The girls discuss some of their favorite moments from the past season and how much things have changed (and in some ways stayed the same) over the past year. They discuss how mindsets between men and women change over time when it comes to making commitments. The girls also discuss the idea of being alone vs dating and if it's just a defense mechanism to not feel the need for anyone. For the last episode of the season the girls welcome the hilarious and talented Stefanie Yunger! She gives updates on her marriage and shares some controversial opinions about Italian food. The trio dives into Stef's childhood and how she realized she wanted to act and make people laugh. She also discusses growing up in a Miami and being surrounded by different cultures and how that turned into a love of playing with different languages and accents. They also talk about the struggles with social media not allowing people to ever make mistakes despite that being part of the human experience and how an anti-growth society can be dangerous. The girls also talk about how in dating, people can judge too quickly based on other people's opinions without forming one of their own. Stef shares the cute story of how her and her husband met. She goes on to talk about a recent break from social media and how content creators don't always have the support they need to take a break when starting to burnout. She shares in detail about some of the issues she has with Instagram and their algorithms and how they treat creators. They also discuss about making content for yourself and not always based on what your followers want but on what makes you happy. She talks about the importance of self-love and how supportive her family was of her content break. They also discuss the importance of Shabbat in this day and age of constant content consumption. They talk about the connection between Judaism and social media and how there can often be an emphasis on growth and not enough emphasis on the importance of being temporarily stagnant. Stef shares about her proud Jewish identity and how it's changed throughout her life. They end with a game called "5 Speedy Spoofs with Stef" - where they give her scenarios to perform in the voice of her different characters.
