The Problem
Caitlin and Alan visit Inspector Barnes house, and get schooled in English poetry. Lucy dishes about Lockwood to her bestie- Skull. Barnes warns the agency to follow the rules or end up like Bunchurch. George presents his evidence for how The Problem started to the rest of the company.
Caitlin and Alan try our skills on the trapeze- and mostly successfully land! La Belle Dame is finally trapped while we talk horror tropes, how emotionally well-balanced characters are boring, and if this ghost matters to the plot of the book.
Caitlin and Alan go to the graveyard. We found the titular Empty Grave! Take a burning car ride towards inevitable death and then grab a cup of ectoplasm. Lockwood shares the resting place of his family, Skull shares the meaning of the afterlife, and we discuss George’s autism.
