This episode talks about how past pain can affect new situations, making innocent people seem like enemies. Holding onto old hurt can turn simple things, like a compliment or a group project, into something stressful for no reason.

Examples include Taylor Swift’s breakup drama, Batman’s trust issues, and Ross from Friends bringing his past into every relationship. All of them show what happens when pain isn’t dealt with properly. The episode gives simple ways to stop this cycle: notice when the past is affecting the present, work through emotions instead of pushing them onto others, and give people a fair chance. Healing takes time, but carrying old pain only makes life harder.
