Fortunate Horse, Worlds Beyond Number
About this episode

The gang splits up. The stars align and cast no shadow. In separation: terror and revelation. But it's pressure that makes the coal into diamond isn't it? And oh what stories that diamond could tell, of the phantom thread that unspools from cradle to the gory floor.

Brennan Lee Mulligan

Erika Ishii

Aabria Iyengar
