This week, Jen and CC join Jo in breaking down the penultimate episode of season 5 "Damocles Pt 1." Jen and CC took that dump truck of fandom salt and made some snow angels while Jo emphatically explained her theory of why everything in S5 makes complete and total sense.

Shoutout to #NoteKru for suffering thru her own salt to listen.
