Summary

Trish & Lorraine take a new friendship quiz to find out which pals drain us and which friends fuel us. And the duo, who've known each other for over 30 years, tackle the tricky problem of dealing with the friend who is an emotional vampire, always stealing your energy and possibly making you comfort eat! They learn how to walk away, set boundaries or find a path back to friendship joy. Plus: Lorraine fights the invasion of the 'man buns' in the sauna, and Trish tackles speedos in the steam room.
