SEASON 9 EPISODE 2: COMMITMENT

We're getting straight into our feelings this week - no messing around! We are commited! Which also happens to to be our theme this week. 

In this section, Agatha is at a NowNext conference/seminar/retreat as a favour to her mate Ginger, but she’s bored and annoyed. Braden, the founder, takes a special interest in her, which is even more annoying. Meanwhile, Penny, Baz, and Simon land in Chicago. Penny is excited to see Micah, but it turns out he broke up with her, or tried to, a long time ago. While Penny is being dealt this terrible blow, Baz teaches Simon how to drive a manual. It’s very cute and lovely. 

We’ve already read the first book in The Simon Snow Trilogy for season 6. We’re picking up the same overarching theme of expectations.

This episode was recorded on 21 January 2023.
