Hello hello! Team Bridge wanted to let you know that we are indeed still here, and that Episode 11 will hopefully exist...sometime in August. Life is a little hectic at the moment, but we're hard at work on getting the rest of season one out to all of you. Once we release Episode 11, we plan on taking another break, as we need a little extra time to work on some very special episodes. In the meantime, be on the lookout for an announcement about our merch shop opening, as well as (hopefully) our Patreon! If you're interested in A) a glimpse into Episode 10's cliffhanger's resolution or B) a slight spoiler for Episode 11, jump to the end of the recording. Thanks for being so awesome! Team Bridge

As the Watchtower 10 crew questions Frank's intentions, they're interrupted by an unexpected - and very dead - visitor. Roger and Kate play good-cop-bad-cop, while Etta and Bertie make a foreboding discovery.

The Watchtower crew investigates what brought their unexpected guest to their doorstep - and what he might've brought with him in the process. Roger borrows something, hearing an old voice and some new ones, too. Bertie tries to be assertive. Kate has her doubts about ventriloquism. Etta must choose between being scared and asking important questions.  And Persnickety Pete has something he'd like to say. This episode contains mentions of poison, blood, and possible death by fire. It also uses some disembodied whispering. Persnickety Pete's Message was composed and performed by Jake Hull. Some sound effects provided by Dead Signals, creators of the Archive 81 and The Deep Vault podcasts.
