SEASON 9 EPISODE 6: HEARTBREAK

Everything hurts and we’re dying - that’s right, the theme is heartbreak this week as we read chapters 34-40 of Wayward Son.

In this section, Simon, Baz and Penny encounter a dragon. Shep’s timely intervention is the only thing that gets them out of this jam, so they agree to let him be their guide. They head towards Hoover Dam where Shep’s got a “friend” who can help them out, then decide to head for Vegas, where the vampires all live.

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 26 February 2023.
