She is about to get "eaten" by one of them when a knock on the balcony window shakes her out of her waking nightmare. A dapper and dashing young man by the name of

In this Meet the Tinker interview, we talk to Keryl Brown Ahmed, the author of Big Ethel Energy on Webtoons who has also worked on a number of film productions. Keryl didn’t even like writing as a kid, and it took a math and science high school to get her to write a script and realize, hey, she liked it. We talk about how she overcomes self-doubt, and her work on the television show Blackish and the new movie Cheaper by the Dozen. Keryl was a huge Archie’s comic fan, so she was thrilled to get the

Will, looking haggard and tired, doesn't believe that Lauren was in a car crash. Luckily for him, the phone rings just at that moment. We switch to Lauren's home, where Kym and Will burst into Lauren's house and Kym aggressively hugs/punches Lauren. They sit down and Lauren tells them.... almost everything. She lies about her partner, telling them that he died in the explosion, though Kym suspects Kieran. They hear a commotion and go outside (with Lauren in pajamas ahem), where they hear the new

We flashback to Poppy trying valiantly to ignore Tora's suggestion and to find her own solution, but an attempt to enter her kitchen has her running in panic outside, and she realizes she has to choose "sanity over pride." Tora and Quincy come to help Poppy pack (well, Quincy is uh, overseeing), and while Poppy is touched by Tora's gentleness, she is still angry and shoots out another cutting comment. She takes

Umed takes the hint and leaves, not without some parting jibes that let us know he is *definitely* onto something. When alone, Charles tries to deflect attention and insists he is fine, but Sam doesn't let him get away with it. She calls him out on his fear, and Charles admits to it, telling her about its source.
