The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight, but first our scoundrels slide through an interdimensional-non-euclidean-time-rip.

Children are the future. Unfortunately in this episode, Heike and Soil decide against having one, Castor ruins a birthday party, Velvet kills one to help another, and Kieron spends most of the episode trying to get us to put one in the fire.
