Heaven’s Gate is tough to discuss because it blends absurdity (yay!) with tragedy (boo). This week’s episode is a bit more subdued than a typical Fake Believe sesh, but Stacie still manages to get a pun or two in as she offers a rundown of the beginning and end of this UFO Cult. Although tragic, the website is a bit more light-hearted in its chaos, and Rachel unravels a few of the neon pastel threads that weave the story of its creation and maintenance.
