Kara is on a break from social media and the impact it has on her mental health is profound. Delving into heavier topics, Kim sent Kara a Washington Post article on a Columbia, SC school resource officer who sexually abused students. Turns out, Kara worked with him. 

They explore the complexities of knowing and liking someone who is later revealed to be an offender, and the importance of not making excuses for their actions. They also touch on the role of character witness statements and the power dynamics that enable predators to exploit their victims. The conversation highlights the need for accountability and the dangers of compartmentalization. 

Kim and Kara also touch on the tragic school shooting in Georgia as it unfolds. The conversation covers heavy topics but emphasizes the importance of understanding different perspectives and always remaining open to new information and varying opinions.
