SEASON 6 EPISODE 7: TRADITION

The World of Mages is steeped in tradition, and so is Pitch Manor, so it's handy that it's our theme as we get to hang out there with Simon this week!

We're reading chapters 54-63 this week. In this section, Simon and Baz share information. Penny does her own research and hangs out with Agatha, but it doesn’t really work for Agatha. Meanwhile, in Lucy’s memories, Davy uncovers a prophecy! Baz and Simon find Nicodemus but it doesn’t go as planned, and in order to save Baz from himself, Simon does something really drastic. (It’s kissing.)

This episode was recorded on 12 March 2022.
