I LOVE how Jonny contrasted Martin saying "I see you" in this episode to be saved; to "I see you" being Sasha's final words back in season 1

my little gay heart,,, full
Sigurd
Absolutely incredible payoff on things that feel like they've been leading to this point for years. Illuminating and satisfying. I can't imagine how the season finale could outdo this one and I'm scared to find out.
JA Baldwin
Thanks to this episode, I now better understand how the Lonely functions. Fantastic work, as always!
Heather MacKenzie
This was an amazing episode. And knowing what is probably going to happen in the finale, I was hoping this moment would at least happen.
Lottie Lynn
This episode made me believe in love.
Briar
What a fantastic episode!
rinthehalfling
This is so good, I can not wait to see now the finale destroys me!
fatal_drum
Y'all really out there trying to kill us all.
danny
oh man oh yeah I have listened to this five times thanks for making the best thing 2 ever grace my ears and also for my life
Mammon
Sound design was brilliant yet again
Mark Sutton
It is so pleasurable to hear Peter Lukas, a textbook bully, get bullied into not just telling his story but also forced to retreat/ be beaten/get killed. He's been such an emotional abuser that every time he opened his mouth my skin started crawling. That said, I don't trust this "happy" ending is actually happy for one second and will now start psychologically preparing for the severe trauma of the season finale.
Isabelle
Everything about this episode was so wonderful! I could fall in love with the sound design and editing along... Created the perfect atmosphere. And the ACTING. Alex’s was so hauntingly beautiful and painful. Still terrified for the *implications* but it actually felt so validating in many respects!
Mark Spark
This was amazing?? I love this so much, and holy shit Alex magnificent sound-scaping AND acting. everyone was amazing. I know next week's episode is gonna reach in and rip my heart out, but I'm gonna live in this nice little zone of victory until Halloween
Paulina Stefańska
I've been emotionally destroyed, thank you
Heather Nichols
This was a lovely episode. Next week is going to hurt so much isn’t it.
Sara Williams
Oh my heart!
Meg Taylor
Beautiful work by Alasdair, as always. I'm said we (probably) won't hear more from him, but I am pleased by how the episode went.
Alex
oh also, red salute to the line "from what I understand, severing the connection to your humanity is the cornerstone of an upper class education" :)

This was such a beautiful ep and joyful to listen to, honey to my ears, wah, the soundscaping and effects! I've deeply enjoyed Peter's character from his first appearance and this was deeply satisfying. Such great points that I'm so happy to see get addressed, at the beginning (even from, yknow, him). Also, The Audible Hug. Phenomenal job on this one, huge fave, already relistened and my crops are thriving.
neongrey
oh no oh no oh no it's all going to go wrong oh no just let these sweet boys hug or maybe kiss but they both need hugs so much
Jared Clark Levin
fantastic episode...I worry I’d succumb to the lonely in this world...would’ve probably been more than happy to ship out on the tundra...
elizabeth p.
Holy crispity crap, this was AMAZING!! Everything from the soundscaping to the writing to the performances was just stellar. I’m gonna be relistening to this one again and again and again
Gilligan Mungus
I loved this but it also scares the bejeezus out of me because we have one episode left this season. This is the calm before the storm, for sure. Also Alasdair Stuart gave a bravura performance. Just wow.
Alex
The way Gertrude came up with to defeat Lukas' ritual is great (and some real J.G. Ballard's High Rise vibes from that setup he designed). Also I'm not sure how to deal with *not* having my heart ripped out by a TMA episode for once.
Roo Jones
WELL, SO AM I!
3EyedMavens
THANK YOU!!! Also I have no idea how you guys keep completely taking me (us) offguard but..bravo. Now to just wait for every organ in my body cavity to relax and go back to where it was actually supposed to be located.
Laurel Adams
New Activity: explaining to your boss why you only cry at work on Wednesdays around exactly the same time. God this one was so so so good!!!

Love it! And they just lived happily ever after? Right? Right?
Avery Breakell Demick
I'm just going to stand here in the corner of the office screaming to myself and hope no interest notices... Also, good grief, Alex!
Lauren Prince
I just smashed my elbow into a door, threw a pen against the floor, and had to stop everything I was doing I was so scared of those last moments Bless everything about this episode
Sarah Becan
THIS WAS AMAZING. My heart has exploded.
