Did you know that Darby knows Morse Code? This allows her to communicate with her lamp. I love lamp... and so does Darby, especially when it might be haunted by Bill.
Sian (pronounced SHON... or is it?) sees the end coming. Is it simply the side effects of too much salty licorice? We won't find out until next week... or the next.

Sian and Darby go snowmobiling and discuss the value of having learned Morse code (again). We find out what a Zodiac is. We get too much information dumped on us regarding the attendance of the summit. Luckily the flashback story (and especially the romance between Bill and Darby) is still compelling.

After some discussion around why Suits (and other old-school procedurals) are so popular on streamers, currently, Sona and I discuss the solid (but slightly disappointing) start to the new season of Only Murders, featuring the biggest guest stars, yet.
I also recommend another comedy mystery, The Afterparty, on AppleTV+.

Bluey isn't just for kids. We talk about this miracle of a show that got us parents through the pandemic (and beyond). Do yourself a favor if you haven't watched this, yet.
You won't be sorry.
