As if we had the option of using any other quote for this episode’s title. Eric leads a discussion of the end of “Penelope” and the end of Ulysses. Specifically, this episode covers sentences 7 and 8 (pages 633-41 and lines 1149-1611 in the Gabler edition).

The episode covers superstition, friendship (or the lack thereof), and the most famous passage in Ulysses. It concludes with what Eric considers the dirtiest bit we’ve covered yet.
