    Basically solved the whole thing without autocheck... but not knowing HMO, I kept convincing myself that "toe billing" is a thing because TAPES at 36A had to be right... right? Also not being sure about the CEE/ESSENES crossing got me to cave in and use autocheck.
    AWLS was a great clue but it didn't trick me... unlike INITIAL, that was a great misdirection.

          Nice Friday-level puzzle. The whole grid was great but I especially liked CREEPYPASTA and CALIFORNICATION.
