What this episode covers
The Unrulies take a spin down the gravel roads and winding curves of the country. Much beauty awaits them, but what lies beneath? Social isolation lurks as well as freedom. And what about the lack of accountability if no one sees what occurs? Yet social rituals endure, and the liberation of children playing in the river. The country is deep, like the sky.
