19. She Could Have Taken Me

Uh oh, sisters! In this episode, we’re reconnecting with the world’s most normal twins. Chapter 34 finds us in the Seventh House’s lyctoral lab with Ianthe, Corona, and Babs’ dead body. Ianthe performs her villain monologue, reveals Corona’s “bad, sad, secret,” and commits a little light self-defence killing to follow up her main course of first-degree murder. We then take another Nine Houses sorting quiz and get a bit off topic, and wrap up with a discussion of the theory that Corona may have been Ianthe’s “true” cavalier.

A transcript for this episode is available here.
