🍒 Chapter 17: The Boiling Point • Part 1

Cece blends warmth and tension in this episode as she recounts choosing her beloved chihuahua Zoie — the “mean puppy” who perfectly matched her personality — and shares humorous memories of early adulthood, Blockbuster dates, and the chaos of a house full of pets. Beneath the humor, conflict is escalating at home: double standards around responsibility, her father’s controlling behavior, and growing strain between Cece and her dad. The chapter culminates in a major confrontation that leads to Cece being told to leave the house — and her choosing to go with Bryce for safety and support.
