NOTE: (warning for those with audio-sensitivity) About 36 minutes into the podcast, you may notice a slight hum. It was an error on the recording, and we reduced it best we could. Beth and Abbey check out a "Strange Case" to find out the *real* story behind Jekyll and Hyde... while also yelling at Rumple a looooooot.

NOTE: Abbey's mic was having issues this episode, so we used her backup audio. There might be some room noise as a result.
