After my experience the other day being REDACTED trying to tell you all the truth of what happened to swap the GAS and GAPP teams, I’ve decided to focus today on fixing things.

There’s only one way to put things right, and that is… well, you have to solve this Tapa first to find out. (And then survive Supersized Saturday! :blob sweat:)

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
