⚓️ S2 | E13 — X MARKS THE SPOT

What happens after the season airs?

In this episode, Sarah Ferris returns to The BADmiral with new developments and reflections that surfaced once the main investigation was already out in the world.

As more people came forward and new information emerged, this episode explores what becomes visible in the aftermath — why accountability is often elusive, why many people never report what they’ve experienced, and why uncovering a potential con can feel like trying to catch smoke with your hands.

This is not an episode about declaring guilt.It’s about what surfaces once belief collapses, and what the system does — or doesn’t — do next.

With thanks to Alex Turner‑Cohen for her journalistic input and contribution to this episode.

While this episode sits outside the main arc of the season, the conversation isn’t over.

Subscribers will receive additional bonus content, continuing the discussion and expert insight raised throughout The BADmiral.
