Noah’s been keeping this on the back burner for a while, in another classic moment of Jade begging him to watch something until finally forcing his hand.

Emma gone? That means it’s time to roll out another Saw episode! Join us for Saw 3, the movie that Noah says “really kicks off the soap opera that Saw works best as.”
