The party's in full swing for the counselors, and some people are indulging a little more than others! Absolutely nothing is better than period-appropriate tunes, kicking back for a few drinks with your new pals, and just vibing. Just make sure you catch the beers when they're tossed to you; otherwise, it's alcohol abuse!

There's still another week before the camp opens properly, so all of the counselors are getting there early to help set everything up and get to know one another!

With the story finished for now (by the time you actually hear this we'll have already recorded at least a couple of episodes for season 2), we look back over this last season and talk about thoughts for the future, what made us laugh, what made us want to tear our hair out, and a whole bunch of other nonsense relating to what we just did. Enjoy, and have a lovely Winter Holiday from John, Harm, Obie, Ru, Ames, Roy, Steve, PJ, and Jake!

A dire start to things leaves the cast-mates imperiled, but even if they end up getting out of their current situation, they're still in custody, right? What kind of chicanery could possibly happen to save them from their current situation? It'd be pretty stupid for us to tell you here, honestly, so maybe just check out what happens in the episode instead!

The cast-mates have found themselves in Lopani custody for a variety of reasons, but you know what? They're going to make the best of it and comply with whatever they're told to do, that's what! Surely, one of them won't get naked and shout demands at anyone, that would be ridiculous and also is something that absolutely happens within this episode.
