I was SO STRESSED through all of that. But they did it! Thank goodness!!! Congrats to everyone involved in this, the acting was phenomenal
Mel Andrews
Me before this episode: Wow, Carter is the worst. Me afterwards: Carter is so relatable, poor baby.
Deneb
Had my heart in my throat the entire time when Zolf was talking to Wilde. When he grabbed him by the lapels? I thought that was IT baby
HazelnuttGem
Aw yay! Also, is anyone else wondering how Skraak got on with Mirk? ๐
Carolina Martins
i am crying i am screaming oh god
anna fleur
yes.
Anthony
Is it safe to say that every single one of us choked when Zolf grabbed Oscar by the lapels..........?
Sinclair Cross
I am genuinely impressed Zolf managed to get Wilde! Also, little Carter and Azu was beautiful! The metaphor of the unsolvable puzzle was also very cool! Overall, I loved everything. I can't wait for the next one! โค๐งก๐๐๐๐
Chekhov
I think this single episode has cleared away months of stress and made me laugh and almost cry. Incredible work by everyone!
TJ Hoffer
My gods, everyone continues to blow me away with how amazing they are with each and every episode. And ngl, this may be one of my all time favorite episodes because everyone did such a phenomenal job, and I just love seeing the character interactions, to see the relationships they've all formed - it's all so utterly lovely and fills my heart with joy. Also, Wilde, Carter, and Sasara (sp?) are far too relatable in their reasons for perhaps wanting to stay.
Marie
I was definitely yelling at Zolf to just tell Wilde that he likes him. And then 'You're such a dick'. LOL. I laughed the hysterical laugh of someone letting out two months worth of tension. This was a fantastic episode and I'm weirdly proud of all the characters for navigating their individual situations. Also Alex was great - he made it all just challenging enough that I was still worried they would fail but held the hope that they would bring them all back.

Argh my HEART!!!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Sophia Smithers
Oh god! From nearly in tears over Wilde asking Zolf to give him one reason to laughing at the holiday comment! Full-on snort-laughing at the two bears with four arms and swords to nearly crying again! Not even at Sasra yet! ๐ญ

yeah that sure is what relief from like two solid month's distress feels like. really great episode, great performances from everyone, thank you so much for this!
Rosy_Guava
I'm so happy. I really loved this episode and I really liked the conversation with Carter. \(^-^)/
CrazyChopstick
oooh what an episode ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ Gods the voice acting was just splendid, absolutely mesmerized by the whole episode ๐๐๐ And wow, so skillfully led by Alex, this is truly my favourite AP podcast ๐
Liz M
Ok, previous comment not enough. The cast were their usual amazing selves but Iโve got to single out Alex. The way you crafted and then guided them through the episode - and then to play three npc parts so beautifully. I felt each individual personality - you deserve much kudos. Well done
Glenntropy
I cried and I'm happy and I loved it and I have so so many feelings Also s/o to how unexpectedly touching Carter's scenes were, as a "gifted kid" who grew up with undiagnosed ADHD his scenes resonated so so much with me and I did not expect to have so many feelings about him but here we are
Liz M
Flipping heck
ThirdFromTheLeft
What a beautiful and wonderfully well acted episode.
Maia Montenegro
That sure was a series of emotions to have in such a limited amount of time! Everyone involved in this episode continues to amaze me. Just. Wow.
anna fleur
MY HEART MY HEART MY HEART!!!!!!
Piper Cooke
I am sobbing tears of joy, this was BRILLIANT, thank you all so much for this
Kirsti S
I'm so happy now, thank you for the unlimited supply of neurotransmitters
elizabeth p.
Thank you for this episode. i cried through most of it, but there were happy tears in there with the sad ones. And just to echo what sazandorable said above, this feels fulfilling and validating in a way that so few stories do, so thank you. <3 <3 <3
sAZAndorable
Okay, so to be clear the ENTIRE EPISODE was absolutely amazing and I got tears at least once every scene, and yall know fandom, yall know some of us have been shipping this, okay โ but seriously, once again: really, it's not ~just slash fangirls~, it's so much more than that. It's validating, it's hopeful, it's loving. I'm not even old yet but I am currently completely overwhelmed with old, tired, mentally ill, queer feelings and the prospect of being able to be that and to be happy. It's triumphant. This, like every single reveal of a character's queerness or queer relationship in this show or in Magnus, is making me feel real and alive and happy and loved. Thank you so much for this. Yall doing so much good.
Freya
I am emotional.
PlantPots
I just sat there silently screeching the whole episode
