Then, beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira broke up with her husband, everyone sat down – it was a whole thing. And finally, SLOW NEWS WEEK!

Paul Mescal potentially made a relationship boo boo!!! Whatever you make of it, it led us to the idea for this episode, so I guess… thanks, Paul? We asked you guys to write in with your relationship violations, and our task today is to put our umpire hats on and grade them A+ to F.

This week, Mich recommended reading ‘Lessons From My Me Too’ from The Cut. Zara recommended rewatching Parks and Rec on Stan!
