SALESA?????
Felica Ross
This episode was awesome. I cannot believe they played eye spy, I was dying! I can't wait to find out what is going on with Annabell and Salesa! I wonder if he was "touched" by all the fears too or something? I know in my gut Jon and Martin can't just chill in this "paradise" for the rest of the show but I can dream. Thanks for a wonderful episode!
Ellie Fogleman
😭 I love it I love it I love it. Jon & Martin deserve some sweet silliness. You guys are the best, thank you!!
Natalie Weingartz
Me, after the end of the episode, making sure I didn't accidentally click on one of the fluff episodes: I DON'T TRUST THIS
Amélia Brouillard
It's more likely than you think!
james
they are sleepy!
Mantha Grant
IT'S SO NICE TO HEAR HIS VOICE, HE SOUNDS SO GOOD!!!! THAT ENDING!!! WHAT
Heather MacKenzie
I was so nice hearing Jon and Martin having a moment. A bit of levity in that world. Also, was I the only one who had visions of Martin's mom during Jon's statement? Like, had Martin not been with him, this could've been his destiny?
Aine Morgan
So lovely to see Jon being a bit more human for a minute! Having a laugh with Martin, being excited 😊
Jess Nicolazzo
Amazing episode!!! So well written and executed!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Also absolutely love when martins like “this seems pretty calm!” DO NOT SAY THAT WHILE YOU ARE WALKING A NEVERENDING HELLSCAPE! 🤣
ledgem
that ending. woah. can't wait to see what Salesa has up his sleeve!
Finn Patrick
10/10 episode thanks lads
Lurkin
Oh my gosh! What a rollercoaster...
therese Amtrup
Duuuuude
Kara Moskowitz
So, the boys passed out on the floor because they were extra tired? OK. I hope they get some sleep, food and a bath. In fact, maybe the next episode can be called "Sleep, food, and a bath." Not quite sure how you'd turn that into a terror filled motif, though.
Catherine Hills
I was on edge for most of this ep and every moment of it was INCREDIBLE
james evelyn
ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE THE LAST JAW DROPPING PLOT TWIST
Laura Bailey
So excited for next week but also the first five minutes of this episode watered my crops and cleared my skin. Eulogy feels a bit too real, but I suppose that’s a good thing.
Gilligan Mungus
Amen to the way too real for us lapsed religious with parental issues types. I see you and please know we’re squirming in the pew at church together, friend.
martin kachow blackwood
oh my god. the feeling of giving a eulogy you don't mean to a teary-eyed church congregation, with the corpse biting into you... that is a WAY too real fear for us lapsed christian/catholics with parental issues. (even though it involves zombies.) these statements just keep hitting. anyways... awwwwwwww, have sweet sleeps before your horrible doom, happy giggly jmart!! if i were annabelle i would use my webby spider powers to crochet them a blankie. let them have a little nap-nap... you know, before all the horrible doom and everything. excited to Solve That Mystery >:)
Charlotte Felix
AAAAHHHH
Alexandra DeCarlo
"I spy with my little eye... literally everything" XD The beginning of this episode is really cute. And the statement started out mild and got progressively more horrifying. It was great. Did not expect that ending.
Error
Wow, what in the world!! Ha, wild. And so much cute in this episode
Samantha Jay
The beginning of the episode was deceptively kind, so I knew it wouldn’t end that way. But boy was I surprised with the actual ending- Jonny Sims, you’ve done it again. Damnit.
Simone
Hey, this is very lacking in proper trigger warnings. Theres lots of knives and cuts and scars that arent documented
pocketCetologist
Same. S a m e.
Hayley Phoenix
*Actually shrieking*
pocketCetologist
The beginning of this episode was so adorable, now I'm just convinced something terrible is going to happen in the following episodes. The ending was absolutely thrilling though. Left me in the edge of my seat. Can't wait for the next episode. So many mysteries!
Lilmouse
EXCELLENT EPISODE (the mystery!!! =)
E C Marlowe
So, a rich and well-connected person riding out the apocalypse safely from his country house, huh? Can't see any real-world relevance there at all. 🤔 Fantastic episode. I'm glad Jon and Martin got to have a little fun, not to mention sleep and food and a bath. Because I'm sure everything's about to get even worse.
Kate
HOLY SHIT .... that is all
Another_Maxx
I love the ending but it makes me fear something bad is going to happen. I also wanted to point out Mikaele did say "We have all the time in the world." which was the last thing Dr. David said in 177.
Rebecca Rain
So like... I guess its a spot that isnt affected by the apocalypse so everything that was keeping them healthy, awake, not hungry, is all gone. Which is so interesting! Also like, does this make it a web domain or something entirely different? How exciting! I cant wait to find out!
Kat
I'm freaking out! Blind spots, a stop over, rising from the "dead" in more ways than one, and the ending! What has this kind of effect? In the middle of the fear apocalypse! This episode is incredible and I'm losing my mind!
JC
I can't believe that TMA tapped in my very specific fear of Being Expected To Say Nice Things At Funerals. also, the ending. holy shit! holy shit!
Issendai
AAAAAAAAAAAUGH (Also: OMG Jon and Martin giggling!) But seriously. Jonny. JONNY. Can you be a little less evil? Just once? As a treat?
Gilligan Mungus
Uh what?!? What even just happened??? How does Jonny do this? I just....wow. Also, that funeral - oof. I’ve had enough death in my life that the funeral with the hypocrisy and hungry for grief mourners and having to spew false kindness while the bile rises in your throat - it totally hit me where I live. Then the oasis with Annabelle and Mikaele? I KNEW he didn’t die. But what the heck is he???
Of Winter
I say this in the most positive way possible,
Of Winter
Bro, the fuck?
charlie!
yknow for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to eat a kiwi while listening to this
avem
martin and jon laughing cleared my skin and watered my crops..
thecrowsoundtrack
The THRILL of the archivist NOT KNOWING!!!!!!!! Oh my God I' m so excited! And that statement, I love that eerie gothic imagery, the Catholic theme really drove the terror in. Even with that ghoulish zombie laugh (LOVED THAT) I'm glad Jon and Martin were able to get a light moment in. And the end had me YELLING what on EARTH is going to happen????? I'm so, so excited.
Aydenburd
tfw when you've been all excited for your big explainer monologue but your audience passes out 😔
Bruna G
please share
Laure Gagnon-Tremblay
This was one of the best!!!!
Moonwatcher13
I don't know what I was expecting but it sure as shit wasn't that.
Bruna G
Omg the ending had me so f***ing tense gee
Deneb
what's going OOOOON
luvkirby4ever
Okay but seriously that ending 👌👌👌
Arcturus
I mean this with all the love in my heart but it's NEVER been more obvious the writer has a Catholic background. As someone raised nominally Jewish this statement was unintentionally hilarious.
luvkirby4ever
YOOOOOOOO
Murdo Homewood
UM???? HELLO?
Mark Sutton
The first few minutes of this are going to make the JonMartin fans on Tumblr explode tomorrow, and then the ending will get the rest of us. Nice job.
Eituoe
"After 179, 180 will be nice and easy" A FOOL I WAS, A FOOL
HazelnuttGem
😮😮😮
GriffinsTreehouse
That was brilliant! The pre-statement was adorable, the statement itself sent a delightful chill down my spine and the ending... H U H???
Megan S.
I am simply going to Yell this was such a good episode
Ghost
This was so good! I was not expecting the ending there. Definitely one of my favorites this season
Roggepan
I have been. Caught off guard
Jennyclart
oh its getting spicy now!
Megan S.
Heads up that this might need an extra warning for scarring!
Milan Nigam
Well this I was not expecting! Wtf?
Rowan Hannigan
absolutely thrilled by this ep's development and writing but can you add more specific warnings for the child abuse for the main release? and potentially christian religious abuse? it doesnt feel like just a mention because the description of what was done is actually quite graphic
K. C. Millheiser
What...was that? That...went better? than I was expecting? MAYbe?
ray brantley
Oh my god. OH MY GOD, I did NOT see that coming and I love it
Caligula
literally what the HELL just happened
Isabelle
no thoughts only jm being cute
Brian Taulbee
Wow. The Necropolis seemed almost...pleasant at first (in a grim way), but that funeral home! YEEEEESH! AND OMG THE MYSTERY AT THE END!!!
sAZAndorable
LOVE HIM ALREADY (ALREADY LOVED HIM BUT LOVE HIM EVEN MORE!)
sAZAndorable
OH MY GOD! HIM!! OHHHH MY GOD
Owleics
I love this episode so much! It's definitely my favourite of this season so far! Jmart having fun in the necropolis playing i spy and laughing, martin letting jon go see the house, jon being so damn excited over not knowing something for once and getting to actually explore another mystery! I'm glad the boys are gonna have some r&r now!! Very exciting, thanks for the awesome ep!!
Adam Honeyman
This episode has me grinning!!
James White
I’m already in love with Salesa and these adorable Jon and Martin moments.
Sinclair Cross
"I spy...EVERYTHING." *cue adorable Martin laughter* ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
PaganPrince

Maddie B
You folks really outdid yourselves this time!! Amazing in all directions!
LainyJP
This was fantastic in every possible way!! Playful joking, classic horror statement, necropolis, and ANNABELLE CANE!?!? Everything my heart desires from this series just happened. My. Favorite. Episode.
Harley_treefrog
I can barley even remember the statement. Just amazing boys and shock and a mystery!!!
Isabelle

ThirdFromTheLeft
