This week, Sarah and MJ follow Brody's departure from his home to a fateful encounter with a corpse on the beaches of Amity. They have a revelation about the recurrence of the color yellow, discuss what it's like for Brody to feel "in his element" with an investigation again and over analyze the famous billboard for the annual Amity Regatta race. Also, MJ has a chip on his shoulder about being called Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and Sarah nearly derails the podcast thinking about the logistics of how to properly arrest a shark.

Also, they find a lot of significance surrounding Michael Brody's injury and discover that the broken swingset is a metaphor for things to come!

NOTE: MJ didn't check his settings for recording thoroughly and ended up recording this episode using his on board microphone on his laptop. As such, the audio sync is off and it sounds like he interrupts people kind of a lot. It also sounds like he's broadcasting from the wreckage of Ben Gardner's boat. Neither of these things was intentional.
