In the Bleak Midwinter 6 Analysis: Grave (with Be My Friend Podcast) Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

While preparing to draw blood from Anya, Delta explains that the building was once a top notch science lab and we speculate whether Zoe worked there. He seems bitter about the founder.

Anya is nervous, and Delta notices and is unexpectedly kind.

While drawing blood, he tells her how his sister Zeta was torn apart despite wanting peace, and mentions their new general. We wonder if it is Alexei.

Anya says that she will tell Delta about her sister when he tells her about his siblings and the war.

Show notes

Sam and Marshall (or Ariadne and Dion) are in Sam's beautiful world, waiting for the dragon egg to hatch. Marshall notices that Sam seems upset, and Sam tells him about her concerns about Charles and his rules.

She gets upset, and Marshall knocks at her porch door in real life. Sam reveals that she likes Charles when they are alone, but not when they are in public and he is evaluating her. Marshall helpfully asks if she's told Charles how she feels, but Sam is too fearful.

Purple Hyacinth 132 Analysis: Safe Secret (with Bundin) Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Will searches the archive room for Thalia Lin's XX16 death records and sees none.

The next morning, a tired and disheveled Will tells Lauren that he and Darcy won't be marrying. We wonder how long the miscommunication will drag out between him and Kym.

Lauren asks him what's bothering him, and he tells her about Rafael's accusation. Despite Will literally telling her he is sick of being left in the dark, Lauren opts NOT to tell him what she suspects about Rafael.

Will wants to enlist Lauren's detective skills, but March calls them for a meeting. He tells them about Lukas' recovery and asks kindly about Lauren. A lie he says clues us in that he doesn't believe Lauren's alibi and that he does think Lauren could be Lune. However, he won't pursue it, and we debate the possible meanings of many of his lines, including the one about no reliable Phantom Scythe informants. Sus, but how?

Lauren and Kym walk to visit Lukas, but Lauren takes Kym on a detour to Allendale Park to talk.

Show notes

Charles sweetly wakes Sam, who makes it hard for him to leave to his mysterious task.

Marshall, pushing himself to run, sees Charles leaving the apartment building. A call from Eva takes him to a fancy restaurant where he immediately questions his sister's motives.

She tells him that one of their clients, the video game developer Strife Games, needs more concept artists.

Seeing Marshall's self-doubt and hesistation, Eva uses their mother to pile on the guilt. It works.

At the office, Mr. Lawson (?) receives a text: Step one, complete.

Purple Hyacinth 131 Analysis: Salient Scars (with Bundin) Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

Will and Kym wait at the theater. Kym asks about the date, which Will almost forgot about, and hears Will praise Neyra. Surely this will lead to miscommunication in the future.

They scuffle, and as they walk down the hallway, Will spots a picture of Thalia in XX16, a year before the ATST. He doubles back to question the director, who informs him she disappeared suddenly.

We transition from serious Will to serious Rafael, who is snitching on Kieran. We discover the appalling fact that Kieran was a slave to Apostle X and killed him.

Redcliff quickly puts some pieces together (damn his cleverness) and sinisterly orders Rafael to find Kieran's weakness. !!!!
