Davies' ability to craft an emotionally impactful "haunted house in space" story with just the core cast. They explore the horror and existential elements of the episode, comparing it to classic stories like "Midnight" and "The Ark in Space."

The hosts also discuss the cameo appearance of Wilf and what his character has meant to them and the show. They speculate on the significance of plot elements like the song "Wild Blue Yonder" and the mysterious being known as "The Boss."
