In Episode 16, Colin Cheney is missing. He was last seen venturing to Puerto Rico in search of a major discovery at the Arecibo Observatory. Meanwhile, fearing his reoccurring Martian Aphasia might lead to his arrest, Donald Quist flees the United States and returns to Bangkok. From Thailand, Donald reflects on America's declaration of war with Mars and the executive order to detain any perceived followers of former Mars colonist, Captain Raymond Shepard. Donald discusses the growing sense of anxiety across the globe as uncertainty about alien invaders continues to aid the rise of demagogues. Sorting through abandoned audio from his last visit with Colin, Donald shares a recording of the pair riding through Boston, Massachusetts, on their way to meet a new sponsor for the podcast. Reminiscing on their work together, Donald ponders Colin's vanishing and if the podcast might be of greater significance than either of them could have imagined.

In this ninth episode, the season one finale, Colin interviews Somrak “Som” Sila, art curator and proprietor of one of Bangkok’s coolest venues, WTF Bar & Gallery. While roaming from alley to bar, Som tells the story of how she left behind a successful career as a financial analyst in order to carve out an open artistic community amidst an exclusive art scene and an evolving environment of censorship. She recalls growing up the daughter of a police officer and her desire to rebel against the world around her. She discusses the Dunning-Kruger Effect, reactions to the leaked CCTV footage of an assault on British tourists in Hua Hin, and some of her most memorable and nerve-racking exhibits.
The hosts receive dramatic news from Mars’ Arsia Base, raising more questions about the disappearance of the Harbinger 1 crew and its possible connection to a strange new aphasia affecting thousands across Thailand, and millions around the world. Donald struggles with his own fractured speech and what to do next, and Colin explores what the deal is with the future of this podcast.
