Summary

In the harrowing conclusion of Chapter 2, Gwen shares what she’s learned with Brennen and Bryce. And Arlene has some very difficult questions to answer.

The script for this episode can be downloaded here.

As this is the end of this chapter, it’s time for you to send in your #AskTOAFN questions to be answered on the air in a couple weeks. You can submit your questions anytime before 11:59pm Eastern time on July 28, through Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr, or Patreon, either with a DM or by using the hashtag #AskTOAFN.

And if we hit our Patreon reach goal of $250/episode, that #AskTOAFN episode will become a live video hangout! We’re extremely close to that goal right now, so thanks a million to everyone who has pledged or told a friend about the show.

We’ll be taking our customary micro-break between chapters, but release dates for Book 2, Chapter 3 – entitled “Bridges” – will be announced in the near future. We have some cool bonus content lined up for you in the meantime.

CONTENT NOTES (including some unavoidable spoilers) below:

CONTENT NOTES:

We can’t really put a timestamp on this one unfortunately. Pretty much this entire episode centers around a character who is not straight in increasingly dire peril at the hands of law enforcement.

End of listed CONTENT NOTES.

air in a couple of weeks, just like we did the last time. As reminders, $5 and up patrons get priority,

0:32.7

and also nobody ask anything to spoilery or we won't answer it and we might make fun of you for not following basic instructions.

There's also going to be some kind of a random giveaway again for a few lucky question

Not sure yet if it's going to be books or download codes for the singing sister or something

1:00.3

like that, but it'll be something.

Also, this might, just might, be a live video hangout.

to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has pledged, especially

1:29.0

recently. The growth has been exponential since we set that reach goal, and we've seen new patrons

1:35.1

at every pledged tier, and it has meant just so much to us. And if the current growth continues,

1:40.9

we might just be over that hump by the time we record this Q&A. And remember,

1:46.3

no amount is too small for it to be helpful. So don't feel embarrassed if you can only give a little

bit anything you can spare means the world to us. And you get cool stuff for it, like episodes
