[48 STM]
Off to a great start, but bad edges, a longer COLL.
A shorter solve was not in the cards for me...
x2 y2 // inspect
R2 U' L' B // 222
F U2 F' U F' // FL pair
M2 B' R B // dFR square
B U2 B' // set up for insert
U R D Rw' U Rw D' R2 U' R // VHLS to avoid 4-flip
U' R U R' U F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R // COLL
U2 M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U' // LSE (kinda freestyle since everything was oriented and phased)
