In our season finale, we update you on the status of all of the people we interview. Update you on what has happened to Hubert. And hear from Grace Peppernickle one last time. If you think you know everything already, you are in for a surprise.

In this penultimate episode of the season, we hear the final two interviews from our initial investigation. One is a huge fan of Grace Peppernickle, and the other makes Egyptian Fast Food. Revelations abound in this episode of SURIAL.

This week we finally hear from Sinbad, the ex-husband. He explains his side of the story and makes some accusations that are unexpected.

This week we hear from two people significantly impacted by the graduation marriage proposal. The Valedictorian, and her now ex-boyfriend.

We have discussed a lot of incidences around Grace Peppernickle. But one we have avoided so far is the story of her husband and their divorce. This week we begin on that journey.

This week we look at the life Grace has post-health inspecting. We see how she is treated by the town, and we learn about a friend of hers.

Many lives were impacted by the shutdown of the Chill-Do factory. Two of which we hear about today. Don Karkovice, a simple janitor near retirement, and Elaina Asmirov, a Romanian immigrant processing drugs.

Of all the people of Tuscola, only one seems to be held in as near low regard as Grace. That person is fugitive from the law and former plant foreman Anthony Collaro. This week we speak to Anthony about the plant and the state inspection.

Grace was not the only one involved in shutting down the plant. After her report, the state health inspector came in and had an inspection of his own. This week we hear from state inspector Kirk Trussell, and he tells me about the executive decision to shut down the plant. Also, there is falafel.

Like many people, Grace Peppernickle has parents. Unlike many people, her parents hate her. This week we talk to them about Grace, her health inspecting, and their former employee, Samuel.

This week we delve deeper into the work-life of Grace Peppernickle. We visit with her coworkers Mick Hendrix and Twyla Joplin, as well as the mayor of Tuscola, Kyle Maclin.

Grace Peppernickle was a small-town girl with aspirations of giving back to her community the only way she could see fit. Through health inspection. In this episode, we begin the story of how Graces hopes were flip turned upside down. By doing her job, she caused her entire home town to hate her. This season we learn about drugs, love, pigs, and eventually, falafel. Surial is back with a brand new, completely made-up story, told week to week. We start with Grace. This is her story.

Back in September of 2013 James Bludonski was a freshman at Kishwaukee Valley Technical School in Valley Glenn Illinois. A small University town, surrounded by fields of corn. A young man, starting his life, trying to fit in. Now, James is a senior at Kishwaukee Valley tech. What has changed? For the past three plus years James has been on academic probation, and is a social pariah. The reason? James attended a frat party at the Pi Gamma Sigma house on campus, and that night the house burned to the ground. James was blamed by many. Did he do it?
