SEASON 4 EPISODE 7: KINDNESS

The world can always do with more kindness - and so could all of us! We reflect on what kindness means and how we can infuse more of it into our daily lives as we read chapters 25-28 of Fangirl this week.

Reagan sets some ground rules for Cath and Levi now that they are, actually, officially dating. Professor Piper has some encouragement and insight for Cath, who is still on the fence about actually finishing her assignment. Levi offers to take Cath home, but the drive gets hairy as a snowstorm descends, and he has to meet her dad and stay the night at her place. Wren is hospitalised for alcohol poisoning and Cath is forced into interaction with their mother.

This episode was recorded on 21 August 2021.
