Season 9

S9 Episode 6 - Heartbreak (Wayward Son)

Everything hurts and we’re dying - that’s right, the theme is heartbreak this week as we read chapters 34-40 of Wayward Son.
In this section, Simon, Baz and Penny encounter a dragon. Shep’s timely intervention is the only thing that gets them out of this jam, so they agree to let him be their guide. They head towards Hoover Dam where Shep’s got a “friend” who can help them out, then decide to head for Vegas, where the vampires all live.
In case you missed it, we’ve already read the first book in the trilogy, Carry On, and you can listen here.

S9 Episode 5 - Curiosity (Wayward Son)

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…

S9 Episode 4 - Escape (Wayward Son)

We love escaping into Wayward Son every week, and there’s certainly a lot of escaping happening in chapters 21-27 as well. From feelings, from talking, from reality… good thing it’s our theme this week so we can get stuck in! 
In this section, our faves have some fun exploring the Ren Faire until they find some actual vampires taking advantage of the festival. They immediately swing into action and slay them all. While they make a quick getaway, someone is on their trail. They try to lose their pursuer, but they find themselves in a Quiet Zone, surrounded by weres…

S9 Episode 3 - Freedom (Wayward Son)

We're all about freedom this week as we read chapters 14-20 of Wayward Son. 
In this section, our intrepid trio discover that America is actually really, really big. While this is joyful and amazing to Simon, Baz is supremely unimpressed by the Midwest. Penny remains too crushed to pay attention to the scenery (or lack thereof). They decide to press on to California, with a wee detour to Omaha to visit a Ren Faire! Meanwhile in California, Agatha is even more bored and annoyed but she can’t quite extricate herself from Braden’s attentions.

S9 Episode 2 - Commitment (Wayward Son)

We're getting straight into our feelings this week - no messing around! We are commited! Which also happens to to be our theme this week. 
In this section, Agatha is at a NowNext conference/seminar/retreat as a favour to her mate Ginger, but she’s bored and annoyed. Braden, the founder, takes a special interest in her, which is even more annoying. Meanwhile, Penny, Baz, and Simon land in Chicago. Penny is excited to see Micah, but it turns out he broke up with her, or tried to, a long time ago. While Penny is being dealt this terrible blow, Baz teaches Simon how to drive a manual. It’s very cute and lovely.
