season eleven of BrokenwoodMysteries. This time, episode
six, an odes to Christmas.

Mark (00:31):
Boy, is this a doozy?

Sarah (00:35):
We get to see so much of the odes family, and you can
still count their brain cells onone hand.

Mark (00:40):
All of the odes are there. All of the odes that we know of.

Sarah (00:44):
No. Only the male odes. Yes. There's only men in the
odes family. The women are smartenough to run off, I think.
Not only do we get the wholeodes family, we get to meet
Kristen's sister Nikki for thefirst time.

Mark (00:55):
And it explains everything.

Brokenwood.

As far as we know.

Sarah (01:11):
As far as we know. But we've got some fun ways for you
to watch it like a maniac.

Mark (01:16):
The this episode is the height of comedic detective
story.

Sarah (01:22):
It is by far one of the funniest episodes of Brokenwood.

Mark (01:25):
And yet, there is an incredibly touching important
part in the middle with Trudy.Yep. That is not comedy, not
played for comedy. Nope. Is donecorrectly.

Sarah (01:37):
Yep. Absolutely. It's just all around good episode.
Yes. It's Christmas y withoutbeing too Christmas y.
Yeah. Because, well, it's theheight of summer.

Mark (01:46):
Well, the important thing to me about the Christmas
episode is that Frodo got itscracker.

Sarah (01:52):
Are you ready for how to watch this episode like a
maniac?

Mark (01:55):
Yes. So this is once again spoiler free. We are just,

Yeah. What is that supposed to be? What does that
mean? Are you ready? Yes.

we don't have the answer I

Mark (02:15):

Sarah (02:17):
Number one, what is in Dennis Buchanan's front seat?

Mark (02:21):

seat though?

house? We spend a lot of time inSims's house.

Mark (03:01):

Sarah (03:04):
time Some of it very uncomfortable. What's on the
front of her house?
