Okay, but the way we go from very emotive reading to computer voice is chilling

Trisidael

J Burns

Unacceptable. Give me the rest of the season immediately.

Martins Teakettle

Icarus

Gabidoesstuff

OH MY GOD WAITING FOR NEW EPISODES IS TORTURE

Martins Teakettle

Istg, the way i punched my car seat cuz screaming in a car with open windows in town is not the best idea

Betty

So is there some sort of “Spooky Bluetooth” version of this that transmits questions to those compelled to give a statement?

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

"I might have come across a few important names" AAAAAAHHHHH OMGOMGOMG

Cyanmoon1

Ohhhh this statement made my hairs stand up

Anthony&

Never in my life did I think Lena would have me in a chokehold as tight as Jonah Magnus but it has HAPPENED😫😫😫 I can physically *feel* Gwen about to make another stupid choice… of COURSE Mrs. Kelley :)

isaac

oh my god??????

Anthony&

there’s so much more to chew on i’m going to die. angry boy sam. my poor little meow meow alice. that CASE, the *soundtrack.* ugh ugh ugh. time to listen 50 more times in a row.👁️

RedDedZombie

Sam: “…wasn’t he in a band?”

Onion

What if this a cry for help from the voices inside Freddie? Especially with the "outburst" at the end of the case and Alice's question to them last week.

Betty

CHARACTER MENTIONS 🚨🚨🚨🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨🚨🚨

_C4L4M1TY_

Jonny istg I'm about to cry rn

Honey Coffee

The scariest thing is the experiment has been done and it is as if there are two different beings occupying the same body after the two halves of the brain have been disconnected. Just that one of them cannot speak. Chilling

Cyanmoon1

I yeeted my entire phone and nearly broke my glasses. The gesticulating I gesticulote hgdfhhkljh

Sydnamon

Jonny how COULD YOU END WITH THAT

VMW

gonna be sick Jonny. Jonny. *why*

Mon221B

Ahhh dropping those names and then just ending?! Y'all are trying your best to kill me!

Lisette

I. Am. So. Excited!!!!!!

Sydnamon

Jonny is probably sitting back and laughing at us losing it right now

Fae

Super normal about this episode

Sonia Melnyk

OH MY GOOOOD! Celia knows! 👻❤️‍🔥

Vex Harper

NEARLY CHOKED ON MY SOUP THANKS

HeavenlyBibi

It definitely gives that impression, that Freddy and JMJ are crying out to Sam cause he’s the only one who is listening In a way, they are screaming into a void hoping that someone is listening to them

John Curry

Literally got chills when Jonnys name was mentioned

RedDedZombie

Alternatively... "isn't that the guy who plays the narrator in Slay The Princess?"

Mother of Ferrets

Argh! Names!!!!! I literally squeeed to myself whilst listening!!!

ShinyPenUnlimited

This episode was incredible Got the chills man Figures that this is a Jonny one

Mother of Ferrets

Alex too... don't forget he is evil enemy I'd we do respect his craft!

Ian

Wellp, I just felt the last few functional sanities in my head exit the building, I am now frothing at the mouth and incapable of waiting a week LOL! Superb episode.

astro

audibly gasped out loud in the grocery store 😭

ShinyPenUnlimited

In this world Jon is actually just Jonny, the voice actor

HemiDemi

It has the same vibe as "no more exploring the tunnels" "help, I'm lost in the tunnels" and I can't wait to see what she does

AK

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

HemiDemi

First: Lena is just outwardly frightening and I love that for her. Gwen seems like she's going to do something dumb and I cannot wait. The letter kicked ass. Very creepy, great buildup, just the kind of subtle horror I love from these series. Alice being protective is really cute (in a not-healthy sort of way) And finally how fucking dare you Jonny, how am I supposed to be normal for another week.

ara

help! 🗣help! 🗣 we! 👯‍♀️out! 🕺 out! 🕺we! 👯‍♀️ out! out! out! out! 🗣🗣👯‍♀️🗣

Sydnamon

At least it wasn’t the quiet floor of a public library

Violet

ha ha... is there a Mrs Mrs Kelley? 😏

Ember

Ahhhhhh that's where it ends??

Jacks

🤯

PyratePigeon

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zoëjo

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GODDDD I MISSED THOSE NAMES SO MUCH 😭😭😭

Zoëjo

I NEARLY SCREAMED but immediately remembered I'm still on a public bus 😅

iceriel

Ohmyohmy NAMES HAVE BEEN MADE 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Kaurakahvi

With all due respect. HOKAY HOLY SHGHGHFJRJ. WHAT

KilaNova

hi i’m feral please help

Hannah Burt

Really glad I decided to wait until after work to listen to this. The scream I just let out at the end would have gotten me in trouble. How am I supposed to wait a week??

CreepyButAlsoSomtimesSoft

NAME DROP! NAME DROP!!! *coughs* okay now that's out of my system. I am so curious as to what Alice's deal is! And what is going on with Celia!

Reynard Du Maurier

Welp….I’ve been through the Archives 1,5 times already, but THIS one got me straight out shaking. Good job✨✨✨

Ace

That name drop I CANT STOP PLAYING WITH MY FEELINFS

ThenForgotten

Aaaaaahhhhhh diskcjwjqksjc !!!!!

LainyJP

The "statement" gave me chills! Like.. wow! I feel like this is very ominous and may provide some insight about why this universe may be susceptible to the rift. So good.

Apofisu

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Hayley

Holy shit this episode was everything 🤩 What a cliff hanger!

Kate McKiernan

Fun facts: Hans Berger invented the EEG while attempting to find an explanation for telepathy. Everything before his dream about his work seems consistent with a quick review of the history, including the participant with the skull deformity and the equipment he worked with. Also, he was a Nazi.

Taylor Tillman-Tess

(imagine me shaking you violently by your shirt collar while you read this) hey what was that??? what was that ??? HEY what THE FUCK WAS THAT????

Sorvelle

I knew this would be a wild episode when I saw 50+ comments after barely an hour 😂

mercury on the moon

OH FUCK. FUCKING HELL. that case has probably been the scariest/my favorite yet. i love the build up of the horror the audience feels at the nature of the experimentation treated as normal to the horror the letter writer feels at the results. and the voice acting was fantastic across the board, especially for gwen and augustus

Voltz

THE LAST LINE TF

The *suspiciously* woman-shaped Pharmacist

First with Gwen and now with Alice... Sam seems to have a terminal case of Main Character Syndrome. Like, he wants everyone else to know about the things he's going through, but won't listen when people tell him about what they've seen. Alice basically admitted to him he was right about the Institute and he didn't even seem to pay attention, not with that dogged Sam-ness we've seen from him in earlier episodes.

mercury on the moon

case spoilers . . . . . . . . . having no means of communication or expression is one of my greatest fears, i think. to be utterly trapped. i rely a lot on my body to feel, understand, regulate, and process my emotions, so it would be unimaginably distressing to lose that connection yet still exist as a consciousness

Jonathan C Bell

HDJHFFHFJ I CANNOT CONSTRUCT A THOUGHT THAT ISN'T JUST 'AAAAA'

Julia Diem

I was yelling at my car radio on my drive home. You evil geniuses, you!

Jeanne Doré

Not the audio glitch when Sam says “I can look after myself” 😂

Ro is Reading

Tim Fearon’s voice acting has me on the floor screaming as always

anveysha_rk

THIS IS SO ME MY JAW WAS HANGING OPEN

Nawal Fisher

I can’t make words 😱😱😱😱

Rachael Thorne

I just heard the last line of the episode, it’s 3.17am and everyone else in the house is in bed. I’m now chewing my fists trying not to scream!

Zoëjo

I have re-listened to those last 30 seconds maybe 5 times now because IM SO EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE BOYS AGAIN 😭😭

Tenacious T

Question: For as long as Alice has worked for the OIAR, did the death that Sam helped her through happen before or after she started working there? Also, if Alice had been working there 4 years before Sam & Celia started, it seems unlikely that she wouldn't run into things like The Deep until recently. What IS she getting out of her position?

Zoëjo

And at the same time, the protocol is magnusing!!!

Belle

AHHHHHHHHH

Diana Zandate

The second she said their names!!! My heart!!!!!!

Sunkissedbeetle

that bit where Sam asks Alice why she's still working at the archive felt sooo much like the scene w/ Jon and Martin at the end of season 1 - a ghost!

David Pierce

Literal chills, while screaming at the stereo

virgo herzog

Thanks RQ! Chef’s kiss! The sound/music in this one is incredible!

Lindsey Anderson

Imagine they had gone into the hiatus with that ending lol. I loved the voice acting in the statement part of the episode.

Jake Fallows

I'm so glad my roommate isn't home, because I would have scared him with how loud I yelled at the end

Page Chase

Screaming, crying, throwing up

NoyneKehmaya

fuel for my theory, thank you!!

Space Modulator

I just squeed so hard I choked and my wife panicked and ran over to help me.

Thorn

This was one of the best cases so far. Absolute creepshow

Local_Lavender

I loved this case! One of the creepiest for me so far, gave me chills, I loved it. Also, almost screamed at the least line, I can't wait to see where this is going👀

Gareth Green

WHAAAAAA!!!!! THEY DID NOT!!!

Pippa

I went from sobbing buckets to scaling the walls with this one, what a mood swing 😶 Stellar work as always, gang! Our boys are officially BACK, LET'S GOOOO

David Pierce

I need next week!!!!! Now!!!!!

Carleigh Warsing

It's 1am and the GASP I just let out was beyond disruptive... gonna excuse myself now...

Carleigh Warsing

Horrible horrible HORRIBLE week to finally catch up, fast forward to next week NOW PLEASE!!!

Emmy

WHO

Mini Moka

When I catch you jonny and Alex 😭💖 yall are absolute menaces

Gareth Green

In other news, “Augustus” seems to be crying for help.

Gareth Green

LONG before. When they were in college.

Gareth Green

Note: there was no glitch when Alice said nice things about Celia. Of course, there’s NEVER a glitch when Alice pulls people’s legs, so to speak.

Manda Egbert 📼👁️

omg.. lucky I’m behind and don’t have to wait to hear the next ep. my heart can hardly keep up, I missed those names so much :,)

Christina Gordon

Relistening to the first series and loving it even more.

Rurrie

Who??

Rurrie

ok but seriously has Lena ever done field work??? Seems like she expected Gwen to just die.
