Episode 54: “Sex, Lies, and Dept H”

We’re in the thick of it now with Fabian & Co (mayhaps “Fabs and the Crew” as a band name?) as the re-formed Alpha Flight gets assigned to a protection detail for…Dr. Doom?! Maybe?! It’s possible Doom’s storyline at this moment is more convoluted than Alpha’s, which feels impossible but here we are!

We also go a bit backwards in time so JMH and Heather can move forward… Honestly, the soap operatic elements haven’t been this bubbly in a minute and we couldn’t be happier.
