Mel & Jill Geek Out

Vanderpump Rules, Season 11, Episode 2: Poor Ann

Mel tries Nerd Gummy Clusters for the first time - and she actually kinda likes them. Episode 2 starts off with Sandoval being back from filming the realty show. He wants to throw himself a birthday party at the house, and makes Ann be the messenger between him and Ariana about the details. Sandoval meets up with Schwartz, and the convo does not go well. We learn that Pump is closing after 10 years (bummer, no more pumptinis). Randomly, Sandoval invites James to his birthday party, and let’s just say it doesn’t end well. The girls all go to headline Emo night!

Iron Flame, Pt 2: Don’t Be Mad, Go Read a Book

The besties go through chapters 4-7 of Iron Flame. 
 
Skip the chit chat and jump ahead to the 14:30 mark.
 
Upon a truly classic shadow daddy dramatic entrance, Xaden, Violet, and the rest of the crew begin the weaving of truth and lies to explain their absence. Violet has some interesting moments with her mom, and straight up yells in Dain’s face (very satisfying to say the least). Xaden heads off to his first duty station, and Rhiannon is named Squad Leader. Violet is still just made at the world. We learn about the big secret of second year - Rider Survival Course. Mel is not a fan. Violet heads down to the Archives to see if Jesinia will help her learn more about the wards around Basgiath.

A Court of Silver Flame, Part 6: A Tale of Two Bargains

Jump to minute 18 to skip Mel & Jill trying to name Jill’s new Jeep.
 
Our three favorite ladies are thrust into the Illyrian Blood Rite and are forced to survive. In the meantime, Cassian is a wreck, but they learn that Eris has been taken by Briallyn. Azriel and Cassian run off to rescue him. Before they leave, they learn that Rhysand and Feyre made the stupidest bargain known to man, pretty much meaning if Feyre dies, so does Rhys. Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn end up finding each other with the help of their friendship bracelets, and work towards getting to Ramiel and surviving the Blood Rite while fighting off mean Illyrians. Cassian ultimately gets captured by Briallyn and is forced to possibly turn on Nesta as she defends Emerie and Gwyn as they finish the climb. In the end, Nesta unleashes her power on Briallyn and saves Cassian. They rush to Feyre’s side because she’s gone into labor early and is dying. Through yet another annoying bargain, Nesta trades her powers to save Feyre and the baby. And they all live happily ever after (for now).
