After being held captive for 106 years, Dream escapes and sets out to restore order to his realm, the Dreaming. Writer/podcaster Swara Salih rejoins the show for his 3rd appearance, having covered Ms. Marvel and the Umbrella Academy before. In this episode, they discuss the key plot moves that captivate the audience, and the extraordinary casting as well as production value.
