Summary
It's a Saturday, so the god kids are going into town to have some fun. Or, in the case of Helen Silva, following Lenny and his floating Jug of grain to find out why she's suddenly hearing voices and seeing Gods.

It's not long before the police presence in Northpoint Cemetery leads them to discover that someone is desecrating the mausoleums of prominent families from the area. They work together to try and find the culprit, answer Helen's questions, and to avoid any property or reputational damage to the school for once.

Trivia

 * The guest for this episode, Aabria Iyengar, was a cast regular on seasons two and three of the Demigods campaign of New Pantheon.
 * Aki jokes as Manny about feeling like they were related to Baron Samedi in a previous life, referencing their character Wil from New Pantheon: Demigods
 * Kelly, Aki, Eric & Mika all have canonical characters named after themselves as a result of the twitch channel promotion that subscribers or re-subscribers will get NPCs named after them in the story. At various points the cast each re/subbed and became the school mean kids to be feared & avoided.
