Today we’re covering episodes 1.20, “Someone to Watch Over Me” and 1.21, “Monsters in the end.” We discuss dolls, ableist violence, dentist gossip, and being “allies” in our high school GSAs. We try to remember things about the Jackie storyline and lament the fact that the N.A.T. Club doesn’t actually have anything to do with A or the plot. The episode ends with Deepa bringing up something ridiculous Cameron did in 2020. Unlike Cameron, act normal bitches!
