15. Intergalactic Telephone

Henry and Viktorya's new "friend" claims that he can help them find Kala. Henry is calling her from across the void, but he's only another whisper to a lonely child in a crowded grave. Later, Beks gives herself KIDNEY points for not breaking up the found family. She and Debbie discuss how to (and how not to) find a family, and a significant difference in how they each approach storytelling. Extra on Patreon: What if this wasn't Viktorya's first found family? Who else has she left behind?

14. Time Heals All Wounds

Henry and Viktorya are locked in a room, guarded by a gloating Clive, and time is running out around and inside them. Even if (okay, when) they escape, they still have all of time, and every world, to search for their lost little girl. Later, Debbie and Beks have their romance masterclass, exploring compatibility, love languages and (crucially) when high-fives were invented.

13. The End of the World(s)

Wolf’s machine is gaining momentum, bringing Fractures from across worlds and times to fuel him. Kala is gathering herself to try to stop him, but she’s only one small girl against a Wolf and his army. Later, Beks and Debbie discuss the challenges of writing climaxes, the role of control in evil, and seeing talent in your work. If you want a spot of ridiculousness in your life, don't forget to head to Patreon for a taste of Beks' story featuring mad-hatter-inspired, clueless cousin, fake evil wizard named Steve, pirates and evil fairies story that she wrote when she was sixteen but thinks still holds up.

12. The Little Girl and the Big Bad Wolf

Kala is trapped with Wolf and his fractures, struggling to come up with reasons why she shouldn’t take him to her time-rich world. Why care about anyone else, when they don’t care about her?  Later, Debbie and Beks discuss writing (and living) complex arcs, and fight imposter syndrome with a little common sense. Don’t forget to join our Patreon for Debbie’s “timey-wimey Remembrance stuff” theory about where Kala REALLY took Wolf. And comment your vigil to all those long-distance friends. We love you from afar, and will call you one day, I’m sure. <3
