Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of bigotry in the world. You'd expect whimsical fictional worlds to be places of escape from such heavy stuff, but the truth is that there's still a geothermal lake of bigotry bubbling beneath the worlds' surfaces.

Luck questions the ethics of non-magical poop cleaning, Neil exposes some time-travelling accomplishment theft and Tull takes us to the final frontier of knowledge (it's barren). Meanwhile, Shigeru and Emiko sneak out to investigate the steakhouse after hours and Dr Cueto slips away for a bedside visit to Detective O’Driscoll’s ward.

Of all the cities to live in, Gotham City is probably one of the downright worst. Sure, there's Batman running about punching bad guys in the face while pretending he's mentally sound, but crime (and supercrime) remains and that's just not good enough, Bats.

A returning Steph decides to upset the Joker, Neil unleashes a plague of Dark Knights and Luck forces two cavemen to undergo the most paralysing culture shock in history. Meanwhile, Flint requests for maximum security around Isla at the hospital and Wyatt introduces Randall Jnr. to two assassins for tutelage – Virgo and Capricorn.

It's 2017! It's a new year! And now we've left that completely rubbish year (on a global scale) of 2016 firmly in the past, a new year means new starts. New beginnings.

So the Off Piste crew decided to celebrate one whole year of episodes by individually revisiting past episodes' questions to patch up their previous terrible decision making! Tull unlocks a new character for the Mario Kart circuits, Neil decides to instead ride on an island for the zombie apocalypse and Luck takes one more stab at romance with a family man rather than a disgusting alien lobster man.
