“This is in response to people who miss the show, but hated that it cost money to watch on Paramount Plus,” Robert King explained on Twitter, after the streamer circulated the special link to the episode. “We asked our betters if they would put one episode out for free: a self-contained episode like ‘S Is for Silence.’ So here it is.”

The seventh episode of Season 2, “S Is for Silence” finds Kristen, David and Ben investigating a corpse that doesn’t seem to be decaying, at a monastery where talking is strictly forbidden.
