About this episode
The episode discusses the differing accounts of how Bilbo acquired the Ring and explores the similarities between Frodo and Bilbo.
Why did Bilbo tell two different versions of how he acquired the Ring? Gandalf becomes suspicious and we learn more about how Frodo is more similar to Bilbo than we thought.
