Second half of spring semester.

Episode 11, “Whips and Regret”... Well, isn’t that a cheesy title? Either way, this episode proved to be much better than last week's episode. Jacob, as a character, is thriving. I know it’s sort of sick to say, but I think that killing Paul was the best thing that could have happened to him. ...
