Juni is dying to meet Hunter, Chad’s husband. Seems like it’s easy to be married to Hunter. He plays squash and makes bank. As far as awkward meetings go, where somebody ends up dead, this one’s #goals. Chad’s shadow, Beck, is now his best student, as Juni slowly hands over the reins of Home’s daily operation - and indoctrination - to her ex. She’s slightly jealous of Chad’s ability to mindshare with "our kids", - a talent Juni lacks. Pop’s passing brings Juni to a decision point. Is Chad ready to know the truth? Yes. Is Chad ready to know the whole truth?

Juni’s opening ceremony for Home’s Hibernal Gauntlet gives Beck occasion to turn her students against her. Ordinarily this might give a cult leader cause for alarm, but Juni’s hands are full right now and her mind is elsewhere. Alice ventures to Saw Creek seeking out her missing husbands, Chadwick and Hunter, but she finds only Juni waiting for her. With Alice’s fate hanging in the balance beneath the forest canopy, Chad struggles through the Gauntlet with only his wits to guide him.

Chad’s throwing his weight into training for the Hibernal Gauntlet - with zero help from anyone or anything, including the ginormous boulder he’s attempting to budge. Studying the Doctrine of Disruption answers as many questions as it also asks, as Chad finally learns what went down in Saw Creek - or at least the official version. When Chad unexpectedly stumbles upon the whole truth, will it make or break him? More to the point, will Juni allow him to ascend to The Wisdom Circle as advertised - or has he sealed his fate forever?

At Home, Chad minds fresh eggs. And he’s really bad at it. His breakage ratio might improve if he had clean sheets. Or a bed. Or socks. Or shoes. And definitely some band-aids would go a long way to adjusting his mood. At Home, Chad finds no allies among men. Klint, former all-star tormentor of Saw Creek High, is all-in on the communal farm they tend along with Beck, a kid on the spectrum - who doubles as Juni’s look-out.
