GoF Chapter 27 - Padfoot Returns
He's back! A fan-favourite character returns in this chapter of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Sirius Black is back, and he reveals a lot of crucial information about a key character in the book. Hosts David and Kyle break down the return of Sirius Black and how it sets up the rest of the book. They also discuss the latest Witches' Weekly gossip column written by Rita Skeeter and how it's pretty sad for a grown woman to be attacking a teenage girl. Hermione, to her credit, responds perfectly, and it sets her forward in her ultimate goal of taking Rita Skeeter down once and for all.

GoF Chapter 25 - The Egg and the Eye
The Egg and the Egg...we mean the Egg and the Eye. In this episode, hosts David and Kyle break down Harry FINALLY figuring out what kind of clue the golden egg contains, as well as a tense discussion Harry overhears between Professors Snape and Mad-Eyed Moody. A character narrowly avoids having their mastermind plan ruined in this episode, but some quick thinking on getting the Marauders Map out of Harry's hands closes a pretty big plot hole in the book.
