In today’s episode, MissSnowfox and Xan talk about the eleventh episode of season two: The Witch’s Quickening. Join us for a little under 2.5h of questions over questions, a lot of rage about everything, and the regular amount of nitpicking just with fewer headcanons to fix any of the issues, sadly.

Also, if you find it strange that Connor has things to say during the talkback and then not for the rest of the episode, it’s because we used the talkback recording of a different episode and added it to this episode because tech failures mean that the Costumes episode for misc. characters wasn’t fully recorded but we managed to salvage this massive talkback.
