Please note: This episode contains a retelling of a traumatic sexual experience. It is not especially graphic, but if you would rather not hear it, skip from 13:32 to 15:38. As the party sorts through the carnage from last night’s skirmish with the mercenaries, Ardel’s political maneuvering forces Arlene to confront a horrible secret from her past. This week returns us to our regular programming schedule. Our next episode will be released on February 2.
