10 Book One, Chapter Nine

What this episode covers

"Assam & Darjeeling" is the story of two children who set out to rescue their dead mother from the Underworld -- a nightmare place where the mythological desperately tries to keep pace with the world above. The children encounter cell-phone carrying demons, forgotten deities from defunct pantheons waiting tables, and one nasty character called Juniper who takes a particular, personal interest in their quest. In the ninth chapter of our story, the children, having been left behind by the boatman, decide to make their own way down the river -- discovering, in the process, their new names.
