Victor and Darren break down the latest episode of Paradise. There are only 2 episodes to go and the plot continues to accelerate. Presley should have turned down that ice cream date.

We do see the same spirits inhabiting new forms (and some of the same forms) in this new season. A very recognizable and attractive cast are in tow to match the beautiful locale.

Everyone is alienated and alone at Lumon, whether is be an absent Cobel, probably sleeping in her car, or the MDR team who no longer trust each other. Even Milchick has no one to turn to after his negative performance review. Mark is making good progress on that file, though. Victor an Sona break it all down.
