Hey guys, love the show. I followed you guys from the Westworld podcast. Two items of conjecture to hopefully explain Jame’s puzzling behavior for digging the grave deeper and to redress Brace’s faulty or misleading story of James’ mother. 1) I think the reason James helped dig Thorne’s grave was...
