In this episode, Anastasia and Megan are reunited with Alex Stern and Darlington in Leigh Bardugo's sequel to Ninth House, Hell Bent. Through these characters, the hosts examine the moral obligations of a parent, if love is an emotion one can control, and how it all impacts the path to self-actualization.

Digressions include charcuterie boards, self-deprecating pop songs, and the Alex-Darlington sexual tension.
