You Probably Think This Story’s About You

Show Notes

[Chapter 8 of 8] Brittani confronts the fallout from Kanon's manipulation, emerging stronger and more resilient. She finds unexpected power in embracing her vulnerability, leaning on her community and trusting in herself — just like granny taught her. As the family continues to gather for their cherished 30-year Sunday dinner tradition, they grapple with unresolved issues, acknowledging that some questions may never find answers, and that grief is a lingering reminder of love. Sunday dinner will fix everything. As this chapter closes, one question remains: who’s this story about? Maybe we’ll find out next season.
