Summary
WELCOME BACK, REFINER! It's time to re-open "Chikhai Bardo'!
Mark is still unconscious. Other than him being a slug on the sad couch, there is a LOT happening in this episode! We're flashing back...and then forward...then back again. This time out we're going to witness the blooming love affair between Mark Scout and the woman we onliy know as 'Gemma.' We get to MEET Gemma!
We're going to hang out on the testing floor. We'll have dinner with Devon and Ricken back before Ricken was so weird.
We've got tons of set dec, some random trivia about Mt. Everest and...watchers!
What are you waiting for, Refiner?? Open the file called "Chikhai Bardo-PT02"!!
