In this week’s mini episode, Haley and Harmony start off with the Mini-Weird episode exclusive Headline-A-Thon, with topics ranging from a meth and tobacco prison canon to a British breastaurant expansion. Then, Haley shares the twists and turns of the new Zizzian cult drama, and Harmony bums everyone out with a particularly gruesome Valentine’s murder. And Haley closes out the episode with a Cutie Pie Corner featuring a very bloated possum!
