Even though Emily secured the funding for the new building, she still had a massive uphill battle before she could actually buy it. A ridiculous number of unlucky things happened on the journey to owning a retail and production space for Drift. This final episode tracks the progress of how Drift bought the building despite the whole world showing signs that it might not happen after all.
