Emma and Will have a hellishly difficult conversation. Wait, that doesn't sound right. Emma and Will *checks notes* have a conversation about a "devilishly hard" metapuzzle! Yes, that's it. (It's actually not that hard, don't be put off.) This episode includes spoilers for the Fireball contest "Mind the Gap" from September 13, 2023, so go solve it first if you haven't already!
