In this week’s episode, Sammy leads the ladies into the cave of England’s most feared folktale: Black Annis. As the Blacklist is poured, the ladies praise unsung women in history, gallop in their new horse room, and give the Oscar to the most talented unknown Harry Potter child. So grab your favorite red blend and get ready to move that bus, Ladies Who Carve Their Own Caves will surely give you nightmares tonight (but, like, in a fun way!).
