    Sal should also give us gifts for having to endure that last episode

    Hopefully Sal can keep it together this time. I feel like I have PTSD from the last one. Joe better read all the comments to Sal.

    This is like your parents explaining leaving a dinner party to the hosts after one or both of them overstepped in front of you as a kid - And that’s exactly the kind of drama I signed up for, love it - the sound of a broom sweeping up 🧹 glass and hushed whispers following the passion of the babes being unleashed. Only 1 food can be right.

    In Sal's defense, gaslighting is the essence of the show.
