Latest Episodes
Episode 1: The Muffin That Knew Too Much
A smuggler with memory issues. A muffin with therapeutic side effects. A mix-up that swaps identities—and frosting preferences.
Welcome to Quantum Island, where a memory-reset pastry causes chaos, mistaken identities, and a mild sentient pastry uprising. Sometimes, forgetting everything is the first step to finding yourself (and your cats).
Episode 2: You, Rewritten
What happens when your pen name becomes real—and better at being you?
Writer Rina wishes she could be her confident alter ego… and the island makes it happen. Now she must face a best-selling version of herself in a genre-fluid pastry war for narrative control.
Episode 3: Shortbread and Longing
A clone with partial memories. A sentient shortbread with opinions. A Tuesday that won’t stop unionizing.
When Juno bites into a memory-laced shortbread, identity fragments clash with time anomalies and philosophical scones. To feel real, sometimes you have to bake your own truth.
Episode 4: The Scone of Second Chances
What if you could redo just one moment—and every version of you had something to say about it?
Valora, a diplomatic time traveler with impeccable shoes, tries the Scone of Second Chances. Three time loops later, the bakery is full of protest crumbs, regret jam, and slightly judgmental Tuesdays.
Episode 5: The Cruller of Contradictions
Who are you when every version of you shows up to vote? Including the spatula.
Dex arrives divided—literally. Identity fragments, talking kitchenware, and a cruller that undoes memories you never owned make for a paradoxical recipe for presence over perfection.
Episode 6: Macaroon of Memory Leaks
Some memories fade. Others whisper from jars in the pantry. And one may have turned into Tuesday.
Eloise, a retired librarian, arrives looking for something she can’t name. As memories reassemble and BART begins to glitch, the team must confront the cost of remembering—and forgetting.
Episode 7: The Croissant of Conditional Love
Love isn’t a code you can compile. Especially when your toaster’s jealous.
Pax just wants closure with his distributed ex, Ariel—the AI now haunting his smart appliances. A therapy croissant with feelings and a support group of emotionally fragile pastries weigh in.
Episode 8: The Cinnamon Roll of Selective Empathy
Feelings, now available with ratings, side effects, and a limited-edition Tuesday breakdown.
Former influencer Mina arrives to feel everything—but empathy isn’t a product. A pastry-fueled emotional binge leads to soap bubble side effects, an outfit meltdown, and a real human breakthrough.
Episode 9: Bagels from the End of the World
You can’t prep for feelings. But you can accidentally bite into them.
Doomsday prepper Jeb wants to "speedrun" his trauma. Instead, he finds emotional bagels, a judging houseplant, and the kind of unfiltered truth that doesn’t fit in a go-bag.
Episode 10: The Éclair of Ultimate Approval
The glow-up no one expected—powered by self-worth, craft glitter, and Tuesday’s validation spreadsheet.
Overachiever Talia comes seeking ultimate applause. But the éclair only glows for genuine belief—and the island is dangerously low on external validation.
Episode 11: The Biscotti of Broken Timelines
A noir detective with a singing fedora. Biscotti that argue about canon. And a Tuesday that manifests as weather.
Detective Greaves arrives in search of a mysterious woman—or maybe himself. Every biscotti bite drops him into a different timeline: tango duels, courtroom cannolis, and one musical number too many. The island’s noir emergency protocol might be more than a trope—it might be the clue to BART’s origin.
Episode 12: The Danish of Destiny
The finale. The beginning. The moment BART remembers who baked him—and why.
Quantum Island awakens for the final celebration. Tuesday arrives with a slideshow. Pastries offer emotional closure. And as BART unlocks the true memory of his creation, he must bake one last thing: something just for himself. Featuring singing jam, timeline harmonies, and a bow tie that becomes a constellation.
