Hannah and Laura are sick, but they put themselves together just enough to cover the final portion of N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season and all of its shocking final moments. They also talk about Laura's trip to a museum and some of Hannah's favorite Taskmaster moments. Laura also is sad to learn that a certain author does not portray a character he has written in the television adaptation of his books.

*Apologies for audio issues on Laura's end. *
