SEASON 9 EPISODE 10: FAILURE
Well, here we are again! We're reading chapters 60-Prologue of Wayward Son through the theme of failure, and wrapping up the book. It's been a big ol journey.
In this section, Baz thinks Simon is dead. Simon is trying to rally, but he can’t get up, not until he hears Baz calling for him. Shep gets Agatha and Penny out of the SUV, and they come to the rescure with magic. Shep comes up with a getaway plan, and once they get somewhere with magic they heal each other. Once back in San Diego, Simon and Baz have a moment by the ocean. Shep tells Penny he’s cursed. And then it turns out Watford is in trouble!
In case you missed it, we read the first book in The Simon Snow Trilogy for season 6. We’re picking up the same overarching theme of expectations.
