Jon visits with (shock!) another friend, and shares with us the story of their encounter, including drinking mysterious substances, attempting to be led towards a true emotional experience, a volcano and a wheely lectern.
The episode describes the visit, after the visit we learn some more information about this group, their practices, beliefs and crimes.
Also, Jon doesn’t put his hand up properly, and maybe his wisdom tooth is healed now?
