Hi, I'm Maddie Lee, your faithful tour guide for the wonderful and occasionally strange town of Hope Springs.
When Rooney started her interviews about prayer, I don't think she intended for Woodward to hurt himself while trying to pray.
But Woodward sprained his ankle, and now he and Dante have even more questions about praying.
Jay and his father found a very old knife in Professor Treblay's shed.
That shouldn't be a big deal, but that knife might be the legendary Judas Blade.
Never heard of it? You will.
And so will Zack.
Though his vaccinations didn't put off his desire for sweet revenge, he got a lesson from Troy about how having power is better than revenge.
And unexpectedly, the appearance of the mysterious Judas Blade might be one way for Zack to get it.
Meanwhile, Brace was still suffering through camp, even though a friendly counselor tried to help him.
I don't think it did.
Dakota began to wonder what kind of a deal she made with the big podcast company and quickly realized she made a big mistake.
The company betrayed her, and it affected her so much that she met with Rooney to ask for forgiveness.
I don't know about you, but I was surprised that Rooney refused to forgive her.
And that's where we are.
You must be wondering what's going to happen next with all these stories.
So let's not wait any longer.
Buckle up.
It's time for Welcome to Hope Springs.
