mice and Moonbeams
I'm sorry??? This episode!! The character interactions! The statement!! The breakdown! The BABY making cute baby noises and Ms Georgie!!!! Also I cheated I couldn't help it!
shmudkip
“some figure reaching… asking questions in an alley….” god forbid a guy wants a little snack!!
BuriedInTheArchives
Hoping and praying we get him back, sure he's doing awful things, but also Jon!
jo
ohhh gwen trying to confide in her coworkers only to be laughed away broke my HEART
Lisette
This is the best thing that ever happend to me
mora!
OH MY GODSDDDDDJSJSKAKK
DavidCoppAFeel

DamianJ

DavidCoppAFeel
Holy fuck I think your right
mayab

Voltz
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SentientBogOrb
Gwen deserves the bIGGEST apology from sam after that one holy shit, she was finally opening up and he laughs in her face like DUDE i though u WANTED to be a part of the HORRORS why aren’t you immediately taking this seriously ????
Emily Bauer
OH well that's interesting. That's so interesting. I am very calmly interested. HUH.
SentientBogOrb
i don’t recommend unless you work alone and won’t be judged for reacting to the plot in the episodes lol i listen to every new ep at work and have to reign in my excitement every time
Zoëjo
GEORGIEEEEEE!!!
J Burns
Right????
Mon221B
Seriously pondering whether I could get away with listening to this ep at work…waiting is too hard!
Erica
Ooooooh everyone's voice acting in this episode was SO good!
ethan
IT'S WORTH THE WAIT

JUMPS AROUND OH MY GODDD THE LAST SCENE
Charles H
You're right I did peak at the transcript
_C4L4M1TY_
Screaming rn thank u
Helena McCoy
I'm not looking at the transcript and I can only listen in like an hour and a half, this is taking every ounce of my willpower
Chloe
Ok but my Jonathan sims (the character) senses went crazy when they said “there’s a weird murderer who can kill you with your deepest fear and then make your corpse narrate it.” It sounds like Jon is feeding
George Humphreys
JONNY’S BACK WRITING!!😁😁 (love you too Alex dw)
Cyanmoon1
I have enjoyed all the episodes, but this was the first statement that gave me physical chills
J Burns
Okay adding on because I've finished the episode. What the FUCK. There was so much in this episode! Jonah Magnus voicing, another talking corpse, Gwen actually came out and told them about the 'externals', parallel Georgie.... This was Gertrude and Gerry levels of content, I loved it. My current theory is that these corpses are the TMA versions of people who died in the fearpocalypse transplanting their alternate selves somehow.
bruh really
Great episode once again
Anthony
it worked on me, after being accused of peeking i then stubbornly refused to 😅
Ellie J. B. R.
Whoooo! Georgie‘s here!!!
Anthony
GWEN…. AUGHHH my heart ;_; ugh.. Oh god it’s getting so hard to wait each week, I need to know!!!!!!!! There’s so much going on! Tim Fearon’s performance this ep was AMAZING, also. Augustus case readings are such a special treat.
raine
