Laura's parents take her to the airport and her mom reads her for filth. Birkan is a wannabe philosopher who is also likely in a ton of debt. Forrest and Sheena finally meet and lots of sweating and tears are had by all. Lisa is a total idiot who thinks a Nigerian scammer named Daniel loves her. And finally, Rick finds out what Trisha was doing for 5 days but it's NOTHING compared to what he got up to when he felt he was ghosted. Rick is a bad dude, y'all.
