2. Jessel's "Clueless" Birthday Party: Jessel dreams of embodying Cher from Clueless, complete with multiple outfit changes, and ropes her friends into the theme. The party sets the stage for playful exchanges, including Jenna arriving dressed as Cher’s dad, and a mock "lawsuit" game between friends.
3. Drama Sparks: Erin expresses frustration with Jenna, feeling that Jenna hasn't been a supportive friend during a tough year. A series of confessional moments reveal Erin's struggles, resentment, and desire for deeper friendship. Meanwhile, Ubah opens up about the challenges and gratitude of being a Somali immigrant in the U.S., sharing her art and perspective on identity.
4. Bitter Banter & Friendships Tested: Brynn stirs the pot by critiquing Erin’s friendship with Jenna. Erin confronts Jenna about their strained relationship, while Raquel steps in, encouraging the group to address issues openly.
