## Resource

This week, Scott and Matt reach the penultimate episode of Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong's The Midnight Club : "The Eternal Enemy." Spence finds his community and channels the experience into a story of time travel, fear and love that mostly works. Meanwhile, Ilonka has a rough day and takes it out on everyone before once again seeking comfort in the mysterious Shasta. This goes about as well as you'd expect.
