Summary
Jacqueline has made it "home" to her preferred London rental after a harrowing journey through Ireland and Amsterdam*. Kate has left London where she saw the second ghost of her life and sawed through a grisly steak at a beloved restaurant. Which do you fear more? Oversalted or undersalted. Negotiating the greek drama of which hag was spared a cold or fated to have one. Bemoaning the phones, the fight for our lives. Making positive change means mourning years lost to the previous way. Jacqueline continues to push her agenda about the false mental construct of the nose's interior to Kate's continued disgust.
Act 4 Product Corner (Premium Subscription Only) Kate tempts Jacqueline with a new lip stain, and introduces a new facial mask into the mix.
*Paris was glorious and will be covered in the upcoming Paris bonus ep.
