On this, the 11th anniversary of the day Homestuck broke the internet, we look back on the very flash that did that - [S] Cascade. Plots converge and characters die as the critical moment arrives. We also discuss Intermission 2: The Man in the Cairo Overcoat, and talk about the differences between Doc Scratch and Lord English. This episode covers pages 4109-4112 of Andrew Hussie's Homestuck, which is best read at the unofficial Homestuck Web Archive. Get in touch!

We take a look back. Vriska loses an eye. Aradia loses her life. Mr. Vanilla Milkshake is revealed to be one Doc Scratch, and he's not very happy with the situation on Alternia.
Molly and Ashley discover the secret locked behind a door in Doc Scratch's apartment. He tells them and his secret protegee about the history of trolls, specifically before they scratched their game. Andrew Hussie jumps into the comic and finally becomes a real character. The scratch finally happens, people die, people ascend, suckers are revealed and the promise of a new universe awaits.
Ashley and Molly have to pick up the panels after Doc Scratch beats up a ruffian. This leaves with an alarming amount of free will. They have a variety of stories to choose from! Are they going to read about Dave and Rose and who is piloting the now very real suicide mission? Or maybe they are going to hear the sad story of Vriska meeting a John who doesn't seemt to remember her? Perhaps they'll find out what the returning Davesprite knows about the true nature of denizens? Will they find what is behind the locked door in Doc Scratch's apartment and who "she" is? Will they be reunited with Jade and Karkat as they talk about frogs and receive an impossible task? Or maybe they'll get in a rap off with Gamzee and Tavros for some reason. Of course, the answer is "All of them." That's the only answer when you have free will.
Molly and Ashley find out why exactly you never turn your back on the body as another troll body gets added to the pile. Doomed Dave has a conversation with a very much alive Aradia. She explains how Homestuck's after life works and then tells a group of friends just who that mysterious Doc Scratch is. Doc Scratch has a conversation with one of his many protegees and Rose finally goes dark.
