In this episode Kelsie and Brooke are introducing the first theme of the season: Empresses, Monarchs, and Politicians. Then Kelsie teaches Brooke a little bit about just how far back you can take this theme... to the very beginning. They discuss the Sumerian King, Kubaba, and the Egyptian Pharaoh, Nefertiti.
