All that and more of course, this week on The Rolled Standard.  

With our sweet boys once again separated and things looking dire, we start looking down the path to the end of our journey. What strange tapestry do these threads eventually weave together? I'm surely curious, aren't you?

After the massive information drop from the pickled professor last week and with their orders from the Director.
