”Ripe” (Sharp Objects Episode 4 Recap)

Greek mythology, hallucinogenic broom riding, ancient demons -- or maybe helpful deities, and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” all come up this week.

Does anything happen this week? Is this owl what it seems? Which daughter is dangerous? Who’s coded and who’s a creep? We attempt to bear some fruit from these questions.

Apparently the Lodge Spirits were interfering with Jarret’s mic this time. Sorry for that!
