Please note: This episode was originally recorded before the vandalism in Cromitty's lab and should have featured Cuthbert but his lines were not recorded live so it was necessary to re-record them during editing which is why his friend Brandon took Cuthbert's place instead; these lines were recorded on the 22nd October 2023.
