Paige and Hannah present their various theories about what may make vampire skin so sparkly and hard. Hannah, a non-certified skin expert, tells us what skin is and what changes it might go through as a result of the transformation. Paige returns to tardigrades and presents an alternate explanation for that characteristic Twilight sparkle.
