TRIGGER WARNING: This episode portrays genuine emotions…it is the saddest episode thus far, but also the funniest as well!

Linhenykus monodactylus…the one-fingered wonder…if you are looking for a dinosaur which can properly use scissors…you’re at the wrong place :) All this little guy is good for is running..and hugging termite mounds…it cannot even help us create a good episode, even when our show’s future is at stake! Will I be able to hold myself together under the pressure of impending doom? Will AL finally bring us back to the past? Find out now!

This episode is dedicated to my best friend :) Happy birthday, my poopy friend, and thank you for all the love and support you continue to provide me even in the darkest of times :(
