Derek Maine returns for his second appearance this season to talk about Alex Bleach’s tapes, Vodka Satana’s death, how the system is rigged, horrible men, the complications of passing judgement, Mot\u00f6rhead, mushroom powder, and much more. This is a pretty key episode, as the trilogy veers into detective novel territory, and the conflict with Dopalet becomes more well defined.<\/p>\n
