I would like to thank everyone that notified me that Episode 20 was cut off at the beginning. And by that, I mean no one. I was trying to fix it, but it's recoverable since I never export my audio before editing. Lesson learned. Either way, this episode was jam-packed with a ton of news, so we had to cut down a lot. Let's jump in.
