In this special episode, Sawyer reflects on previously unreleased excerpts from the first three episodes of Pause For Effect. In a four minute excerpt that was cut for time in Episode 1, Sawyer and Lauren discuss her Dynamic Catholic commercial and Lauren's opinions on having a family and going through the "rite of passage" moments in life. Rachel Glynn (Episode 2) shares how she believes the country's current governmental structure is outdated, while Sawyer analyzes why artists generally tend to be labeled as 'liberal'. An interesting moment from Episode 3 is revealed when Ray provides insight as to why stepping away from Sansami for two seasons was the right choice for her creatively, as well as why Sawyer is Rabbit in a Winnie the Pooh scenario. Finally, Sawyer rounds out the episode by recapping productions and outstanding performances he has witnessed in person in 2018.
