• Traach is killed by the werewolf the first night. He was the Doctor.
• The players vote to execute Gragullio the Bad King as a werewolf. He was a werewolf!
• Usidore is killed by the werewolf the second night. He was the Seer.
• The witch poisons Chunt.
• In the ensuing argument between Aster*isk and Tom Moonchild over who is the remaining werewolf in the game, it is revealed that Tom is also an actual werewolf.

Space bunker

Craig tries to break down his history: delivery boy, outlaw, steamboat captain, and an interstellar despot. Now that his stint as a long-haul trucker is coming to an end, he has no purpose other than hanging around a space truck stop. A robot, PV348, approaches and Craig orders another coffee before explaining that the only thing on his to-do list is to describe the upcoming episode.

By the end of the episode, Craig has had a major epiphany. If he's going to understand more about himself and his unique journey, he needs to learn more about his past. The best source is his old boss back at the space bunker. Plus, he left a mostly-uneaten sandwich there and he's been thinking about it for months. Craig asks PV3 if he wants to ride shotgun — it's going to be a long journey back to the bunker by space truck.
