I wasn’t as much of a fan of this one as I was Last Night at the Telegraph Club, but it was a very different type of story. I really dislike cheating storylines, so that was a big part of it. I did enjoy the discussions of art, space, and music, and that was definitely a highlight and contributed to the higher rating, but again I couldn’t even really feel invested in Steph’s relationship with Aria. Was so happy about the callbacks to Telegraph Club though!
