Today on Sagittarian Matters we are completing our Ultimatum Queer Love s2 coverage by talking with reality dating competition show enthusiast and expert, Joan Lubin. In the second part of the show, we recapped season 3 episode 7 of And Just Like That, the episode where everyone (except the known Broadway stars) sang karaoke,  The Woman shared a drink with Duncan, and then got wildly hostile when Miranda acknowledged reality.

You can hear us recapping the entire season of AJLT Patreon.com/nicolejgeorges.

Please join us as we discuss the fate of Nicole's trial wife, what counts as queer sex anyway, and what part of the reunion felt like  "a paid promotion by heterosexuality".
