It's Kit Connor's favourite episode!
Actually, it's many peoples all time favourite episode of Heartstopper, so it's nice to have the full crew back together to feel all the feels together. It's a very hard-hitting one, so obviously the conversations went in many different directions including Blu-Rays, home appliances and the NHS.
