Ho ho ho! Christmas has come early thanks to Cheryl and Nikki Druce. High on the spirit of crimbo, they present an unreleased episode from season one… the pilot! So get in, we’re heading back 7 months to learn about the crazy Love Has Won cult. A tale of mother and father gods, colloidal silver and glitter covered desiccated corpses… what could be more festive than that… But who was mother god, and how did a potentially well intentioned community turn into a police raid that went viral? Cheryl and Nikki are going to find out. Expect baby Nikki and Chez, tails of swingers hotels and a shocking discovery.
