SEASON 9 EPISODE 5: CURIOSITY
We’re channeling Ted Lasso by being curious and not judgemental this week as we read chapters 28-33 of Wayward Son through the theme of curiousty!
In this section, there’s a nasty fight but our trio manages to escape with Shep’s help. He offers to be their guide but Penny shuts him down repeatedly. They ditch Shep at the first opportunity. While Simon and Baz discuss going home, Penny gets a voicemail from Agatha, who has finally gotten the vibe that NowNext is kind of… a cult. A scary one. And maybe Agatha needs help after all…
In case you missed it, we read the first book in The Simon Snow Trilogy for season 6. We’re picking up the same overarching theme of expectations.
This episode was recorded on 11 February 2023.
