Nghi Vo's reimagining of the classic is told through the eyes of Jordan Baker, an enigmatic side character in the original. Vo expands Jordan character to explore themes of race, sexuality, class, and magic with the hot and uproarious setting of New York becoming a literal underworld of intrigue.

To keep the conversation going beyond just one day, Episode 3's discussion focuses on intersectional feminism. The goal of feminism is to achieve gender equality and justice for people of all genders. To this end, feminism investigates and challenges gender-based injustice, inequality, and oppression.
