The rewatch series continues and it's finally time to talk about the Bananas Backpack! Plus everything else that happens on season 20, Cutthroat. Which is to say, a lot! What a great season this is, the last of a transitional period for the show, and the dawn of the greatest run in show history. We've got Abram & Cara falling hard, Laurel dominating for the second season in a row, a Blue team looking destined for greatness before TJ brings in CT to ruin it all, Brandon as sacrificial lamb, Paula getting screwed again, and so much more!
