With the help of her cryptologist sister, Jordan follows clues to several National Parks where hidden memorials to Noeul's deceased wife, contain the next set of coded ciphers.

In this episode, Zane (Soul Mates) and Thalia (Eagle Cove)  talk with Rachel Cross from Ascension by JL Gaynor. Duty vs Love. At first glance, we might be inclined to think mere mortals don't face this dilemma. But what about boss/co-worker? Or lover vs the children? Rachel Cross (JL Gaynor) faces duty vs love on steroids in Ascension. But I'm willing to bet at some point in our lives, most of us have faced this. What were you willing to do for love? Rachel is the leader of the Sisterhood of the Guardianship who's mission is to protect innocent humans from evil vampires who violate a centuries-old treaty. Due to the sensitive nature of her position, she was not able to visit us in person. So we spoke to her from an undisclosed location via a secure line.

With all the discussion about who belongs in what bathroom, one group of individuals is rarely mentioned. An estimated 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 babies are born intersex. Intersex is not a new phenomenon. It has been around since at least the beginning of recorded human history. Throughout history, the treatment protocol has been deplorable, often disfiguring children through untimely surgeries and leaving their gender identity in the hands of nature vs nurture, where nature usually wins and may not agree with the assignment chose at birth.
