Saint Barbara is a classic example of an independent teen living her life the way she wanted... and getting beheaded for it. She gives a whole new meaning to the old coming-of-age trope where the kid says "my dad's going to kill me for this." Ok! I'm done with the jokes! Just listen to the episode.
