Jenny and Ted discuss Tangle 6.9.

Episode Notes:

• The shoe drops on our emotions, sparing the plot
• It’s nowhere near as bad as 5.4 for Jenny
• At the spoiler warning, skip ahead 30 seconds if you don’t want to hear how this is different than what happens in Buffy season 2 
• Which came first, the chicken(ing out of talking to Danny) or the egg(knowledgement of her Under-desires)
• The comb-over as slippery slope
• Jenny finishes the letter
• Wait, Taylor likes friends more than the mission? Taylor??
• Brian gives Taylor a vision of online school, but Coil gives her a vision of villainous good
• It might not be that relevant right now, but would Taylor admit to wanting glory?
• Jenny’s on high alert for the snake man behind the snake curtain
• If the choice is between Taylor and Skitter, she can only choose Skitter
• Danny underestimates Taylors power… as a young adult
• Look, no one’s gonna listen about their comb-over when you’re re-traumatizing them 
• Is parental “bullying” inevitable?
• Bye, Emma!
• Now we get to see Taylor be a full Undersider! Yay!!
• We're almost at peak fanfiction time, probably
• This chapter is breaking our hearts with the mom stuff
• Taylor's struggle in this chapter is for authenticity
• The allure of black and white thinking and the freedom of villainy
• Why is Coil so invested in Bitch, anyway?
• Jenny figures out who Regent's dad is, probably
• The name game!
