Janielle wrestles with her broken, no-good, dead-Dad plot, with help from plot expert Professor Peter Brooks. Carson and Jan confront the aftermath of a plot twist.
Carson and Janielle take inventory of all the potential third act breakthroughs for this story: casserole drop-offs, smoking ceremonies, full-circles, and beauty anyway.
