First, sorry for taking so long to get this video out. I wanted to finish the new box so that I knew how to make the first part showing the mistakes and restarts. That, by the way, is the theme of the entire episode. This was a really hard one to make for a number of reasons.

Thankfully, the next video is already shot, the box is done (yay!), and I just need to edit Part 2.
