Didn't Ask for Agony
The 2023 Lifesaver

In the last episode of the season, the girls come to you in hushed tones, mainly cause they lost their voices (three guesses how). They also have a special treat of a pod to close out the season- more a dramatic tale than a problem to solve but still highly ridiculous.
