Hey! Sorry that last episode is sans-Jake. We don't like it any more than you do. We're leaving it up because a lot of your already downloaded it and there might be some bits to pull out if you're really in to the show. Far be it from us to deprive you of entertainment. Anyway, we'll be back next week with our usual crew!
