SEASON 9 EPISODE 4: ESCAPE
We love escaping into Wayward Son every week, and there’s certainly a lot of escaping happening in chapters 21-27 as well. From feelings, from talking, from reality… good thing it’s our theme this week so we can get stuck in!
In this section, our faves have some fun exploring the Ren Faire until they find some actual vampires taking advantage of the festival. They immediately swing into action and slay them all. While they make a quick getaway, someone is on their trail. They try to lose their pursuer, but they find themselves in a Quiet Zone, surrounded by weres…
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.
This episode was recorded on 4 February 2023.
