Note: At the top of the episode, Sabrina says Tom Swift premieres on Monday. That's incorrect. The series premieres Tuesday, May 31 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

Happy Tom Swift premiere day! Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens are along for the ride with this Nancy Drew spin-off which means they've officially kicked off their Drew Crew era...kind of. They've seen his intro episode, but it's a start. Let them tell it, Tom's the new icon in town, The CW has a star in Tian Richards, and Ashleigh Murray is getting everything she deserves as Zenzi Fullerton.

Also on deck: CW news including Charisma Carpenter's upcoming role on Dynasty, Michael and Sabrina are finally back to their The Flash reviews (Also, #LetIrIsBeGreat is a campaign they're promoting. All love always to Candice Patton), Reed has a Dynasty update, and Sabrina didn't catch up on All American and All American: Homecoming like she promised BUT she did watch the finales. Reed is living for confusing paternity drama happening at Bringston University while Sabrina's been left with questions. Good thing the show has a season 2!

The Candice Patton Effect

The Spiral has finally made the trip to Horseshoe Bay, and they’re not leaving anytime soon. Yes, that’s right. Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have started their watch of Nancy Drew. They’re members of the Drew Crew now. Someone get them a mug from The Claw!



Also on deck: A lot of teasing. They teased The Winchesters pilot (don’t come for them CW, not a spoiler was mentioned), “Return to Rivervale,” and a special podcast about Candice Patton. They also lamented CW’s flop era, asserted Superman and Lois’ place in the Arrowverse, gave the Best Boy his due, and dragged the lack of international licensing deals for many of CW’s shows.
