Episode 25: Highway Catfight

The long-awaited second half of part two of Dirty Laundry, which features Lance’s dad outing his bisexual son to a homophobic man and Keith and Lance getting into a very logistically implausible fight by the side of a highway. This part of the story has been driving us particularly insane ever since we first read this fic and we’ve got a lot to talk about. For our closing segment we took a little (virtual) trip to Mesa del Caballo to get a better sense for the location this story’s author so lovingly described. Content warnings: a fair amount of in-universe homophobia/biphobia this chapter, plus some out-of-universe discussion from us about the author’s poor handling of the topic. There’s also some mild violence this time. (Additional music credits for this episode: “Passionate Duelists” by Shinkichi Mitsumune.)
