SEASON 9 EPISODE 9: COMMUNICATION

What we've got here is failure to communicate... like actually, that's the whole book. This week, we're reading chapters 54-59 of Wayward Son through the theme of communication!

In this section, Lamb helps the crew get to an alleged NowNext lab in the desert to rescue Agatha… but it turns out to be a big fat trap. Simon goes into fight mode and there are gunshots and it’s terrible and Baz is freaking out. Penny and Agatha get trapped in a car until Agatha finds the means to rescue herself. And a vampires tries to bite Shep, but it really doesn’t go very well for him. 

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.
