SEASON 6 EPISODE 2: ABILITY
We’re joined by a very special guest this week - Jen V’s friend Frank shares a story about ability in today’s episode and then we have a whole bonus episode where he answers all our questions about English Boarding School Life (TM). Check it out - it’s really insightful!
In this ep, we’re reading chapters 10-18. We learn a bit more about Lucy and her weird friend Davy. The Mage considers making Simon leave school, for his own safety. Agatha has no idea how to tell Simon she doesn’t love-love him, romantic-styles. The Veil is lifting, and people are getting visitations, but Baz still hasn’t turned up. Simon is not coping– he visits Ebb, the goatherd, and searches the catacombs, to no avail.
This episode was recorded on 5 February 2022.
