Hello, this is Arden co-creator Christopher Dole. I want to start this off by thanking all of you who

0:07.2

have reached out to inquire what is going on with episode 212. I sincerely apologize to everyone

0:14.2

and am here to offer an explanation and something else which will hopefully tied things over

0:20.7

until the episode can be properly re-released.

0:24.4

First, the explanation.

0:27.0

For the time being, we have run afoul of the same thing which has prevented our beloved inspiration moonlighting from ever being officially released on DVD or streaming, music rights.

0:40.1

When we first released the episode in 2020, there was a particular piece of music we licensed

0:46.0

for a closing montage. We are currently in the process of re-upping the rights to that piece

0:52.3

and expected should be back sooner rather than later.

Elsinor, in which Beaacacely confirms that three people died in the Hamill Hills Ranch Fire,

1:38.3

but one of the survivors was Dana Hamill. Dana, however, is comatose and unresponsive, and it is considered unlikely she will ever wake up.

1:50.9

We then cut to the main action of the episode, where we follow Pamela's old professor

1:57.2

Rowan Debrowski, who was auditing the actions Wayface Radio undertook while in

2:02.5

Elsinore to see if they can release a town called Elsinor. We first hear him meeting with Jake

2:08.5

Wonder's fiancé Jill, and we learn that one of the casualties of the fire was Jake. Jill is confused about why Arden was there at the scene and wonders if they kept insinuating

2:23.4

themselves where they shouldn't have.
