For Episode 14, Kevin and Nikki are thrilled to welcome Joelle Parker, visiting all the way from Nepal, and the depths of Nikki’s past. Joelle had the privilege of being Patient Zero for the early days of the drunken Mallory versus Stacey debates when they went to college together approximately 1000 years ago. During the course of the episode, we unearth a Bearenstein/Bearenstain level paradox about Mallory’s supposed red hair, dissect exactly how sad it is that Byron has a ‘toy printing press,’ and most importantly, we celebrate the superior moping powers of 11 year old girls. As a bonus, we meet our first new (soon-to-be) BSC character since Dawn showed up: Jessi, who we’ll see plenty more of in Season 2 of the Stoneybrook Wine Club.

Beverages Consumed: My So-Called Ginger (We totally made this one up. It's just whiskey and gingerale.)
