Welcome to S1E5, 5G. We’re caffeinating you up for this one with an espresso martini so you don’t miss any of the action (drink lesson starts at 1:03, episode discussion starts at 8:44). Why does everything important happen at diners in TV shows? This episode is also a real masterclass in nice things to say to someone about their short story when you don’t actually like it. And oh yeah, by the way, virginity is a social construct.
