On this week's Night Vale recap THERE'S BEEN A MURDER. It's the same murder we heard about last week, but as Cecil points out it's still true, and it's a heck of a hook for a radio program. Here's hoping the WikiHow article can show Cecil how to solve it before someone else gets murdered hahahah. Ha ha. Ha. Um. Anyway...

Meanwhile over on Mayor of Kingsdown, Mike seems to be in the healthiest relationship we've seen in the past four years. Hope she doesn't die! Kyle's wife Tracy had her kitchen broken into, but Mike's got the cops looking after her. Hope she doesn't die! We had a GIANT jump scare that ends with someone in the hospital, but they're looking better now. Hope they don't die!

(Next week we'll switch it up and talk about who we hope DOES die. LOOKING AT YOU, WARDEN. YOU TOO, ROBERT.)

This episode's outro is a clip from Cure Remedy by Joseph Sacco.
