Jenny and Ted discuss Plague 12.x.5 (bonus).


Episode Notes:

  • It’s 10 minutes in before we tell you whose interlude this is
  • We deliver our verdict on this instance of enemies-to-lovers(?)
  • Jenny thinks that if Cauldron needs to call on reinforcements that fate has a loss in store for the Nine (and an ironic mission in store for Battery)
  • Battery’s cop brain and total lack of commitment to her stated values
  • A cautionary Tayl-or, if only she could read it
  • Was either leap of faith taken here worthwhile? As annoying as it is, maybe
  • Seems like the integrity problem extends all the way up to the top of the Protectorate, Legend
  • Heroes without HR are just eoes
  • Letting the sitcom trope play out does such a good job of riling up the reader
  • Did Battery gift of the magi herself here? Get the power to beat Madcap at the cost of letting him get away?
  • Ted really tried to give the ship the benefit of the doubt but then he remembered the likely age difference
  • Wouldn’t it be nice to fly? Too bad we can’t afford it!
  • We haven’t met any idle rich capes or business tycoon capes
  • Where are all the business tinkers?
  • Cauldron’s reach and aesthetics
  • What’s Cauldron for?
  • You can't be morally gray when you're creating Case 53s
  • We want the Case 53 backstories
  • The slippery slope of anonymity
  • Who is this Doctor, really?
  • We go on a vision quest with Battery… but was it a trigger event?
  • Cauldron powers vs. "real" powers
  • Samples and siblings
  • Cauldron capes have a mindfulness advantage
  • Does every voluntary Cauldron client make it out?
  • Battery's battery of reasons for being a battery
  • A long, slow self-kidnapping
  • Batteries and magnets
  • Worm getting global at last
  • Where are all the nemeses we're hearing about?
  • We contemplate our own enrollment as Cauldron clients
  • Coil's Cauldron favor could be a tidy opportunity
  • Oops, seems like Battery might end the world
