=== Act III === Act 3 opens up with Judith walking back to Jase’s house. She admits that she's frustrated, but wants to finish what she started, claiming once again that Jase deserves to fully know the person he's walking away from. Upon catching Jase in a hurry to pick up his moms from the airport, the pair begin arguing until Jase draws the line, telling Judith directly that he’s done, and leaves. Over an instrumental reprise of “Hear Me Out”, Judith gives herself a pep talk, saying it'll be strange to live without him, but that she deserves to let him go and build a better version on her own. She says that she loves Jase and she probably always will, and leaves her phone in his mailbox for him to find. ("Answer 36") The record shuts off. Jase finds the phone and in the span of 2010 to 2017, he chimes in frequently with new recordings, documenting what has changed and reflecting on his feelings about the situation with Judith as he often finds himself listening back to parts of the record. He discloses that he briefly got together with one of his old partners and they had a kid, Cooper; however, after all this time he still finds himself missing Judith and wishing things could’ve been different. ("Listen Back") He turns off the record. The record turns on moments later, with Jase excitedly saying that he found Judith's email and typed his remaining questions and answers in a three-page PDF. Jase composes an email with the PDF attached while overthinking what could go wrong with Judith's reaction. ("Attachment") Later on, he reports that Judith surprisingly responded and invited him to dinner so he can finish the 36 Questions in person. They meet up, Jase finishes the questions, and upon answering the final question by wondering how he can move on from her, the atmosphere becomes melancholy. Jase admits that the truth depends on a person's point of view, and they both come to the conclusion that two sides can both be right. ("The Truth") The record ends after a few seconds of silence, leaving the aftermath ambiguous.
== Production == Skip Bronkie and Zack Akers of Two-Up Productions, the same company behind Limetown, approached Littler and Winter with the parameters of the plot. Littler and Winter dismissed the podcast trope of having an external narrator early in the production process, deciding instead to loop the two singers' voices into harmonies to avoid the need for a chorus. In place of a narrator, each episode is presented as a series of voice memos that Judith records on her phone.
