What does it mean to protect a child in a world designed to crush the innocent? In this episode, hosts Phil Yu and Kiera Please react to one of the season’s most devastating twists, the newborn baby’s forced induction into the Game and Player 456’s newfound purpose. Plus, we break down the backstory of our favorite creepy dolls: Young-hee and Chul-su and their role in Korean education. Then, special guest Philip Wang of Wong Fu Productions joins to talk about the show’s evolving definition of family–and what it means when even the heroes have blood on their hands. Plus, the trio face off in a morally impossible round of “The Lesser Evil”- because sometimes, there are no right answers.

SPOILER ALERT! Make sure you watch Squid Game Season 3 Episode 3 before listening on.
