SEASON 11 EPISODE 10: LOVE
Here we are again, at the end of another season! It always comes around too fast. This week, we read chapters 84-epilogue of Any Way The Wind Blows through the theme of love and wrap up our time with this book. It's the perfect theme to end our journey with this wonderful series!
In this section, Lady Ruth and Jamie invite Simon and Baz over for a celebration lunch where Simon commits a sword faux pas... or does he? Turns out Simon's picked up the family Excalibur, which can only be moved by a Salisbury, which means that Simon Snow is Lucy’s lost child. Finally, a resolution! Penny takes Shepard home for dinner - they like each other and it’s very great and cute. And we get a glimpse of Agatha's future - she's moved to Watford where she keeps the goats, and she's content with trading in her wand for a walking stick.
This is the final part of the Carry On Trilogy - you can check out season 6 for Carry On and season 9 for Wayward Son.
