Preschool drama? Check. Employment anxiety? Check. A classic love triangle courtesy of the Hawthorne boys? You bet.

In this episode, Avery gains a new frenemy, Zara spirals, we get DNA results via youtube, and we want Oren to take a vacation.

Paolo and Enda Mode show up to film their new makeover show and Max just wants some tea PLEASE.

Meanwhile, Skye? Flawless as always.

We’re diving deep into chapters 21-40 and, in true Hawthorne Fasion, we end up with more questions than answers. Again. But don’t panic! Charlie’s got her sticky notes and she's on the case.

Buckle up, y’all — we’re goin’ to Texas!

Avery Grambs is just your average wiz-kid juggling homework, rent, and a goth sister who needs to learn to love herself. She's got big dreams of going to UConn and zero time for nonsense — until a man-child in a suit shows up and tells her she’s been summoned to Dallas… to hear a dead billionaire’s will.

Next thing she knows, Avery’s dodging threats, solving riddles, and living in a mansion full of beautiful, brooding trust fund boys who may or may not want her gone.

Is she the luckiest girl in the world?

Was her riddle loving mom (RIP) connected to the family?

Is she a long lost relative? If so, things are going to get awkward.

Join us as we leave Bayview behind and dive headfirst into luxurious and mind bending world of Hawthorne House — where the stakes are high, the vibes are weird, and the cowboys ride motorcycles.

Trigger Warning: Suicide.

This grouping of chapters deals heavily with this topic. Chapter 29 specifically includes several mentions of it as well as one of the characters becoming a victim of violence. If that is something you cannot listen to we understand and will hopefully see you back here next week.

Our time in Bayview is almost up—but the Murder Club isn’t getting an easy goodbye. While Nate reflects behind bars, pouring his feelings into some signature sad boy monologues, the rest of the crew—plus their unrepresented sisters and supermodel Kris—are on a mission to prove his innocence.

It all builds to a high-stakes confrontation and a heart-pounding chase through the woods. Because, really, what teen drama is complete without that?

Don't worry, Stan is okay!

After this we will be taking a break from Bayview and covering The Inheritance Games.
