Note: The interview portion with Deborah Pratt begins at 01:54:16. Thanks for listening!

Synopsis: When Ben leaps into an Indian family to try to prevent their beloved family restaurant from burning down, he finds an emotional connection with their matriarch through memories of his own; Magic and Jenn share a surprising revelation with Ian.

Sometimes in family, there's disagreements, and this particular episode of Fate's Wide Wheel reflects that. Sam & Dennis have different points of view on Episode 13 of the new series, and there is certainly spirited discussion in this episode.

After our discussion of the episode, we talk with again with Family Style director, Deborah Pratt! We got some wonderful insight on the episode, talk about some wonderful moments that had to be cut from the episode for time, and even take a few minutes to talk about Sam and Dennis' differing viewpoints.

We have updated merch, including tees, mugs, stickers and more!

In the first episode back from the fall break, Ben is Jack Armstrong, bodyguard to 1970s music sensation Carly Farmer. Someone is trying to assassinate Carly and every time Ben prevents her death, a new time and circumstance of her demise looms soon in the future. Meanwhile, Ben and Addison and the rest of Quantum HQ grapples with Ben’s revelation that the purpose of his going rogue was to save Addison.

After our conversation, we interview QL producer and writer Drew Lindo. Drew penned this episode along with Episode 3 - Somebody Up There Likes Ben. We discuss his work on QL, his previous work, and what's in store for the rest of season 1 and beyond.
