This was fun. Love the cameo. Lots and lots of hints going on.

- FORT Ferris. That caught my attention. I'm pro-fortification.

- Mothwood, I forget where it was referenced before but it was a good nugget, glad we're getting more.

- "That old TV Show"--you reference this several times and I can't help but feel like there's something going on with that.

Also, whenever you do a "Tamsin recorded some tiktoks" i am just imagining her flossing while she makes her pitch. Which is funny!

Looking forward to more of this!

I didn't catch that at first; now I'm intrigued!

Mothwood last mentioned in Ivy/Ixos episode 5!

Ahhhh! I hadn't caught the TV show either, but I'm wondering about that now as well. I get the feeling the island isn't keen on TV.

Can I just say how happy it made me that Ivy had a part in this story? 🤗🥳

I have a distinct sense that Tamsin is not going to be respectful when she gets to the woods. And that she is going to regret fluffing up her application like that. Should've listened to Ivy.

Nice, Ivy is in the gift shop. Cool...She got a summer job.

So, I m thinking Tamsin is going to generate interest in the island but there's a good chance the focus of the interest will be herself...missing? And I agree it's nice to see Ivy as a part of the locals on the Island as we've moved forward in the time line. Hopefully Ixos may play a part as well...

Looking promising!

Well, you've successfully made me feel as if I'm part of this town. As soon as I read, "what could be the harm?" I thought, "Girl.. you really just don't know." 🤣

So we know IVY survives!!! Whether unscathed? We don't know. One thing for sure is that she seems more mature than her years now. I love she is now the local warning visitors to respect the woods. Feels like we've watched her grow up and now we are invested in her for life. Parents and friends being part of "the village" it takes to raise a child. Love it.

But oh Tamsin! Honey! The island doesn't "need" you. It's really doesn't. Listen. Learn. Don't live the island through your phone. Be where you are. And most important respect the island and especially the woods. Please!

They did hire her so can’t really be blamed. Apparently they don’t want what they got. Thematically rich rather than the throw away tale it purports to be.

Not talking about the "people" needing Tamsin. The island doesn't "need" her. We've seen that before. Excited to see where this goes.

Agreed

I'm gonna say, of course you had to stop there! I couldn't read fast enough, S.E.! You have a real gift for fiction. I'm tuning my radio in for tomroow!

Ivy?! Wait what hold on a second. Also I support Tamsin being a little deceitful on her application, you do what you have to do in this job market, I bet they didn't even bother sending rejection letters to the other applicants.
