Hooray, everything’s back to “normal” in Night Vale! Science is legal again, the Weather is back, Dr. Janet Lubelle is…not technically gone from the city, but it’s fine. Since so many people are thinking about celebrating with a vacation, Night Vale has now opened their first international airport, the Randy Newman Memorial Terminal! (Yes, Randy
