SEASON 6 EPISODE 6: INSTINCT
What does instinct mean to you? Is it something you trust implicitly, or something you question? That’s what we’re pondering this week as we read chapters 45-53.
Penny and Baz are the dream team snark duo we never knew we needed. Baz and Simon decide to try more of the magic-sharing and end up in… magical space. Agatha uninvites Simon to family Christmas, and Baz steps in with an offer, but it just causes a fight. Simon learns who Nicodemus is and immediately runs to find Baz.
