I loved those triffids so much, I spent all of Year 10 recreating them first in wax then in clay. Something about the design resonated. Hey, I got 'A's and it was the last year I did Art.

My love of triffids may be influencing Skipper too. A tiny bit.

I don't have Day of the Triffids on DVD, but I've seen it on TV several times, including recently. Carole Ann Ford, who later played Susan in Doctor Who, was in it as well.

That’s the one. One of the Beeb’s better productions of the time.

Teenaged me loved those triffids. It may have been an early sign...

I was thinking of the 1959 movie. I'd forgotten about the 1981 TV series, but I believe I saw it when it first aired. I just don't remember it much.

Yes, that's right. The movie was actually 1963, the same year that Doctor Who started, but it was probably first.

Not gonna lie, with all the guilt Izzy is feeling over the death of Will Grimes and all the therapy and counselling she's still going through, I think it's actually really apt and poetic that she was the only one to pass the Vestigia check and ended up going through all that in the process...

The team will receive a group messaging (WhatsApp, Signal etc) message from Skipper that an email dump is heading their way.

I've copied Skipper and Eli's findings to the Place for Clues forum, mostly successfully except the last bit.

I can’t see the screenshot. Or is that the bit where they were unsuccessful?

Yeah, that didn't copy across as a quote on the forum but assume Skipper sent the actual item to the rest of the team.

Message to the team group chat:

The apparently immortal lollipop lady will be at the school crossing at end of school today.

Oy Voodoo 5-0: Is there actually an underworld and can people get sent to it? Like as a punishment? I count 4 disappearances of naughty people in about the last 120 years, if you include Preacher Jones and Short.
