WHO IS NO/ONE Episode 9 React

So, Episode 9—or should we call it the reckoning of Pittsburgh—just dropped. And let me tell you, this isn’t just a podcast anymore; it’s a first hand look at a city setting itself on fire, with everyone holding matches.

Let’s start where it gets juicy: Proposition 87 is law now, folks. A self-defense law that, within days, has left fourteen dead. What kind of dystopian nightmare did we step into? As usual, Julia Paige and Teddy Barstow walk us through it all with that Ledger-branded somber tone (come on, guys, give me something), but the real kicker is in the interviews.

First up, Kenneth Chbosky, the man who stormed FOC News trying to get to Alanna Paige and left several bodies behind. This man’s story is the ultimate cautionary tale of what happens when unchecked radicalization turns into violence. Chbosky didn’t just target a news station—he aimed directly for Alanna Paige, blaming her for his downward spiral. He didn’t make it to her, but others paid the price. Chbosky is dead, but his impact still looms large, and it’s impossible to ignore the way the very people he blamed for his fall are still here, thriving while others are left cleaning up the wreckage.

Which brings us back to Alanna Paige—fresh from dodging Chbosky’s bullets and straight into the spotlight, where she’s still singing the praises of Prop 87. No remorse, no introspection, just doubling down on her rhetoric like the past year of chaos was all part of some grand plan. She’s untouchable, at least for now, and her interview with Julia is a master class in how to avoid responsibility. Paige’s defense of the law is almost surreal at this point—especially with the city counting bodies like they’re stacking up for a dystopian body count.

And speaking of tragic losses, let’s take a moment to talk about Detective Kate Harper. Her daughter, Riley, was murdered under the shield of Prop 87, a law that allowed the killer to walk free by claiming self-defense. Kate’s interview was a raw, heart-wrenching reminder that these laws have real, devastating consequences. Unlike Alanna, who stands firm behind her soapbox, Harper’s pain is palpable, and her anger is justified. The interview is easily the most humanizing moment of this episode, grounding the madness in the heartbreaking reality of a mother who lost everything because of this twisted interpretation of justice.

With Harper’s grief, Teddy Barstow’s blurred lines of responsibility, and NO/ONE’s failure to save Kemp, Pittsburgh’s narrative feels less like a podcast and more like a ticking time bomb. Teddy’s admission that the show’s pressure on Julia Paige led to two men—Vince Harmon and Donovan Kemp—either shot or dead adds a disturbing layer to all of this. The question hangs in the air: Is this podcast solving anything or making things worse?

So, what now, Pittsburgh? It’s hard to say. The body count keeps rising, NO/ONE is out there somewhere, and Prop 87 has become the banner for both vigilantes and criminals alike. One thing is for sure—if Episode 9 is any indication, this city isn’t just on fire; it’s burning down, and no one seems to know how to put it out. Buckle up—because there’s no telling who or what will be left standing by the end of this.

Stay tuned, because EDGE NEWS will keep uncovering the truth—however messy, bloody, or painful it may be.
