209. Invasion of the Dangling Plot Threads

We're back from the International Stereotype Tour, but return to a Konaka-ized Tokyo as demons attack and an old man kidnaps children in a van.

We discuss jealousy, 02's focus on clothing, the dark gate moment, and news consumption. Asher explores the kids' struggle with sacrifice and moral codes, Jeff dissects 02's issues with killing Digimon, Ashley is thrilled by the return of LadyDevimon, and Andrew has a shocking revelation about MarineAngemon.
