11.b - "Dead Man's Switch"

Jenny and Ted discuss Infestation 11.b. Episode Notes: Jenny spools out “two years” of red string If this encounter didn’t trigger Theo, what (if anything) would? Aster is notable even if you aren’t all Purity about it Will the story even last another two years? How fixed are the futures Dinah sees?

Maybe this encounter with Jack is more different from Theo dealing with his parental figures in degree and not in kind Jenny comes up with names for AU Ward!Taylor Theo finds courage in spite of his insecurity, in a way that Ted sees as very gendered What Oni Lee can tell us about powers Jenny can’t even bring herself to predict that her blorbos will team up What’s Jack whistling?
