Favorite Moment: The reveal at the end.

General Thoughts:

Oh man, the sad Scam Likely hold music. Forgot about that one.

So, the way I've been doing these is that I start these drafts and then leave my draft open while I'm listening. I'll occasionally pause the episode when something hilarious, thought-provoking, or something I forgot about pops up, I'll type it into my notes and then resume the episode.

I took almost no notes on this episode because I was just enjoying the re-listen. It was hard to turn my brain on for analyzing. So, I only typed up the bit about the Scam Likely hold music at the beginning. Because when I do a lot of my re-listens, I skip the intros and table talk to get right into the episode, so I've forgotten a lot of these intros and dad facts.

This is one of those episodes that is just so engrossing for me. The plan is put into motion. And it succeeds. And the best part - it succeeds with a twist.

Grant was able to keep the orb, getting all the kids back to the van, Doug was able to pilot the drone, and the dads "successfully" communicated with the purple robes to make it out to the bridge. These are some of the moments that make players feel awesome and powerful. When a plan goes well and they're rolling great.

But then Anthony throws in this great reveal. The bad dudes? Yeah, the ones that have been annoying them and telling them they're bad dads? Turns out, they're their fathers. My mind was blown on my first listen. Definitely one of those moments, where I verbalized my "whhaaaaa????" that usually just happens in my head. It doesn't matter how many times I listen to it - this reveal is so cool to me. I've listened to the last 10 minutes of this episode probably 20-30 times (and I've only been listening since January).
