SEASON 7 EPISODE 4: ACCEPTANCE
What’s that saying about understanding being the first step towards acceptance? We’re unpacking what it means to accept the hand life deals you as we read chapters 15-19 of Anna and the French Kiss this week.
In this section, St Clair gets messy-drunk and tells Anna something important, but she pretends it didn’t happen. Meredith and Anna do a lot of heavy lifting to carry St Clair through his funk, and he and Anna have a very intense Thanksgiving as the only two students left at SOAP.
This episode was recorded on 13 August 2022.
