As the government strikes against the disciples of the Paraclete's Gulch, Faulkner seeks refuge and an untraceable hiding place at his old childhood home in the Whisper Plains - but he is not alone there.
This episode contains some distressing scenes and depictions of early-onset dementia and PTSD, loud noises, repeated allusions to childhood abuse, attempted suicide, and one short reference to accidental deadnaming (which does not occur).
This episode features B. Narr, H.R. Owen, Steve Shell, and Aud Andrews, with additional voices from Shaun Pellington, Sophie Lynch, Marlon Dance-Hooi and Rissa Montanez.
