Hi! It's me, your resident know-it-all conspiracy theorist. I hate this. I can't wait to trip on a rock and get brain damage. Anyway, two things:

1) There's something in the sorting path ghost hole

2) There is a not zero percent chance that the intrepid staff that definitely solved the problem and did not at all majorly biff it like we did still managed to somehow come back possessed and they are, in fact, the plants

Do with that what you will.
