Summary
We're talking about the worst possible thing that can happen to a romance heroine today (it's always the heroines) -- ruination! Whether the hero did it, another man did it, or society simply decided that she's ruined, there's simply nothing to be done about it...except revenge, a triumphant return, or the crowning of a new reigning queen. We cover all three here, with almost entirely new to the pod books, and even get some contemporaries into the mix!

| 0:02.1 | I wonder if it's the same thing I was thinking about. You go first. |
| 0:04.9 | I don't know. Were you thinking that you wish you'd been compromised in a ballroom? |
| 0:09.4 | No, I was thinking it's funny how every single fucking one of our episodes lately really feels like a metaphor for our internal struggle. Is everything ruined? |
| 0:22.4 | Do you wish you were on the run and could escape this? |

| 0:33.5 | Everything seems to go fine if you're compromised in a ballroom. |
| 0:41.5 | Sure. I'm sure that's totally how it worked. Yeah. |

| 1:28.0 | I proposed a different idea first and then we came, |
| 1:33.1 | we settled on this because we're going to hold that other idea for another episode because I actually, as I was thinking about this episode and like doing a little rereading and like |
