It's a week of catchups here at the podcast, with plenty of interesting TV, but only a handful of new series to talk about. Noel and Kate kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and a disappointingly reunion-light reunion on RuPaul's Drag Race. Then we head to genre with Book 4 of Infinity Train, another The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and questionable developments over at Black Lightning, and we round out the week with the dramatic finale of Queen Sugar. Afterward, it's over to the DVD Shelf, where we dive into the wacky legal world of Ally McBeal.
