Great designs over there from our friends at Tea Public and fans as well. Oncepodcast.com slash t-shirts. Let's start our discussion in the past, as we usually do. So the whole story of this

is kind of about the Count of Monte Cristo, although I'm glad we didn't really get his full story.

This first flashback does take place in the middle of the Count of Monte Cristo story.

Which would be his told story?

Yes, because this is before his story becomes untold.

But the story in the book is the told story, but it's kind of the book that contains the untold stories.

But did his story not end?

I guess Regina interrupted it.

You have discovered the whole.

Because I was really, I've said this before.

I'm willing to accept that these stories have all happened as we read them in literature and fairy tales and such.

But what the untold stories are are the sequels to everything, because this episode does mention sequels.
