Let’s all take our seats—it’s Crisis 303(b): Future Armageddon!!!
This is the second part of a "crisis" episode, the first part of which aired last October.

Also, we're doing some remodeling at the house, and need some time for that. If all goes well on both fronts, the new HIGMWTRC will be out on July 5.
