Summary

Stassi’s back with bestie Taylor Strecker — and she’s sick-sick. Fever, chills, body aches, two IVs, and every test (COVID, flu, all of it) came back negative. It’s officially a mystery illness. While she recovers, the girls swap germ-a-phobe confessions, parenting pet peeves, and the fine line between being cautious and being that friend who still shows up when their kid is sick. Then it’s Halloween party debrief time: Stassi’s Bubonic Plague costume crisis, Taylor’s full-commitment Blake Lively moment, and why niche costumes are the new status symbol — plus falling for fake AI videos and debating whether the Louvre heist was actually pulled off by a bored billionaire.
