S01E46 Max Lag

### Segments
1. **Cold Open — The Sixth, on the Recorder** (Tue Oct 6, 8:57; Sparky's hand recorder, "as of last week that's policy"): everyone in place; Golfford standing, the animal in his chair, the calendar between them; the Division's door open; **two sets of footsteps on the hallway carpet** — Json: "Evening." / Margaret: "The office notes two." / "The Division is in." Nobody asks; Burn's "Where were —" cut by Harold; Json "finished it privately." "The Division authorizes one — one — recapitulation." Breezy: "Do I throw it?" / Golfford: "It's nine." The board plays **February**: "Previously, on Element Forty-Seven —" ("there wasn't a previously"); two Harolds, eight months apart, "I'm Harold"; Json: "That's the recapitulation." / "Half of it." / "Which half." / "The easy one." Tom: "I heard that in February. I wasn't here in February." The Narrator wrong ("for the second time, first"). The February LEGO brick clicks; Golfford "said something quietly to the calendar." Sparky: "I do not know which of us is lyve."
2. **Breezy — The Thirteenth**: "last Tuesday was the second of February. I threw it... Nine-month-old me had a lighter touch." Nobel ("reducing the swings since February; nobody's called from Stockholm"); "On the sixth, I was here twice." "This one holds."
3. **Panel — Who Played That** (as themselves): "Nobody pressed play. Json authorized it. Authorizing isn't pressing." Burn: a repeat is the cheapest thing a station can do and "the most expensive thing this building has heard." Drip: "You didn't hear the program. You heard the distance." Cruise reads the ticket: "max lag... We were forty-five weeks behind last Tuesday. Nobody filed a ticket." / Anchor: "Nobody files tickets here. We have an office." **"The bots didn't ask... You can just not."** Drip notes Q6 (not answered). Anchor: "Tonight's the thirteenth." / Burn: "Tonight's the forty-sixth." / "Both." The one-stop agent. **Anchor's edit: "We don't hear the repeat tonight... We hear people who heard it."**
