A very heavy episode where Orna dives deep into Chris's story and Jenn and I differ on if it correlates to his paid cuddling sessions. I share an off-Couples Therapy story about Orna and Jenn wonders if she can do wonders with Kyle and Amanda from Summer House.

We dissect the emotional finale and the moment I realized that I was wrong about the West/Amanda timeline. Just like Bravo did, we transitioned into the new show and meet the new group of friends. We are wondering if the show will eventually de-center Kyle and Amanda as the central couple and show us more of the others.
