Sarah:Yes.
Mark:To episode two of this series, the quiz night episode.
Sarah:Yes. We've got some characters who come back, which I think is really fun.
Mark:Yeah. It's it's definitely you remember people. Like, was like, isn't that? And it was.
Sarah:I wonder if when they have guest actors like this on two episodes, if they film them out of order to keep them on set and just do like if they filmed episode two and then they filmed episode five because a lot of those actors were the same or if they just come back.
Mark:I would assume so. And we also get a flashback to episode two.
Sarah:You're right.
Mark:And Gina doesn't let things go.
Sarah:She does not let things go. There's also a fun issue about jurisdiction that's never come up before. They refer to Riverstone quite a bit as being a town that's like, what, a twenty minute drive away or It's the nearest town. And now that they're they're out kind of in the woods at a camp for this episode, there's a question of, well, who is jurisdiction out Riverstone Police or Brokenwood Police?
Mark:And and Brokenwood, like Midsommar is one of those towns where people both say, it's a small town so everybody knows everything. And then there are other parts in the episode where you're like, everyone in town would know that.
Sarah:Yeah. Well, in Midsommar, you understand that they have kind of county jurisdiction, but until this episode, I didn't realize that Riverstone even had their own police force.
Mark:Yeah. It was very weird.
Sarah:And apparently, they do.
Mark:Yes.
