In this Season Finale, the existing high caprine drama collides with the imagination and practical skills of a little brother on the move.
Will all the rising action be wrapped up? No, listeners, we are still in the middle of our saga, but this double episode will settle some questions and hopefully, leave you in bleeting eagerness for Season Two.
It's a long one! Double length, listen as you please at your own pace. Thanks for being our listeners.
