So, whether you're looking to binge all 128 episodes or you "don't want to wait" and just want to get to the best ones, EW has rounded up 15 of the most imperative moments you can't miss.

It was approaching midnight on June 5, 1944, when the U.S.S. Texas entered the German minefield off the coast of France. Alongside the dreadnought were nearly three thousand ships crossing the English Channel to begin their assault on the Normandy coast. With all lights extinguished, their dark silhouettes were barely visible to the crew on the Texas deck. Dimly lit buoys marked the lanes minesweepers had cleared for the ships’ slow advance.

On a warm January day in San Antonio, guests are still trickling into the Dorothy Day House of Hospitality at the end of the lunch hour. Chris Plauche smiles and greets them by name as she hands them plates of barbecue and green beans donated by a local restaurant. A half dozen guests are scattered among picnic tables in the dining room, where light spills through oversize windows and glints off the wood floor. Some of them arrived in the morning by city bus.

Dr. Abbé Luvale Floribert was on duty when a desperate mother brought her wounded ten-year-old son to the hospital in Kayna, a village on the eastern edge of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The region is the epicenter of conflict among multiple rebel groups, and the hospital often sees patients with gunshot wounds. That day, the boy and his mother had been running from the fighting but had gotten caught in the cross fire.
The Texas School District That Can’t Stop Growing

Dec 12, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Robyn Ross

By the middle of September, Kenzie Kingston has already shown half a dozen new students around her TikTok-famous campus. The senior and student ambassador at Walnut Grove High School, in Prosper, about 35 miles north of downtown Dallas, is used to hearing them react with a single word: wow. From the outside, Walnut Grove, which opened in 2023, is a block-long wall of two-story beige brick, broken in the middle by the building’s neoclassical-style entrance.
These Schools Brought Opportunity to Black Texans During Segregation. Only a Few Still Stand.

In the early 1940s, Elroy Williams attended third grade in a simple wooden building in rural Bastrop County. The structure lacked indoor plumbing and relied on a wood stove for heat. But the walls were lined with windows that let in plenty of light and could be opened in the warmer months to create a pleasant cross breeze. The students’ parents brought firewood to the school in winter, and some of the older kids, in seventh and eighth grade, helped cut it to size.

By Robyn Ross / Photo by Sabrina Guyton-WrightAlthough she was raised in the heart of Chicago, Dr. Jo-Elle Mogerman ’92 grew up surrounded by nature. On warm evenings, she sat on the porch of her family’s bungalow, watching squirrels forage for food. She dug up worms in her tiny yard and listened as her father identified the neighborhood birds: blue jays, robins, house sparrows. Hear that song? he would ask. That’s a cardinal. It didn’t matter that her father didn’t have a high school diploma.
A Cross in the Road — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER

As a board-certified chaplain, Deborah Reeves usually preferred listening over public speaking. But the night of January 29 was different. The school board in her town of 4,700, a short drive from Austin, Texas, was poised to make a momentous decision — one Reeves feared would erode the boundary between church and state. That night, the board would vote on whether to allow religious chaplains to serve in public schools in the roles traditionally held by guidance counselors.
