With some hosts that have read the book by Nancy Springer and some that have not, Adaptation covers the film adaptation Enola Holmes (2020), complete with a rant about corsetry and concerns about the tone of Holmesian mysteries.

Question of the Week: Do we think Enola should have clearly solved the mystery before the final showdown? Or did Sherlock "win" by getting there without a reveal?

The Adaptation hosts discuss the characterization, modernization, and representation in the 2020 Netflix series, The Baby-Sitters Club.

Question of the Week: Do you want a season 2? What would you like to see covered in that season (doesn't have to be something from the books)?

**Disclaimer** Kendyl uses "queer" as a catch-all term to describe Ann M. Martin in this episode since she doesn't know precisely how she identifies. In hindsight, we realize that some are not comfortable with this term and it should not have been used for a someone who has not first used it for themselves.
