SEASON 11 EPISODE 8: DUTY

Our theme this week is duty which is something Simon Snow certainly thinks about a lot. What does it mean to do your duty? And where do you draw the line? We unpack that this week as we read chapters 64-73 of Any Way The Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell.

In this section, Agatha and Niamh head to Watford to check up on the pregnant doe. Simon, Baz, Penny and Shep break into the orphanage to find Pippa... and find Jamie Salisbury in the process. A plot is uncovered! They head for Watford as fast as they can, hoping they’re not too late to stop Smith Smith-Richards from unleasing his curse.

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.

This episode was recorded on 10 September 2023.
