Episode Seven: It's DLC Baby!! (You Mattered To Me First)
Hosts Indrani and Navaar talk about episode seven, a classic pull from the DLC "Left Behind". We talk about our love of the performances, and Storm Reid's casting, the weird crunch the show seems to be getting into, and the way that the events of this episode mirror a lot of Ellie's journey.
