SEASON 1 EPISODE 3: BELONGING & VULNERABILITY

We start our third episode off with a bit of a ponder about what it means to belong to a place, a person, a society, to the land you live on, and what living vulnerably means. Puck and Sean both belong to very different parts of Thisby, and we see this as Puck tries (and fails) to find a water horse to race on and ends up deciding to race on Dove. We wonder how much Gabe feels like he belongs to Thisby; we also talk about why Sean is the only person on the entire island who is able to sort out the capaill uisce. And of course, we get more Malvern villainy and some shockingly absentee brothering from Gabe. (Gabe.)

This episode was recorded on 21 November 2020.

Jen V did some excellent baking - there was a banana choc chip slice thing happening that Jenn D is going to get into. Check out this recipe.
