IT'S THE FIRST DRESDEN-FILES LIVE-READ EPISODE!

I'm so excited about this one, you guys. Can I tell you the gods-honest truth? The first time I got to this reveal, I didn't care. Not even kidding. I hate secret-sibling reveals almost always, and while I didn't hate this, I just managed to stay neutral. I should have cared, because it matters a whole lot, but I didn't. I think you will all be glad to hear that RoShawn doesn't react the way that I did.

She really cares, and she starts theorizing about all kinds of shit once I'm done with the live-read. The main thing that she's caught up on is the fact that in the soul-gaze Harry sees his mother and she tells him that she did something to weaken Lord Raith, so RoShawn brainstorms all the possible methods and outcomes of whatever it is that Margaret did. Also, she's kind of chilled by the fact that Lord Raith must have known who Harry was the moment he saw him, and started plotting how to kill him immediately once he realized that Lara had given Harry her protection.

Also, we learn about how Lord Raith controls his daughters, and the whole thing is so ghastly that it makes us both more invested in how things turn out for Inari, Thomas's little sister. The poor thing doesn't know what she is, and is unknowingly sent to seduce and kill Dresden...but it turns out that if she waits and has sex out of love for her first time, she will be free of the demon. That's a pretty big deal.

Thanks so much to all of you for listening, and I hope you enjoy the show!
