In this upsetting yet engrossing episode, Janet and Jared have a frank discussion about the onslaught of disturbing DMs landing in Janet's message folder. The duo try to make sense of the vitriol and dive deeper into the bizarre nature of parasocial relationships. Also, what do Janet's fellow cast mates think of the fandom's never ending obsession of her? What does it mean to have empathy in an age dictated by social media rage and the "mob mentality"? How can one person take so much bullying and what happens when they've reached the brink?
