Originally Aired: November 14th, 2022 (Season 10, Episode 24)

Our story tonight is called Ship in a Bottle, and it’s about a crate of bequests ready to be unwrapped. It’s also about the dark bark of oak trees after a storm, garden benches waiting to be sat on, and the ordinary magic of handmade things.
