  In this paper, we propose a new gravity dual for a $2$d BCFT with two
conformal boundaries by introducing a defect that connects the two
End-of-the-World branes. We demonstrate that the BCFT dual to this bulk model
exhibits a richer lowest spectrum. The corresponding lowest energy eigenvalue
can continuously interpolate between $-\frac{\pi c}{24\Delta x}$ and $0$ where
$\Delta x$ is the distance between the boundaries. This range was inaccessible
to the conventional AdS/BCFT model with distinct boundary conditions. We
compute the holographic entanglement entropy and find that it exhibits three
different phases, one of which breaks the time reflection symmetry. We also
construct a wormhole saddle, analogous to a $3$d replica wormhole, which
connects different boundaries through the AdS bulk. This saddle is present only
if the BCFT is non-unitary and is always subdominant compared to the
disconnected saddle.
