We open with quick TV catch-ups, including Deli Boys being canceled and Victor and Sona’s thoughts on season two, then Victor discusses Bret Easton Ellis’s The Shards: its origins as an Ellis-narrated podcast and novel, the abandoned HBO pilot (with Luca Guadagnino), and the FX/Ryan Murphy version, which Victor found strong in episode one but unlikely to hold up after Ellis rejected the later direction. We then dive into episode six, “They Make a Noise Like Feathers” (a Waiting for Godot reference), praising its suspense/comedy balance, performances, and feminist perspective. We recap Kat/“Grace” at a sex-worker shelter, Alice’s undercover improvisation and shower trauma, Alden/Danny/Choi’s comedic interrogation, Nora confronting Ed over Jay Easton and a buried “no-face” victim, the SO team being pulled, Kat’s escape attempt, Marshall’s ambush, Kat shooting Marshall, and Danny discovering a flash drive of victim videos including a file labeled “Alice,” raising timeline questions.
