Family Ties and Teen Frustrations

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Emotional Baggage,” in which Connie is dismayed to learn that her Aunt Helen is coming to town. Connie refuses to stay under the same roof as Helen and therefore flees to Whit’s End, intending to hide there for the duration of the visit. But the dynamic between Connie and her aunt is a layered one, and Whit does his best to tease out the nuance. We have to be real with you all, this is a messy one. Come unpack it with us! Also, a child’s elaborate conspiracy web, and psychoanalyzing our juicy workplace grudges.
