GAPtheseries 08: Sex is a Rest Stop
This episode we try to keep up with Sam and Mon as they move forward in their relationship, focused on the completion of their mission. Of course, they need a little help from their friends, and a few threats, before they're able to reach their goal. The joy over this new and beautiful part of their relationship is short lived though. Kirk's secrets are taking a toll on Mon and all the gossip is too much for Sam.

The Best of Bert and Ernie
The podcast isn’t going anywhere, but this is a good-bye and the start of a new beginning. We share our bittersweet good-byes to each other. It’s difficult to capture our feelings into words so we’ll leave it to some wise words from the OGs Bert and Ernie.
Ernie: I wanted to thank you for getting balloons at the park today. They’re so beautiful aren’t they Bert?
Bert: Yes, yes they are Ernie.
Ernie: Can we keep them forever and ever Bert?
Bert: Ernie, they’re not going to last forever and ever.
Ernie: They’re not? Why not?
Bert: Well because they’re filled with air and little by little they’re going to lose their air.
Ernie: Lose their air? Oh no! If they lose their air they’ll get smaller and smaller won’t they Bert?
That’s right Ernie, that’s right.
Ernie: It’ll be so sad. When you think of a balloon that starts off all fat and floaty in the air ends up all wrinkly and small. It’s sad Bert!
Bert: Ugh, why me?
Ernie: Wait Bert, I’ve got a great idea.
Bert: Oh, yeah…
Ernie: Why don't we give our balloons their freedom?
Bert: Their freedom? What do you mean?
Ernie: We’ll open the window and we’ll let them go. So that the last sight that we see of our balloons is while they’re all fat and floaty.
…
Ernie: Goodbye balloons! Look at them go! Floating up to the sky...
Goodbye. Goodbye old friends, have a nice trip!
Ernie: Isn't that a great sight?

We have some water cooler talk about the writers strike and why it’s important for LGBT fans to support.

Deny thy mother and refuse thy name.
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love

‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Vampire.
What’s Vampire? It is not fang nor blood
…nor any other part
Belonging to the undead. O be some other name.
What’s in a name? That which we call a peach
By any other name would smell as sweet

Ismail gets thrust into their hell week, having conflict with almost everybody - Ismail bails on Kieu My during the waffle fundraiser, throws Zoe's relationship with Finn into the spotlight, leaves Sascha hanging and places the blame on Lou and Constantin (who, Isi should rightfully be mad at after that kiss). With all of this conflict, I'm hoping that we'll begin to see greater introspection, growth, and responsibility for Ismail.

Druck 703: Who is Ismail?
Honestly, does Ismail even know who they are? We're three weeks into Druck season 7 and still feeling really lost as to who Ismail is as a person, their desires, motivations, etc. Is this intentional? Because Ismail doesn't know who they are themselves or is the change in the writer's room playing out disastrously this season? One thing stays the same, though and it's that Kieutou, cutest couple ever, keep feeding us in their IG stories

Druck 702: Multitudes We Hold
