Caitlin and Alan debate if Christmas is Heaven or Hell, what counts as Micro Fiction, and wrap up the whole podcast! Maybe. We know nothing about English food at Christmas time, but that won’t stop us from talking about it. We sneak in a lot of Scarlette and Browne thoughts. We find The Apple Tree to be a very sad story- but so well done. Thank you to everyone who has listened to the podcast and followed us all the way to this ending!

Caitlin and Alan hang out in the kitchen and read the newspaper! We did it. We finished the last book of the series. What did it all mean?

Caitlin and Alan send Penelope Fittes off in a Lockwood and Co style! By burning her house down. We talk about skeleton’s in the closet, Skull getting out of his jar, and Battle-Damage Lockwood. In a change of pace for us- we talk about LockLyle as a ship. And living life to the fullest!

Caitlin and Alan get some corrections out in the open. Then we get back to talking about Quill Kipps! We can’t help ourselves. Later there are explosions- but fewer than Caitlin would like!

Caitlin and Alan finish fortifying Portland Row and watch Lucy and Lockwood take a break under the garden apple tree. We dig into Skull’s backstory and wonder if he could “move on” from his captivity. Is Rupert Gale the same man that Marissa knew when she was young, or his descendant?

Caitlin and Alan kick off the final book of Lockwood and Co “The Empty Grave” by Jonathan Stroud!

Caitlin and Alan put on their Ghost CSI Monster INC suits and finish The Creeping Shadow! We wish Carlyle and Skull would happen, but we are grateful Lockwood and Co is back. We debate who the unexpected visitor is, ponder how old the protagonists of another Jonathan Stroud series are, and have a flashback to the Lockwood and Co TV show. The trope of shining glasses usually indicates a lack of humanity Yin and Yang are not really anything like Lucy and Skull but this doesn’t slow Alan down If you haven’t read The Scarlett and Browne books by Jonathan Stroud then you should Gaslight, Gatekeep, and Girlboss meme might have always been about Penelope Fittes Follow Caitlin on Instagram @inferiorcaitreads Follow the show on Twitter @LockwoodPodcast Our theme music is “Magic Escape Room” by Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com.
