PSA- sorry this is up late folks!

It's the finale of our cult season, and we talk about an officially supernatural free season, how this years finale compared to last years, and of course what we thought of the ending?

The show sort of redeemed itself this week, but still is on shaky footing. We talk about the weird Kai sex scene, whether the twists this week were surprising, and what in the world was going on with Winter wearing a dunce hat.
